Woah that Champion remix is good. Has to be the best remix he's done since his version of Bad Girl, right?
― Mr Andy M, Tuesday, 12 July 2011 13:41 (3 days ago) Bookmark
it is but that makes it sound like the others have disappointed! his mix of encore's 'the one' is one of my most cherished things this year, really bizarre upper/downer confection of dazed elation and sugary boyband singing about suicide
mclean 'finally in love' mix a classic in my book too, still don't know why ppl didnt go crazy over that

thing that keeps blowing my mind with that sugababes mix is just how fucking improbably great heidi sounds as a boss funky diva, the girl is living a lie

Yeah I hear what you're saying. The One remix is quite freakish really, def an odd mixture of moods on it. Finally In Love remix got used on a few mixtapes iirc, but didn't get much radio play for some reason, though I think Pioneer played it a bit.Will try and track down those new tunes you mentioned - think I've heard Expensive before but can't remember anything about how it sounds (them useful posts there, lol).
― Mr Andy M, Sunday, 17 July 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
Marcus Nasty birthday set (13 July) sounding excellent so far. The track at 70 min = my life has been irrevocably altered forever.
― Tim F, Monday, 18 July 2011 09:36 (twelve years ago) link
not gonna lie i heard this set this week and thought nothing of it! let's have another butchers
― r|t|c, Monday, 18 July 2011 13:36 (twelve years ago) link
I'd say the second half is possibly the most consistently aggressive marcus has been since the fabled Nov 2008 MC set.
― Tim F, Monday, 18 July 2011 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
splutter!
i honestly thought it was as dry as most 2011 marcus second hours - maybe leaner and meaner than average, but dry all the same.
do we have any deciding votes in the audience?
― r|t|c, Monday, 18 July 2011 23:31 (twelve years ago) link
i guess there'll always be the dubious honour of having heard the return of farmer yardie though.

NB. "as aggressive as" does not mean "as good as" obv. There's very little recorded music as good as the Nov 2008 set.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 00:59 (twelve years ago) link
Still that 70 min tune into that Nasty/Bassboy tune into the accordion tune is pretty rrrrrushy IMO.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 01:00 (twelve years ago) link
miss fire posted this free ep on her twitter. includes a trc collab and the self-produced 'i can't sleep' (didn't expect this to be the bassline one).
― dbs, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
i love the marcus bday set, esp cos mighty mo brings something extra to it - diff kind of energy to other recent sets ive heard
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
Pointless late reply - yeah I thought the Marcus 13th July set was pretty good overall, I guess the only complaint was that about 2/3rds in it seemed like every tune was banging out the same bassline. MCs were on point though. Got the podcast sitting on comp so will try and ID that 70 minute track in a bit.
― Mr Andy M, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
Mighty Moe is great on funky for sure. Titchy have you heard Funkystepz boiler room set with MM on mic? Top stuff, so much energy.
― Mr Andy M, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
does anyone know what's the track on the marcus bday set after perempay's 'addicted'? tried to make a tracklist for the first hour and that's the only one i'm missing i think. this is what i got:

The track at 70 min = my life has been irrevocably altered forever.Oh sheeeiiit yeah that one. So good, but no idea who it's by. From the way it goes kind of half-time in places I suppose it might be by Matt IQ, but that's a total guess.DBS I really want to know what that vocal is too! The one with the 'sexy boy, listen as I lay it down for you' etc lyrics yeah? Isn't it frustrating when it seems like the best tunes around are the ones you don't know the names of yet? (The restless life of the musical trainspotter...).
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 13:15 (twelve years ago) link

Shay & Sinista ft Jasnett - Spend Some Time
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
Thank you! Wouldn't have guessed that was an S&S production actually. Big tune anyway.
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 14:49 (twelve years ago) link
s&s really do do all sorts, not many producers you could say genuinely carry not a trace of a signature sound
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 14:59 (twelve years ago) link
doesnt help when you periodically confuse them with andy jay & s-tee though mind
i keep listening to this 70min track on marcus and wondering if i've got the right set, what's the big deal? some of the sounds make me think mr tickle/dva but i wouldnt set my stall
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 July 2011 15:09 (twelve years ago) link
^It's the one after Mr Tickle - Don't Do Lemon & before the Shitta remix. Just when Ramzee first shows up. I'm struggling to describe what makes it particularly good right now, but it is, lol.
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 July 2011 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
thx rtc!
― dbs, Friday, 22 July 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
It's the drums of course! And the three basslines. It's in that Dem 2 / New Horizons lineage of gorgeously textured but also restlessly funky plinky plonky sounds.

Slick R&B + banging beats = my perennial favourite. And I was destined to love this tune given it sounds like my beloved "Deja Vu (Major Notes Remix)".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 09:56 (twelve years ago) link
haha yes you can already kinda tell it's one of those little classics no one else will really go nuts over despite many minor, increasingly strangulated, and then strangely resigned references to it over the forthcoming years
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:37 (twelve years ago) link
That's enough to make me tear up actually.
At least it has a name. It's very hard even for a legacy as frail as the above to attach to my other forgotten favourite, the tune that samples Jagged Edge's "Walked Outta Heaven".
― Tim F, Monday, 1 August 2011 10:47 (twelve years ago) link
actually if you have the time (or the memory) can you remind me where exactly that jagged edge cropped up, i should like to have another stab at it
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 August 2011 11:10 (twelve years ago) link
Marcus had a set on Deja with Shantie and Rankin' in May 2008, that he offered for download as 13 tracks. The Jagged Edge tune comes in at 7 min on track 1 and crosses over into track 2.
It's got this repeating piano figure and whirring beats, and "Rolling down the lonely highway, asking god to please forgive me." It's always been my pet theory that it's a Target tune as Marcus says at the beginning of the set he's got a Target track to play and it's vaguely like something he might have done.
