jimi i love u but you're bringin me down
its all sampled kits clipped from dads drums and clicked to a grid
to make it sound generic in that dfa kinda way.
the early dfa comps went right into this sound: /
Nina just sounds like a minimal dub version of that.

sounds like drum machines to me
and huge lols at dissing something by comparing it to "casual friday"

If it's generic, how can you assign any of its characteristics to a source?

Did shovel do the drums for DFA?

The only trolling here is generic house like Nina the Blondes & Talabot.

LOL @ this sounding remotely like black leotard front. that would be AMAZING but unfortunately it is not true

This reminds me a bit of Blackdown's eternal crusade against "winebar house".

also - wtf are "dad drums"? i think i like them

This shit has live sounding drums locked to a house grid.
oh man that is just THE WORST. Live drums and house music is SO DFA
never mention the fact that there is absolutely nothing resembling live drums on this at all
all these 'criticisms' make me want to like this even more than i already do

and yea it is weird how earnest posts about an understated album have inspired so much vitriol.
i feel like i can listen to something on hessle or swamp 81 and think to myself, "i have no idea where or why anyone would listen to this stuff" but that doesn't mean i'm not willing to accept that i might have overlooked smthg or be listening to it in the wrong context and maybe i should just let it slide and post about stuff i actually enjoy

idgi it either but tim's comment about it sounding more or less like a poker flat album from the last 10 years kinda covers any other comments i could add to the thread

i don't hear even any vague similarities between nina kraviz, blondes, john talabot and dfa. also the only people who have heard of nina kraviz are huge dance heads, not indie people

I played her for Rev in the outloud room one night, which I think was his first time hearing her. I'm neither a dance head or an indie people.

I am frequently surprised by the lengths people will go to in order to categorise things together based on their own feelings of love or hate rather than, um, what the music sounds like.

This is mega Berlin 2012 DFA tech indie house if ever I saw it.

i don't get the "indie" thing or the dfa comparisons either. haha ok i just relistened to some kalabrese and i don't know what i was remembering because kalabrese is certainly not "jam packed" or maximalist, by and large. there is a lot of overlap with what nina kraviz is doing for sure. it's more interesting to me to figure out why they're different, though, and to my mind they are. damned if i can really explain it. i can also see the comparisons with poker flat but again i've been bored silly by most poker flat stuff i've heard and not this, which despite its surface-level boringness and songs which develop maybe 2mm from where they started still manages to keep me listening (some more than others, obv; i don't really like the ultra-leaden voice on "ghetto kraviz" for example). perhaps one point of distinction between kraviz and somebody like dani siciliano (or kalabrese) is the sense of cheapness to it, for lack of a better word. half thought-out. which is maybe what jimi was getting at. but me, i like cheap if it sounds like this!

i feel like this has been the scourge of dance discussion here and beyond for a long, long time. not that there hasn't been plenty good discussion. really wish it would stop, there is this constant thing everything some people hate is labelled as a word they've already decided they hate and vice versa, regardless of the music.

I saw her over the weekend and she only played super-super-super-SUPER-SUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEERRRR-tracky techno with barely any synth lines or anything and no real obvious breakdowns or buildups and most people (self-included) had no idea what to do with it. Like people would just dance for a little bit and then stop cause there weren't really any cues in the music to ease back here, go nuts here, whatever.
