I haven't heard the album yet but "Ecstasy Refix" and "Magic Drops" and "Arpjam" are my favorite Jam City

seems solidly UK to me? nice interview, BW!

nice interview Brainwasher!
me and lex interviewed him ... jeez what, a year and a half now ago? o_O .. i think we asked a similar question about whether he wanted to write anything for a vocalist. it seems like such a natural progression.

hey lex tell us about the jam city album
is that a ltj bukem sample on "nite life"?

i'm kind of not sure what i think of it!
i do like the bonus track with main attrakionz a lot

ugh that track is terrible

nah rev it's wonderful

I really like both Main Attrakionz and Jam City but wasn't feeling that track at all unfortunatly. Looking forward to the album mind. Feels like its been in the works forever, I sware one of the Night Slugs guys said it was ready to go in 2010. They must have done a do over or something.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 10 May 2012 07:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
If nothing else a Jam City / Main Atrakiionz collabo is a good candidate for any 2012 time capsule.

tbh the new girl unit ep has kinda overshadowed the jam city album in terms of my attention - "ensemble" and "club rez" really are stunning, and i love that there's no attempt to even go near trying to recreate "wut" - is anyone else using the EP format so well right now?
― liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Thursday, 10 May 2012 08:09 (1 year ago) Permalink
how do you mean?
and where is FINAL JOOST?!?
― the late great, Thursday, 10 May 2012 14:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
man, that isley bros sample (replayed?) at the end of "double take". i don't think it's possible to sample "summer breeze" and fuck it up.
― The Reverend, Friday, 11 May 2012 04:27 (1 year ago) Permalink
and "club rez" just totally rulez
― The Reverend, Friday, 11 May 2012 04:28 (1 year ago) Permalink
i didn't know what thread to use for this. it's not on night slugs or anything but hearing it for the first time was overwhelming in a similar way to the first time i heard "wut". just that incredible melody pealing out
http://soundcloud.com/localactionrecords/blue-sleet-soundcloud-clip
there's another track on the ep called "fat city" which might be even better

lex you said upthread something about night slugs using the EP format better than anyone else, still trying to figure out what you mean by that and why you said it, seems like they use the format more or less like any other dance artist
― the late great, Monday, 14 May 2012 22:32 (1 year ago) Permalink
That new Slackk EP on Local Action is indeed a beast. He's really nailed those fucked up synth melodies. Almost Transparent is ace too, the subtler synths work a treat on that one.
― jimitheexploder, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 08:05 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think he meant Girl Unit himself rather than Night Slugs? But yeah I don't really get the point.

Is Ensemble (Club Mix) meant to sound like 'In Your Arms' by Mylo?
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Saturday, 19 May 2012 14:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
ikonika's new i make lists EP is finally out and it's incredible, maybe the best thing she's done yet - the melodies are just mind-blowing, the way she makes the synths sing, and the amount of cavernous space around them...

Just came back from the Night Slugs/Fade To Mind showcase at SXSW. Saw Nguzunguzu, Kingdom w/Kelala, L-Vis and Bok Bok. The whole night was good, but L-Vis/Bok Bok were the highlight, and yes, they did Bring In Da Katz.

speaking of Bok, his new Fade to Mind mix is very good (and ends with 151 Feva Gang!)

saw Bok last night, he played a good but predictable set to a small, fairly wack crowd with too many dudes. I went to the monthly rare soul night at the same club last weekend and it was way more popping :/

All the stuff I recognized was ns/ftm, some of which was p old ("irl" "stalker ha"), some new ("bank head", "ballad 4ad"). The stuff I didn't recognize was either on the techy side or ballroom trax

Heh. The promoter has euphemistically described last night's show as "cozy". And apparently RL Grime has sold out the same spot tonight.
