"kook" is pretty good, what w/ a great sample, epic synth vibe and creepy "presk" vocal clip, but i still prefer "sweat" (presk & cinnaman)
presk IS killing it though, four for four on dope EPs

btw is it just me or does croydon house sample "sacred cycles"?

Another Presk track, remixing Tessela and Hackman. The rest of the 12" is wicked too.
Feeling the latest South London Ordnance on 2nd Drop too: http://soundcloud.com/stholdings/south-london-ordnance

the first four tracks of this new slugabed album are great, but then it turned into a blur of hi-fi synth-fusion to me (ie no hooks). maybe i shouldn't have tried to listen to it all at once.

NEWFLASH - MOSCA BITES HAND THAT FEEDS
going back to '09 listening to Marcus making this weird, weird house music basically that brings in all these elements, I wanna go back to that. If you want a guitar in your track, that's cool, you can do that. Now in UK bass you cannot have guitars—that's one of the rules. You have to have 808s, big Julio Bashmore bass, a US rap sample repeated, cowbell, a little Burial garage sample and a Deadboy synth that goes "eeewwwaaooo," bending all over the place. And those are the rules now. And you do get a lot of, it's just the same old same old that I get sent. There's so many people making music now, that it's flooded.

Bashmore has actually been using guitar a lot on his recent stuff

I'm really psyched that DJG seems to be extricating himself from dubstep and slowly evolving into something else.
He was way too cool for the kids he was hanging out with IMO.

Having been going over old DMZ tracks in the last few days I was wondering if it makes sense to have a Dance Partisans of the Past thread, encompassing everything from early 00's proto dubstep to cotemporary Bass, or whether assorted thread already suffice?

I wouldn't mind having a place to get nostalgic about my record crates.
― Josiah Alan, Monday, 21 May 2012 12:12 (1 year ago) Permalink
Ate a lot of ramen so that I could buy all those DMZ platters.
Oh god, I don't want to think about my current diet when I look at my records in 10 years.

Is there anything resembling an independent English language dance publication left?

And I by publication I mean something with a separate editorial entity from the marketing department, no offense meant to Sonic Router or any of the other blobs out there.

My mate Sully was good enough to pop down and do a set for us on Saturday. I may be biased, but the guy needs his own Fabric cd - very cool blends of uk bass and us-style house, lots of cut-up mixes etc.

I know dungeon dubstep is backward looking and not very exciting to most but I'm determined to plumb the depths.

that's cool but also almost entirely based on what is known in my circle as 'the forbidden rhythm'

is that the lambada rhythm?

This one? Sounds sort of like a clave, slower reggaeton kind of thing.

Swindle is probably referencing soca more than anything but I'm not 100% sure on that.

super curious why it's forbidden
― the late great, Thursday, 14 June 2012 15:58 (11 months ago) Permalink
yup, especially the first half:
1 2 3 x-x-xx-x-
it's like the go-to unfunky clave for fake latin beats. sure it can be voiced well or disguised/extended but i try to stay away from it when possible.

is there a link to an mp3 where i can hear that rhythm? i am terrible at reading tab for beats.
