You know what's really good? The Moda Black comp that features Celsius' "Must Be You" - more on a straight Hot Creations tip by and large but OMG at Hot SInce 82's "Knee Deep In Louise" and Lukas' "Best in Show".

Oooh, "Jagged Edge" is pretty good. Vocal thing like on Tropical 2. I wish I could eat pizza though. I don't understand all the sub-classifications, but this thread usually has some stuff I like. (Meanwhile, the overwhelming bulk of electronic dance music does nothing for me. Started going through the 00s poll winners, the Spotify-available ones anyway, and as usual I find myself skipping a lot.)

love the monty luke and eats everything tracks! can't really hear a deepness/bubbliness divide per se though.
the "bassline soldiers" track is amazing but i'm not sure about the vox at all, they seem...at odds
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 08:37 (eleven years ago) link
There's not necessarily a divide in the music. It's more the way different tunes take on different qualities in different contexts. If you're looking for deepness the the above house tunes sound underwhelming, adequate to the task rather than particularly well executed.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 09:02 (eleven years ago) link
no it's more that i don't really know what you mean by "deepness" and "bubbliness" in this context
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 09:24 (eleven years ago) link
I think the real demarcation these days is less between abstract vs songful and more along production values lines.
This is where a distinction between say 1999 garage and 2001 garage really makes sense, the earlier stuff still retaining a kind of vinyl warmth and almost-"deepness" and the later stuff sounding like the contrast has been turned up - heavier but more plasticky beats, exaggerated bass but also exaggerated treble... a generalised air of hyperreality.
This (rather than pop vs abstraction or lightness vs heaviness) is probably the key point of distinction between "future garage" and the stuff that Q plays, only it's even more extreme now, future garage being "deep" to the point where it has to shun anything that might interfere with that, and the Q interzone retaining (albeit as a kind of reigning principle rather than a clearly defined sonic property) the sickly harshness of bassline.

In this case sub in Vahid saying the house tunes rtc posted were also-ran copies of "Orbitalife" for jim saying Disclosure are also-ran copies of post-dubstep/future garage.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 09:42 (eleven years ago) link
i didn't even know there was supposed to be a demarcation between '99 and '01 garage and i don't really understand that paragraph. this is why i don't write about instrumental dance music any more. (or read about it much either.) it just seems like splitting hairs ever finer.

I downloaded that this morning and am expecting a reliably bubbly commute home as a result.

very tempted to ask what your commute is so i can come watch your bubbly-anticipating face in person

It's basically like, say, his FACT mix from last year, only in album form.
― Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 13:57 (eleven years ago) link
i would have said it's much more of a serious piece than that mix was
― r|t|c, Monday, 10 September 2012 14:11 (eleven years ago) link
calling it the music for the jilted generation to the mix's experience might be overstating it a touch but either way i havent been able to stop think of royal-t in terms of liam howlett this week

Hmmm yes okay - TBH I'd have to listen to the FACT mix to compare - I basically meant that, pleasingly, it's wall to wall straight bangers.
― Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
Music For The Jilted Generation is a nice point of comparison definitely! Though it makes me wish Royal-T had done a "suite" at the end.
― Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
ah right ok
is it not taken as given by now though that r-t only trades in bangers as such? within that however you can differentiate between the factmix's grime/butterz cheeky delinquency, the adult dance melangey/rinse of the album, maybe in addition even the crowdpleasing hardcore finesse-less punishing bosh of the newer mixes and radio shows (fat of the land?)
even still, 'music box', 'missing aurora'... probably his tenderest work
― r|t|c, Monday, 10 September 2012 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
Yes but the history of dance music is littered with the bones of producers who only trade in bangers until their debut album.
Although that hasn't been the case for the album releases on Rinse (which deviation from the norm seems actually to have hurt the artists critically/commercially? Roska at least).
maybe in addition even the crowdpleasing hardcore finesse-less punishing bosh of the newer mixes and radio shows (fat of the land?)
haha, I think at this point the analogy gets a bit strained.
― Tim F, Monday, 10 September 2012 23:34 (eleven years ago) link
Even if you could afford to I suspect that making a Rinse-branded album full of orchestras, whale noises and Hope Sandoval would be somewhat frowned upon by the people actually releasing yr record.
Had to push in front of a pregnant woman at one point because I really needed a sit down after the first three tracks. It can't quite keep that level up throughout, although the Ruby Lee Ryder track is excellent. Certainly darker than I'd expected although there's still a certain beat-em-up glee to the middle section that makes 'austere' not really the right word.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 09:05 (eleven years ago) link

― r|t|c, Friday, 21 September 2012 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
I am 100% down with the notion of UKG interzone bubbler remixes of Hot Creations etc but in this case that's only true if they remix out Ali Love.
― Matt DC, Friday, 21 September 2012 10:45 (eleven years ago) link
xp like i hear that and think of the gabryelle refix
now i just need reality to back me up
― r|t|c, Friday, 21 September 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
yeah matt you say that but for instance how diff is ali love to say sampha on the 'living like i do' lil silva remix
these things are accepted now
― r|t|c, Friday, 21 September 2012 10:49 (eleven years ago) link
haha yeah bad taste tuneless vocals only make it more real. And this is very awesome, gabrelle refix is a good ref pt.
Was startled to hear a jackin' remix of Tina Arena's "Chains" on that Nick Hannam dj mix Miko Mcha posted.
― Tim F, Friday, 21 September 2012 11:24 (eleven years ago) link
sampha's vocals have never been acceptable either

i <3 hot creations though, they're the only people permitted to use r&b samples now (it ensures ali love's absence at least)
