marcus 1st: straight jackin, straight fire, way better than than last one

marcus 7th: first hour more all over the place (but fun!), second hour an excellent shorterz mix

luckily for you tim, your scratching the surface is comparable and indeed more preferable to the most beady-eyed gnostic's charts

big yes to all of that (it's practically impossible to find a bad jackin tune at the moment tbf) although i'm not so sold on the rest of the hs82 stuff (pete tong said 'planes trains' was a dj's tune so i stuck two fingers up at my laptop) (funny old world these days where i can hear more garage off tong than on 1xtra btw)

the vocal mix of the rita/2bears doesnt seem to be on sale, horridly

i assume i'm late and the factverse has already been all over this but: oh yes, we like

is it finally time to buy some shares in broken beat? decisions decisions on the trading floor

say something interesting about this tune, no me either. goes though i agree

unsurprisingly this is also totally my gauche shit right now, it's basically exactly the same as the jamie george / burping jackin number posted upthread except with typical hot creay wannabe depeche mode stylings / miaowing instead, very appropriate

i just cannot get enough of how shameless this stuff can be -

sorry if this question doesn't belong here but anyway, what kind of garage is this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLwWxnjz17E

because to me it sounds like a mix between UKG and US house.

here's another example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMyfmHoVxEA

I'd been sure it was 90's new jersey/new york house before I saw it listed as UK garage on discogs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-step_garage

Pirate radio stations often programmed Garage shows for mellow moments in the weekend (Saturday morning, Sunday afternoons). It was on these pirate shows that DJs started pitching up their Garage imports (artists like Masters At Work, Kerri Chandler, Todd Edwards) to 130 bpm, giving them the extra ‘oomph’ required by the London Jungle audience. DJs favoured the dub versions of the US tracks, says Spoony of DJ collective The Dreem Teem, because “not having much vocal element, you could play the dubs faster without them sounding odd”; these near-instrumentals also left gaps for the MCs to do their stuff. Soon the DJs started making homegrown Garage tracks that sounded like their pirate shows.

and faute de mieux this exact stuff is the popular retro sound right now

I see what you mean but I still wonder why the tracks I posted are slow for some supposed ukg tracks.

also for instance if you check the b-side of that there 'allnighter' ('together') it's a rip of logic 'blues for you' (hard dub)

not sure what you really mean by "slow for some supposed ukg tracks" but your examples are from 94 and 96, still protoplasmic times for ukg more or less

ah i see i see, so it's like proto-garage or something like that.

*proto-ukg

mm

what led to you these tracks anyhow may i ask, funnily enough i see bicep have blogged the 24hrexperience but i wouldnt have thought they were your cup of tea

thought occurs that in retrospect you could kinda look at my earlier stanning for 'forward motion' (mk reverse mix) (and subsequent frustration at it seemingly being ignored) as impatience for retro-proto-garage to get on with becoming retro-proto-speed garage

well funnily enough I indeed discovered it from bicep's blog, and I love their music. I don't know what made you think I probably didn't.

i dont really know either come to think of it, can't pretend i'm super au fait with their steez besides the big hits. my mistake

lol/smh @ him still trying to make 'crack house' happen, moreso considering he seems to be completely unaware of jackin's existence, but...

feeling this!

^^ no masterpiece or anything but preferring it vastly to all other "Latch" remixes i've heard so far

also - assuming everyone who frequents this thread is already familiar with this? but just in case:

anyone have any idea what's the track about 18 mins in, the one with the same vocal sample as Roberto Rodriguez' 'I Keep Thinking of You'? bad boy tune

btw just found out Shadow Child is Dave Spoon, mind = blown

WHAT

http://soundcloud.com/lkid/stupid-fresh-thinking-of-you

cool, thanks!

the Dave Spoon thing is super omg but it does make some sense, after all he did come up with stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rihZfpU7fZE

Not sure if this has been posted, but surprising good El-B remix of Disclosure:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LpPyyxMfdA

oh yeah that reminds me, mind taker who did the jackin mix of 'boiling'? feel like it's so obvious but i keep drawing a blank

hangs on "i need it noooooow" and then into a whirring drop like a pitched down agent x 'decoy'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sThivFLK_G8

loving this

hannah wants has the second hour of last weeks marcus btw (ignore the first)

it is almost solely worth it for when she puts the acappella of 'dub me good to me' over redlight's 'basscone' :O

So what are the really good Marcus sets of the past few months perchance apart from that one? I have and love the 4th October set.

ah sod it here's the clip

http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/3414965/file.html

WILL SHELL DOWN ANY RAVE

pretty certain i've posted about every marcus set i heard this year itt, it's only very recently i'm checking more often

My god.

That Redlight/Beats International mash-up is the finest thing I have ever heard.

i'm sayin!

seems that idk if i've heard 4th october, is it one of the soundcloud ones?

Yeah the sexy jacking one.

Has this amazing jacking version of "Ride On Time" you probably know it?

Among many other amazing tunes.

ah yes ok that one

http://soundcloud.com/jackin-trackz/ill-phil-lorenzo-ride-on-time

if i didnt i could have guessed

rolling 2012 UKG interzone bubblers thread

yeah tim you want this post

Okay I'm on it. And thanks for the ID.

4th oct might be jackin at its most insatiable

what's the tune (round the hour mark) that slowly and solemnly builds up amy winehouse 'stronger than me' only to drop it with perfect comic timing for 50 cent "it's your birthday!" and a dirty bass wubbler

truly a classic example of the unappreciated dry jackin wit

i mean who thinks of that, it's just brilliant

if you paid attention to mistajam r|t|c you'd have seen this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p010gygb

i do and i did, but what of it

well that's a photo of DAVE SPOON. who i almost just called BEN SPOON.

not to be confused with Spoonbender, a fictional drill 'n' bass DJ from St Petersburg

how could i not have recognised him [hangs head in shame]

haha yes the Amy/Fiddy tune is awesome, don't know what it is exactly but this appears to be the embryonic version:

http://soundcloud.com/lockhart/stronger-than-me-in-the-club

can't help you with the "Boiling" remix tho

that El-B remix has a tasty bassline but man, wtf happened to his drum programming skills, so sad

Ha, I didn't even really notice, but now that you mention it...

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=560121657336857

sounds fierce pitched down, gotta admit

http://soundcloud.com/tomgarnett11/tom-garnett-the-b1g-one-mix

possibly sighting of a new stikkylips at 23mins here?

sounds like a burkie beat maybe, or lorenzo/cause & affect again judging by mr limey

i have completely forgotten if that mix is any good btw so if anyone listens thru feel free to remind me
