rolling 2012 UKG interzone bubblers thread

haha, downloading now

just ftr cause & affect (and shorterz idk?) with jamie george on the mic have the second half of this week's marcus but i wouldnt say it was overly essential listening

want an id for this first whiteboy dub calypso track on the shadow child set already

hey guys, serious ?:

what is an interzone bubbler?

ukg interzone - the space where uk garage mingles with other club music du jour and vice versa

bubbler - dance tune with a bubbly, carribean-like feel... or something like that, there are probably like twenty smarter and better worded Finney posts on the matter ;)

yeah functionally speaking this is basically just like a catch-all thread for uk garage and other dance musics that come (or are made to come) within its orbit

subtextwise i guess maybe you could say there's a small scale disco-not-disco moment going on right now (with a dj called dj q as its larry levan) with this stuff and the idea of a bubbler and its bubbling is a valiant attempt to theorise the ties that loosely but indubitably bind various stuff together

thing is we'd reject a solid rubric for it anyway so it's kind of a we know it when we hear it on the fly thing idk

Interzone bubbling is one of those attempts: the effort to take the temperature of the age without instruments and in a situation in which we are not even sure there is so coherent a thing as an "age," or zeitgeist or "system" or "current situation" any longer. Interzone bubbling is then dialectical at least insofar as it has the wit to seize on that very uncertainty as its first clue and to hold to its Ariadne's thread on its way through what may not turn out to be a labyrinth at all, but a gulag or perhaps a shopping mall.

^ before being fatally sb'd for repeatedly just posting "hold tight my bassline soldiers you know the koo" noted raver frederic jameson had this to say on the matter

thanks gents! :)

keep on bubbling, i will read more of the thread.

of course, my first thought was joy division + 7-up

the other ukg superword seems to be "skankin" - but i'm not up on its genealogy

Lol, that's really good - anything can be rescued..

also since i don't think it has been mentioned this here is a boss tune

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLVa000Jv1s

I was playing the Marcus sexy jacking set in the car and the intro to "Away We Go" started up and I turned to Matt and said "LISTEN" and then Marcus announced "LISTEN".

wow that hard fi remix. trying to imagine the circumstances leading to its birth

dj ez on the boiler room right now

some jackin bits of interest:

with so many monkeys sampling Aaliyah one was at some point bound to capture at least some of that "Stone Cold" magic, and here it is

lovely deep organ diva stuff

now that these our out of the way imo the only big recent omnipresent tune that remains to be id'd is the 'what must i do to prove to you' one

https://soundcloud.com/paul-lawrence/em-katz-dont-leave-me

coming up with a gonzo groove like this and then knowing fuck all what to do with should be punishable by law :(

rtc i guess this is the "Boiling" refix you were asking for upthread? love it

https://soundcloud.com/causenaffect/cause-affect-kamikaze

guilty pleasure!

https://soundcloud.com/djmartjnr/dub-be-good-to-me-to-me-samplehhh

another fit lil skanker to add to the "Dub Be Good to Me" pile... this is an early version btw, the finished article is rather inferior :\

https://soundcloud.com/dave_fogg/dave-fogg-dont-make-me-wait

not the first tune by this guy that i've enjoyed, gonna be keeping an eye on him

https://soundcloud.com/craig-cornes/ste-haley-craig-cornes-i-am

neato free electroniche dl

err proper link to the third to last one, just for everyone to hear how many hairs i'm splitting:

https://soundcloud.com/djmartjnr/just-be-good-to-mart

never would have expected dj martian to go in that direction

this shitty awards season got me all fucked up and lazy, should have taken 6 months off like last time. havent listened to any proper music in ages

http://soundcloud.com/ryanblyth/dawn-chorus-huddersfield-live

last thing i heard was this, can't recall much other than omg cypress hill and a solemn blood vow never to delete it off the ipod

http://soundcloud.com/ryanjamesmusic/ryan-james-swaggerr-volume-17

also this, nice and solid

last night i had a good time though
dont think i should have had the last line though
half past eight i was totally sober
come half past nine i was totally blind though

^ keeps popping into my head at the most mundane moments

could almost say it's indicative of a kind of pathological morbidity to jackin and jackin appreciation that's fundamentally inexpressible to the casual browser

like the best drops have a real half-smile zombified relish wit to them, this sui generis x-factor that garage or bassline or big beat or whatever u care to throw in never had

but eh idk

Yah i hear that.

Same vibe, I think, that results in jackin remixes of tunes like Tina Arena's "Chains" - jackin' fucks with adult contempo because it can turn the smallness of the latter's gestures to its own dubious ends.

maybe bassline kinda had it actually? but this is a mutation still

Bassline more rictus than half-smile surely?

right right, sugar-addled

What's amazing to me is that i still feel like i'm getting jackin', like it's still opening up and revealing its secrets to me. Truly a mary poppins' travel bag of music sub-genres.

yesss thisssssss finally

actually a perfect example of what we're saying, the build and vocal is pure basslineage but then it can't resist forcing joyous BABYBABYBABYBABYBAY right up against you on its own until suddenly the face falls and... "-by". [cue deliberately disorientating loping drop]

i mean it sux to reuse a coinage but that whole amniotic suspension thing works even better with jackin than it did funky, it's always employing these little strategies to keep you inside it and never break free with pure release

woah that tune's amazing

now that these our out of the way imo the only big recent omnipresent tune that remains to be id'd is the 'what must i do to prove to you' one

http://soundcloud.com/alexparkin/alex-parkin-prove2u

yessss!

haha re:zombiefication there's a new Azari & III refix by Ill Phil & co called HUNGRY FOR THE POWDER

yeah i did think the original sounded a bit laid back...

http://www.mixcloud.com/bennybrassic/lorenzo-mix/

This is awesome Benny!

haha looks like someone needed something that can be mixed into "Latch" :)

great mix Benny!!

http://soundcloud.com/tomgarnett11/tom-garnett-lorenzo-trouble

this is that pure gnostic lick

there they sat in the studio, and suddenly realised "ok but why not just -"

what else but jackin would ever dare

http://soundcloud.com/the_lost_boys-1/basscone-vs-opus-3-128-sample

keep em coming lads :)

this might sound stupid but where can I get the digital version (if any) of the releases in this thread?

as opposed to..?

bigtunesmp3 for jackin, juno for garage

heard "Trouble" first without reading any info about it, boy was i not expecting *that* sample

As opposed to vinyl I guess or white label. I can't find those Lorenzo tracks anywhere.

I don't think those last couple of lorenzos are out yet, but yeah bigtunesmp3 is the place for jackin

These are my current faves, love the ones with hip hop acapellas

BRAND NEW ORIGINAL TRACK FROM MESELF AND GRESSWELL KEEPING THAT HIP-HOP FLAVOUR WITH THAT BEEFY JACKIN' DROP WE ALL KNOW FAR TOO WELL! :)

wahey!!!! [creates super abstract stygian soundworld]

my impression was that none of this stuff was available on vinyl, like we just don't live in that sort of world any more
