rolling 2012 UKG interzone bubblers thread

I shouldn't love "Coke Diet" as much as I do...

[hessle abuse redacted]

can't say i have too much time for mike delinquent as a dj (obv much love for productions) and that mix shares the vaguely nicheless and frankly remedial air of so much of the ldn urban interpretation right now

afaik anyway

time for a moda interlude bitches. fiyahh

I'm more surprised than anything.. I absolutely loathed the N.E.R.D. song. "Coke Diet" is ridiculous though.

Also enjoying right now:
everything Hannam does as Neeko (please release this stuff!)
Chris Gresswell - Deep Love
Hannah Wants & Lorenzo - I Still Love You (wow!)
Brent Kilner - Narcotics
Paul Lawrence - Everywhere I Turn
Billy Kenny's Diamond Rings refix.
Nick Hannam - Serious
Cavna & Chris Gresswell - When I Move

not sure i really get the big dealio with the neeko stuff, hannam distinguishes himself on so many fronts but not so much with the regular house imo

also you subconsciously think the alias is gonna invoke some nookie or more fire crew vibes but no

"Naughty Good Girl" and "Model" to be released on Amine Edge's new label

ah, the french, the eternal question... do they count. 'goodie goodies' was a fun jam last year, sorta funny they've gone for 'naughty good girl' in that respect with all the trap rap jackin leanings around

props to me for putting a load of bouncy rap house on my interzone moodboard ages ago btw

my #1 Amine jam

You'd consider his Neeko stuff regular house?

I've only heard three of his Neeko productions (Lie to You, People Outside, and the Biggie sampling one). Part of why I like them so much is that to my ears they have a rougher, more nervous, rushy energy than some of his other productions. That, and I'm a genuine sucker for some of the acapellas that he's using.

regular as in not far dissimilar to popular deep-not-deep hot creay/maceo plex/whatever stuff yeah

I can see that, yeah. I can hear a lot of that sound in jackin overall.

it's fun to look at it from the pseudo other side as well, like i mean if i said to you caddyshack sample + zombie drop then jackin would very much be your guess

but yeah, jackin protagonists' unusual fluency (as dj/producer/consumers) in general dance dialects gives a simultaneous precariousness and surety to the music that keeps it massively engaging

ah how casually great is this lil excursion

it only seems a trifle unitl you realise some spend careers trying hard and failing hard to even approach the same joie de vivre

It took me literally 3 seconds to fall in love with this. Those strings!

yeah it really reminds me of like trc, screama, emvee etc breezily switching codes from bassline to funky to wherever else and back

maybe i'm belabouring the point but it gives a real sense of a pure elemental musical fluidity, something that kind of transcends the more studious evolutions of historical nuum-y ldn stuff idk

i guess this is what i mean about jackin's precariousness/assurance binary, they're not beholden to following a scenius muse like the funky lot were, they can and will make whatever they feel the need to, whatever the moment demands, and because their only concern is with what works there's the necessary guarantee of expert calibration... but at some point the jackin tribe will just shrug and abruptly melt off into the next vibe

the ldn scene in comparison is a lot more tidal and right now you could say it's still in an ebb phase, still absorbing. so you'll get all these uninspired genre-aping wannabe tech-house mixes doomed to forever be pathetically poor relations, or mishmash mixes with 'au seve' bunged in somewhere that don't quite grasp anything yet, or whatever

rambling-ass generalisations itt

like remember scotty d? awesome uk funky scotty d? yeah this is him now...

In Thailand so not really keeping up with the links but that rambling ass post feels
OTM.

One of the problems with LDN is that it feels much more self-conscious at the moment, everyone tries to be a 'proper' (insert) for better or (almost always) worse.

if you can get funkystepz 'lovers' for xmas why couldnt i have screama / phe phe 'never say bye' :(

Still a classic!

woah that Scotty D is very much in the vein of all that Ave a Word/Audio Rehab/shape cutting/shuffling stuff thats about. It suits him though. I mean stuff like this

lol and not two days later what do i see but dissensus man dem bugging out over a brent kilner sunday roaster

http://i.imgur.com/K7URS.png

haha maybe it is a bit like that but I like that one, wouldn't want all jackin to sound like that though. Who is this brent kilner chap anyway?

dunno, just some guy i think

it's not a bad tune, none of his are, but how many times does techstep have to happen? vigilance people

eh it always happens sooner or later no matter how vigilant any one of us is, i'm just enjoying it all while i can

"Jeans" is wonderful! not much about its cut-up vox screams 'Todd' to me but otoh it's another great C&A one-off - i've heard a fair amount of trad jackin' house and yet i couldn't name a single tune that brings the glitz and friskiness of 2step in a remotely similar fashion

http://soundcloud.com/tuffculture

on a ukg tip i'm liking this guy's stuff a fair bit lately, little bits of artful/mj/todd/sunship in there but feeling a lot fresher than the usual revival business imo

http://soundcloud.com/output-production/aluna-george-ykyli-b15-project

alunageorge on the r&b thread made me get back into this b15 project remix of them from a year or so ago, so effortlessly vintage wonderful and underrated even in these striated times! did they really just pop back up for this thing after a decade and disappear again?

Kinda miss that fucked up swing from this thread early on.

New DJ Q is wicked too

https://soundcloud.com/localactionrecords/dj-q-trust-again-feat-louise

Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown remix is a beast as well.

yeah anywhere around i can hear those remixes? i tried and failed

only really find uttu etc worthwhile when q's articulating tbh, don't really bubble on their own. mista men i p much don't care for no matter who's selecting

by which i basically mean it's alright having a fucked up swing if youre a regular swing ninja too, otherwise step off

jesus christ can i just exclaim for the record how much ridiculously great music is getting produced these days??!

indeed :)

what are your fave bubblers atm Tracer?

love the segue from "Snatch Ma Crops" to "Money Cant Buy It", like a merry theme-park ride taking a detour to the Spooky House of Horrors

apology accepted

Wow I like this thread, people are talking about jackin and not parring it.
Lots of really good recommendations here!

Love the hip hop vocal, and love how the bass line cycles through like 3 or 4 different synth sounds as it plays through, sawtooths, wobbles, warps, donks.

Anyone listened to Fuck Jack's House by aggz yet?
http://aggz.bandcamp.com/
really good to hear his stuff compiled together, Licky was one of the first tracks I discovered through bigtunesmp3. pure 'ardcore in both the cheesy/kiddy sing along chorus, and the breaks. The bass is so /gloopy/

I'm still not really on the bus in the direction this thread has taken but 'Get Enough' is amazing.

still finding it kinda weird you linking that scotty d to the shuffleshape scene benny, are you into it?

i guess cos i don't really rate that scene at all it's more a grimace at the genre moreso than at yourself

ldn doing the exact bovine opposite of what i want it to by taking the interzone and forgetting the bubbling

strong irrational urge to lay some blame on pioneer for this shit, crap wannabe house dj who never truly got the uk funky vibe

I like that Scotty D but can´t say I´m into this shuffle stuff generally, but I guess its worth keeping an eye on. Thats what it sounds like to me though, can you not see it? Were you meaning to compare the Scotty D to Jackin when you posted it? If so, can´t really see it myself.

...i mean do you like the scotty d? You didn't make it clear when you posted it.

no nothing to do with jackin, i brought it up in negative comparison to regular "deep" current house to make the point about ldn's lifeless and uninspired inferior aping of it - danny daze for beginners kinda thing

i hadn't shuffle in mind but idk i'd originally assumed that scene was a little more strung-out, minimal and techy than that scotty d is for some reason

instead it turns out shuffle and the vaguer thing i was aiming at are closely twinned if not indeed more or less the same

i mean i think i can kinda detect a slightly ruffer slant on house in shuffle sets than maybe you'd normally get but still to make a buzz and a dance and etc about it all is like duhhhhhhh, have a cookie kids

kindergarten version of what circle were doing basically, with perhaps a touch more anthropological interest but still the same value ultimately

yeah sounds about right re: shuffle at this point. Can't say I've made it all the way through any sets I've clicked on in soundcloud yet.

mind that scotty d sounds pretty strung out and minimal to me, I think it would fit in a 'shuffle set' (whatever that is lol).

this homegrown number (the first explicitly for the london shape throwing scene? I dunno, circle didn't have any records out did they?) reminded me a little bit of OB/Fingaprint Domino effect rmx. Nowhere near as good obv (rubbish vocals!) but still. http://youtu.be/fcLAILNH7vc

but anyway, none of it really fits in with this thread.

as recently as last month this show was just a vague sorry grab bag, guess this is his big unveiling

the sotu music making up half of that is pioneer's label btw - the cheek of having someone calling himself "ilm" signed to it :P
