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.

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

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?

Benny B, Thursday, 10 January 2013 12:07 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Thursday, 10 January 2013 12:24 (eleven years ago) link

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

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

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.

jimitheexploder, Thursday, 10 January 2013 18:30 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Thursday, 10 January 2013 20:23 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Thursday, 10 January 2013 20:25 (eleven years ago) link

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

what are your fave bubblers atm Tracer?

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/

Datwun, Sunday, 13 January 2013 03:07 (eleven years ago) link

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

Matt DC, Sunday, 13 January 2013 14:25 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Monday, 14 January 2013 14:53 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Monday, 14 January 2013 14:59 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Benny B, Monday, 14 January 2013 19:46 (eleven years ago) link

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

Benny B, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:22 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:53 (eleven years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Monday, 14 January 2013 22:00 (eleven years ago) link

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).

Benny B, Monday, 14 January 2013 22:31 (eleven years ago) link

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

Since this seems to be the default Disclosure thread, uh:

haha i was literally just coming here to post that

that is the best thing anyone involved has put their name to, it's amazing

lex pretend, Monday, 21 January 2013 22:32 (eleven years ago) link

This is a lot better than anything I expected anything involving the words "ft alunageorge" to be, nicely done Disclosure. Like the ... plasticky windchime sound they use?

a salient indicator of jackin's greatness is that if u should hire a scene dude for an oldskool set - who knows what you're gonna get?

some pwopa nawty musicological roots right here

r|t|c, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 13:35 (eleven years ago) link

I heard a similar old skool set a while back from a 'name' jackin guy but forgot to bookmark it. This is ace though, thanks. Was thinking the other day theres something quite Todd Terry-ish about Jackin. In my head its kinda like UKG with Terry replacing Edwards as the 'God' figure, sort of...

Benny B, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 13:54 (eleven years ago) link

yeah, i can feel that. hard to get finer point on it than sort of, it's tantalising - tim invoked nu groove upthread so i listened to everything they put out but still couldnt quite get close enough to the essential truth of it. avh, kenny dope also mentioned iirc

on paper i guess this tracklist wouldnt raise an eyebrow but idk you can really feel the jackin in it somehow?

it is also v good btw

r|t|c, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 14:19 (eleven years ago) link

wow @ this Gaz mix - good looking out rtc
