I can't believe I'm already behind again just on the DJ Q links posted on this thread. (Finally getting to the Just For Fun mix.) Thanks all. Oh, "Ease Your Pain" has already colonized my nervous system via the sets I've listened to in the car.

"Move your waistline to my bassline" sounds like there is finally a suitable Anglophone answer to all the "mueve tu cintura" in Latin music.

Sorry to be so all over this thread but Feeling High and Why one-two-punch killing me. Agh. </imago> That "please" is just so perfect. Raw ache.

Was the vocal choppiness in parts (you know which parts) of "1 Thing" drawing from UK garage, do you think, or was it arriving there from other directions. (It's not like a unique idea obviously, but still, I hear a particular simiarity there.)

Thanks. Ugh, my PC is so messed up (old and slightly virus-damaged operating system) that other download didn't work for me, but I'm going to try it when I'm alone at work tomorrow. (Better to do it at work in some ways, since I also can't burn CDRs on my own PC and that's the only way I have to play any of this in my car.)
I have to say I like practically everything I've gotten to hear so far. Not necessarily every single track in multi-track mixes, but the mixes overall, plus all these individual tracks among DJ Q's separately listed faves.

Haha, it's funny the things you can make up based on ignornace. I was thinking "Buggin'" was a new song that Q was giving some exposure to but then since I never heard it any other mixes or anything since I first heard it (on the 30 min. exclusive) I figured it had kind of flopped, that and the fact that I don't really like it.

YES.
The last few sets have saved my life.

Also corpsey I have now! Will listen...
Just to update needlessly: I haven't gotten to everything recommended, but I haven't lost interest. I've also found some close enough things, like some DJ EZ material on youtube. Plus I've decided to dive in to a bit of Chicago house. Realizing I'm really kind of crazy about Todd Edwards generally, though I still haven't listened to that much of what he's done.

Five tracks in and this is predictably great, Through The Night is probably the standout so far.

Yeah just hit Through the Night and this song really does have a je ne sais quoi to it.

1st impressions - great! but i kinda want a mixed version.
also just dawned on me i´d heard the discarda tune yonks ago and completely forgotten about it.

this is great so far but kinda sucks that he had to redo "Every Time" without the Amerie sample
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 01:13 (ten years ago) link
ooh, I like this dude rapping VERY EMPHATICALLY about his shorty

Willing spring to come by putting this album on repeat.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 03:34 (ten years ago) link
I didn't know that was an Amerie sample but I am pretty sure I know which one you're talking about, Reverend. I miss that vocal Arabesque here too.
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:27 (ten years ago) link
It's loading more slowly. What times is it in the UK? (I still haven't made it all the way through btw. Couldn't do it at work and at home I keep trying to pause it and ending up starting over.)
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:29 (ten years ago) link
I thought I reached some sort of crucial psychological/existential insight listening to "Through the Night" earlier but now I'm not sure. I'm not going to even embarrass myself by trying to explain it here. Quite personal actually (and not related to the lyrics particularly--except in some oblique nature-of-feeling-as-such sort of way). Maybe I was just music intoxicated as usual.

MCs. :(
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:55 (ten years ago) link
"be mine" is probably my second favourite after (obviously) "through the night" - he knows how to use cut-up vox for maximum emotional impact not just a throwback signifier...

Not really used to listening to Q outside the mix so a couple of the instrumental bangers feel a bit... unfinished to me, Two Faced especially. But the vocal tracks are all amazing.
The obvious exception being Lassie and even that's a good groove, but virtually any other MC in Britain would sound better over it than John Hartson Discarda.
― Matt DC, Friday, 4 April 2014 09:16 (nine years ago) link
I really have no idea who Discarda is but I like "Lassie" because of the weird cognitive dissonance between the aggro-ness of the rap and its subject matter.
― The Reverend, Monday, 7 April 2014 14:51 (nine years ago) link
that entertained me at first but it turned out to be more novelty than lasting (perhaps would've worked better as a stand-alone single rather than crashing this party)
― lex pretend, Monday, 7 April 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link
