Should we start a proper 2014 interzone thread? There's a lot of tunes I want to talk about individually.

Alternatively i could start a "the ineffable genius of PVC" thread.

damn that link to the kiss FM set has changed now.

(trace did u put that tracklist together off his twitter btw? hi 5!!)

was just about to come here complaining about that dodgy link. the tl looks awesome, already love that Nineteen 96 and shadow child´s robbers remix. dying to hear his shift k3y/teedra mashup.

The DJ Q Show is coming! All will be revealed soon! #DJQshow

can santa's little helper shed any more light on this?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://soundcloud.com/djqmusic/tinashe-2-on-dj-q-remix

Hard to top the original with that one.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p020qz5w

10. Shift K3y vs Teedra Moses - Just Wanna Touch (DJ Q Mash Up)

this is actually the best thing ever made??

Also that section of the Nokturnal set that goes from the 2-step bootleg of "Jack" into the remix of "Baby" into menacing vibez is just O_O

Uh... I'm confused about the thread title/album title thing. is this a coincidence or has 'ineffable' always been a Tropical / DJ Q catchword?

We inspired the album title!

Okay... wow! Go ILM! XD

Hope Tim's at the Melbourne show tonight!

I WILL BE

OMG BEST SHOW EVER

tell!

It was like a greatest hits but with just insane hyper mixing, endlessly splicing tunes and creating awesome miniature bootlegs: "Do You Really Like It" over Paul Johnson's "Get Down", Dizzee's "Stand Up Tall" over "Rip Groove", etc.

And so many awesome 2-step and jackin' tunes. Probably the only tune he let play out in full (because he needed to go the toilet I think) was Lorenzo, Ko Kane and Zanetti's "Darlin", which sounded totally amazing (as did "Smoke Machine", "Kneadin", "Testosterone Deficiency"...).

ahhhhhhh

when I saw him in Brixton for his Boiler Room set it sounds like it was similar, MUCH faster mixing than he does on the radio, lots of rewinds, etc.

how was the crowd, Tim?

are you in this?

sounds dope

Tracer I remember when he filmed that bit but I was a bit further back at that point.

Crowd was really packed and really into it. I think the only tune I remember stopping the dancefloor dead (except me) was US Alliance's "All I Know (Da Grunge Dub)" - I don't think anyone there had heard anything like it...

We need to talk about this Taiki & Nulight live DJ set from February:

https://soundcloud.com/partylikeusrecords/taiki-nulight-night-bass-sound?in=taiki-nulight-uk/sets/mixed

So So So So So Good.

I know that the selections largely overlap with DJ Q but there's something about the way T&N deploys them that feels slightly different. Maybe it's slightly slower? There's a chunky, spiky deliberateness to it all. I'd almost call him the Sami Koivikko of interzone.

Also "It Ain't Even About The Dough" is one of the tunes of the year.

Not heard much DJ Q other than on the Tropical mixes, but this is a lovely little record. Big LOL at the shouty blokey song though. Massive derail, but somehow it's kind of endearing.

You should check his DJ sets dog Latin!

yeah i definitely will although i don't get much time to check online mixes that often. what's the best one to get started on?

'Trust Again' is the most immediate tune for me (that'll probably all change on further listens). I love how sparse and unfussy some of the production is - that little violin line that comes in during the song as though it's played with one hand on a cheap Casio, for example. I think in anyone else's hands, they'd be tempted to embellish it with a harmony or at least some sort of effect, but the fact it's so plain sounding doesn't detract at all from the track, in fact it helps it.

for a taste of what a Q "live set" is like, as opposed to a mix for radio:
