It's a cruel cruel summer: the sounds of deep tech / shuffle / cuttin shapes / upgrunt house / etc. etc. in 2014

no idea if this has become a genuine anthem on the scene, but if not it should. i quite like ´shifters´ as name for the massive, shame they just used it in the title and not the lyrics. on cooly g´s label

https://soundcloud.com/jay_baptiste/jay-baptiste-feat-troy-hudson

ahh yeah i forgot about that!! the mc saying "out to all my shapeshifters" was easily the highlight of this one set i heard and since forgot (think i must have deleted the memory on a self-regulatory pvmic tip)

https://soundcloud.com/djtruce/truce-b2b-ggb-frost-desy-b-live-at-tainted-soul-supa-d-bday

may have been this one idk? got it off dissensus

iirc i was rrrreasonably into it until what happens at 48:30 where ye olde enthusiasm distinguishes itself from polite modern engagement

yeah thats the one! i remember this cos its probably the only set that features live bongos i´ve ever enjoyed =8-0

what is that old skool funky tune that drops at 48:30? sounds very familiar but can´t quite place it.

AHHHHH it's killing me. Very Perempae / Malice-D when it's all piano chords but when that squiggly synth riff comes in... I dunno maybe Seany B?

this mix. yes.

that jay baptiste single is incredible

https://soundcloud.com/nrky/nrky-feel-so

k i do realise how willfully perverse it is to be pointing out the liminal s&m streetsoul hobbyhorse mirage margins when we never discuss the actually actual stuff but OMG CHECK OUT THIS ULTRA FRESH NXT LEVEL VIBE THOUGH

like - as if the sinuous loping superslowmo push/pull tender/tuff groove wasn't treat enough on its tod - he could have got any and every kind of modern style popular mc knocking about to bless that but drawing for the local itch fm battle rapper on a 1990 skippy flow instead is just the maximum possible zeitgeist juxtpositional headrush

fuck everything else rn cos this is it!!

OMG this is amazing.

The rap!

Can we never stop overprivileging liminal s&m streetsoul vibes.

moombahzone!!

i haven't a clue what you guys are on about but i kind of can't wait to hear what ever the fuck this is.

This entire EP, wow:

https://soundcloud.com/rs4house/sets/paper-plates-002

"Depends On Me" sounds like prime LFO circa "What Is House".

yes great ep, i see DJ Qs been playing ´no one else´ off there, works nicely sped up a bit still.

just been listening to this set, definitely doing the business

enjoying this a lot rn

This Hugo Massien track Kontrol is something else. Stutter-vision FX.

Grabbed this free dl tune recently and it struck me as being potentially ILX-crew-friendly:

https://soundcloud.com/majestydj001/majesty-feat-anton-romero-touch-radio-edit

(With the usual 'but I could be wrong' disclaimers. I like it a lot anyway).

Catching up on bits & pieces posted above -

Jay Baptiste/Troy Hudson - Real Shifters : wasn't feeling this at first but it's grown on me.
NRYKY - Feel So: like this one a lot! Completely different to what I was expecting too.
RS4 - Lowered Tone EP: Solid EP right through. Can't make up my mind if No One Else or Depends On Me is my favorite.
Hugo Massien - Kontrol: Ahh so that's what it's called. Yeah this is big.

Will give the Archie B & Supa D mixes a spin in a bit.

Yeah, Massien's got some tunes. This one is a bit deranged - https://soundcloud.com/hugomassien/hugo-massien-better-let-her

MDMA anyone?

OK got the Supa D Knee Deep promo mix on now and it's pretty good - loads of bits I hadn't heard before.

Would really love to hear some of this stuff out at a club.

Whereabouts do you stay MM? There's loads of nights playing this stuff in London atm, sadly not so much elsewhere though.

Amsterdam, although I will be passing through London later this month. I should see if there's any deep tech parties.

Not to turn this thread into the Majesty fan-club, but this set by him is one that I've found myself playing again & again over the last month or so:

Thank you!

has anyone heard that low-key kinda one that samples nicki minaj going "grand in the rubberband hot damn make me scream like summer jam" etc round and round

it floated out of my memory to belatedly earworm me today and i should like to find/id it

i know radford played it on one of his shows but i cant locate it

Yeah, was wondering about that track as well. Tried for a while to figure out who produced it, but no luck. It has this low in the mix echo of vocals shifting in and out it that's crazy psychedelic.

Syap - Your Hate

paris to london connection

was due to come out on Audio Rehab

nice 1, much obliged

i kinda get the impression radford has too many bits stocked up, even with two labels on the go

If the times were a bit different, I feel like Shiba San's 'OKAY' might have had the unifying crossover appeal of maybe a '138 Trek'.

Yeah it makes me think of "Doom's Night" but same thing.

How so?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21nXc71abno

lol the producer was proper feeling himself the day this was made

amazing tune

How so?

Despite drawing together a bunch of threads in UK house - from interzone pop, jackin' bass and deep tech - I imagine it'd also crossover into post-minimal sounds and just party/festival sets in general.

Also, like the Timo Maas remix (I guess), it's inspired, but with zero pretension.

That said, it's got tons of YouTube views and has topped Beatport, so I imagine it's getting played out a fair bit. Still, I've never actually heard it at a party or club yet.

Babylon System!

ikr

a 10 minute ascent to high camp dubstep gothique heaven

LOVE THIS. IT KILLS ME SO MUCH.

ALSO GLADIATOR.

I feel like this stripe of deep tech is kinda very very belatedly turning early Faithless into a totally brilliant proposition?!?!

B-side to "Babylon System" ("One Spliff") is pretty amazing too. Total widescreen reggae eeriness.

I KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE GLADIATOR.

heh i was in the process of awarding myself a coconut for invoking robert del naja way back when but perhaps faithless works better still

maybe split the difference with this imo salient addendum, remixing the massive attack of today

https://soundcloud.com/beepdee/hot-natured-feat-the-egyptian

rs4 'all around' maybe too now i think about it. and truce 'take control' may as well be the most important brit record for a decade. can i crowbar route 94 'misunderstood' into this as well?!?

btw i know it's been floating around for ages but beep dee 'from above' deserves some talk, it is just something else srsly

The mean of Robert Del Naja and Faithless is The Aloof, right? Which maybe works even better still. Though I'd need to relisten to the first album again to make sure.

RS4's last two EPs plus "Gladiator" makes for a pretty great unofficial debut album btw.

@MikoMcha dunno where your clubbing or raving but that shiba san tune has been getting rinsed all year

banger but one of the baitest house tunes about so it's kinda cringe seeing you trying to hype it up #justsaying

fuckinell that "babylon system" tune

tim you're gonna have to hand-hold a bit here, is this actually widely considered a separate genre or just by you for purposes of this thread? still unsure what makes it different from the interzone or house threads but all i know is it regularly provides some incredible tunes (some of which never did seem to get released?? like the one at the start??). nu-faithless seems weirdly on the mark tho.

i read the thread and i didn't understand the rtc post you pasted to illuminate us last time

xxp lol the whole point of what miko was saying was about the way in which it's an unusually everywhere crossover so how is that hyping up a bait tune? good luck trying to look bad on the internet u plum

not like he's going "hey guys have u heard this song 'mind ur step' it seems popular"
