the ineffable genius of DJ Q

*breakbeat thing

yeah def ... never liked mista men at all, and altho i've heard q make good use of randomer stuff before i'd never have touched anything on l.i.e.s with a bargepole (good sublol at what sounds like the "white sickness, white sickness" vox sample in gt turbo)

the fact q can pull off these moves while keeping them in close loyalist vicinity to todd edwards bits most sets is obv another example of what makes him so singular

on the subj of breakbeats i still wanna hear someone play this!

in-depth interview here. it focusses more on his productions so nothing on the mos shows. still, pretty good
http://thequietus.com/articles/16148-dj-q-interview

ya good stuff. i am also a big advocate of keeping many plates spinning of course

author was on some weird tenuous shit bringing a lineage to butterz into it... i guess there is an arguable consonance but it is light years more abstract than he can make out

tenuous and overstated maybe, but i can see why he mentioned them i suppose.

this interview set me off listening to old (early 00s) sidewinder sets on yt, still my favourite era of garage I think and obviously the closest reference to Qs approach.

where can i hear this FIAT tune he mentions then?

Benny i sent your mix to Q and he sez:

i'm 12 mins and 47 seconds in and this mix is sick!

:D

he also says the track "fiat" mentioned in the article was a transcription mistake, track is actually "fear"

so chuffed, cheers tracer!

guys, the ministry show is no longer :(

what?!!!

is there not even gonna be a september show then?

please tell me he´s already got something else lined up

it seems MoS is going in a "different direction" which may or may not involve attempting to more directly flog their comps, via their radio station

after this and the randomer tune i kinda just wanna hear whole q set of stalker techno now

https://soundcloud.com/footworkmk/dj-q-mc-kie-live-footwork-and

he has a lot of nu-ez fun in the mix here. and when i say a lot i mean i had to listen to it in stages due to exhaustion

...

wait a sec

is this the only thread on ilx that's working

YES MODS

This and THOSE FUCKING ENGLAND FLAGS

Ah, hello people.

Yes, it's all gone strange. At least this thread works.

I even tried to log out (to log back in again)

It wouldn't let me.

The only threads that work are the ones you can see on "Blog View"

curious to know dj q's position on england flags

I moved a thread from ILE to ILM. Sometimes moving threads can gunk up the system. Hang in there for a few minutes and hopefully things will start to work again on their own. Apologies.

Quick, stick a load of Q mixes in the shop window for all the day-trippers.

I don't think this is the result of a thread move btw.

It's happened to me before. If not, the timing is extraordinary.

the useless moderator how's life creating solutions

lol
