No but i have been clubbing there.

I could have said "clubbing at Crown Casino" instead, but that seemed specific to the point of ridiculousness.

Patiently waiting for Q to upload last weekend's show.

Tim F, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 12:42 (nine years ago) link

that will appear after this week's show does, if it wasnt totes obvious

'ghosts' remix is vg but in truth that's a monster that doesn't wanna be lassoed

on the subject i'm slightly surprised/impressed he doesn't play his oldskool mix of amerie ever cos it's a classic little belter:

shorterz alone loves it and canes it however which is v cosmically pleasing imo

also amazed that some of the new (iirc?) productions here are yet to turn up. esp 'everything'!!

r|t|c, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 15:15 (nine years ago) link

haha i just got to the ILX shoutout in ep 2!! SO GOOD!!

Cause & Affect – Get To The Chopper
Bassboy ft Clarity – Rainbow

these two basslines mashed together is the be-all and end-all of everything ever

that kiss fresh mix is pure filth. when ten walls' elephant comes in is obscene.

6/2 show up on Q's soundcloud now. Predictably it is amazing. Enjoying the use of "Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do (SCALES Remix)" this week...

there is a really unfortunate ed sheeran bit in the new one but otherwise so amazing

oh my god that oxide & neutrino/gala thing, gigantic and apparently new?!
love the weekly reminders that "don't call me baby" is one of the best songs ever

Flava D ft Miss Fire - Closer
DJ Haus & Matrixxman - Feel It
Luca Guerrieri - Harmony
Ill Phil & Lorenzo - Ripped Groove

this section!!! those elephantine chords paired with the twinkling synths. i lost track of which actual track this is. and then the segue into the bassliney one with the vocal stretched out like a car alarm

so excellent to hear stush's voice

"crocodile tears" into "everything i need", heart in mouth

"one night only" is as huge and glittery an anthem as "ghosts"

Is that the most recent Soundcloud post you're referring to?

where are the tracklists?

bae sremmurd (monotony), Thursday, 19 February 2015 12:14 (nine years ago) link

it's on that soundcloud page

ah i'm a dolt and didn't see the "show more" button

bae sremmurd (monotony), Thursday, 19 February 2015 12:22 (nine years ago) link

already talked about interzone x edm on like four other threads but i think this one will be most appropriate

spinnin (not proven but it's obviously them as the youtube takedowns are on their behalf) now have a new one coming out with a sample of what sounds to me like slick don the bassline mc!! lol what a world

https://soundcloud.com/mellowmusicgermany/illflavaz-natsuj-skanking-away-id-remix-preview

they are whipping up the shazam hype by giving it out to tong and mistajam and not telling who the producer is (which is exactly what they did for 'rumors'). tiesto and martin garrix are playing it

aw that will be nice if slick don sees some cash from this.

he was in the studio when that photo upthread was taken of q holding up the "ineffable" sign. he had missed the last train back to birmingham so decided to come in to q's show, drop some bars, and stay up til trains started running again :o

this is how we do it into milkshake out of milkshake

pandemic, Saturday, 28 February 2015 09:08 (nine years ago) link

and then into selecta 2015!

big juicy moves like that with the geelong handbag jamz with the new edm crossover all together go to show that friday night radio is the most perfect laboratory for q right now

like go back to the stuff i was wondering about a few months ago wrt how bridgeable the gap was between the crowdpleasing retro & fireworks ez-style live sets and the dense underground tunnelling mos sets and it's like you could not have orchestrated this situation any better to interrogate that

not to say that there are brand new elements being introduced or really a change in approach at all, it's just a subtle reformulation, ratios weighted appropriate to context.... would be pushing it (and is illogical anyway...) but you could almost make the case that this show is the essential bassline to essential garage before it? like that's the sensibility most at play setting it apart imo

Been sitting here playing FM, wondering whether to bother watching the Villa game, whilst also having a nagging thought at the back of my mind that I was forgetting to do something that I usually do on a Saturday afternoon...then saw this thread bumped

THX r|t|c !!!

pandemic, Saturday, 7 March 2015 12:49 (nine years ago) link

wait, what's the tune he plays after 'don't call me baby' that has "TAKE ME AWAAAY" in the chorus??

pandemic, Saturday, 7 March 2015 13:01 (nine years ago) link

that's the new one from the excellent dj skt, with whom you can't go wrong. v much an aesthetic soulmate of q's imo!

was always kinda surprised he never played this ruffer one in partic (to my knowledge anyway)

really nice to have the new wideboys tune ('move & groove') crop up too, they are definitely a huge evolutionary link in the friday nite geelong evolution

Redlight – Gold Teeth
Nastee Boi – Ragz

^omfg this bit

lex pretend, Monday, 9 March 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link

love the way all the refixes being credited to the new producer rather than the original artists means glorious surprises at every turn

lex pretend, Monday, 9 March 2015 18:15 (nine years ago) link

at this point i feel fairly confident he could do an entire two hours with the gold teeth acapella running over it

r|t|c, Monday, 9 March 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link

Why won't this flipping Kiss Fresh player work??!! Don't fail me now and leave me to suffer Michael Owen.

ha otm

the whip of stampede colliding with gunshots just prior to this (in the 20th show) was totally amazing too

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 14 March 2015 11:35 (nine years ago) link

Success!!

Shout out for Tim Finney and the Reverand!!!!

really wasn't expecting james blake

pandemic, Saturday, 14 March 2015 11:58 (nine years ago) link

Got to say I'm loving the higher concentration of handbag anthems in this (cf the continual reappearance of Madison Avenue) but he manages to do that without sacrificing boshier beat-em-up moments, often spinning from one to another.

I'm a couple of weeks behind and only just listening to the 27/02 set while playing Mario Kart and truly there is no higher state of man.

Matt DC, Saturday, 14 March 2015 12:03 (nine years ago) link

His use of Preditah's Selecta remains A+++ btw.

Matt DC, Saturday, 14 March 2015 12:22 (nine years ago) link

Just got a blast of unexpected Get Get Down and I can enthusiastically endorse this bit.

Matt DC, Saturday, 14 March 2015 12:32 (nine years ago) link

heh that bootleg is actually the only one where the producer (zed bias iirc) isnt credited though /pedant

yeah, also the strand of abstract/indie moodpieces he uses for builder/breathers

as pandemic mentions there's a really nice section in yday's one where he plays with them together, so

James Blake - Limit To Your Love bass remix
Four Tet - Back To The Start
Grey Worm - The Greatest (MK Dub)
Escape - Just Escape (Justin Martin Remix)

and then the todd remix of faylene brown, reprising the tropical 2 trick of using classicism as bucolic relief

r|t|c, Saturday, 14 March 2015 14:39 (nine years ago) link

Speaking of Todd can we talk about how his dub mix of Etienne De Crecy's "You" will maybe be tune of the year once it is released?

Tim F, Sunday, 15 March 2015 08:14 (nine years ago) link

And then we can talk about the other Todd and his remix of Hercules & Love Affair.

DJ Q keeping me up with all my favourites Todds.

Tim F, Sunday, 15 March 2015 08:14 (nine years ago) link

Srsly though when it's on I can't think of a better variant of music than Q's current brand of handlebar hooligan handbag house.

Tim F, Sunday, 22 March 2015 20:50 (nine years ago) link

three weeks pass...

the 6th Feb mix has gone into regular rotation here, looking forward to catching up on these

boxedjoy, Monday, 13 April 2015 22:52 (nine years ago) link

Finally heard Q's shout out to Rev and I on the 13 March show - proudest moment of my life.

Tim F, Friday, 17 April 2015 20:51 (eight years ago) link

shift k3y and the track that followed it "on the dancefloor sk sk skanking away" were sweet.

Debut record from Royal-T, DJ Q and Flava D

Matt DC, Wednesday, 22 April 2015 22:26 (eight years ago) link

the flava d album is pretty good in a "garage refixes of r&b hits" way - her beats are great but she leans a bit too heavily on the samples maybe, but it all comes out as very enjoyable anyway

lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 April 2015 07:12 (eight years ago) link

flava d album???
