the ineffable genius of DJ Q

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?

this https://soundcloud.com/djqmusic/dj-q-kiss-fresh-6215-kissfresh

where are the tracklists?

it's on that soundcloud page

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

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

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

#CREEPLYFE

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 !!!

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

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!

https://soundcloud.com/djskt

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

https://soundcloud.com/djskt/dj-s-k-t-midnight-circus-audio

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

fashion week and it's SHUT DOWN!

also thanks for the info, will explore :)

Redlight – Gold Teeth
Nastee Boi – Ragz

^omfg this bit

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

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

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

Success!!

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

really wasn't expecting james blake

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

catch up time 4 u mans :)

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

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

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

thatll be this

turns out it's not slick don on here as i wondered upthread but a local leeds mc called domzi boy plucked from deep obscurity by a dutchman

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

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

flava d album???

nice!

Apologies in advance that my contribution to this thread is generally me asking who does such and such and rtc answering.

But who does the "pretty green eyes" track or remix that he's played the last couple of weeks?

https://soundcloud.com/ones-to-watch-records/scales-green-eyes-feat-zack-knight

only apology necessary is for not requesting 10 more ids every week fyi

Thanks once again!

hard to pick moments out from the consistent orgiastic abundance (bit frustrating too not to be able to chinwag about it in weekly realtime) but i am particularly waiting for 17/4 to arrive so i can publicly induct it into the official ineffable canon

the endless ongoing source of reward with these is how incoming new points in the q constellation provoke subtle recalibration and counterbalance, their gravities sucking in the known stars around them closer, rippling their vibes out thru the rest of the set, all of it happening on the thrilling fly

so first hour of 17/4 introductory feeler grooves (quite perfect in retrospect of course) find focus in the piano vamp of the new t williams/mj cole collabo 'privilege', and when that is then beautifully paired with the toyboy & robin mix of gotsome & wiley 'vibe out' (typical sinuous technoid balearic from THA GODS) it slowly and surely forms into a mighty tsunami of bonhomic housey freakadelic vivacity like so

T Williams & MJ Cole - Privilege
Gotsome ft Wiley - Vibe Out (Toyboy & Robin Remix)
CamelPhat ft A*M*E - Paradigm (Amtrac's Temptation Mix)*
Tough Love & Roger Sanchez ft Nastaly - In The Name Of Love
Ryan Blyth & After 6 Ft Luther Soul - Special
Caroline Koch - Timeless (Tchami Remix)
Slave - Heads
Croatia Squad - Touch Me (Return Of The Jaded Remix)
Scales ft Zack Knight - Green Eyes

(*how fucking especially good is this!! put those old records away and remember why i keep u on retainer tim!! SALVATION IN LOVE! https://soundcloud.com/axtonemusic/camelphat-ft-ame-paradigm-amtracs-temptation-mix)

u may already have noticed similar but totally different science in extant set soundclouds where the returning raw bleep bromance with dj haus opens a portal to let in sly creatures of the nite like alex arnout, flashmob, even cajmere 'lets dance' melded into lorenzo
