WUT WUT WUT WUT~~~

People I know were comparing it to Disco Inferno which just made the disappointment more acute, feels like he's just gone from one pole of lameness to another.

also a murkified beachy thing happening too.

yeah made me think of strategy

xp how rockist of you, matt dc

I can hear the DI thing actually, slight shades of 'The Last Dance' with that guitar.

I can totally see the sadsack laptop dudes thing but even despite that I still think this is really great. The two things it really reminds me of are last year's Dean Blunt and Maria Minerva albums (which were my two favourites of 2014). NickB's description is spot-on.

the lyrics give this an emotional heft beyond the usual sadsack laptop dude thing

i have never heard of disco inferno tho

wtf are you even a real ilx poster

jokes - but that's just too good.

not that i expect you to like disco inferno!

there are loads of 80s indieish bands i've always seen old-skool ilx reference (scritti politti, blue nile too). never heard any of them apart from one scritti politti song

The Blue Nile aren't indieish.

Disco Inferno are indieish though and you will probably hate those aspects of them.

This shit (Jam City) sounds good on random soundcloud listen but I'd need to sit with it a lot more to know for certain (and who sits these days).

Here is classic DI if you want to test that proposition though:

This sounds like something you'd play at an indie ren faire I'm into it

lex doesn't know "cupid & psyche 85" WTF

how is that surprising

this is not night slugs but i couldn't figure out where else to put it up

searching "jai paul" in posts gives some funny results. point/counterpoint starring lex & rev.

this is very prince-y.

yes

lol I hate Jai Paul, I was just trolling lex

what's there to hate?

everything pretty much

He must be friends with virtually everyone in the media and the music industry. It's the only reason to think of for such continuing interest and anticipation around a dude with such a shoddy and minimal output. It's, what, five years since he was first hyped and you still read "Jai Paul might finally release his debut album this year!" articles on sites that should know better.

By this point they might as well be repping for Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong.

Oh wait, this is his brother. Might give this a listen on the offchance he's the talented one in the family.

sick burns everyone *golf clap*

new comp sounding pretty okay

new jam city album

It's more like current AG Cook than his old stuff and found it mostly pretty annoying as a result.

Is Night Slugs defunct?

also new Jam City (on Earthly / Mad Decent tho) https://ra.co/news/78713

the track I've heard from the new Jam City album is purposely I think kind of corny but it still sounds really good to me

I think Night Slugs is just swinging back into gear for their 15th anniversary. Not sure if they're gonna do new releases or just parties and reissues.

Voila, new Night Slugs

lol/sick/you're welcome

new Jam City is in my top 20 albums of the year for sure— ridiculously good

i’ve been getting back into night slugs, they had a lot of good records!

i recently got a copy of “the courts” 12” single w/ the main attraktionz + jam city feature on the other side, and that song sounds, if anything, even better now

i’m still more into the nswl white labels and club constructions in general but here’s my current pox

ns009 jam city “magic drops”
ns010 bok bok “southside”
ns017 girl unit “hysterics” (credited as hysterics)
nscc001 l-vis 1990 “club constructions vol. 1”
nscc003 kw griff “bring in the katz”
nscc006 jam city “club constructions vol. 6”
nswl004 jam city refixes (let me bang, endgames)
nswl007 pearson sound edits (deep inside, rod lee)
nswl010 helix + flirta d “no hook no bs”
nswl011 jam city “the courts / the nite life”

i mean “the courts” sounds better. probably helps that there’s a lot more “experimental club” compatible techno out there (on labels like timedance, livity, hessle, etc) … the cloud rap track sounds worse, still good but i can understand why it didn’t really get released

one that passed under my radar but i thought was interesting is “p jam” from the white label series, sorta jungle and sorta grime remixes of nightwriters “let the music you” … the grime version is unsurprisingly a lot more credible

but wtf jam city for finally releasing “final joust” free on twitter as a wav but not pressing any copies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR2lKUvN_BI

"Ecstacy Refix" >>>>>

yeah that’s the endgames one. i have to say i was probably more impressed w/ the original (when i finally looked it up) but he did a good job with it

apparently it’s called the “centurion mix” in some places and the “1983 12” mix” in others
