the ineffable genius of DJ Q

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.

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

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?

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

in fact that first hour of 17/4 is so irresistible that it seems to make the second unrelatedly vibed ruffer hour that much more viciously sharp and on point - there's this one great memorable bit where he actually just fully takes down this new heartfelt singalong anthem i havent been able to id yet ("don't close your eyes... we've still got a little way to go... keep it alive... hold a little tighter don't let it go") mid-chorus to drolly drop "this is how it went down in the 95" (nyta, u know the one) before exploding them back together in sync

anyway erm have fun when u hear it eh!

no mention for this monster sensation in weeks upon weeks is how i know ur all faking it btw

lol but yes this is amazing, though I expect I'll like it even more in the midst of the maelstrom you describe.

Even though the Tchami tune is just a (superior) sequel to "Promesses", something about the compressed shivery stutter of the riff feels deliberately designed for DJ Q in a post-"Ghosts" sense. Like you could imagine Tchami composing the riff and calling Q from France and Q would be all "yasssss bitch I have an opening for this in exactly fifteen minutes send it over now."

lol yess

i'm several weeks behind on q sets but the last little few individual tracks have turned my head inside out

SALVATION IN LOVE!
SALVATION IN LOVE!
SALVATION IN LOVE!

also that riff in "after life" that sounds like building blocks tumbling down

the xylophones in the day mix of "day & night"

loving this so much recently, crying shame there's no digital release. to confine something as joyous as this to vinyl-only

chipmunk led version of 'no scrubs'????

ah the moment when the 'C.R.E.A.M' piano starts to appear.

oh wow this 'man on fire' track :)

some A+ squelch noises on this 1thing remix opener.

wait are you saying there is a amerie x dj q remix?

the 1thing mix pands refers to is by all about she but there have been several q x amerie bits over the years (whether full remix or samplings), pretty sure if u ctrl-f itt they'll all have been mentioned

heads up for uk listeners that if you have the kissplayer bookmarked u might be ending up at a working page without the tracklist that appears some weeks so it's always best to start off at the home page (only found this out recently myself grr) (not last weeks btw, couldnt help with pandemic's track reqs sadly)

for instance
http://kissfresh.kissfmuk.com/la154990/dj-q-on-kiss-fresh/
http://kissfresh.kissfmuk.com/la638057/dj-q-on-kiss-fresh/ <<- tlisted

good tip, just rebooted for my 2nd go thru and lo and behold there the tracklist is where once there was none.

oh duh it wasnt all about she btw it was of course the squelchmaster general himself pvc of PVC // Purple Velvet Curtains acclaim

https://soundcloud.com/latropical/sets/pvc-artist-spotlight

since i'm at it i may as well mention this soundcloud ep he done from a couple months back is 100% extraordinary @_@/;_;/~_~/*_* mindblowing vibes to make the place levitate

man, its killing me i cant listen to these sets. is Q really gonna upload every kiss set on soundcloud?

i'm having to go to factmag for fresh Q sets ffs!

could one of you fellows paste the tracklist for this weeks show 19/06 please? got the stream but wont display the tl. its been nice kicking back and listening without gawping at a tl on the laptop screen but curiosity has got the better of me now. ta :)

the pony remix is so good

The tracklist was missing from my listen to the show last week as well :( Pity cos it was a great show. Tracklist back this week at least, currently sound racking my Copa America catch up. Turns out the chipmunk no scrubs I mentioned the other week is by Shift K3y!. The 'Fire Man' track is by Moony but I'm having no luck finding it online at all.

*soundtracking*

[that quote is from rtc upthread btw]

also, for me this week's show:

http://kissfresh.kissfmuk.com/la816376/

seems to repeat the first hour twice - does anyone else have this problem?
