really liked the first hour of this weeks show. freshened things up by putting together his current breezy spring vox jams with some organic loop / disco / filter / french house mild revival bits (starred below)

the detroit swindle rips clyde alexander 'gotta have your love' which is one of my all time fave disco cuts :)

heldens 'waiting' and pep & rash 'love the one ur with' are blending in this flex too, albeit in the zanier spinnin style

must find some more for the full q3 investor forecast

not in an aggy enuff mood to check benny's mix out yet, feelin guilty lol. looks tip top tho

did you guys see this?

As a man in my late 30s obviously Glastonbury is virtually the only proper dancing I get to do these days but right there in their dance field lineup is:

'Butterz Showcase - Elijah & Skilliam, Royal T, DJ Q & Swindle'

Like, I literally can't imagine doing anything more fun all year.

flava d mix - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03z60q7

t q d - kiss fm mix for june 2016 - https://soundcloud.com/tqdukg/kiss

what would u like to say about either of those trace

oh cheer up

not a comment on their quality but yrs :)

come on tho big man give me something i'm simply gasping for hot ilm chatz

http://kissfresh.kissfmuk.com/la2682464/dj-q-on-kiss-fresh/

new q this week is especially fun imo so either stream here or u kno▼▼ the dri↓↓

yes!

i saw target djing last week and like half of his set was drake but he dropped this at the end and made it all worthwhile:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoRq-bG_nhA

yeah only target seems to play that! idk why, anything beats the grim bass machine whines. this one's a godsend too

https://soundcloud.com/djqmusic/swindle-connecta-dj-q-remix

gospel joy vibes of his bb diamond 'praying' remix also totally crucial to the success of the whole first half of that set

hadn't tried very hard but was looking for that one^ thx

i've been looking for that swooping, murky, gurley/horsepowery future garage mix of zhane 'crush' he's been playing lately - 90 mins into this week's. any ideas hmu.

https://shaundeanmusic.bandcamp.com/track/shaun-dean-i-can-love-you

and on the related tip if u heard this earlier in the year i'm sure u concur that it is the bruckout sad gunman riddim par excellence

love that shaun dean unreservedly, one of my faves of the year.

the zhané flip is this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Kcnu_soPg

great! thanks!! ah i really neglect this new movement lot...

:) i think i got the mind of a dragon og from cartier on rinse or the brainz podcast, that's where i always hear stuff from those guys

i liked this one from earlier in the year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRO3V1Qf64

and this 'i keep' refix from cellardore:

https://soundcloud.com/cellardore/nng-i-keep-cellardore-refix

I only check in about once a month (usually listening to the first hour live while cooking as the good lord intended) but today I'm listening on headphones on my laptop like some kind of heathen but this one still starts off incredibly strongly. I like the detour into thousand-yard-stare emotech around 42mins as well - what is that one?

lovelee dae, bicep remix. yeah great selection, esp after "rolling day and night..."

(for a board of orbital pensioners i'm surprised their isaac tichauer remix hasnt been mentioned this year btw - https://youtu.be/zvtjdhaXWzg)

Yeah I don't really bother to engage much with Bicep - mostly because they tend to be surrounded (either in mixes or out in the real world) by the sort of blocky festival Brit-house that bores me shitless these days. Maybe time to change that.

Obviously context and framing is everything and that tune sounds so much more alive in a Q context than it would in the hands of some suns-out-guns-out twat.

Still loving the 60 minute mix he's got up on Soundcloud, starts to get properly stanked out around the midway point

new boiler room, from leeds:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=riwGMq6PShQ

ty 4 posting, i lost track after the kiss show dwindled to repeats

calvin and/or bassline yox should prob let him know the pre-recorded voiceovers need redoing now they changed the timeslot :)

DJ Q @djqmusic Jan 25
Wait.. Is bassline cool again now?

T2 ‏@t2bassline Jan 25
hahaha yeah it is i dont wanna hear no more garage or "bass" talkin anymore everyone has come home lol

Nicholas @nxsounds Jan 3
@t2bassline look what bassline has become now... just soulless bass heavy shite

T2 ‏@t2bassline Jan 3
lool hopefully i can help fix that pal

ahhhh haha i KNEW he was going to do something with the *boing* on re-rewind at 8mins on that boiler room

so good!

ty 4 posting, i lost track after the kiss show dwindled to repeats

yeah anyone know what happened with this?

there's also this one from the 02:31 rinse takeover:

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/djq210117

and there's a tqd album coming:

http://tqdukg.com/album/ukg

maybe just overcompensating for warring ilm neeks too much recently but i've flipped several tables during this br set

HNNGHH that passage at 24mins w/ 'carpainter', mj cole mix of 'rise and fall' (havent heard this in TIME) and 'got myself together'

BLAZING SQUAD V ELEPHANT MAN YESSSS (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

ahem anyway i would imagine it's p impossible to maintain 2hrs of interpretative solo inspiration every week in the current ukg climate (never mind what the listenership for the shows is, does anyone even notice they're repeats?)

esp as a working club dj whose freshness in the role doesnt particularly necessitate showcasing new shit

used to be you'd get an obvious re-up every six...? weeks or so on the kiss sets but not for a while now

(nb i say "current ukg climate" there like i really know the coo but it's more that i drifted elsewhere and trust the instinct)

I assume it's because he gets booked for club sets and can't be arsed with the radio show. But keeping up that level of density week-in-week out for more than a year is virtually impossible.

echo in here

yeah this rinse set is much more switched-on than the kiss shows have been... dbs what is "you make me blush" at 23mins svp? (guessing trc or such)

haven't found out yet but the vocal is sampled from this bassboy tune:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAoo-hZ2PYo

in that boiler room set does anyone know the tune around 30m which is a dmx rework/homage?

is it...? which dmx! 30m is the aforementioned https://youtu.be/Pax5RFDjz-8

well i thought it was a speeded upone more road to cross but maybe that's a stretch?

thx for the track ID tho!! :)

by jove ur right. awesome!

dbs that new bassboy tune can be found at 45m on this recent rinse set of his, which more importantly happens to be 100% A+++ MAXIMUM ABSURD FUN the lil fucking genius

https://soundcloud.com/rinsefm/bassboy280117

22-24m that sugar rainbow singalong that filthy mosh drop can't possibly be one tune... can it...!? j'adore

28m "feelin like a boy racer" irl lolling it's so outrageously good, like dee-lite and dj pantha did tropical 3??

suppose i might as well listen to these t2, trc, nastee boi, pantha, and notion sets too

next time someone gives me lip around here i'm just gonna post marcusnastygoodafternoon!.mp3 btw

'boy racer' is a new trc x screama that can be found on the following delightful ep https://open.spotify.com/album/0VasHSQdULaERrnA206slJ

idk if bassline rly is on the comeback trail but god did i miss all these ridiculously talented creative guys with their excellent sensibilities. only shift k3y can be said to be similar

hadnt even seen that burga boy went and did stuff like this for a bit https://youtu.be/JB3ZDuOLQ4o

on my 2nd time thru' this rinse takeover mix :) 25-27min is amazing, i swear "jamie redknapp" is mentioned somewhere and it still doesn't ruin it!

oh and harry kane???

yup https://youtu.be/QiFHmhXqlUw
