feeeling that falty dl album.
also, that emelkay track. people seem to be down on it for being another boring identikit wobbler but i think it goes beyond wobbledom just cos of those arching melodic joker like synths and female vocal sample. it feels a bit more sensual. not bludgeoning or itchy synth-riffy.

Damn this is good, Ben UFO back to back with Bok Bok.
Belongs on the Funky thread too really, but I'm trying to not annoy them.
Dub chords over Funky = Future. Scuba + Roska + Cooly G.

I don't know the other 3, but I wouldn't bother with Komodo.

Yeah i enjoy those b2b sessions. Bok Bok did a great show with Oneman last year too.

Big big fan of Ramadanman & Appleblim's "Justify". Reminds me of Hidden Agenda. So beautiful yet ominous.

much as i like hatchas shows as of late isnt it a bit sad/depressing that he *Seems* to be playing so much old material? not too into djs mixing it up too much between past and present personally as it confuses my sense of time (and love of new shit) but im guessing he isnt too into the various strands of modern dubstep?
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 16:29 (fourteen years ago) link
saying that though, just found the tracklisting for the oneman and hatcha set that im listening to and it seems back to back classics.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 17 November 2009 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I still like dubstep but only because I can shut everything out when I listen to it. I am tired of searching for all of this dubstep. It is for listening to in a dark room, and then you go and hunt down some new tracks and they have all this distracting crap on top of them. Like, it shouldn't sound weak and wishy-washy.

Oneman to mix Rinse 11! This can only be a good thing.
― sam500, Thursday, 19 November 2009 01:07 (fourteen years ago) link
I should listen to his Rinse show more but I can't get past the abominable sound quality of their podcasts.
― sam500, Thursday, 19 November 2009 01:26 (fourteen years ago) link
xxxp - I think a DJ like Oneman mixes up the old with the new very effectively. But it's not like he's exclusively playing dubstep. He comes into his own with his epic UK garage / dubstep blends. Haven't heard any Hatcha sets recently.
― sam500, Thursday, 19 November 2009 01:51 (fourteen years ago) link
onemans amazing. maybe the best dj on the roster, next to brackles. though its arguably easier when you have all diff eras and styles to mix from rather than just new stuff like marcus nasty or youngsta or whoever.

not sure about untold myself, even though i liked anaconda. heard some samples from his new doublepack and when it didnt just sound like older genres (house, eski), it just sounded a bit soft.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 19 November 2009 10:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I guess I should go and see Brackles play tomorrow then?

new dubstep allstars looks good btw, waiting for my copy to arrive, even though i read the effects on the 1st disc are a bit ropey.

new dubstep allstars cd is ok. i find ramadanmans cd really tepid and weak personally and half of it doesnt really have enough of a connection to dubstep for me to really think of it as much more than dubstep guys making techno. chefs cd is a bit more fun even if most of it isnt esp revelatory. think i will be ebaying my copy soon.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Monday, 23 November 2009 09:38 (fourteen years ago) link
benga and caspas show from a month or two back on rinse is actually pretty fun, plus they play some great unexpectedly different stuff thats experimental but isnt lightweight/tepid like so much of dubsteps experimental side.

i dunno what half this stuff has to do with dubstep tbh. much more on the funky/techno side of things. not that its bad, this track in particular at least has a bit of balls, but a lot of the dubstep techno stuff doesnt seem to have much dubstep in it.

I've only dipped my toes in the dubstep stream with criticaly vetted urban alienation things (Burial, Shackleton, Code 9), but fell in love with a track from this year that is a bit more on a Massive Attack/loved up vibe: Blue Daisy (featuring LaNote) - Space Ex. Who else should I be listening to on the hypnagogic lover's dub side?
― Derelict, Thursday, 17 December 2009 14:17 (fourteen years ago) link
i wish shackleton's three EP's was critically vetted

headphones really make it. "mountains of ashes" kills me when the bass come in.
"asha in the tabernacle" and "moon over joseph's burial" are incredible - great album
― lex pretend, Thursday, 17 December 2009 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
dont really like shackleton too much personally, apart from a few tracks. always found his older tracks really 'small' sounding for dubstep. keep meaning to persevere but cant be bothered.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 17 December 2009 17:35 (fourteen years ago) link
"always found his older tracks really 'small' sounding for dubstep"
Don't understand this criticism at all. But his stuff only seems to have the barest connection w/ dubstep to me (and frankly he's outstripped those early Digital Mystikz tracks by a pretty large margin at this point.)
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 17 December 2009 18:20 (fourteen years ago) link
sacrilege. DMZ>>>shackleton all day. DMZ's range is much wider than anything i heard on that skull disco album. but then i dont really care much for his stuff as yeah it doesnt sound very dubsteppy at all, and well, hes even said hes not dubstep and doesnt care to be lumped in with it either from day one.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 17 December 2009 18:28 (fourteen years ago) link
but the drums he uses/was using were really twee and thin and also quite 'kit' sounding which i wasnt too into.
Well the argument wasn't so much that Shackleton >>> DMZ as much as the Shackleton >>> the DMZ tracks like "Conference" or whatever. Range is overrated (also DMZ is three guys if you include Loefah so obv they are going to have more range. They've also released a lot of meh over the years.)
