Umm... On "Booty Slammer" by Velour, is the sample saying "Inside of Me" or "Sodomy"?

rite so im playing the night slugs comp
mosca - like this, it's colourful and ~classy~ and vaguely minatory
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Monday, 9 May 2011 23:52 (fifteen years ago)
lil silva - like the ardkore stylings, it's the sort of thing hacks would describe as 'dayglo' had the klaxons never existed
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Monday, 9 May 2011 23:54 (fifteen years ago)
girl unit (bok bok rmx) - oh no, dubstep
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Monday, 9 May 2011 23:55 (fifteen years ago)
kingdom - the part where the vocal gradually materializes through the distortion abt two minutes in is rather impressive, otherwise less so
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Monday, 9 May 2011 23:59 (fifteen years ago)
l-vis 1990 - synthy ardkore peaks nice, rest a bit thin for five minutes
― no xmas for jonchaies (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 00:05 (fifteen years ago)
jam city - clear standout, gazing with cold dead eyes upon the night slug lessers like a hungry kestrel on a telegraph pole

I really dig (Baby I Don't Know) What You Want by Jacques something.

Don't actually like that Jam City track much, though i do enjoy other stuff of his that i've heard

― oppet, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 00:38 (fifteen years ago)
aww <3
i guess the 'problem', such as it is, is that this could be a single artist album....lot of preset swapping, very murky

So did anyone catch Girl Unit on Rinse FM earlier today?
― Moodles, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 01:43 (fifteen years ago)
idk oppet, tho in a wider sense....
night slugs are probably at the level of bolton atm, impressive skills on a moderate budget
girl unit is CY lee, the fleetflooted showboat off to bigger things
egyptrixx is the johann elmander, pure unadulterated bigness of sound and spirit

Another Girl is totally totally ace. Will rep for Jacques Greene forever, though, as he spins with a bunch of my friends in MTL. His sets are basically ILM catnip. Nights Slugs type shit with chopped and screwed mixes of Ciara, Yamaha + assorted Terius, 'Motivation', Cassie's Skydiver, etc. etc. etc.
His remixes of Cassie's 'Must Be Love' and Katy B's 'Broken Record' are also keepers.
― Alex in Montreal, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 03:14 (fifteen years ago)
Egyptrixx's singles are pretty ace and his live show back in February or whatever was killer, but the full length album didn't blow me away.
― Alex in Montreal, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 03:17 (fifteen years ago)
I'm liking the Egyptrixx album so far, but I'm kind of taking it track by track.
― Moodles, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 03:20 (fifteen years ago)
oh shit is jacques greene from montreal i had no idea
― flopson, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 03:24 (fifteen years ago)
oh yeah the katy b remix is my other other jacques greene jam

alex are your friends dudes who (used to??) do the night trackin house night at that place in the old port whose name i cant recall always meant to go to one of those

one can only hope warrior (liverpool) and under armour (spurs) will make as noble a transatlantic fist of the english football shirt as girl unit and kingdom did

Jacques Greene is the best producer associated with Night Slugs at the moment I reckon (assuming Nzungunzu don't count, and Girl Unit is hit-and-miss). Seems to understand the importance of colour and having bass that does something other than throb and glower. A lot of other Night Slugs stuff talks a good game with its technicolour sci-fi landscape synths and the music seems drab in comparison.
Really didn't like the Egyptrixx album at all, have yet to hear any Jam City that's done much for me.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 10:46 (fifteen years ago)
Actually I really like Velour as well.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 10:47 (fifteen years ago)
you know velour = hyetal + julio bashmore, right? i hadn't particularly loved them pre-velour but separately they're kind of blowing my mind this year - hyetal's album is amazing, bashmore's "battle for middle you" was already one of my favourite tracks of the year and then he followed it up with the fantastic batty knee dance ep...

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 10:50 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, Bashmore rules. I think Mosca is great too but he needs to release more stuff.
― Number None, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 10:52 (fifteen years ago)
Julio Bashmore is really good as well.
