Duke Dumont and A*M*E - Need U (100%) - Rolling UK dance pop interzone thread

shit, whats happened to mediafire, it used to be the best.

I'll try zippyshare then

it says ""Got Me" by Sinead Harnett may be available for download from Amazon."

wtf!?

look i'm sorry but it's just not good enough ben. if you had any respect for our sanctified rights you'd call us up individually and play it down the phone

i'm just sort of freaked out by how it's recommending sinead harnett to me.

How has only zippyshare managed to avoid the censors?

Anyway, the mix is up here.

SO GOOD

fuck yes

♡

not sure about that one... a touch rote

someone should really have insisted on whacking an 'intentions'-style garage drop into this

not sure about that one... a touch rote

lol

how you mean?

you are dangerously close to becoming the seen-it-all deej of these bubbling environs, r|t|c

lol

i'm just butthurt that you don't think that track is the ne plus ultra of something or other

Both of these are lovely!

The Riton really makes explicit how the Skream boogie maneuvers fit in within this broader divepool-house sound

(and which sound is a really good look for Ill Blu, esp. after their recent distressing excursions into tasteful seriousness)

cba to listen again now but iirc wasnt 'me x u (plastik cups)' at the end of ill blu's xlr8r set somewhat in this vein

Yes in the sense of being straight house with yearning vocals - still more in their prior metallic throb sonic mode though whereas this is a full blown embrace of current trends.

By recent distressing excursions into tasteful seriousness I mean that EP they put about six months ago

ah right yes that seems more likely. clearly i must have mentally tagged it with 'spoons'

Thats the best Ill Blu tune I've heard for ages. I predict Fuzzy Logik will crop up again in this thread before the year's out (fingers crossed).

Not pop-house, but Black Butter signing Scrufizzer is a good look. Is this track produced by Funkystepz?

I think this is pretty fucking cool to be honest.

It's really hard for me to see A*M*E and not think African Methodist Episcopal.

*feigns astonishment*

Benny B Mixcloud embedment excitement!

I'm "latching onto" UK dance pop.

This mix really drives the point home. I'm a believer. (Actually I don't think it has anything to do with "belief.")

Really, what the fuck is going on over there?

Or did it happen in my head?

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is only a hallucination.

hah, over 1000 listeners in the last 12 hours and...

Nah, it's over dudes. Check out this milquetoss on Black Butter:

Saturday in the dance field at Glastonbury, across two adjacent stages - AlunaGeorge -> Bashmore -> Mistajam -> Rudimental -> Disclosure -> Maceo Plex -> Hot Natured. It's like they read this thread while programming it.

p sure they can gauge the uniformly huge popularity of those artists by themselves bro, it's not like they're music journalists or anything

They have historically been terrible at filling those stages, it's usually a Fatboy Slim/Carl Cox back to back preceded by I dunno Talib Kweli or someone.

Lulu James's "Closer" is so good and I don't know how I miss it the first time around. It's not that subtle.

still can't get over the fact she's from South Shields.

This new one is quite excellent

now that's the stuff

ooh these lil scamps, i just dunno. i definitely like the way they make me not know though

like the trigger finger's trembling on ikea music but they're way too bright and careful to brusquely lump into that twee morass

i mean the video sure don't help. but then why should they pretend otherwise

This new one is quite excellent

Have to agree with that immediately.

I can't make my mind up about clean bandit either. I'm glad they're on the label though. LOVE Nightingale though.

err...slightly spammy and tangential to this thread, but this is a sort of follow up to the house pop mix (i.e., lots of black butter but the much harder and bassier stuff mixed with garage).

Not really feeling that Ill Blu but I'm putting that down to the vocals rather than the groove. It's still a good look for them, I keep forgetting that before all the storming beat-em-up soundtracks they could put out a tune like 'Say Yes'.

The Riton/Meleka tune is terrific though.
