Thanks, I was going to ask about 2-step recommendations. I started listening to Sound of the Pirates and mostly like it so far. (I've gotten sidetracked by Arabic music at the moment, but will come back to all of this shortly.)

OK back to Zed Bias just in time for some "eastern" sounding vocals. I'm kind of bemused by how thoroughly I missed all of this. I really like this thread of dance music way way more than most of the mega genre.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 04:15 (ten years ago) link
This is great.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 04:19 (ten years ago) link
I don't know, "UK garage" and "2-step" just never sounded very inviting and didn't give anything away, to me, about what they sounded like (not that most genre labels really do I suppose).
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 04:21 (ten years ago) link
So many old threads discussing garage in the archive here! (Duh!)
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 04:34 (ten years ago) link
This "Gabriel" song. What the hell? (In a good way.)
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 04:40 (ten years ago) link
"Gabriel" is an established ILM dance kru fave!
― imago draggin' (The Reverend), Saturday, 15 February 2014 06:01 (ten years ago) link
also it's about an archangel
― imago draggin' (The Reverend), Saturday, 15 February 2014 06:02 (ten years ago) link
Peven Everett sang it and played trumpet too!
― imago draggin' (The Reverend), Saturday, 15 February 2014 06:04 (ten years ago) link
I bet there are millions of people who would like this song (and lots of other tracks here) if they heard it.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 06:14 (ten years ago) link
Kind of bizarre how separate U.S. and UK music manage to remain most of the time. I'm sure I could think up some good explanations and find even better ones (right here), but in the end it's kind of bizarre considering the lack of any significant language barrier.

steering the thread back to Q, rudipherous you might have missed these

I can't believe I'm already behind again just on the DJ Q links posted on this thread. (Finally getting to the Just For Fun mix.) Thanks all. Oh, "Ease Your Pain" has already colonized my nervous system via the sets I've listened to in the car.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 17:02 (ten years ago) link
"Move your waistline to my bassline" sounds like there is finally a suitable Anglophone answer to all the "mueve tu cintura" in Latin music.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 17:12 (ten years ago) link
Sorry to be so all over this thread but Feeling High and Why one-two-punch killing me. Agh. </imago> That "please" is just so perfect. Raw ache.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 17:36 (ten years ago) link
Was the vocal choppiness in parts (you know which parts) of "1 Thing" drawing from UK garage, do you think, or was it arriving there from other directions. (It's not like a unique idea obviously, but still, I hear a particular simiarity there.)

Thanks. Ugh, my PC is so messed up (old and slightly virus-damaged operating system) that other download didn't work for me, but I'm going to try it when I'm alone at work tomorrow. (Better to do it at work in some ways, since I also can't burn CDRs on my own PC and that's the only way I have to play any of this in my car.)
I have to say I like practically everything I've gotten to hear so far. Not necessarily every single track in multi-track mixes, but the mixes overall, plus all these individual tracks among DJ Q's separately listed faves.
― _Rudipherous_, Saturday, 15 February 2014 22:00 (ten years ago) link
That link worked for me, incidentally.

Haha, it's funny the things you can make up based on ignornace. I was thinking "Buggin'" was a new song that Q was giving some exposure to but then since I never heard it any other mixes or anything since I first heard it (on the 30 min. exclusive) I figured it had kind of flopped, that and the fact that I don't really like it.

ayo Tim F - did you get my message on twitter by any chance?

YES.
The last few sets have saved my life.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 21:35 (ten years ago) link
Also corpsey I have now! Will listen...
Just to update needlessly: I haven't gotten to everything recommended, but I haven't lost interest. I've also found some close enough things, like some DJ EZ material on youtube. Plus I've decided to dive in to a bit of Chicago house. Realizing I'm really kind of crazy about Todd Edwards generally, though I still haven't listened to that much of what he's done.

Five tracks in and this is predictably great, Through The Night is probably the standout so far.

Yeah just hit Through the Night and this song really does have a je ne sais quoi to it.
― _Rudipherous_, Monday, 24 March 2014 23:48 (ten years ago) link
1st impressions - great! but i kinda want a mixed version.
also just dawned on me i´d heard the discarda tune yonks ago and completely forgotten about it.

― Benny B, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 00:41 (ten years ago) link
this is great so far but kinda sucks that he had to redo "Every Time" without the Amerie sample
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 01:13 (ten years ago) link
ooh, I like this dude rapping VERY EMPHATICALLY about his shorty
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 01:34 (ten years ago) link
Willing spring to come by putting this album on repeat.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 25 March 2014 03:34 (ten years ago) link
I didn't know that was an Amerie sample but I am pretty sure I know which one you're talking about, Reverend. I miss that vocal Arabesque here too.
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:27 (ten years ago) link
It's loading more slowly. What times is it in the UK? (I still haven't made it all the way through btw. Couldn't do it at work and at home I keep trying to pause it and ending up starting over.)
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:29 (ten years ago) link
I thought I reached some sort of crucial psychological/existential insight listening to "Through the Night" earlier but now I'm not sure. I'm not going to even embarrass myself by trying to explain it here. Quite personal actually (and not related to the lyrics particularly--except in some oblique nature-of-feeling-as-such sort of way). Maybe I was just music intoxicated as usual.
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:35 (ten years ago) link
MCs. :(
― _Rudipherous_, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 05:55 (ten years ago) link
"be mine" is probably my second favourite after (obviously) "through the night" - he knows how to use cut-up vox for maximum emotional impact not just a throwback signifier...
