the ineffable genius of DJ Q

any excuse to post this

hahaha that's not what I envisioned him looking like at all

am really loving this album.

new track "madness" leads off this B2B with dj target:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01wx4xf

it seems like an album from another time

terrrrrrible RA review whinging about pop. why haven't these opinions been fully killed off?

There will be a large contingent of fans that will hear Ineffable and immediately accuse DJ Q of selling out,

lol wut

*pulls badman face at pop haters*

that review was so lazy and laughably bad.

it's especially weird applying anti-pop arguments to dj q who in my world of uk dance pop is kingmaker. but then again the local action guy is trying it in that interview posted upthread so who the fuck knows.

lol I'll be grateful to tom forever for giving Q a label platform but he's not very high on the list of people I'd go to for an opinion on UK pop-house.

all dance music is functional, but it's hard to imagine anything more so than this specific blend of swung 4/4 beats and garagey bass wobbles

from a tech-house website, no less!

Should we start a proper 2014 interzone thread? There's a lot of tunes I want to talk about individually.

Alternatively i could start a "the ineffable genius of PVC" thread.

damn that link to the kiss FM set has changed now.

usual rig is borked so this is the best i could eke from its borrowed replacement, couple of nicks n skips in there but serviceable

(trace did u put that tracklist together off his twitter btw? hi 5!!)

you guys :)

was just about to come here complaining about that dodgy link. the tl looks awesome, already love that Nineteen 96 and shadow child´s robbers remix. dying to hear his shift k3y/teedra mashup.

don´t suppose any of you caught that limited free dl of this? I missed it

The DJ Q Show is coming! All will be revealed soon! #DJQshow

can santa's little helper shed any more light on this?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hard to top the original with that one.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p020qz5w

10. Shift K3y vs Teedra Moses - Just Wanna Touch (DJ Q Mash Up)

this is actually the best thing ever made??

Also that section of the Nokturnal set that goes from the 2-step bootleg of "Jack" into the remix of "Baby" into menacing vibez is just O_O

Uh... I'm confused about the thread title/album title thing. is this a coincidence or has 'ineffable' always been a Tropical / DJ Q catchword?

We inspired the album title!

Okay... wow! Go ILM! XD

Hope Tim's at the Melbourne show tonight!

I WILL BE

OMG BEST SHOW EVER

tell!

It was like a greatest hits but with just insane hyper mixing, endlessly splicing tunes and creating awesome miniature bootlegs: "Do You Really Like It" over Paul Johnson's "Get Down", Dizzee's "Stand Up Tall" over "Rip Groove", etc.

And so many awesome 2-step and jackin' tunes. Probably the only tune he let play out in full (because he needed to go the toilet I think) was Lorenzo, Ko Kane and Zanetti's "Darlin", which sounded totally amazing (as did "Smoke Machine", "Kneadin", "Testosterone Deficiency"...).

ahhhhhhh

when I saw him in Brixton for his Boiler Room set it sounds like it was similar, MUCH faster mixing than he does on the radio, lots of rewinds, etc.

how was the crowd, Tim?
