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

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?

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
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 28 June 2014 19:44 (ten years ago) link
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?

Tracer I remember when he filmed that bit but I was a bit further back at that point.
Crowd was really packed and really into it. I think the only tune I remember stopping the dancefloor dead (except me) was US Alliance's "All I Know (Da Grunge Dub)" - I don't think anyone there had heard anything like it...

We need to talk about this Taiki & Nulight live DJ set from February:
https://soundcloud.com/partylikeusrecords/taiki-nulight-night-bass-sound?in=taiki-nulight-uk/sets/mixed
So So So So So Good.
I know that the selections largely overlap with DJ Q but there's something about the way T&N deploys them that feels slightly different. Maybe it's slightly slower? There's a chunky, spiky deliberateness to it all. I'd almost call him the Sami Koivikko of interzone.
Also "It Ain't Even About The Dough" is one of the tunes of the year.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 23:05 (ten years ago) link
Not heard much DJ Q other than on the Tropical mixes, but this is a lovely little record. Big LOL at the shouty blokey song though. Massive derail, but somehow it's kind of endearing.
