yeah these glimpses into the secret lineage of the bigtunesmp3 nuum (if u like) (and by extension the bassline scene) are really fascinating
iirc other jackin scene characters (perhaps not the big hitters) have done similar soundcloud mixes albeit never tracklisted... some are like rave or piano organ house classics etc
on the 0231 shows shorterz has a couple times made intriguing reference to a birmingham scene or vibe where speed garage ruled presumably a lot longer or laid ruffer roots than it did elsewhere
tbh besides like idk madchester and bristol (and the odd fleeting derisory lol at donk or scouse house or w/e) how many of these localised histories beyond london ever see the light of recorded day - not to mention the extent to which london takes historical credit for groundswells elsewhere

i mean i guess "secret lineage" is exactly wrong tho - more like just the process of things being so popular they become forgotten and vice versa

that is a very nicely written press release. i feel i should point that out. thumbs up to that person.
like it sez, the ep totally is a great microcosm of the shows - they haven't tended to announce these tracks so it was a pleasant surprise to discover all these familiar bits were in fact c&a, especially as they'd been on a run of grimy bass devastators in remixing other people. ('dimensions' in partic is exactly like some great unassuming lil groover shorterz might have found on local talk or w/e) (thread of shorterz jams would be something i'd be happy to talk to myself in actually)
lorenzo's aptitude for hazy summer vibes lately is perhaps a bit underappreciated - the c&a mix of zinc 'show me', 'i wanna be'...
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 17 September 2014 10:03 (nine years ago) link
Mistakes is all-time, obv. Great to have this official version.
Not sure I've heard the other ones before tho. Bird Flu sounds like it could belong on a Perlon release or something.
Somewhat perversely, I'd totally get this on vinyl if Rinse pressed it up. I'm increasingly reverting to some old school ways :)

i probably never mentioned it from chagrin for having eyerolled at tracer lumping them in with the duke dumont thread so many times :P
presuming hw&cl had nothing to do with its making it's a p delightful intuitive happenstance that that video should use all that retro tv footage and stuff, summoning as it does all the old creepy twilight zone sampladelic grizzle numbers (plus a nice extra dash of ballardian kink)

Shift K3Y - Touch (Chris Lorenzo Remix)J. Phlip, Chris Lorenzo, High Priestess - Walls J. Phlip, Chris Lorenzo- LightsKeys N Krates - Understand Why (Chris Lorenzo Remix)My Nu Leng - You've Been Gone (Chris Lorenzo Remix)
i still like to put on a playlist of all these occasionally (plus the cause & affect remixes of pantero666, ray foxx and grades too), they really are quite amazing... if the earlier stuff was stygian then this crop last year was like being cast into tartarus
idk i hope loz tries his hand at soundtracks or something someday, the claustrophic ~sound design~ is so outrageously good, always making me draw for the greek mythology analogies obv, low scrapes of chains along catacomb corridors, distant guttural roars and howling shrieks and hot furious breath of terrible pitiless deities #dancemusic

best #dancemusic producer of the decade so far, no contest
― Benny B, Thursday, 19 March 2015 10:31 (nine years ago) link
the other thing that emphasizes best producer in a studio engineer sense (rather than best ex nihilo artist as such) is the fact that though he is so dominant he is also genuinely collaborative too, or at least works at his best bouncing off other people... like after the vice article you started seeing all these crass dickhead aspersions flying around about hannah wants' role in their stuff together, which is super dumb cos a hannah wants & lorenzo track is plainly distinct from any pete graham & lorenzo, from any donkie punch & lorenzo, from any c&a, etc. (i mean the bdot ones are literally probably him leaving loz 4am voicemails like "mate, mate... tina arena" but even still that's what had to happen to for those tracks to ever exist). and the same applies to his remixes too the way they feed off something in the original that isn't always component
this is a point that benny's comps have already underlined a thousand times obv

"classic whack-on-a-few-random-acapellas-lying-on-the-desktop jackin" is true indeed but as we all know classic jackin also means anything-but-lazy casual savant genius production masterclass, which this is. even itself being called 'babycop' tbh! 1+1 to reference a third, ladycop, son of
