i mean to put it another way it's really as simple as silently freaking out on the bus to (for instance) the randomer/mella dee drops in the latest set and thinking "fuckkkkk i wish i was there!!" and then that there kinda being a mirage really
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 18:53 (ten years ago) link
in this particular instance i'd be v surprised if mos' input extended beyond "send us a mix once a month and we'll bang some idents on it cheers"
hah yes i'm sure you're right about that. but i think there's an expectation that mixes for the radio are going to make a statement of some kind, set out a stall, be "promo", have a certain proportion of new choons, show the way in some regard
lol at your last post, this is so very true
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 20:44 (ten years ago) link
comes back to what i mentioned earlier - the thing is i'm actually not so certain that that expectation is there for most manifestations of ukg, not in the active, agent way it generally is of other stuff. pr's will always liberally throw around words like freshest etc but i mean beyond that... ukg i think holds a place in the public consciousness somewhere in between fond nostalgia and a vague awareness that its lifeforce is still extant and maybe particularly influential lately - but really when you start talking of edgy new this n that it generally immediately becomes basshouse etc. i mean take q out of the equation and who do u really got making the same case, what does the world look like then? so this is really why i wonder if there's an constant subliminal element of deferential persuasion involved in the more referential live sets beyond just keeping the party bubbling with crowdpleasing hits

aah these are the awesome slo-mo pitchshifting jungle bits right? had been kinda trying to imagine for while how breakbeats could be used in a garage context, without it just being yer standard "breakbeat garage" (in the 138 trek sense) but when these dropped unexpectedly they surpassed my fantasies. never even rated mella dee or randomer that highly before, and i suspect they wouldn´t have/won´t hit me in the same way if i´d just heard them on soundcloud or whatever. anyway, need to listen to this set again asap
haven´t listened yet but a free classified ep has just dropped too :)http://2tuf4u.bandcamp.com/album/completely-classified-e-p-vol-1
― Benny B, Thursday, 28 August 2014 22:43 (ten years ago) link
ok, listened again and realise i probably got a bit carried away with the break thing there. still, no one can say Q isn´t pushing back the boundaries of what garage can be by selecting tracks like these.
the classified ep is straight tropical/todd edwards aceness as you´d expect

*breakbeat thing
― Benny B, Sunday, 31 August 2014 11:49 (ten years ago) link
yeah def ... never liked mista men at all, and altho i've heard q make good use of randomer stuff before i'd never have touched anything on l.i.e.s with a bargepole (good sublol at what sounds like the "white sickness, white sickness" vox sample in gt turbo)
the fact q can pull off these moves while keeping them in close loyalist vicinity to todd edwards bits most sets is obv another example of what makes him so singular

in-depth interview here. it focusses more on his productions so nothing on the mos shows. still, pretty goodhttp://thequietus.com/articles/16148-dj-q-interview
― Benny B, Thursday, 4 September 2014 15:36 (ten years ago) link
ya good stuff. i am also a big advocate of keeping many plates spinning of course
author was on some weird tenuous shit bringing a lineage to butterz into it... i guess there is an arguable consonance but it is light years more abstract than he can make out
― r|t|c, Thursday, 4 September 2014 20:33 (ten years ago) link
tenuous and overstated maybe, but i can see why he mentioned them i suppose.
this interview set me off listening to old (early 00s) sidewinder sets on yt, still my favourite era of garage I think and obviously the closest reference to Qs approach.
where can i hear this FIAT tune he mentions then?

it seems MoS is going in a "different direction" which may or may not involve attempting to more directly flog their comps, via their radio station
