this tdq album is amazing but of course it is. i'll think of something more interesting to say hopefully. once the sub-bass on "only one" lets me back up off the floor.

"touch" puts me in mind of 2000-ish mj cole. that massive 2-step beat, the edge of menace. the unexpected major key bassline! the precision of the thing, every element precisely picked out in the mix, nothing stepping on each other's toes. the LUSHNESS. wayyy too short tho :(

Q's Pure Bassline mix is awesome, no major surprises in there and he doesn't do the really rapid fire switches between records but good to have at least one version of his recent sets out there on streaming services/in shops.

listening to UKG at lunchtime and Hannah started singing "Baked Beans" along to the vocal sample in said track, even tho she'd never heard it before

Bassline producers... in 2018 can we stop trying to be comedians online and actually release more music for the supporters... on that note, My Bae by myself and @FlavaD is available to stream / download from today https://t.co/ypyF8iRSup— DJ Q (@djqmusic) December 25, 2017

Any idea where the vocal sample in Make Some Noise v2 comes from (if it is a sample)?

nope

the mixing around 49 mins is a thing of beauty. i love the ragga/hardcore/2-step combo. love how rough and ready these live sets are, how fearless q is, how ambitious

the new Barely Royal compilation "100% Bass" is giving me the same kind of feeling a DJ Q Kiss show gave me - lots of opulent bangers of growling subs and wobbling midrange, rhythmically thrilling but direct and brutalist, new vocal anthems mixed with refixes of 90s pop-house, skirting awfulness with tastelessness but never less than joyous glee
(except the drum & bass tracks on it, they're mostly rubbish)
― boxedjoy, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 08:57 (six years ago) link
caught him live at a festival recently. it was a lot more bassline and a lot less garage-house than i'd expected

This Fabriclive mix is fucking bonkers in the best way - personal highlight is the end of his remix of the Stingray theme (!) and a sample intones "anything can happen in the next half hour" and it feels like a promise as much as a punchline. Why can't all music be so charismatic and fun and joyous?
― boxedjoy, Friday, 14 December 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link
The Stingray drop is one of my favourite musical moments of the year but the mix in general is, I dunno, enjoyable but slightly frustrating and unsatisfying? Like it could stand to be more pop maybe?
It's like when Q was at his peak his sets had this magical alchemy, like he'd perfected the ratios of bassline brutalism, garage slink and pop shamelessness and his recent sets have more of the former and less of the latter. Over the last few years Q (and TQD in particular) have become fixtures on the UK festival bosh circuit and as a result maybe his sets have lost a bit of the balance that used to make them special. He's amped up the ruffness and cut back on the sugar.

sounds a little like the journey taken by my other favourite dj, jd twitch!
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 December 2018 13:20 (five years ago) link
it seems likely that hanging out around kiss and 1xtra would result in a bit of residual pop rubbing off?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 14 December 2018 13:23 (five years ago) link
I do wish there was a little more of the shameless 90s-ecstasy-refix about it but obvz that wouldn't be very on-brand for Fabric to have something like the Motez remix of "Don't Call Me Baby" or whatever
