Nice. Maybe this IS the right thread! I feel like HH is starting to hit the loosey goosey, occasionally jackin' and frequently shameless side of the interzone.. Territory largely ceded by the statelier deep house (in the classic sense) takin-you-on-a-journey mode of most of UTTU.
But of course it's a dialectic. (Like in those sets, actually!)

I could have just linked to this comment for the 15 July set
Giles Dickerson at 3:16:I love a DJ that can slam the dance floor and still keep it tastefull and smart. Nailed it.
but i guess I had to work it out for myself.

how does tim make his corrections sound all encouraging and shit, this is what i'm trying to work out rn

maybe hot haus isn't really in the interzone at all apart from trumpet & badman - it's just house - but it feels informed by it
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 26 August 2014 17:59 (nine years ago) link
actually shit, i don't know, some of it is TOTALLY interzone - the label houses enough variety to not be able to pin down (tick VG obv)
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 26 August 2014 21:08 (nine years ago) link
idk tbph trace i would say u have maybe tied yourself up in knots better off cut than untangled
i mean i could spend the next day or seven illustrating on the blackboard a spirograph galaxy of venn diagrams of intersecting interzones representing my personal interpretation of what a gwan ecologically but really it's not like that... they're not lawless "whee my spotify playlist is real life it's gr8 being bourgeois" zones but nor are they set in heavy stone to tie yourself to and jump in the river with either
as far as this specific thread remit goes i swear to god ppl u could literally have called it "rolling bits annie mac takes a shine to (some of which that end up charting)" and it would have done the job fine
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 21:37 (nine years ago) link
yeah. it's funny to me how quickly my own interzone interests have changed - i'm vastly less interested in the purringly professional manifestations of bass-house these days for some reason - your gorgon cities and redlights and koves and kidnap kids. i don't know why. it doesn't feel like it's really gone anywhere too interesting, when for a coupla months it felt like it could go anywhere. for awhile i felt like jackin was the other pole to that, the balancing weight, but hearing all this hot haus stuff, with its sleeve graphics that look like they're made by somebody's cousin who says he knows how to do graffiti and their kind of loosey gooseyness, well, that can be another

given that the thread title references a song that went to No.1 in the uk charts i'd say it's hard to be too poppy here! however.... the recent incursions of oliver heldens and spinnin' records does mark a shift from the black butter/pmr axis of yore. i think the only rule probably, my ontological prevarication upthread notwithstanding, is that if you think it's interzone, it's interzone

So I'm maybe two-thirds of the way through the (really quite underwhelming) Gorgon City and it's kinda lol but mostly sad how effortlessly Jennifer Hudson outclasses everyone else here. It's not even the quality of her voice (although that's obviously better) but just a matter of knowing how to sing over a house track, and when to work with and against the beat. When you hear Maverick Sabre and the people I assume are the fast-tracked music industry class of 2015 over this stuff it's obvious they have no real ear for it at all.
Ready For Your Love is still a jam though.

better than every kiesza follow-up that people have bizarrely trying to make happen in the kiesza thread. let a one-hit wonder be a one-hit wonder!

No Enemiesz is the first decent Kieszsa followup, though the product placement in the video is rather offputting.

kinda lol i said this earlier today cos this thing is totally that magical ice rink / bowling lanes phenomenology where all chart music sounds at its absolute very best
reminds me that the last time i was at rowans in goonerland (this was within the last couple of years) they were playing soul for real 'candy rain' in the arcades!! candy fucking rain!!!!

somehow i've completely missed all lead-in singles to the rudimental album which is currently #1 in the UK
has anyone heard it? did they make another baby / spoons / waiting all night?

The new Rudimental stuff has disappointed me even more than the new Disclosure stuff.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 10 October 2015 10:35 (eight years ago) link
I have no interest in hearing either but I assume Rudimental have been trawling it around the festival set like a military campaign.
The first Disclosure and Rudimental albums felt perfectly timed, they both hit at the crest of a wave, a moment that's gone now. What I've heard from both suggests that they get less and less enjoyable the more they try and broaden their appeal.

A post to note that A*M*E of "Need U" repute is now making music under the name KABBA and has released her first EP: https://open.spotify.com/album/3gzZEIjvV8djfkYG1z4Pk8
She's called Duke Dumont out for his fuckery so don't expect that team up to happen again:
. @DukeDumont do me a favour and keep my name out of your mouth please. I saw the Music Week write up, you sir are a liar and you’re disrespectful. 2013 was a long time ago my guy, let it fucking go! You didn’t even get my name right!— KABBA (@kabbaofficial) December 20, 2019
.@DukeDumont I was not enthused to write to your loop but I asked my friend to write the song with me and together we scored you your only number 1 record and a Grammy nomination. Instead of thanking us you’ve been nothing but shady & rude all these years.— KABBA (@kabbaofficial) December 20, 2019
.@DukeDumont I could go on and on but I’ve been nothing but respectful and sweet to you (as I try to be with everyone) why you felt you needed to be so shady and blatantly rude baffles my spirit. Give it a rest & enjoy the PRS. Happy holidays!— KABBA (@kabbaofficial) December 20, 2019
