yeah "qawalli" reminds me a lot of Matias Aguayo's "Are You Really Lost"...

Tim Finney: I love that Matias Aguayo album! I'd love to see some more communicatio between these genres... that sense of icy urban minimalism is a common thread, even if the cultural history and beat structure is very distinct...

gek-opel, Friday, 7 April 2006 18:04 (eighteen years ago) link

There's a Burial track up on his myspace... "Shutta" very very nice, broken down two step (so swung its almost out of time but not quite) the ghost of a dance diva and minimal almost postpunky guitars dubbed to fuck. I don't think its on his new album tho (shame..>)

gek-opel, Friday, 7 April 2006 19:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone heard the VIP mix of Qawwali? Its more standard dubstep in terms of beat, but its actually even more minimal, almost nothing there at all... really i hope dubstep goes down this minimalist route...

two weeks pass...
http://kode9.blogspot.com/

new kode9 single, 9 samurai, is lovely*. video is stunning too.

(* this almost certainly isn't the right word to describe it, dark and heavy as it is, but i do find a lot of this dubstep stuff is actually quite pretty in its own peculiar way. skream's midnght request line for instance, despite having percussion based on the sound of guns being cocked, reminds me of isan)

DEEDS NOT WORDS (vahid), Friday, 28 April 2006 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

is shadetek's "meckle mix" more like dubstep w/ MCs on it or is it more like straight grime? i pretty much stepped off the bus when "aim high vol 2" happened (sub-diplomatic immunity 2 at best, no thanks) but for whatever reason i just grabbed the "meckle mix" and i like it a lot.

anybody heard dj maxximus new mix? i know it's not as current as dubstep vol 3 but it looks mighty exciting.

DEEDS NOT WORDS (vahid), Friday, 28 April 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

It's more like straight grime (very little dubtep at all.)

The Maxximus mix is okay. It's similar to but not as good as the Shadetek mix, with weaker MCing and a slightly more off-kilter approach.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 28 April 2006 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

didja get yours at aquarius? i hate on that store a lot but i tend to find good stuff there. last time i walked around sneering at the uber-pretentious psych/kraut/indie obscurities and then walked out with like a used copy of the new isolee (sucks, but still), "heavy meckle" (killer) and three used early warp singles.

DEEDS NOT WORDS (vahid), Friday, 28 April 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

The Meckle mix? Yes (cheaper than special ordering from FE which was the only other place which carries it outside of NY.) The Maxximus one I actually ordered from Boomkat, mistakenly thinking the pound signs were euros, which set me back a pretty penny. Sigh.

Technical Itch sticks his oar in with 'Implant', which is great. been a fan for ages and this is a nice mix of the dubstep thing and his old style (deep bass, menacing vocal sample, trademark acid wibbling). other side not bad either.

koogs (koogs), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

wow! tech itch is back!

FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i wanted to start a thread on tech itch (and source direct and so on) and that point in 97 when tech itch was making tracks that were so slow and rigid and square that they were practically experimental techno (almost like black country techno but with a less annoys / more acrid sound palette)

FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Wednesday, 10 May 2006 13:54 (seventeen years ago) link

> wow! tech itch is back!

did he ever go away? 8)

actually, this week there are 3 new Tech Itch related 12"s available for download from tunetribe - a new Tech Itch (the label) release (EBK & Danny Holdtight, TI047), a new Penetration release (TI himself, TIP021) and the Ascension 001 split 12" thing (above) which is him and Headhunter. i make that 7 releases so far this year, with probably only the Implant thing actually on topic here... 8)

there's some tracks on Boomkat, and a Breezeblock mix somewhere online...

i thought the exact same thing - it's like an audio book at times 8) and the 30 tracks under the vocals, you can't distinguish one from the other. nice that he launches into Ghost Town for a while there though.

HOLY SHIT

FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Sunday, 14 May 2006 00:47 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks for the kind words about our Heavy Meckle CD, vol 2 is in the works and will feature a few dubstep tunes as well. Sheen and I have recently gotten heavily into that side of things due to the many good nights getting put on here in Berlin. Everyone still unsure, the best way to find out is go to FWD or any other night you can get to and hear the engulfing, chest rattling, bowel churning sub bass. It's a very unique and pleasant experience (if you like bass).

Matt Shiznaiza, Tuesday, 16 May 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

That Pitchfork idea that Burial is somehow a ceremony of solemnity for the fallen career of Omni Trio...VERY FUNNY! The Breezeblock mix suits the description, though.

I'm looking for more Loefah mixes, the squishy darkness is great.

...but it is very good. My copy arrived today and apart from the rubbish raping of Mr Spaceape and his pseudo intellectual tripe it's a good album. Can't get over how gloomy it is. Here in London today it's dark, grey and dank...and this album suits the outside perfectly.

Treblekicker (treblekicker), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

That should probably say 'rapping' not 'raping'. There is no good rape kids. Stay safe out there :)

Treblekicker (treblekicker), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 16:27 (seventeen years ago) link

i picked up three things last night: dubstep vol 2, dubstep vol 3 and shadetek's WSHT mix.

over the last two days i've been moving house - from a 2nd story apartment to another 2nd story apartment. from about 4 pm when i get off work (which starts at 7 am) to about 10 pm i've been moving several hundred pounds of books and music, stereo equipment, clothes, etc. i didn't want to rent a truck, so i've been moving everything in my tiny hatchback, six or seven boxes at a time. lots of running up and down stairs.

last night, muscles aching, seeing trails and outlines around things from sugar and water loss and all the endorphins swirling around in my head, lying on blankets piled on the floor (bed gets moved when i can borrow a truck) "dubstep allstars vol 2" sounded like some of the greatest music i've ever heard in my life!

i'm not sure if i can understand how people dance to it or club to it but if i were sentenced to hard, slow sisyphean labor for the rest of my life i couldn't think of a better soundtrack than "dubstep vol 2".

the best part was the transition of out the slow uphill slog of the first four tracks into "request line". that track is amazing! not sure why i never noticed it before but it's like welding the fidgety beats of plaid to the sound palette of early early two lone swordsmen with the thick bass of dubstep. insane!

OTOH "vol 3" just sounded silly to me. i hope i warm up to it but right now it sounds like trying-too-hard-to-be-rootsy euro beat music. is this the leftfield or rockers hi-fi of the 2000s?

FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

i'm excited enough that i'm going to pick up horsepower's second album and both grime comps out of the bargain bin this weekend, even though i've heard horrible things about them from just about everybody.

not sure why, but my growing fandom for dubstep makes me think i'm transforming from a carefree nightcrawler into a sad, sad little man.

FLOWING STRAIGHT FROM THE SURVIVAL SCROLL (vahid), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i used to be friends with hairdressers and designers, would go clubbing five nights a week and listened to electrohouse and disco punk! now i spend my days getting insulted by teenagers, lying on my back at night in pain sipping green tea and listening to dubstep!

is the burial available anywhere in the u.s. yet? supposedly it came out in the u.k. yesterday. i can't find it on bleep (or even s1sk).

release date was pushed back to the 22nd i guess

sample clearance maybe?

"i'm excited enough that i'm going to pick up horsepower's second album"

You've only got yrself to blame if you do this Vahid.

OTOH, "Request Line" is awesome yes. I think that new Davinche/Sadie tune I like whose name I've forgotten is a blatant tribute. Also have you heard Pinch's "Qawalli" yet? I would totally have put it on 6:33am Eternal if I had it in unmixed form.

available on bleep as well if you, y'know, wanna do the right thing. they have a special ROAD section at the top of their BROWSING list which is all their DMZ / hyperdub / mu / ital stuff.

i want to complain about the shadetek mix.

"WSHT mix", not "heavy meckle" (which is killer) ... it's sort of a dj rupture-ish thing.

which thread should i do it on?

No one on this thread has pointed out how great "Anti-War Dub" is yet, right? Well it's great. This year's "Request line" probably.
