more gun crime in london? its hard to tell sometimes with grime how pronounced the influx of urban decay in london really is or if its just part and parcel of the actual genre, i.e. its de facto POV

errm so:
still tippin, dipset, 'running' by the game, jamrock, summer bounce riddim, the throw-riko-a-bone dancehall mix of 'shake a leg' is on scoobay riddim, what else
i dunno

New Kornel Kovacs LP has some poptimist-tinged broadcasts from the continuum. https://kornelkovacs.bandcamp.com/album/hotel-kokoUsch is some Nordic garage, works for me but maybe too polished for some. Get Goofy comes a little harder — I’m not sure the vocal totally works tho.

A lot of chatter about the new Burial release but I it’s hard for me to get worked up about, he tends to be same-y imo. I do think we should have the intention of reviving every different ardkore continuum-adjacent thread if possible.

honestly i think RS might be one of the most overrated crews in grimesure they have some moments of brilliance/greatness, but they usually pad it out with real sub-dipset crapthey had underground which was amazing, then on the b side they put that rubbish heatmakers-gone-grime tracki want to like them cos grime bloggers love em so much but they seem really inconsistent. i think they just want to make hip-hop really, but somehow ended up in grime (thinking about that now, that might a common dilemma)i wonder when the next wiley agenda adjustment will come, its been quite a while.― hi, Monday, 31 October 2005 14:28 (sixteen years ago) bookmarkflaglink

why is it the hardcore continuum and not the reggae continuum or the disco continuum or something else? what motivates critical attention on this lineage over others? is it something about establishing a narrative throughline for specifically british-based electronic/dance musics? and is it supposed to be prescriptive in some way (which would make sense of bizarre things like jazz influences in jungle being talked about as somehow extraneous or intrusive)?
