Feel it in your bones as Appleblim opens a portal to the world of Dubstep

until 2.pm

to quote Reynolds exactly:
"* well Burial i guess is unexpected... but in a way that's kinda context-dependent."

I look forward to a Finney post not mean spiritedly tinted through 2step spectacles.

Have I really upset you so much Brian? I can't seem to please anyone on this thread.

ironic that people who spent the last several years moaning about techstep (dissensus folks) are now lining up to heap accolades on half-speed techstep.

if dubstep is the most exciting music of the moment (which it's not, it just can't be), does that make "ni ten ichi ryu" the greatest record of the 90s?

in the new issue of wax poetics, four tet says "everyone goes on about autechre and aphex, but i think photek ... [was] more ambitious than anything else going on; they were on a whole other level. [ni ten ichi ryu] is off the scale. what i love about it is not only was it trying to be the most innovative thing ever, it also tried to rock a club at the same time"

it seems to cement reynolds' now 10-year-old prediction that "hardcore continuum" was destined to become a nostalgia industry, like dub reggae and garage psych.

the new Sacred Symbols Of Mu compilation has new(?) tracks by vex'd, pinch, boxcutter and someone new to me but possibly my favourite track, distance. (along with 20 other tracks spanning the planet mu label's output. cheap enough that it doesn't matter that you don't like 50% of it!)

it's the tune that comes in around 23:39, overlaid w/ a female vocal saying "oh, I get a rush..."

sounds a big like benga to me (what do i know), but judging from the setlist published at the link above, it must be geenneus, terror danjah, spyro, imperial, jammer...? no idea.

for release on 17/07/06:
dubstep allstars vol 4

I'm not amazed by the Burial album so far either, though it's o-kaaay, Nothing smacking me in the face with brilliance like Dizzee's singles or "wtf, is this it?"-ed me like M.I.A.

"hauntology" = sounds like ENIGMA

I guess I like Mezzanine though.

If you just mean the hype is a ridiculism taken to new levels, then yeah I understand.

In truth, both Shadow and Burial are mood muzak, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and I like the most overblown pop moments of the Burial album for largely the same reasons that I like the most overblown pop moments of The Private Press.

the 17th according to amazon, yes. according to boomkat it's out in two days (but that's got to be a mistake, right, nothing's ever released on a thursday). ordered mine yesterday but it says '4 to 6 weeks' for delivery, so maybe not. it's a double cd btw, hatcha and youngsta mix a disk each.

More thoughts to follow.

Badness!

Can some mod please change this thread's title? Makes me wince everytime I see it.

(or, is your point something about that tracklist being too old/familiar/too small a pool of producers vahid? it's hard to tell)

burial = "new forms"
science faction = "run the road"
dubstep allstars 4 = "platinum breakz 2"
spaceape = bad memories of talkin loud spoken word stuff circa 98 etc

The first truly exciting thing to happen in dance music since the turn of the millennium, dubstep appears to be reaching a kind of critical mass in terms of the feverish media coverage afforded to it. At the epicentre of this swirling hype tornado is Skream, whose eponymous debut album arrives this week looking like it could be just the thing to tip dubstep over into the mainstream.

The Lex's(!) review of MAH's Warrior Dubz compilation in today's Graun (N.B. he was calling dubstep boring like two months ago!):
This is a superb introduction to some of the most thrilling, forward-thinking music in the UK today.

A woofer-carried pandemic is on its way and frankly, resistance is futile
