the juke/bmore/bloghouse frankenstein dance music they play at clubs

Tote It, Get My Gun, Hands Up Thumbs Down, Ryda Gyrl, Slyde, Supastarr, In The Air, Stop, Check Me Out Like, Crazy Leg Wit It, Rockstarrz, Automatic Lover, Put Ya Gun In Da Air, Get Your Hands Up

and how did he change the game

mostly in the vocals (creepy falsetto leads and super-layered wordless chants) but also the way he used drums (really innovated as far as Baltimore club with all kicks and hi-hats, no snares or breakbeats) and synths, he basically flipped the scene on its ear around '05-'06.

"tim you need to send me some CDs again!"

Okay! Will try to make actual delivery more prompt than last time.

hay ill take cds from tim but feel free to send them in sendshare form

And this is what I ride for.

D1 had a joint i loved earlier this year -- lemme see if i can find it

there it go

havent checked yr mix yet but this D1

...oops

this D1 is not frankendance

btw DJ Slugo is 'real schitt' club music here in chicago -- real well known dude who plays 'actual' juke shit -- i guess sorta like rod lee?

i dunno that mix looks kinda interesting just from the tracklist dude -- but including funky house even suggests this isnt typical frankendance stuff

Well Bok Bok has got no use for fidget.

But its kind of the vibe that I find exceptable, mostly purist with a smattering of awareness of other genres thrown in. I just don't live in London or Chicago or Baltimore so I'm not quite sure how to approach it myslef.

xpost. you're talking about the same D1 as is in the mix, which looks to me like mainly UK tings/dubstep etc, not really very frankensteiny if i'm not mistaken?

I'm loving is maybe my 12" of the year.

Yeah, its mostly a funky mix with some other stuff thrown in for flavor.

is 'i'm lovin' really dubstep?? i must have a weird misconception of dubstep

Its dubstep in a perfect world, D1 has always been on his own tip really.

His early beats were really heavily techno influence (way before it was the in thing).

And recently he's had a huge fun house side to him.

well the ideal for dubstep is that it's anything at around 140 bpm with a big sub and a bit of swing but yeah, obviously most of it doesn't sound like "i'm loving" which is a lot more like funky and house etc.

or what siah said.

'I'm Loving' sounds like classic house music to me. It has a lot of 88-92 touches to it (strings and other keys, bongos, the rhythm of the bass, not to mention the vocals). I really like it.

you almost had me with

"i hate to validate disco nihilist / tombot style grousing about production technology but i am sort of coming around to their take on software vs hardware

why bother concentrating on programming rhythm when you can just take an mp3s and chop them to bits on your laptop? then it just becomes a matter of showing off your taste in your "productions" rather than, i dunno, musicality or something. no surprise then, that this music is like the domain of blogger dudes who check turntablelab every day?

but then you had to go all

"seriously, though, it's been a pretty bad year for dance music."

and

"i guess that explains why i've spent the year either listening non-populist stuff like space disco or balearic revival or edits, and blatantly non-dance music like dub techno and the dubby end of dubstep. and tons of old, old, old music.

― moonship journey to baja"

and i realised that we are not on the same page at all.

pretty sure he killfiled you, dude

"pretty sure he killfiled you, dude

― what is my attitude (gbx)"

i'll send you a memo when i give a fuck

Unfortunately you are both on the same page.

also^ redundant.

Pipecock doesn't give a fuck about anything except hearing his own voice bounced off others opinions. That much is obvious.

i dont think they were on the same page at any pt.

moonship is saying its bland how little 'musicality' (which i take to be a sorta-myopic term that talks about how the tracks are constructed?) these guys are trying to incorporate where pipecock is arguing the same bland position as the hipster djs but from the other side, that the ONLY interestin thing about dance artists is a focus on this 'musicality'/craft etc

took that night slug mix out running today and thought it was sorta ruthless and boring.

yah i started listening to it and it was feeling pretty same-y to me too -- but not offensive in the same way frankendance is

more like tasteful "check out how they sequenced these drum patterns - pretty cool huh" -- not v. populist which frankenhouse aims for

I think Tim would feel some level of vindication regarding that mix.

I like it, but it does represent a more macho (and outsider) take on UK Funky compared to say what Footloose is DJing. It shares a lot of Marcus Nasty's approach to the genre.

But the big distorted basslines in parts are straight out of bloghouse so I thought it was appropriate, even if the guys who made it would disavow any influence from that direction.

I meant a HTML page deej. It was meant to be a funny.

"Pipecock doesn't give a fuck about anything except hearing his own voice bounced off others opinions. That much is obvious.

i'm interested in people having ideas that are a little less moronic than whether a music is populist or not. there's a difference between populist and bullshit, this music doesnt seem to recognize that. people actually like good things when they hear them instead of just hearing the same old same old that every hip joker likes to toss out there. is listening to dubstep and the non-dance genre of dub techno (?!?!) really someone's reaction to how terrible shit like this is? there's no middle ground of people making music that is actually good and fun to dance to without being completely retarded?

"pipecock is arguing the same bland position as the hipster djs but from the other side, that the ONLY interestin thing about dance artists is a focus on this 'musicality'/craft etc"

is that really what i'm saying? how does my love of Dance Mania to the point of near obsession jive with this theory of yours?

"more like tasteful "check out how they sequenced these drum patterns - pretty cool huh" -- not v. populist which frankenhouse aims for

― ohhhh we pop champagne (deej)"

if cool drum patterns are not populist, how was jungle or 2-step ever chart music in the UK? who invented this line of thinking that for dance to be populist it must be as bad as possible?

no one has answers to my questions. somehow i'm not surprised.

Nobody cares what you have to say. Somehow I'm not surprised.
