^^yeah that shit is yoga f major

lol what

So did anyone catch Girl Unit on Rinse FM earlier today?

idk oppet, tho in a wider sense....

night slugs are probably at the level of bolton atm, impressive skills on a moderate budget

girl unit is CY lee, the fleetflooted showboat off to bigger things

egyptrixx is the johann elmander, pure unadulterated bigness of sound and spirit

lol what

my inner thoughts have been corrupted by big hoos

matt & rtc football jersey convo killed me

Another Girl is totally totally ace. Will rep for Jacques Greene forever, though, as he spins with a bunch of my friends in MTL. His sets are basically ILM catnip. Nights Slugs type shit with chopped and screwed mixes of Ciara, Yamaha + assorted Terius, 'Motivation', Cassie's Skydiver, etc. etc. etc.

His remixes of Cassie's 'Must Be Love' and Katy B's 'Broken Record' are also keepers.

Egyptrixx's singles are pretty ace and his live show back in February or whatever was killer, but the full length album didn't blow me away.

I'm liking the Egyptrixx album so far, but I'm kind of taking it track by track.

oh shit is jacques greene from montreal i had no idea

oh yeah the katy b remix is my other other jacques greene jam

alex are your friends dudes who (used to??) do the night trackin house night at that place in the old port whose name i cant recall always meant to go to one of those

Jacques Greene is the best producer associated with Night Slugs at the moment I reckon (assuming Nzungunzu don't count, and Girl Unit is hit-and-miss). Seems to understand the importance of colour and having bass that does something other than throb and glower. A lot of other Night Slugs stuff talks a good game with its technicolour sci-fi landscape synths and the music seems drab in comparison.

Really didn't like the Egyptrixx album at all, have yet to hear any Jam City that's done much for me.

Actually I really like Velour as well.

you know velour = hyetal + julio bashmore, right? i hadn't particularly loved them pre-velour but separately they're kind of blowing my mind this year - hyetal's album is amazing, bashmore's "battle for middle you" was already one of my favourite tracks of the year and then he followed it up with the fantastic batty knee dance ep...

Yeah, Bashmore rules. I think Mosca is great too but he needs to release more stuff.

Julio Bashmore is really good as well.

(Never actually heard of Hyetal, will check that one out).

Velour's really good, yeah. Bumsex references aside ;-) Was reading about Hyetal yesterday, hadn't heard of him before.

also on the batty knee dance ep

my fav trax on the hyetal album (which is a bit of a curveball from his prior productions)

Really didn't like the Egyptrixx album at all

not even Rooks Theme? shish

(yes, hyetal pushes the same buttons in me that witch house does, so i'll just pre-empt that zing there)

"Ribble to Amazon" is my favourite Bashmore production, real nice summery vibe. Couldn't get on with the Egyptrixx album at all.

i'm pretty much in like-not-love territory with egyptrixx's productions myself, though the ikonika remix of "the only way up" was awesome

There was one good track on the Egyptrixx album but I can't remember what, the rest sounded so... uninspired.

Thes might be my fave Bashmore and Hytetal bits...

Dispite being really into both of them I wasn't feeling those Velour tracks, wouldn't mind hearing them do more though.Hyetal's collabs with Peverelist and Shortstuff are amazing though.

the importance of colour and having bass that does something other than throb and glower.

Most of the producers mentioned here seem to be working on a deliberately icy, inhuman sound..... it's hard for me to love a lot of it. Which is funny, because I used to get off - and still do - on extremely jacking techno. I dunno. There's an incredible fussiness to a lot of it.

Or maybe younger listeners aren't burdened with unpleasant memories of the jazzier side of jungle so it doesn't bother them as much..

unpleasant you say...

Heh. I realise this is not a unique complaint, and "this isn't dubstep" but still.

xxxxxxxp

alex are your friends dudes who (used to??) do the night trackin house night at that place in the old port whose name i cant recall always meant to go to one of those

yes. these days they do the night tracking house night type thing at Blizzarts on Thursdays for their Baller's Social Club Night, and open for whoever they bring into town. they have piknic electronique the weekend of OSHEAGA and have booked Girl Unit and DâM-FunK, which should be properly epic.

I really dug the Velour ep, actually. Probably my favourite Night Slugs release outside of Girl Unit. (And, surely, shouldn't we get a mod to change the title of the thread to some sort of all-purpose night slugs one for ease of discovery?)

cooooooooooool i will go as often as possible this summer

I always forget who is from Montreal on ILM. Heh. I'm sure we will bump into one another without knowing it!

i had no idea flopson was canadian let alone from MTL

People did not know Jacques Greene was from MTL.
People did not know flopson was from MTL.
There is only one realistic conclusion to draw here.

optimum - not sure if there are any relevant opinions to be had about this track

we could talk about LONE and the return of pre-autechre IDM styles

also i've been following this thread with a bit of interest and my only question is why don't these guys get more love on ILM?

for my money much more exciting than night slugs
