Sascha Funke vs. Nina Kravizhttp://open.spotify.com/artist/1meuzXhsNqB8rtK4Cc2MUy

"vitriol" seems kind of hyperbolic
jimi's just offering a gentle "idgi"
― the late great, Wednesday, 21 March 2012 19:21 (twelve years ago) link
idgi it either but tim's comment about it sounding more or less like a poker flat album from the last 10 years kinda covers any other comments i could add to the thread

i don't hear even any vague similarities between nina kraviz, blondes, john talabot and dfa. also the only people who have heard of nina kraviz are huge dance heads, not indie people

I played her for Rev in the outloud room one night, which I think was his first time hearing her. I'm neither a dance head or an indie people.

I am frequently surprised by the lengths people will go to in order to categorise things together based on their own feelings of love or hate rather than, um, what the music sounds like.

This is mega Berlin 2012 DFA tech indie house if ever I saw it.

i don't get the "indie" thing or the dfa comparisons either. haha ok i just relistened to some kalabrese and i don't know what i was remembering because kalabrese is certainly not "jam packed" or maximalist, by and large. there is a lot of overlap with what nina kraviz is doing for sure. it's more interesting to me to figure out why they're different, though, and to my mind they are. damned if i can really explain it. i can also see the comparisons with poker flat but again i've been bored silly by most poker flat stuff i've heard and not this, which despite its surface-level boringness and songs which develop maybe 2mm from where they started still manages to keep me listening (some more than others, obv; i don't really like the ultra-leaden voice on "ghetto kraviz" for example). perhaps one point of distinction between kraviz and somebody like dani siciliano (or kalabrese) is the sense of cheapness to it, for lack of a better word. half thought-out. which is maybe what jimi was getting at. but me, i like cheap if it sounds like this!

i feel like this has been the scourge of dance discussion here and beyond for a long, long time. not that there hasn't been plenty good discussion. really wish it would stop, there is this constant thing everything some people hate is labelled as a word they've already decided they hate and vice versa, regardless of the music.

Loving it so far. Very much making me want to don a pair of shades and sway by a rooftop pool rather than being in the basement shop of a university selling Polo mints.

I saw her over the weekend and she only played super-super-super-SUPER-SUUUUUUPEEEEEEEEEERRRR-tracky techno with barely any synth lines or anything and no real obvious breakdowns or buildups and most people (self-included) had no idea what to do with it. Like people would just dance for a little bit and then stop cause there weren't really any cues in the music to ease back here, go nuts here, whatever.

this, which despite its surface-level boringness and songs which develop maybe 2mm from where they started still manages to keep me listening
i don't know, but maybe there's less songcraft getting in the way of the good bits? i hear, like, refrains, and fragments of refrains, and of backing vocals, but less of a heavy effort to sculpt them into house's version of a 'song'
even if it is there somehow.
cuz anyway good refrains or groups of refrain-like parts don't need so much in the way of development

DJ Kicks mix is sultry and moody and deep and basically what I expected, not hugely thrilling but not boring and definitely cut from the same cloth as her album.

yup.saw it on cd in my local hmv in the week of release and thought i'd get it at some point.never saw the cd edition again except for £££ via amazon.however, someone who used to work for the label is on discogs and has a clearly has a couple of copies up for grabs : https://www.discogs.com/Nina-Kraviz-Nina-Kraviz/master/414521

also from the same bloke, got the radioslave/rekids/mixmag covermount ordered as i never got the mag.and ... shhhhh, but a hopefully few extra edits and stuff that are not allowed to be advertised on discogscannot wait.
― mark e, Sunday, 31 December 2017 20:48 (six years ago) link
ok, package arrived yesterday.
the standard NK cd album with skinny promo (perfect for the car !)along with a copy of mixmag with NK on the cover and a covermount cd of a mixtape of unreleased extras aka 'Mister Jones'.(alongside a few REKIDS extras, but hey i dont want to brag)blood and sand, it's a good album.
in other news : just found out today that Radio Slave had a proper artist album out recently ! clearly i am no longer on the ball, as i had no idea.
― mark e, Thursday, 4 January 2018 22:51 (six years ago) link
and weirdly, NK is this months cover of Mixmag, with 2 cover variations available.

having attended a panel talk that included Frankie from Discwoman a couple weeks ago that touched on similar issues... I would absolutely not advise Nina to do the "well, actually.." stuff and slowly back away
(it was a really good panel)

It would appear 99% of Nina Kraviz fans (sadly) can't see that she did or said anything wrong.
