Mr. Limey's "to get us in the mood... WHY DON'T WE WATCH SOME PORN" from "Audio Erotique" also deserves a mention - perfect way to open a silly sex track

haven't checked out the Garnett mix properly yet but while we're on the subject of jackin mixes, this is the one i've been rinsing out the most lately (at least from about 14 mins in), just banger after banger after banger:

on first listen i'd say that... basically everyone needs to hear this?

Mind Taker, Friday, 30 November 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link

hw's sets seem to be getting ruder and ruffer and more crossbred, liking it

whose is the tasty 'right before my eyes' refix after the hour mark?

r|t|c, Friday, 30 November 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link

was wondering the same thing myself! ______ & Lorenzo probably

and now i'm listening to this:

http://podcast.dgen.net/rinsefm/podcast/ShadowChild291112.mp3

rather enjoyable so far, second half hour had some ridiculously ott swirly bits

Mind Taker, Friday, 30 November 2012 21:21 (eleven years ago) link

man has admirable discipline for sure, managed to spin for whole 57 minutes without a single Brandy acapella!

Mind Taker, Friday, 30 November 2012 21:26 (eleven years ago) link

haha, downloading now

just ftr cause & affect (and shorterz idk?) with jamie george on the mic have the second half of this week's marcus but i wouldnt say it was overly essential listening

r|t|c, Friday, 30 November 2012 21:33 (eleven years ago) link

want an id for this first whiteboy dub calypso track on the shadow child set already

r|t|c, Friday, 30 November 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link

hey guys, serious ?:

what is an interzone bubbler?

U.S. State Department, Office of Rare Psych (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 November 2012 21:45 (eleven years ago) link

ukg interzone - the space where uk garage mingles with other club music du jour and vice versa

bubbler - dance tune with a bubbly, carribean-like feel... or something like that, there are probably like twenty smarter and better worded Finney posts on the matter ;)

Mind Taker, Friday, 30 November 2012 22:10 (eleven years ago) link

yeah functionally speaking this is basically just like a catch-all thread for uk garage and other dance musics that come (or are made to come) within its orbit

subtextwise i guess maybe you could say there's a small scale disco-not-disco moment going on right now (with a dj called dj q as its larry levan) with this stuff and the idea of a bubbler and its bubbling is a valiant attempt to theorise the ties that loosely but indubitably bind various stuff together

thing is we'd reject a solid rubric for it anyway so it's kind of a we know it when we hear it on the fly thing idk

r|t|c, Friday, 30 November 2012 22:31 (eleven years ago) link

Interzone bubbling is one of those attempts: the effort to take the temperature of the age without instruments and in a situation in which we are not even sure there is so coherent a thing as an "age," or zeitgeist or "system" or "current situation" any longer. Interzone bubbling is then dialectical at least insofar as it has the wit to seize on that very uncertainty as its first clue and to hold to its Ariadne's thread on its way through what may not turn out to be a labyrinth at all, but a gulag or perhaps a shopping mall.

^ before being fatally sb'd for repeatedly just posting "hold tight my bassline soldiers you know the koo" noted raver frederic jameson had this to say on the matter

r|t|c, Friday, 30 November 2012 22:42 (eleven years ago) link

thanks gents! :)

keep on bubbling, i will read more of the thread.

U.S. State Department, Office of Rare Psych (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 November 2012 22:43 (eleven years ago) link

of course, my first thought was joy division + 7-up

U.S. State Department, Office of Rare Psych (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 November 2012 22:44 (eleven years ago) link

the other ukg superword seems to be "skankin" - but i'm not up on its genealogy

Mind Taker, Tuesday, 4 December 2012 13:00 (eleven years ago) link

I was playing the Marcus sexy jacking set in the car and the intro to "Away We Go" started up and I turned to Matt and said "LISTEN" and then Marcus announced "LISTEN".

Tim F, Sunday, 9 December 2012 11:22 (eleven years ago) link

wow that hard fi remix. trying to imagine the circumstances leading to its birth

some jackin bits of interest:

https://soundcloud.com/sweetbeatofficial/sweet-beat-chemistry-original

with so many monkeys sampling Aaliyah one was at some point bound to capture at least some of that "Stone Cold" magic, and here it is

https://soundcloud.com/thomas-graham/evertyhing-thomas-graham-retro

lovely deep organ diva stuff

https://soundcloud.com/tomgarnett11/tom-garnett-lorenzo-moving
https://soundcloud.com/dj-chrisg/chris-gresswell-hayely-s-deep

now that these our out of the way imo the only big recent omnipresent tune that remains to be id'd is the 'what must i do to prove to you' one

https://soundcloud.com/paul-lawrence/em-katz-dont-leave-me

coming up with a gonzo groove like this and then knowing fuck all what to do with should be punishable by law :(

https://soundcloud.com/burkieukbassproducer/burkie-l-o-v-e-gordons-a

rtc i guess this is the "Boiling" refix you were asking for upthread? love it

https://soundcloud.com/causenaffect/cause-affect-kamikaze

guilty pleasure!

https://soundcloud.com/djmartjnr/dub-be-good-to-me-to-me-samplehhh

another fit lil skanker to add to the "Dub Be Good to Me" pile... this is an early version btw, the finished article is rather inferior :\

https://soundcloud.com/dave_fogg/dave-fogg-dont-make-me-wait

not the first tune by this guy that i've enjoyed, gonna be keeping an eye on him

this shitty awards season got me all fucked up and lazy, should have taken 6 months off like last time. havent listened to any proper music in ages

http://soundcloud.com/ryanblyth/dawn-chorus-huddersfield-live

last thing i heard was this, can't recall much other than omg cypress hill and a solemn blood vow never to delete it off the ipod

http://soundcloud.com/ryanjamesmusic/ryan-james-swaggerr-volume-17

also this, nice and solid

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 13:59 (eleven years ago) link

last night i had a good time though
dont think i should have had the last line though
half past eight i was totally sober
come half past nine i was totally blind though

^ keeps popping into my head at the most mundane moments

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:02 (eleven years ago) link

could almost say it's indicative of a kind of pathological morbidity to jackin and jackin appreciation that's fundamentally inexpressible to the casual browser

like the best drops have a real half-smile zombified relish wit to them, this sui generis x-factor that garage or bassline or big beat or whatever u care to throw in never had

but eh idk

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link

Yah i hear that.

Same vibe, I think, that results in jackin remixes of tunes like Tina Arena's "Chains" - jackin' fucks with adult contempo because it can turn the smallness of the latter's gestures to its own dubious ends.

Tim F, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:12 (eleven years ago) link

maybe bassline kinda had it actually? but this is a mutation still

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link

Bassline more rictus than half-smile surely?

Tim F, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:16 (eleven years ago) link

right right, sugar-addled

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:17 (eleven years ago) link

What's amazing to me is that i still feel like i'm getting jackin', like it's still opening up and revealing its secrets to me. Truly a mary poppins' travel bag of music sub-genres.

Tim F, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:19 (eleven years ago) link

http://soundcloud.com/tomgarnett11/tom-garnett-lorenzo-moving

yesss thisssssss finally

actually a perfect example of what we're saying, the build and vocal is pure basslineage but then it can't resist forcing joyous BABYBABYBABYBABYBAY right up against you on its own until suddenly the face falls and... "-by". [cue deliberately disorientating loping drop]

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:23 (eleven years ago) link

i mean it sux to reuse a coinage but that whole amniotic suspension thing works even better with jackin than it did funky, it's always employing these little strategies to keep you inside it and never break free with pure release

r|t|c, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:26 (eleven years ago) link

woah that tune's amazing

Tim F, Thursday, 20 December 2012 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
