can i just reiterate if anyone wants to get up to speed on individual tracks this is the way to go, 100 tracks straight in one playlist ta da your day is sorted minimum fuss

http://soundcloud.com/amine-edge/stikkylips-lorenzo-model-demo

despite its slightness i feel duty bound to to alert mindtaker to this

move over cassie the stikkylips fan club is in full effect

be sure to get familiar with everything cause n affect from the last month posted on there

yeah definitely, as i've said i'm especially keen on "Kamikaze" - it does offer a glimpse into a nightmarish alternate universe where jackin gets discovered and swamped by disenchanted dnb/fidget/breaks/etc dudes but for now it's just another great entry in the secret 'Beavis & Butthead do house' canon

know about "Model", didn't bring it up due to its slightness :\

this is tops btw - rtc maybe you know what's the "feel the energy rush" track 10 mins in?

i do not :(

difficult one to place too, "feel the energy rush" is an old sample, not quite sure if it's in the bigtunes nexus even

funky hedz will know this as "sunday roasting" and yes the likelihood of jackin succumbing to it in the next year has def been on my mind

http://soundcloud.com/bekai-productions

particularly occurred to me listening to brent kilner's new stuff, check the dread tag "heavy jackin" :O

http://soundcloud.com/bekai-productions/brent-kilner-jordan-hey-sick

although this one is actually pretty tuff tbh

might even release it on my daringly innovative new label that i shall call "slight nugs" what do yall think

we should make sure to keep an eye on jackin market penetrations

chris gresswell is signed to mike delinquent's new label

hannah wants 'none a dem'/'dappy' coming out on shadow child and kry wolf's new label

uh dj naughty playing linkoban/shorterz, think skream & benga might have played some bits too

anything else

"Naughty Good Girl" and "Model" to be released on Amine Edge's new label

Ben UFO filched 'none a dem' off the dissensus thread, didn't seem very interested in any the other stuff posted on there though. That sort of attitude mystifies me tbh. Like, thats a killer track but what makes it stand out from all the other countless bangers Lorenzo's been involved in?

btw Isn't Naughty good girl already out? Or at least leaked, I've got a copy of it anyway but honestly don't remember where I got it.

this just in
https://soundcloud.com/mikedelinquent/bass-education-vol-1-mixed-by

"None a Them" has a trippy tech-house feel that's not really commonplace in jackin, not surprising imho that a dj into that sort of thing could fall for it while being completely indifferent to "No Diggity", "Coke Diet" et al

"Naughty Good Girl" has been available for a few months now but only on bigtunes and is afaik the first jackin tune to get a re-release on a proper label (with a physical release too, maybe, perhaps?)... don't have a grasp on the label politics of jackin tbh but what i did notice is that bigtunes doesn't have a label category *at all*, it's all non-label releases and stuff that gets released on labels is usually sold elsewhere (Sleepin' Is Cheatin' catalog available on beatport but not on bigtunes for example)

"Erotic City" is fab, Lorenzo + Tom Something seems to be the winning combination atm

I shouldn't love "Coke Diet" as much as I do...

[hessle abuse redacted]

can't say i have too much time for mike delinquent as a dj (obv much love for productions) and that mix shares the vaguely nicheless and frankly remedial air of so much of the ldn urban interpretation right now

afaik anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBPF6ZV1NXs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMvpgznbnnc

time for a moda interlude bitches. fiyahh

I'm more surprised than anything.. I absolutely loathed the N.E.R.D. song. "Coke Diet" is ridiculous though.

Also enjoying right now:
everything Hannam does as Neeko (please release this stuff!)
Chris Gresswell - Deep Love
Hannah Wants & Lorenzo - I Still Love You (wow!)
Brent Kilner - Narcotics
Paul Lawrence - Everywhere I Turn
Billy Kenny's Diamond Rings refix.
Nick Hannam - Serious
Cavna & Chris Gresswell - When I Move

not sure i really get the big dealio with the neeko stuff, hannam distinguishes himself on so many fronts but not so much with the regular house imo

also you subconsciously think the alias is gonna invoke some nookie or more fire crew vibes but no

"Naughty Good Girl" and "Model" to be released on Amine Edge's new label

ah, the french, the eternal question... do they count. 'goodie goodies' was a fun jam last year, sorta funny they've gone for 'naughty good girl' in that respect with all the trap rap jackin leanings around

props to me for putting a load of bouncy rap house on my interzone moodboard ages ago btw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deKWO3IGtpc

my #1 Amine jam

You'd consider his Neeko stuff regular house?

I've only heard three of his Neeko productions (Lie to You, People Outside, and the Biggie sampling one). Part of why I like them so much is that to my ears they have a rougher, more nervous, rushy energy than some of his other productions. That, and I'm a genuine sucker for some of the acapellas that he's using.

regular as in not far dissimilar to popular deep-not-deep hot creay/maceo plex/whatever stuff yeah

I can see that, yeah. I can hear a lot of that sound in jackin overall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv_O_JrCkDE

it's fun to look at it from the pseudo other side as well, like i mean if i said to you caddyshack sample + zombie drop then jackin would very much be your guess

but yeah, jackin protagonists' unusual fluency (as dj/producer/consumers) in general dance dialects gives a simultaneous precariousness and surety to the music that keeps it massively engaging

It took me literally 3 seconds to fall in love with this. Those strings!

yeah it really reminds me of like trc, screama, emvee etc breezily switching codes from bassline to funky to wherever else and back

maybe i'm belabouring the point but it gives a real sense of a pure elemental musical fluidity, something that kind of transcends the more studious evolutions of historical nuum-y ldn stuff idk

i guess this is what i mean about jackin's precariousness/assurance binary, they're not beholden to following a scenius muse like the funky lot were, they can and will make whatever they feel the need to, whatever the moment demands, and because their only concern is with what works there's the necessary guarantee of expert calibration... but at some point the jackin tribe will just shrug and abruptly melt off into the next vibe

the ldn scene in comparison is a lot more tidal and right now you could say it's still in an ebb phase, still absorbing. so you'll get all these uninspired genre-aping wannabe tech-house mixes doomed to forever be pathetically poor relations, or mishmash mixes with 'au seve' bunged in somewhere that don't quite grasp anything yet, or whatever

rambling-ass generalisations itt

http://soundcloud.com/scottmusik/djscottie_d-down-funkfactory

like remember scotty d? awesome uk funky scotty d? yeah this is him now...

In Thailand so not really keeping up with the links but that rambling ass post feels
OTM.

One of the problems with LDN is that it feels much more self-conscious at the moment, everyone tries to be a 'proper' (insert) for better or (almost always) worse.

if you can get funkystepz 'lovers' for xmas why couldnt i have screama / phe phe 'never say bye' :(

Still a classic!

woah that Scotty D is very much in the vein of all that Ave a Word/Audio Rehab/shape cutting/shuffling stuff thats about. It suits him though. I mean stuff like this

lol and not two days later what do i see but dissensus man dem bugging out over a brent kilner sunday roaster

http://i.imgur.com/K7URS.png

haha maybe it is a bit like that but I like that one, wouldn't want all jackin to sound like that though. Who is this brent kilner chap anyway?

dunno, just some guy i think

it's not a bad tune, none of his are, but how many times does techstep have to happen? vigilance people

eh it always happens sooner or later no matter how vigilant any one of us is, i'm just enjoying it all while i can

"Jeans" is wonderful! not much about its cut-up vox screams 'Todd' to me but otoh it's another great C&A one-off - i've heard a fair amount of trad jackin' house and yet i couldn't name a single tune that brings the glitz and friskiness of 2step in a remotely similar fashion

http://soundcloud.com/tuffculture

on a ukg tip i'm liking this guy's stuff a fair bit lately, little bits of artful/mj/todd/sunship in there but feeling a lot fresher than the usual revival business imo

http://soundcloud.com/output-production/aluna-george-ykyli-b15-project

alunageorge on the r&b thread made me get back into this b15 project remix of them from a year or so ago, so effortlessly vintage wonderful and underrated even in these striated times! did they really just pop back up for this thing after a decade and disappear again?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6ofj3gqfY8

Kinda miss that fucked up swing from this thread early on.

New DJ Q is wicked too

https://soundcloud.com/localactionrecords/dj-q-trust-again-feat-louise

Karl ‘Tuff Enuff’ Brown remix is a beast as well.

yeah anywhere around i can hear those remixes? i tried and failed

only really find uttu etc worthwhile when q's articulating tbh, don't really bubble on their own. mista men i p much don't care for no matter who's selecting

by which i basically mean it's alright having a fucked up swing if youre a regular swing ninja too, otherwise step off

jesus christ can i just exclaim for the record how much ridiculously great music is getting produced these days??!

indeed :)

what are your fave bubblers atm Tracer?
