i think there's a sense of space in disclosure's productions that codes very dubstep to me
yeah the first 30 secs of the new track w/eliza doolittle keep making me think my itunes has skipped to some random forgotten post-dubstep ep from 2007 - as rtc says disclosure are slightly different though, they started off as "garage revival tailored to fact magazine et al" so their positioning has always been slanted to that end of things (as opposed to duke dumont who's been a jobbing house dj/producer for ages, and hot creations who didn't really catch on first among that crowd)

relistening to the new disclosure and i am just not 100% on board with them yet apart from "white noise", there's just something something lacking here
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:04 (ten years ago) link
this shift k3y you posted in the q thread def belongs itt imo, 'frozen' too
haha "frozen" reminds me of rihanna's "jump" in its shamelessness

"latch" and "white noise" are worth all the hype imo... other stuff is a bit hit or miss. "you & me" is not on that level, tho it's pretty enjoyable.
i'm really excited for that album tho, tons of potential for it to do a bunch of things and be really, really good
they're also great live

i doubt it'll be bad but at this point i'd say the rudimental album will probably be more of a rush
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:16 (ten years ago) link
tend to think of the malinchak as being part of a different stream to this stuff, could be convinced otherwise though

i also much prefer the zinc mix and its weirdly witty engrossing flip into ominous non-drop
(and the mk mix but that goes as standard for 2013)

xp Yes, Disclosure are fantastic live, with excellent visuals (custom-made kit) and live instrumentation - saw them supporting SBTRKT in early 2011, then headlining a couple of months ago, to a young, mainstreamy-type crowd (the girls dancing next to me kept giving me odd looks, then one asked if I "was on a night out"). And they certainly come across as older than their years. "Latch" is the only track I can't get behind, probably because it's less of a glide and more of a march.

chris malinchak feels a lot more in the line of mano le tough or wolf & clap or something? idk wtf it's doing going to the top of the charts

rudimental is maybe a bit too far on the "could do a lot of things" side for me
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:31 (ten years ago) link
i guess i'm struggling to see why disclosure particularly stand out, apart from what they do visually and live
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:33 (ten years ago) link
i think they have pretty strong pop instincts and a devotion to verse-chorus songwriting
which is not a virtue in of itself necessarily (tho it plays to my personal biases)

is this the original version of "it's you": San Soda's Panorama Bar Acca Version
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 24 April 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link
yes
this is the exact thing i think rudimental do a lot better though (and what i think is lacking from "you & me")

I still haven't taught myself to associate Rudimental with anything other than

FWIW I think Rudimental are a lot closer to the core of what we're talking about than Disclosure are. Not necessarily sonically but by providing a musical and commercial platform for other artists.
I was kind of sniffy about Feel The Love when it first came out but soon succumbed, got to give them credit for pulling off one of those rare pop tricks that makes you wonder why people having been hitting big with it for years.

God that Chris Malinchak track is so emotionally overbearing, it's like he took a John Talabot template and added a big dose of neediness. There's something kind of 1999 about its particular brand of drippiness.

the zinc "lol u gonna get dumped" foreboding interpretation

I was going to say that Zinc was the perfect producer to jump on this particular bandwagon, momentarily forgetting he sort of helped start it a couple of years back.

"Intentions" is lovely. The speed garage break is huge.

All of this has made me feel sad about RD's "Got Me Burning" not taking off substantially.
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 28 April 2013 19:05 (ten years ago) link
RIGHT?!
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Sunday, 28 April 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
interesting point of comparison (esp so wrt the forthcoming katy b lp in this climate). even though the og mk 'burning' is so spot on right now (and would probably go top 20 today) i think the rd version would still code too specifically urban as it did in 2011 to really gain any purchase
another good ref point for this is ts7 & taylor fowlis 'heartlight' which trace suggested upthread; seems like it should be exactly zeitgeist right, and yet still has a grain to it that prevents it transcending into the frictionless pop sphere

you know who i particularly hope goes in this direction? (the thread direction, not this poor tragic ginnel we've stumbled down.) MISHA B
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Sunday, 28 April 2013 20:54 (ten years ago) link
idk about misha but we could head to the light at the end of the... ginnel... with wretch 32/shakka 'blackout' or kwabs 'spirit fade'
i'm not entirely sure if and how those quite fit in but they're certainly not being spat out by the wider world either, doing very well indeed
― r|t|c, Sunday, 28 April 2013 21:09 (ten years ago) link
altho a cynic (looks round shiftily) might suggest shakka sounds like vampire weekend and kwabs like james blake so bobs ur uncle

So yeah this Rudimental album is pretty good but suffers a bit from favouring jump-up Britsoul almost entirely over MCs (Angel Haze excepted), so while there's loads of great stuff on there the overall effect is a bit Grange Hill rave. Also TWO tracks featuring Emeli Sande ffs, as if there's a human being alive on the planet right now that is suffering from insufficient Emeli Sande in their life.
The best tracks are fantastic but I dunno, needs a bit more ruff to go with the smooth. Basically what I am getting at is 'why have you forsaken Shantie?' ;_;

The Sande track is one of the few decent songs on the new wiley album.

Ella Eyre did a much better job on Sande's "Free" when I saw them live last week. They should have kept it in-house!
