not sure about that one... a touch rote

http://soundcloud.com/itsyasmin/thinking-about-you-whitney

someone should really have insisted on whacking an 'intentions'-style garage drop into this

Both of these are lovely!

The Riton really makes explicit how the Skream boogie maneuvers fit in within this broader divepool-house sound

(and which sound is a really good look for Ill Blu, esp. after their recent distressing excursions into tasteful seriousness)

Tim F, Friday, 14 June 2013 21:53 (ten years ago) link

cba to listen again now but iirc wasnt 'me x u (plastik cups)' at the end of ill blu's xlr8r set somewhat in this vein

r|t|c, Friday, 14 June 2013 21:56 (ten years ago) link

Yes in the sense of being straight house with yearning vocals - still more in their prior metallic throb sonic mode though whereas this is a full blown embrace of current trends.

Tim F, Friday, 14 June 2013 21:59 (ten years ago) link

By recent distressing excursions into tasteful seriousness I mean that EP they put about six months ago

Tim F, Friday, 14 June 2013 22:01 (ten years ago) link

ah right yes that seems more likely. clearly i must have mentally tagged it with 'spoons'

r|t|c, Friday, 14 June 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link

Thats the best Ill Blu tune I've heard for ages. I predict Fuzzy Logik will crop up again in this thread before the year's out (fingers crossed).

Not pop-house, but Black Butter signing Scrufizzer is a good look. Is this track produced by Funkystepz?

Re: Heartlight (many posts back), I find myself agreeing with

I think this is pretty fucking cool to be honest.

It's really hard for me to see A*M*E and not think African Methodist Episcopal.

So... it's more direct than regular deep house, or something?

I'm "latching onto" UK dance pop.

_Rudipherous_, Thursday, 20 June 2013 21:41 (ten years ago) link

This mix really drives the point home. I'm a believer. (Actually I don't think it has anything to do with "belief.")

_Rudipherous_, Friday, 21 June 2013 04:46 (ten years ago) link

Really, what the fuck is going on over there?

Rudiphmental Remix (_Rudipherous_), Friday, 21 June 2013 04:52 (ten years ago) link

Or did it happen in my head?

Rudiphmental Remix (_Rudipherous_), Friday, 21 June 2013 04:53 (ten years ago) link

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is only a hallucination.

Saturday in the dance field at Glastonbury, across two adjacent stages - AlunaGeorge -> Bashmore -> Mistajam -> Rudimental -> Disclosure -> Maceo Plex -> Hot Natured. It's like they read this thread while programming it.

Matt DC, Friday, 21 June 2013 12:21 (ten years ago) link

p sure they can gauge the uniformly huge popularity of those artists by themselves bro, it's not like they're music journalists or anything

r|t|c, Friday, 21 June 2013 12:43 (ten years ago) link

They have historically been terrible at filling those stages, it's usually a Fatboy Slim/Carl Cox back to back preceded by I dunno Talib Kweli or someone.

Matt DC, Friday, 21 June 2013 12:46 (ten years ago) link

Lulu James's "Closer" is so good and I don't know how I miss it the first time around. It's not that subtle.

Rudiphmental Remix (_Rudipherous_), Friday, 21 June 2013 14:44 (ten years ago) link

still can't get over the fact she's from South Shields.

This new one is quite excellent

ooh these lil scamps, i just dunno. i definitely like the way they make me not know though

like the trigger finger's trembling on ikea music but they're way too bright and careful to brusquely lump into that twee morass

r|t|c, Saturday, 22 June 2013 12:38 (ten years ago) link

i mean the video sure don't help. but then why should they pretend otherwise

r|t|c, Saturday, 22 June 2013 12:39 (ten years ago) link

This new one is quite excellent

Have to agree with that immediately.

Rudiphmental Remix (_Rudipherous_), Saturday, 22 June 2013 13:37 (ten years ago) link

I can't make my mind up about clean bandit either. I'm glad they're on the label though. LOVE Nightingale though.

err...slightly spammy and tangential to this thread, but this is a sort of follow up to the house pop mix (i.e., lots of black butter but the much harder and bassier stuff mixed with garage).

Not really feeling that Ill Blu but I'm putting that down to the vocals rather than the groove. It's still a good look for them, I keep forgetting that before all the storming beat-em-up soundtracks they could put out a tune like 'Say Yes'.

The Riton/Meleka tune is terrific though.

Matt DC, Saturday, 22 June 2013 18:35 (ten years ago) link

this would be a felicitous time for t williams to start banging them out, the ejeca/warehouse urban undercurrent marries well with his otherwise usually untempting stiffness. vibe to keep an eye on

i'd been pondering a small investment in this one

r|t|c, Wednesday, 26 June 2013 17:04 (ten years ago) link

One of the big things that's killing me about this wave of UK dance pop is how much of it has really good tunes, simply really good tunes. (OK carry on with your more expert conversations.)
