Duke Dumont and A*M*E - Need U (100%) - Rolling UK dance pop interzone thread

see he's back to channelling dizzee there. disturbingly uncannily too

good though, as is the mix. thing with monetizing scru is he is ultimately a spitter not a songwriter and therefore an instrument for trax. HOWEVER THOUGH do my ears deceive me or is that him singing a hook very decently on the last track?? now we're talking

in fairness he does just seem like a very absorbent chap in a very genuine inadvertent way, it doesnt come off like gimlet-eyed mimicry at all

his flirta d glossolalia moments are also spot on

produced by zed bias btw

suppose now would be the time to give this its long-deserved mention

someday i would like to know exactly how c4 obtained a recording of my inner monologue and turned it into an indifference ftw summer jam

^ yeah s'alright that

i posted the original version of this somewhere earlier. it was a hit as an instrumental in some parts of europe and i guess now with these added vocals they are trying to reach the uk audience.

Cool vid.

grime producer goes house to superb, lightly drifting effect. it really is the spirit of uk funky back again

Not sure if this *quite* belongs here but this has the feel of a top ten hit in the making:

in at #12

quite like the pillowy synths here https://soundcloud.com/luxurymusicuk/j-a-w-s/s-LgVfW

A cursory glance at the Top 10 this week suggests our summer-long mini golden age would appear to have been btrampled underfoot by hegemonic forces brutally reasserting themselves.

yes this little mayfly met its exquisite destiny some months ago

is it just me or can anyone else feel something deep under the earth, an almost noiseless tectonic shift, that guetta-pop and harris-ified "decadent" club bangers are already more than halfway to naff and will soon be the stuff of nose-scrunching reminisces on late-night TV

i just realised that actually they've all just been hibernating, their minds busy plotting, planning

What a stunning collection of pure art to celebrate 2013 and where we are going together as one society and one world!

well said, elephunkgolf29, well said

this excloose on there is fiyah btw

Haven't heard a Lulu James song yet in 2013 that I don't like.

i was fairly surprised that 'step by step' seemed to fall through the cracks... got a couple of radio plays but no one really ran with it

http://soundcloud.com/walter-ego/sets/lulu-james-step-by-step-walter/

walter ego's mix very much worth checking also

i definitely ran with "step by step" on a personal fav level

http://www.capitalxtra.com/radio/coco-cole/recently-played/sunday-13th-october-2013/

not that anyone here will likely give a monkeys but black butter associate coco cole has a show on fake 1xtra, standardish selection on first squiz

feel that black butter is a salient vector into the debate about the fall of choice fm/commerce/interzones/marginalisation/"blue collar" conservative defensivism blah blah

lulu james too in a way perhaps

dunno if this fits in the thread but I'm kinda faded and my roomie was playing this over and over last week and now I'm obsessed

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XDxeugnRQLo&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXDxeugnRQLo

trippin off that sherm huh

that annie mac mix really is just...hit after hit, totally shameless and necessary for every house party this winter

(obv remember to delete the james blake though, don't want that nasty surprise at the end, no sir)

do you like that cyril hahn then! i like that cyril hahn. ~ i'm so tongue, tied ~

i would mainly be wanting to hear 'bassline' this winter. someone should make a whigfield style dance for it in fact

now i'm flicking thru it again 'the renegade' sounds bizarrely way more xmas festive than it was summery

actually no i posted before the hahn, on the second half now and actually i think that's where it all started to tail off. it's not as terrible as i expect from him i guess, it's adequate. new-to-me amazing were "bassline", "the show", the breach/triana one...actually in the second half the new kidnap kid and lulu james ones are v sweet

"the renegade" made me irl lol, just...of course

while we're on the subject of hahn and his ilk, and because he happily doesn't get actual traction on ilx, i'll just say this here: BUN RYAN HEMSWORTH

a friend described them both as "dance game macklemore" to me at the weekend, lol

These Ben Pearce lyrics are pretty rapey:

It was drinking time, getting out of line
And I'm taking you back to your place
All is well and all is cool
Stay in your place, don't be no fool
Get along alright
You look like the type that would try to fight
Best off being a friend to me
You don't want to offend me
Better play it cool, don't know what I might do

(Grabbed these online, so I can't vouch for their absolute accuracy, but this sounds about right.)

we fucking w/ the new gorgon city & MNEK?

I have been caning Kove's 'Love For You', lately. It's basically three hugely obvious reference points thrown together but it's also completely banging:
