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

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2013 18:50 (ten years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Saturday, 12 October 2013 19:48 (ten years ago) link

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

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

r|t|c, Sunday, 13 October 2013 08:59 (ten years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Sunday, 13 October 2013 09:04 (ten years ago) link

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

trippin off that sherm huh

r|t|c, Sunday, 20 October 2013 07:05 (ten years ago) link

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)

lex pretend, Monday, 28 October 2013 18:57 (ten years ago) link

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

r|t|c, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:12 (ten years ago) link

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

lex pretend, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link

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

lex pretend, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link

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.)

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:

Bumping to draw attention to this as the current thread for this sort of thing (since I just linked to the 2012 one by accident).

_Rudipherous_, Saturday, 25 January 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link

the gorgon city/mnek single is out tomorrow. i am a fan.

the zinc's been around for a while but it's a totally underrated grower... a lot of this sort of stuff can seem like its smoothly on rails (bom bom bom shadow child drop fatigue prevented me succumbing to the gorgon city mnek for some time) but whoever that vocalist is has a real ragged winsome need that cuts through to the heart ("I WANT YOU SO BAD" startlingly grabbing you by the lapels just when you assume it's looping back round)

r|t|c, Friday, 7 February 2014 11:43 (ten years ago) link

post clean bandit prim popjustice comfort zoning is prob the great trap with this stuff now basically, unabashed urgency required

r|t|c, Friday, 7 February 2014 11:52 (ten years ago) link

it's a dialectic!! and i feel like hannah wants is the bellwether for it.

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 7 February 2014 13:05 (ten years ago) link

like, as go her monthly mixes so goes the destiny of this particular sound

just waiting for the manservant to fetch my uk funky gatekeeper ceremonial robes from storage before i respond to that

r|t|c, Friday, 7 February 2014 22:12 (ten years ago) link

really enjoying that jakwob track.

oppet, Sunday, 9 February 2014 15:40 (ten years ago) link

i bought a box of neurofen plus and a box of alka seltzer in a pharmacy a couple of weeks ago that was completely empty and the woman behind the counter was standing really still and quietly listening to this song at full volume

plax (ico), Sunday, 9 February 2014 21:25 (ten years ago) link

see if i had any real faith in ilm i'd ask for a thread of suchlike circumstantial poetics

fwiw this week's effort from myself is i was in a pub (again but poncy this time) and boc 'roygbiv' soundtracked a bunch of thirty something girls having a post-work pre-friday night festivities natter about whether they should go home and get changed first. felt unprecedentedly correct of course

r|t|c, Sunday, 9 February 2014 21:36 (ten years ago) link

i have an experiment for the above haplessly enthusiastic tracer hand

http://youtu.be/4BQjK2jS7jE

iyo does this track, taken from a recent hannah wants mix, fit into the remit of this thread

r|t|c, Sunday, 9 February 2014 21:43 (ten years ago) link

maybe superficially but there's a kind of outsider witch-house broken feeling to it that makes me say no.

lol @ "haplessly enthusiastic" - my epitaph, if ever i had one

fact fans will have noticed that clean bandit is No.1 in the uk pop charts for the third straight week now. CLEAN effing BANDIT. i mean..!

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 10 February 2014 10:05 (ten years ago) link

and i have to say that "rather be" is a mite prim but i do like it. it certainly doesn't feel like a No.1 to me though, more like an unexpected side D cut from a back to mine album that temporarily cuts through the murk.

if "I Got U feat. Jax Jones" DOESN'T actually say "takin' drugs all night" during the chorus i'll eat my hat

sorry, "takin' drugs all right" i mean
