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

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:

oh nice

katy b covered "so good to me" and you can hear it in the second half of this soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/katyb/sets/capital-xtra-acoustic-session/s-LtmEG

straying a bit here but do any of you guys fuck with the big chase & status singles? i like "lost & not found" a good bit

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).

Redlight feat. Lotti - 36

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)

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

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

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

really enjoying that jakwob track.

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

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

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

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..!

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.

Cheap Picasso - Don't Play Around
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_oM65OTMUo

starting to feel a bit by-numbers?

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

whoa i had no idea this song existed

so tropical! jeez

is talabot getting royalties off this

wholly nonplussed yet again by associations of blissed out happy goosebump chill with talabot. spose this actually admittedly does have the same sound palette if not intention tho

quality choon anyway but continues to leave me strangely unmoved idk

that cheap picasso is indeed p hilarious now trace has pointed it out

went a-searching for "clean bandit name generator" anon but google lets me down

New Kidnap Kid: "Stronger", following further in the footsteps of "Thin Lines". No Clean Bandit trajectory for him, that's for sure.

Klingande - Jubel (Friend Within Remix)

so sam smith 'money on my mind' set to succeed clean bandit as #1 this week

it would seem a breakbeat and a horrifying nuclear reactor meltdown klaxon chorus was all terius' verses ever needed

really up til now i'd not been partic cognizant of this success and just assumed it was just the mk mix that was killing it, guess i must be out of the loop somewhat

wonder if it's taking advantage of a détourned appeal like kendrick 'swimming pools' did. like do punters perhaps wave £20 notes to this at weatherspoons in converted bank premises

having a brit song (however lightly) about money in the charts is pleasing to the 86-93 moodboard i spose

That Sam smith song is really shit imo. Think they're trying to turn him into the dude Sandé

kicking your career off with a meta protest-too-much song about signing your major label contract is a bit much

it brought to mind jessie j, not sandé

i like this!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RcbQdKeSRs

that "36" is a bit of alright

raekwon's gonna be on that ep too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iLCqGlfEcE

is "givin' it up" about an abortion?!

i think "nirvana" is the good sam smith solo song but i could be mistaken

after watching the brit awards tho i don't see how he's materially different than john newman or tom odell aside from having an early disclosure cosign which gives him the veneer of being more cool than those dudes

but aesthetically it's the same shit
