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

I could have just linked to this comment for the 15 July set

Giles Dickerson at 3:16:
I love a DJ that can slam the dance floor and still keep it tastefull and smart. Nailed it.

but i guess I had to work it out for myself.

how does tim make his corrections sound all encouraging and shit, this is what i'm trying to work out rn

Oh go on, I can take it.

maybe hot haus isn't really in the interzone at all apart from trumpet & badman - it's just house - but it feels informed by it

actually shit, i don't know, some of it is TOTALLY interzone - the label houses enough variety to not be able to pin down (tick VG obv)

idk tbph trace i would say u have maybe tied yourself up in knots better off cut than untangled

i mean i could spend the next day or seven illustrating on the blackboard a spirograph galaxy of venn diagrams of intersecting interzones representing my personal interpretation of what a gwan ecologically but really it's not like that... they're not lawless "whee my spotify playlist is real life it's gr8 being bourgeois" zones but nor are they set in heavy stone to tie yourself to and jump in the river with either

as far as this specific thread remit goes i swear to god ppl u could literally have called it "rolling bits annie mac takes a shine to (some of which that end up charting)" and it would have done the job fine

yeah. it's funny to me how quickly my own interzone interests have changed - i'm vastly less interested in the purringly professional manifestations of bass-house these days for some reason - your gorgon cities and redlights and koves and kidnap kids. i don't know why. it doesn't feel like it's really gone anywhere too interesting, when for a coupla months it felt like it could go anywhere. for awhile i felt like jackin was the other pole to that, the balancing weight, but hearing all this hot haus stuff, with its sleeve graphics that look like they're made by somebody's cousin who says he knows how to do graffiti and their kind of loosey gooseyness, well, that can be another

i was gonna post this in the house/techno thread then i thought it might actually appeal here more

just obsessive

too poppy for this thread?

Mike Mago ft. Dragonette "Outlines"

given that the thread title references a song that went to No.1 in the uk charts i'd say it's hard to be too poppy here! however.... the recent incursions of oliver heldens and spinnin' records does mark a shift from the black butter/pmr axis of yore. i think the only rule probably, my ontological prevarication upthread notwithstanding, is that if you think it's interzone, it's interzone

lol rtc i imagine you with that image on speed-dial, blasting fools daily

yasss (min)

he should still put out the og as an answer record for the g-house lads tho

So I'm maybe two-thirds of the way through the (really quite underwhelming) Gorgon City and it's kinda lol but mostly sad how effortlessly Jennifer Hudson outclasses everyone else here. It's not even the quality of her voice (although that's obviously better) but just a matter of knowing how to sing over a house track, and when to work with and against the beat. When you hear Maverick Sabre and the people I assume are the fast-tracked music industry class of 2015 over this stuff it's obvious they have no real ear for it at all.

Ready For Your Love is still a jam though.

yeah it's difficult to overstate my boredom with gorgon city these days :(

the album is tremendously unexciting

krystal klear and yasmin back with a banger

bloody hell thought this had been and gone but apparently it only properly came out this weekend! gr8 track, best in class

idg how these re-releases work, ministry are putting tchami 'promesses' out again (with extra verses tbf) 4th january 2015 which is like at least 18 months of being rinsed and on sale to all

don't doubt it'll smash #1 but still

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcAFww0E0Pg

this (ft yasmin, album otherwise terrible) is p nice

[mnek side-eye]

Lol at that Billon video clip, esp when the girl silently mouths "what the fuck..."

oh THAT's what that song is, re: billon

tuliesza is a good look for her

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIvKgPOwrig

better than every kiesza follow-up that people have bizarrely trying to make happen in the kiesza thread. let a one-hit wonder be a one-hit wonder!

No Enemiesz is the first decent Kieszsa followup, though the product placement in the video is rather offputting.

oooh i like this:

lol this tat is getting bigger and bigger

i keeps on listening to it now tho #derp

more constructive than maybe ppl tweeting majestic's ukg show requesting deekline 'sexy cinderella' cos it reminds them of the funfair. actually that's p great idk what i'm saying any more

kinda lol i said this earlier today cos this thing is totally that magical ice rink / bowling lanes phenomenology where all chart music sounds at its absolute very best

reminds me that the last time i was at rowans in goonerland (this was within the last couple of years) they were playing soul for real 'candy rain' in the arcades!! candy fucking rain!!!!

they'll never clear this sample anyway tho surely

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozx898ADTxM

feel like i should hate this but..... don't

for some reason i'm surprised uk pop charts are still this classically house-y (correct me if i'm wrong)

i guess this maybe belongs in the tropical house thread

you should definitely hate that :(

help me decide if i like this or nah

revolting

hehe, it is kind of revolting

somehow i've completely missed all lead-in singles to the rudimental album which is currently #1 in the UK

has anyone heard it? did they make another baby / spoons / waiting all night?

i have too, i think it's because they've been pretty unmemorable

The new Rudimental stuff has disappointed me even more than the new Disclosure stuff.

I have no interest in hearing either but I assume Rudimental have been trawling it around the festival set like a military campaign.

The first Disclosure and Rudimental albums felt perfectly timed, they both hit at the crest of a wave, a moment that's gone now. What I've heard from both suggests that they get less and less enjoyable the more they try and broaden their appeal.

A post to note that A*M*E of "Need U" repute is now making music under the name KABBA and has released her first EP: https://open.spotify.com/album/3gzZEIjvV8djfkYG1z4Pk8

She's called Duke Dumont out for his fuckery so don't expect that team up to happen again:

. @DukeDumont do me a favour and keep my name out of your mouth please. I saw the Music Week write up, you sir are a liar and you’re disrespectful. 2013 was a long time ago my guy, let it fucking go! You didn’t even get my name right!

— KABBA (@kabbaofficial) December 20, 2019

.@DukeDumont I was not enthused to write to your loop but I asked my friend to write the song with me and together we scored you your only number 1 record and a Grammy nomination. Instead of thanking us you’ve been nothing but shady & rude all these years.

— KABBA (@kabbaofficial) December 20, 2019

.@DukeDumont I could go on and on but I’ve been nothing but respectful and sweet to you (as I try to be with everyone) why you felt you needed to be so shady and blatantly rude baffles my spirit. Give it a rest & enjoy the PRS. Happy holidays!

so many disappeared youtube upthread :[

so what's the story here?
