Lex have you heard the Dub Organizer stuff she's done?
― Alex in SF, Friday, 19 June 2009 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link
i've got dub organizer vol 1 - 'dis boy pt 4' is so beautiful. "he says he wants to run away..."

Are they just CD EPs then?
― Alex in SF, Friday, 19 June 2009 16:39 (fourteen years ago) link
i think there's just one, and mine is on cd - it's not even on discogs :/
(is yr clobbersaurus email up to date?)

Yup.
There are three listed on the BM-Soho shop. 4 songs a piece.

Someone should do a cheesy wobbled-up remix of Live to Tell by Madonna. That would be wicked.

Wow, thanks for that, tricky.
Also, nobody's mentioned Tectonic Plates Vol. 2 yet? It's probably the most comprehensive and cohesive dubstep label statement since the early Dubstep Allstars, IMO...

for reasons im not sure i still really like totally generic dubstep like what youngsta was playing on rinse last night.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Friday, 10 July 2009 11:48 (fourteen years ago) link
So does anyone know of that track I requested an ID (Appleblim's Mutek set closer) a kind of beepy synth, arpeggiated, and vocals involving "rising sun". Any insight would be much appreciated.

v unfashionable to say i know but im not very into that joy orbison track. maybe its just over myspace but it just sounds a bit thin. and a bit TOO well produced. polite almost.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 14 July 2009 13:20 (fourteen years ago) link
I think it's nice but not revelatory. If I want that kind of thing I'll listen to "Serious Thugs" or the funky tunes that go for the same vibe. Not that I know their names, only their female vocal samples, being:
- "IT'S the new sound!"- "KEEP'S HAPPENING!"- "ey-EY-ey!"- "... AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU!"
Oh, and Pearson Sound's "Wad" of course, which is at least nominally quasi-dubstep. Apparently Pearson Sound actually is Ramadanman, which doesn't surprise...
― Tim F, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 13:56 (fourteen years ago) link
these should prob go in the "wonky" thread but this one's here and i still don't want to dignify the term "wonky"…but they're absolutely beautiful

Those are great. I like "wonky" that basically sounds like primo grime instrumentals.

have you heard much else by guido and joker, tim?

newish blackdown post that has the internet going macadamias:http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2009/07/where-do-u-call-it.html
lol@this guy in the comments box:"Blood how can you say mainstream dubstep has lost it when Snoop Dogg is all over it?"
blood, thats exactly how.
anyway, i get what mr clark is saying, but i dont really need to ever hear about 'ldn', feminine pressure, the zone of pointless intensification (is that the one?) or any of those things ever again. the sooner bloggers get rid of those phrases the better, no offence. (also see: references to 'wot do u call it'). but then i dont *totally* hate (well not all of it) the stuff i suspect he says is metal step (or maybe i do, not sure - i quite liked spongebob). im not totally sure how you can write off dubstep but not write off grime either, although i can see why a hard to the core dubstepper might. its easier to discard it completely when you love/believe in something so much rather than have an endlessly frustrating relationship to it.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 14 July 2009 14:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Lex, I know most of Joker's "big" tunes ("Gullybrook Lane", "Play Doe", the Kapsize EP, "Holly Brook Park" etc) and really like almost all of them; from Guido I only know the Orchestral Lab 12 inch, which is only alright.
I also love Jack Sparrow's "For Me" in this general vein.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link
"only alright"? the 'orchestral lab' 12" is astoundingly gorgeous, really beautiful.
'digidesign' is the most essential joker track you didn't mention...

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 15:21 (fourteen years ago) link
To be fair I haven't given the Guido enough of a chance, I think a lot of this stuff just makes me want to listen to old Low Deep tracks and other similar grime:

― Tim F, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I think the straightforwardness of the rhythms on the Guido 12 inch made me a bit inclined to underrate it a bit - obv the melodies are very pretty and, um, orchestral. But this stuff usually needs good and interesting rhythm programming to keep me coming back.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 14 July 2009 15:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Tim, yo should def. give the Orch Lab 12" B side, Way You Make Me Feel, another chance.

I heard a great mix by Ben UFO while following links from that Blackdown post, which ended with the Hyphy Mngo song, and I left the mix at work. Anyone know which one I'm talking about and have a link by any chance?

oh god, the sweat/dante sounds sooooooooooooooooooo good listening to it proper on vinyl.
Also, once again: Boxcutter, this guy kills me.
― EDB, Thursday, 23 July 2009 20:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i dont get the point of all these new tunes reworking old 2 step rhythms. that brackles one (lhc?) is quite interesting melody-wise for instance but i wish they came up with something a bit fresher on the rhythmic front. it feels too soon (and obv i know 2 steppy revival beats arent new) to be reviving that already.

yeah i was surprised by that. be interesting to see if it takes off in the states. dunno why US rappers seem more into dubstep than grime beats though.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 19:50 (fourteen years ago) link
no silkie discussion?? it's certainly the best dubstep album that i can think of, i'd worn out his train wreck mix pretty well in the ages it took the album to be released but ive listened to it once a day since buying it last week and the first third of the album in particular is SO good. love all the little details, i swoon at the little 'ha- ha- haahh' three minutes into concrete jungle every time
shame about the bad vinyl pressing!
― lucas pine, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I adore Silkie and fully expect to adore the album but I haven't been able to source a copy yet.

Getting more and more obsessed with Joy Orbison I have to say. Hyph Mngo was a great introduction, but most of the other tracks just sound so, well, complete and timless. Wet Look, Smother, Tentative Bidding all worth a listen.
