Rollo Jackson, the guy who did that Tape Crackers doc on the old Jungle pirate radio stuff has done another ting. This time about the legendary DJ Slimzee, a man sadly forgotten about way too much nowadays, but I remember him being an absolute don way back when. http://vimeo.com/109801766 He did the third - and last sadly - Bingo Beats mix which I remember picking up at the time and it barely leaving my cd player for loving ages. Luckily for yous who don't have the actual CD some kind soul has put it up on Youtube, so take a gander and feel. Any heads want a real shiny plastic disc version you should be able to get it off Amazon or ebay for a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJjO07xOpGs

Regularly does stuff with the Boxed folks. Anyways, I need to check that film so thanks for the reminder.

On a contemporary speed garage tip I have not been able to get enough 90s Jeremy Sylvester lately. Unbelievably prescient - he was the exact bridge between Grant Nelson and Steve Gurley - introducing more abstracted sonic elements and 'ruffness' (for lack of a better word) to the garage template, with hints of the haunted, deep, dubbed-out sparseness of 2-step and dubstep to come. All while still retaining the color and playfulness of NY/NJ Garage. So much to prowl through, too. He was as prolific as Todd Terry, with as many aliases. Astounding quality control considering.

Why is distinguishing music in this way stupid? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5tCY5i4WIA e; \/\/ I agree and it's annoying to try to ignore genres. I don't think the genre of the song I made is "underground dance music," it's just house/deep house. I am wanting to classify it as part of underground dance music because it has certain elements that are common throughout many genres and tracks that I perceive are not commercial dance music, and I wanted to make that distinction because I don't feel like earlier tracks I made really were about the long-term groove and I was excited about making something that I could compare to something like Jamie Jones (of course I'm still terrible in comparison). I guess if you put all electronic music on a scale of accessibility, in general what I consider underground would for the most part occupy the bottom half. I think telling people the genre of your music is underground would be obnoxious. I also think it's possible to distinguish the commercial scene vs. non-commercial and discuss characteristics about both types of groupings of music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdHjlISsA-c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSR3jNZBZlo pps.

Guys I've been on a huge bassline/jackin house/niche/speed garage/whatever the gently caress else you call it kick recently, I can't get enough of that poo poo. Unfortunately Houston, TX is apparently the wrong side of the pond. Is this the right thread to ask for recommendations on record labels to look into? I've pretty much just been jamming out on the bassline station on di.fm and mixupload.com, but I know there's got to be more out there. Specifically any mixes/podcasts/etc that I could actually download so I can bang that poo poo on my over the top car system instead of pissing off my neighbors would be tops, but I'll take pretty much any recommendations. Also I'm kinda sad this scene never took off over here, but I'm sure we'd have ruined it anyways.

Specifically any mixes/podcasts/etc that I could actually download so I can bang that poo poo on my over the top car system instead of pissing off my neighbors would be tops, but I'll take pretty much any recommendations. With Bassline it didn't use to matter which side of the pond you were on. That was probably one of the last true regional micro-scenes, 99% of that poo poo never left that whole Yorkshire (Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford etc) area. It was only really when that T2 track broke out that people gave it a brief bit of attention. For the classic mid-00s stuff you had big labels like Ecko, Northern Line, Wideboys' Garage Jams label, Nocturnal, Spoilt Rotten (before that kinda switched to the UK Funky stuff), More 2 Da Floor, the cheeky Juicy Joints stuff. Plus a whole load of things that never made it past CD-R/Digital download stage. Ecko Records store used to and still does, have available a bunch of stuff, and I swear there used to be another big site from back in the day that's just gone from my mind right now (and given it's almost a decade probably gone entirely) A lot of UK Garage releases at that time - pretty much all of which flew under the radar - tended to have a bunch of mixes on them, many of them 4/4 which, while often more Housey sounding, sometimes threw up something that could fit in with that sound. Most of my knowledge of Bassline at the time came from the various CD packs that would always come out. Generic good looking scantily clad model on the cover, 3/4/6CD kind of thing. Like everyones favourite girls, cheap and easy. The Bassline scene kinda merged into the Jackin' stuff, which I'm not super super deep into it. Like I mentioned above Ecko's store has a download section you can try out what's there (I assume it's still all cool at least, not bought anything from there in donkeys). Oh there's also bigtunesmp3.co.uk that does a bunch of Jackin' and Bassline stuff. Need to trawl through crap though. Certified Jackin also has a ton of mixes that'll probably do you too. Though I think a lot of this has ended up kinda merging into the whole Deep Tech sound, though anyone from the sounds heartland will probably be able to prove me wrong and list a bunch of stuff. As for the original Speed Garage, well that's a bit more difficult. Simply way to much stuff released from about '97 to the early 00s to really mention. Especiallly that whole 97/98 period where everything seemed to have some kind of Speed Garage mix on the flip of it, and so many compilations came out. Too many to mention really, though I think I skim the surface of it a wee bit in my guide. Sorry that's not much to go on, but hope it helps.

Steve Spacek has a new album out under the Beat Spacek monitor. Out on Ninja Tune, Modern Streets is an absolutely fantastic sounding record, a real amalgamation of different sounds and styles, though all the ingredients in this great musical soup are relevant to Spacek's background, and of course all with his out-there vocals on top. You can hear the echoes from his work as Africa Hitech, as well as the legacy of the original Spacek work that was done on Island Blue and !K7 as well as his previous solo stuff, but it's also littered with pick ups from Dancehall, Dubstep, Broken Beat/Garage, D&B and I swear some things remind me of a really off leftfield off-kilter Human League or something. True phuturistic electronic soul with it's roots spreading all over every single part of the continuum if you will. And I got to say, how on point has Ninja Tune been over the past year or so. With the exception of the odd thing or two, for the longest time I never used to not really pay too much attention to the label, but the past year or two they've just released belter after belter. Ninja Tune and R&S (which also had such a great year, after since I had thought they'd gone off the boil a wee bit) contributed to a hell of a lot of my Top 10 list for last year. Which was something I really meant to properly write up and post in the relevant year but er... maybe sometime soon.

Like you said not a bad track on it, though the Afronaught and the Mark De Clive-Lowe tracks are just a total double whammy. I put them both up on Youtube ages ago as they were just way too hot not too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtKlO11gN_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpQjVpwHSN0 Also remembered that great Ame remix of Dimensions6 is on it too, though don't think it's my favourite mix, that goes to this one. Another one I had to throw up, total jam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOR7cXtW7_g If you liked that Afronaught track make sure to check out his Hecho En Casa album/comp. Basically the Bugz In The Attic album I wish we had gotten instead of Doghouse. Again it's another one you should be able to get cheaply off Discogs/Ebay/Amazon or wherever.

Yeah that Broken Vibes EP was great. Probably stating the obvious, but just in case you haven't check Taylor McFerrin's LP on Brainfeeder that came out last year. Really great album. Different sorta thing but you can see the threads between the two.

Maybe on the repress or if they stay in stock for a bit. Try checking out this sister label of WhoDemSound, you may dig it. themosthigh001 Also I think Joe was more keen in that interview about supporting artists based in the states compared to european artists than the whole techno thing. Well that's what I took out of it. Like why isn't EshOne on the line up?

EshOne has played Reconstrvct before, Prism has been on the billing before, other US artists I'm not remembering have played before; I mean I think that argument is bullshit too. Has Joe Nice ever given a poo poo where his dubplates are coming from? No, the music dictates what he cuts to vinyl and what he plays. It's not like he's strictly promoted US artists or any kind of poo poo like that, and Reconstrvct hasn't shied away from booking Americans. Really it comes down to Joe's ego and him having to put the event on blast through a VICE Media wing, announcing to the world he's no longer playing. Didn't even given Luke a heads up or speak about the issue, which speaks to me like some personal ego-hurt or whatever. And I disagreed with all his points/think they can be just seen as bullshit. And yeeh always dig whatever J.Robinson is involved in. knox fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Mar 5, 2015 |

I think you could argue that both sides are guilty on the ego aspect, but for the most part, I'm glad community reaction has been level-headed as far as "taking sides" being pointless. Anyone else going to SXSW in a couple weeks? I'm planning to hit the Surefire boat party, RA showcase at Vulcan (the only Funktion Ones in Texas!), and the Sub.mission showcase at Barcelona.
