It's funny because deadmau5 has said essentially the same thing about Threatis and djs in general, probably where the majority of the animosity on Threatis's part stems from:quote:“It puts me to loving sleep to be quite honest, I don’t really see the technical merit in playing two songs at the same speed together and it bores me to loving tears and hopefully with all due respect to the dj type that will loving go the way of the dinosaur id like them to dis-a-loving-pear.Its so middle man,they’re like loving lawyers. You need them, but they’re loving ****s. God bless them they’re my number one customer right so I’m not gonna go diss every loving DJ. But to say you become this massive up on a podium performer by playing other peoples productions at the same speed as someone else’s productions and fading between the two of them, I don’t get it.” -Joel Zimmerman

Now, I don't know if this is the proper place to post this, but I kinda wanted to ask about KW Griff. Does anybody know anything about the guy? I mean, Diplo mentioned a little about him in an interview with Pitchfork, and his Last.fm page just has a picture ( http://www.last.fm/music/KW+Griff ). And I have five of his songs ("TONY'S BACK", "Rock Wid It," "R.E.S.P.E.C.T.," "Footstompin'," and "Good Man") as well as a remix of Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight" that he did with Ayres. He gets played by a ton of people: Crookers, Spank Rock, Diplo, Switch, etc. I wish I knew more.

Apolis posted:care to elaborate? Most DJs have coproducers who stay out of the limelight for various reasons, or songs that are crafted by other producers. Some don't fit the scope of their sound others just wanna get paid for living in studios all day. Every medium of entertainment have such people working in the background. Jay-Z most notably ghostwrote for the chronic 2001. Comedians do this as well. Producers like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis have whole teams assembled to just do research and development on production. quote:When Now-Again scored some license money off a placement in Sex and the City (a track by New Orleans funk band Ernie & the Top Notes from The Funky 16 Corners), Wolf cut Egon in on the Stones Throw side and told him to go do his thing. Within a year Egon had it going strong enough that he wasn't losing money, and within a couple of years Now-Again was doing quite well. "I was not making money-money," he says, "but I was getting to the point where I was dealing with things like the L.A. Carnival getting sampled by Janet Jackson."

incoherent posted:I really REALLY hope that single is not reflective of the album I think they said somewhere that the single they released has been remixed for the album and is less poppy or something. Nonetheless I dug it and am looking forward to the album. Album art looks dope too.

FESS UP I've never been approached to do it - outside of here, twitter, and facebook I don't get around much. Some of the higher profile dudes like Kue and turbo p probably get approached for it all the time. But yes it is prevalent

He's like some type of mysterio to the rest of the world, though. To be honest, bmore's online presence to me is like rummaging through boxes of ancient runes mixed in with a bunch of ads and other nonsense - it seems like there really isn't much save for a couple of blogs and like, two other sites. Unless you know of some way dope sites

Has anybody listened to the new Telefon Tel Aviv song? It's pretty good, it reminds me a little bit of the stuff off of Map of What is Effortless, but it has that darker tone off of Immolate Yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1qmxkunHU

Aah, that weird echo is really dark... and the audio quality doesn't help the muddy sound. Their remix of Apparat's "Arcadia" is awesome -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJFCC5ODS8

I am interested in getting into electronic music. I know about Ishkur's guide to electronic music but I am still not sure what I should try to listen to. I think though that generally I would like to listen to music that is more melodic. What electronic music should I try out that has a more melodic flow to it, as opposed to just constant looped bass and beats that don't have much of a melody to them?

Eat your hearts out discohouse lovers, Yella Finesse is on the scene. He's only 19 but he has tremendous talent and knows how to work the filters. Between him and Leonardus I have been on a huge disco kick lately, and it's been awesome. Try these on for size: Yella Finesse - Knew Disco Yella Finesse - Back To The Dancefloor Yella Finesse & Pardon My French - The Way You Are
