Also got the new Blawan single on repeat.

Yeah I love this one onna Todd Edwards vibe. Blawan has such an awesome sense of rhythm - makes sense he is a drummer (i think).

And someone earlier was blaming dizzee for blowing grime open to the top 40 - not quite right when...

It was none other than the godfather himself who opened the door.

28b - you'd love energy flash so much, i reckon it will get a repress soon though, what with his latest book (retromania) out last month, which by the way is really good too. people have been cussing its premise but it is still an amazing history of pop music if nothing else.

hey, thanks for this thread. the "electro/house" thread makes my head hurt. i've been listening to a lot of perc and sigha lately and they're sort of on the edge between techno and dub. anyone else digging that sort of thing?

if you mean actual dub you should go and listen to basic channel/rhythm & sound if you haven't already:

Don't get me wrong I love a good scoff at some bad music but I don't feel like this is the place for it. The quality of discussion here is generally pretty high and I'd rather see people discussing stuff they are enthusiastic about than dragging the tone down by piling on something everyone knows is awful.

I don't see how negativity 'drags down the tone' - a quality discussion should encompass the good and the bad. Not only is that compilation extraordinarily bad, it's clearly a cynical, money-spinning ploy and, as 28gbb said, not without precedent. If anything ruined the last thread it wasn't people posting wobbles or skrillex, it was people arguing about what people should be posting - arguments about the thread rather than the music. In other words THIS.

Dunno if this is relevant but it's an amazing uk garage tune that probably was posted in the previous thread. It's got the greatest bass line I've ever heard.

Anyone know of similiar tunes?

Large Joints - Thinkin'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDq93Q8pdQQ

yea this one is a percy. in a way reconfigures 2-step in a kinda 2009 post dubstep mode, explicitly referencing the implicit strands which runs through the uk dance music.

Also predates this which is on a similar kind of vibe, although more obviously put through the 90s jungle blender

There's plenty of similiar tunes. I remember when someone first posted it up, and they did say it was rare but to be honest it's not really. I can see why people would think that if they're only used to listening to the stuff digitally or via Youtube. On the actual 12" though 80% of the time you'll get the vocal on one half, with the instrumental on the flip. This is more where Dubstep came from, the dub(instrumental) version of 2-step tunes, rather than Dub Reggae(not that that's not an influence). And the vocal/grime obviously spinning off from the A-side.


I think it was me who posted it before. I don't remember saying it was rare but I think I said it was a missing link or something. Basically what I was getting at in the above post - what's notable about it is that it represents a kind of hybrid of styles in a very bait way.

But back to the etymology of Dubstep - I've always subscribed to the above definition, and ultimately I think it's right, but the more I listen to some of those early horsepower releases the more it makes me wonder... I really want to see that mixmag interview with Hatcha though. I wish someone would scan it or something.

Seeing as someone mentioned dubtechno/house I have to post this from the new andy stott ep.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGN2h4pm32w

The rest of the ep is pretty much all like that. lurching house grooves running at sub-dance music tempos with gnarled pitched down vocal snatches and lots of roughed up low frequency noise.

A lot of people seem to be raving about it but it really is pretty great.

I actually probably see just as many dodgy anime girls on videos now than barely clothed girls. It's not like it's a recent invention anyway. Apparently none of them have ever picked up any Ministry Of Sound/Telstar/Hed Kandi/Cream/Ibiza comp from the last 15 years. They've always had the standard good looking lass in a bikini on them. Nevermind the kind of things you used to get on a Trojan Tighten Up comp 40 years ago.

Exactly. The idea that someone putting sexxxy girls on their youtube videos in 2011 represents some kind of unspeakable affront to the mythic rave utopia of 1990 (yeah that's 20+ years ago) is just dumb. Probably doing a disservice to gender issues as much as it is the nuanced history of dance music.

Yea there was an episode with him and skinnyman on it. There's a preview of it here: http://rawtelevision.co.uk/productions/earlier-stuff/programme-39/
