Sidewinder? What exactly is 'Sidewinder' that everyone always talks about in relation to Wiley? I have a set of Wiley and Dizzee Rascal called 'Sidewinder Set Side B'. Its the best grime set I've ever heard. Is this THE Sidewinder people are refering to? Or was it a regular radio show from back...

on Ice Rink. more about the flow than the lyrical content per se. "i'm in the future, they can't see what I can, I'm in the future... material things it don't matter in the future, travel in a time machine, I'm in the future" "you could never move at my pace, move at a fast pace, travel from...

Interesting. While we're on this topic, does anyone know what that drum'n'bass/jungle tune is in that promo clip on Radio 1 when they say "in new music we trust" and mention different genres and then playing little snippets (like, "electro (sample clip), breakbeat (sample clip)"). I know they...

My favorite is the lego harpsichord. Ridiculous! Familiar with both legos and pianos, I would've said it wasn't possible, especially with the required string tension. I wonder if he cheated and used glue or something.

More on Ali G What subgenre of drum n bass is in the montage of this Ali G clip?:

Ali G Drum n bass I have a question myself. Don't laugh but.. What type of drum n bass is the stuff Ali G plays on his show? Techstep, jump-up, clownstep? Or maybe just a certain small group of producers? Its a distinctive style and its actually rather interesting compared to other contemporary...

How exact do you want to know? They are the two types of UK Garage. 4x4 has the steady boom boom boom boom rhythm of classic US garage (or any house music)- 4 steady bass drum beats per bar. 2-step has an unsteady rhythm with beats shifted off-time. The name 2-step refers to there being only 2...

Footsie productions (Dizzee's Wasteman, the first Dirtee Stank release, Newham Generals' upcoming album, Dizzee's upcoming album..). Magical for some reason. Looking forward to: -Benga's CD (coinciding with me discovering him as a mythical figure in dubstep; finding old mixes I'd never listened...

While we are on the topic, what about good really deep dub records? I've always been into the dub vibe but don't actually have much of the music- King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown and Pole and... thats about it. I'll look into the Trojan comp.

Recently it was made available for download at bleep.com. Unless you want the actual thing...

Everyone always says this but why not? Aren't labels always looking for the next big thing? Do they think not enough people listen to grime? Like, to me, grime is clearly one of the biggest developments in music recently. So is it actually not? I just don't get it... :confused:

Back to the original thread topic, who's excited about the Analord CD! I like Aphex but not enough to buy 11 big plastic discs. But where's Pissed Up in SE1? Does he think all these tracks are better than that one? Or, more "cohesive", whatever thats worth...

Well, its not exactly the same. Calling it "falling apart and building up" was just my cliched attempt at explaining it. The complexity of jungle doesn't sound like the complexity of autechre at all, to my knowledge. (autechre are not drill n bass but they best embody the complexity vibe...

WOAH. I have to check this out. Thanx for the tip. Reminds me of that new autechreish grime track "WD25".

LOL. There's no idm in alabama. Trust that. There's no 'intelligent' anything. And scenius vs genius is just a phrase people use. Genius doesn't refer to particularly smart people but just isolated artists doing their own unique thing.
