can anyone i.d the beat dropping in around 13 mins in here sounds like it could be joker?

thought this would never happen - http://soundcloud.com/waiferslewdem @waiferslewdem loads of tracks up for download there - some proper classics too

luka tried to pm you but your mailbox is full

mmmmmm - go to dotonbori/shinsaibashi/namba probably the most lively parts of Osaka for streetlife although i had great kushiage (like tempura but breaded instead of batter) in Tennoji - there's also a weird yakuza controlled redlight area around there and Japan's largest slum area called...

are you seriously in osaka? I've been here for about 6 months

It depends on whether you trust the musical taste of the people promoting the dance doesnt it? I've lost count of the times i've been to FWD over the years to witness previously unknown (to me at least) dj's under the red light. I'm quite happy to gamble and pay to see someone i've never heard...

like the 2012 version of the elevator pitch - i used to get a lot of this kind of stuff from former tutors (Architecture) - i'd present some work and they'd say "if i can't understand it in 3 seconds then its worthless etc... etc... " Got really grating after a while - everything became...

The 140 limit is a bit annoying sometimes. I do feel it limits people's expression and as such i dont think Twitter is a good forum for detailed one to one conversation. The trending topics is a total red herring, I never ever look at them, and i'm sure many other people dont either. Real...

!!!! so good!

Apparently there will be simulated rain at the Olympics opening ceremony on this stage Also, nurses and chickens to feature according to mock the week. Its being orchestrated by Danny Boyle so i'm still holding out for it to all be some hilarious piss take, but somehow i think the urge to...

This issue seems to have gone through a period of relative quiet over the last couple of years, though i guess there's been much bigger things to be worrying about at the moment. Post-2008, has the argument changed shape at all? i was reading this blogpost, arguing that artists should be...

I think the last post got it bang on. I was thinking a little more, and it struck me that the absence of community in the physical sense is the limiting factor. If you interpret road rap as partly an evolution of the grime scene (similar actors, customs, aspirations, methods etc...) then what...

i didnt quite follow that bit there - what do you mean? @slackk - i think ideas evolve and change as much as the sounds do. I'm not sure i could reduce grime to a singular idea, but i do think that ideas fade aswell, that they need to be sustained by the community they're centred around for...

I take that point, i mean, how could you appreciate what you've created if you're relentlessly pushing ahead with new ideas. But without creativity where would we be, we wouldn't have music in the first place. Theres a balance to be kept or either end of the argument might win out. In that...

does Kahn fit into this thread at all? Since the rise of wobble i've pretty much steered well clear of dubstep, but recently i keep hearing this guy around the net. I'm not quite sure what to think about him yet. Part of me really loves his tunes, his ethos even - the musical references, the...
