    bankruptcy of 'nuum as concept

    Yeah it's official, Reynolds has completely lost the plot. Confirming what I've felt for quite a long time really but now it's totally out in the open, he went flying off the edge of his ignorance. A major risk of writing about things you basically know nothing about. I'm in NYC like him...

    bassline house

    I'm with Ian on this. I like the girly bassline tunes. I like grime but a lot of this stuff that's just so raw and aggro with dudes shouting down it is not working for me. I like melody and color with the whooshing bass. And yes, bring on the 2-step, I'm looking forward to Todd Edwards at...

    autotune. please don't

    I love me some autotune. It's like the drum machine of vocals. Cheap, inhuman and soulless but allowing for a whole lot of musical possibilities never imagined. Let me put it this way. Working with a singer who CAN sing, with Autotune there suddenly opens up a whole new range of melodic...

    Cumbia

    cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumbia! I love this stuff. It mashes up a dance too, Rupture and Geko Jones have been playing it at our recent dances and I'm surprised how much it goes off. I'm hearing it more and more in NYC from the different south/central american ppl about as well.

    late 90s tech-step

    big co-sign, I played the shit out of that CD. All about Locust and Silver Blade (dillinja sampling vangelis blade runner). I actually was listening to some of this stuff recently and its still good. Probably due for revival soon. I think wormhole is probably late, Torque, Prototype Years...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    par definitely doesn't mean good enough. Not as in "up to par". I couldn't give you a straight definition but it's a negative thing. If you got parred, you're not happy about it. If "it's a par" it's not good. As I read it can mean diss, ignore, long off etc. Seems like a pretty flexible...

    Todd Edwards

    Just got on a bit of a Todd binge for a few hours via youtube. Man.... Not much to say about this guy besides that he's really really great. Really intense vibe and emotion in these tracks not to mention the ill ill technical/musical dimension. For the non-musicians: what he's doing is...

    "R'n'B" recommendations PLEASE!?

    THE DREAM - Love & Hate This album is really really great, only two or three tracks I skip. Really cool production and serious songwriting, the tracks hold up and up. Easy highlights are the single "Shawty is the Shit" feat Fabolous (Shawty is a Ten on radio), "She Needs My Love" and the epic...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Macarena my ass. I'm doing the rolex sweep right now. The grime scene definitely needs way way more named dances. And if you never did the running man, you're not real. Cross Colors is coming back. 14 year old Kids in BK are already doing the kid-n-play jumping over your leg dance to my...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    Joker is generally an amazing producer/composer. I've been listening to Stuck In The System non-stop since I got it. Big up Pinch for bringing it out, quite a mafia he's gettin going up there.
