Ulala that tune is bananas. The second drop brings all the rushy ADHD synth funk to the tune - perfect. Damn hard to follow up in a set, I'd imagine. It's good to hear Rustie working hard again. For a while it seemed like he was coasting, but this single bodes well for the rest of the LP. Eager...

Just a tease really. Some nice post-dubsteppy bits in there. Enjoy. Tracklist Doshy - Chip - Robox Neotech RSD - After All feat. Price Jamo - Tectonic Mala - Don't Let Me Go - Soul Jazz De Schuurman - Nu Ga je Danse - Unreleased Modeselektor - VW Jetta - 50 weapons Magnetic Man - Flying...

New wonkish mix from yours truly here: http://www.musicfornightclubs.com/?p=83 There's some forthcoming / unreleased goodies from Mono/Poly and Slugabed in there. Hope you enjoy!

Interesting points. I think the remoteness of ardcore to hipsters is both geographic and temporal. I know I'm an outlier, but I am an American, and I bought all of those records in Columbus, Ohio. It's a college town in the midwest, certainly not a big city. And I played them at raves in Ohio...

BTW this is a scary scary image. I can imagine the glowsticks, candy bracelets, fur boots, hello-kitty backpacks, visors and pacifiers now... Happy hardcore is a strange beast isn't it? But then again, after the great happy-hardcore / darkcore split, I chose the dark side, so maybe I just don't...

I see what you and Luka mean. I'm probably not tracking dissensus closely enough to realize how hardcore you guys truly are. In any case I'm glad I found you lot. You're my support group!

No apologies necessary. You were MCing there! That's what the mix really lacks for me. I need a wicked MC for the next one. And for my dubstep sets as well! And also if I ever get my jungle records out again. But I have a feeling that I'd have a hard time finding a good MC in San Francisco...

I think that there is a certain amount of cache in knowing what it is - but your joke also reminds me think of the faces some of my friends have pulled when I've played this stuff for them. Kind of a 'thanks but no thanks' look... But then again those people are into 'serious music', and maybe...

Wow guys. I guess all the discussion on the Reynolds 'nuum thread tapped you out. Seriously though, I'm really interested in personal stories about hardcore. Particularly from the people that weren't around to hear it in 92. We don't need to culturally situate hardcore - tell us how it...

Hey Dissensus, Dubstep has gotten me thinking about hardcore lately. Cluekid and LD are doing these retro-themed tracks, Tubby from Newham Generals did a 1994 jungle set for his Rinse show a few weeks ago, and even the BPMs are starting to converge. As Dubstep creeps into the mid-140s, suddenly...

One of the most captivating aspects of Grace Jones is her image, which is of course the product of John-Paul Goude and others. The four steps of the construction of one of her iconic portraits is revealed here: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/image/0,,1672997,00.html The upper left is the concept...

Thanks for the kind words - I hope you like the mix. You're completely right about the prominence of the SF scene, but I dunno. I'm a romantic - when I go to a dubstep dance in SF I feel like something's missing, even though I've got no point of reference other than the images I imagine and a...

Oooo, I've been schooled! You're totally right. That's what I get for just rattling off names without refreshing my memory. I remember picking up three 12s from them in the same year that were apache-based, but there were also loads of other dark apache bits at the time from J Majik, Hidden...

I've been digging deeper into the Kosmische side of Krautrock - specifically Harmonia (which is Neu + Cluster). Amazing, dreamy, hypnotic, early electronic music. Haven't heard the second album yet (De Luxe) but the first one (Musik Von Harmonia) is cool as hell. Also been listening to the...

It looks like most of the good Photek stuff has been mentioned already, and I can't emphasize enough how confused and diluted his sound became after Form & Function. I think the peak has to be the releases from The Seven Samurai up until The Hidden Camera, but the years before and after are...

After waiting quite a while to get the right set together, I've finished a new dubstep mix. I'm attempting to capture a bit of what's been happening in the scene over the last year from my distant vantage point in San Francisco. Audio and tracklist here.

High NRG and Freestyle both came up around the same time (early-mid 80s). I think of NRG being very close to disco, and very euro-centric. Evelyn Thomas' High Energy from '84 is an early hit that kind of put the name on the sound. There's some pretty good info here. I'm definitely no authority...

I just finished a new dubstep mix that's quite good for beginners and old hands alike. Check it here: http://www.musicfornightclubs.com/?p=34 Here's the tracklist: 01. Zomby - Spliff Dub, Rustie Remix (Hyperdub, 2008) 02. 12th Planet & Swytch - Tonka (Noppa, 2008) 03. Benga - Out of Phaze...

Hello Dissensus! I've been unable to release new mixes for a while but I've just finished a new one and I'd like to share. The description and the tracklist from the site are as follows: -- Dubstep is insane right now. Many of the old talents who brought the sound to global prominence...
