what do you reckon about things like these guys
afaik a mostly filipino crew based in canada that make all these devotional records around different jamaican musical forms, or at least an idea of them thats received through several different hands. the sample material all gives a sense of that process, albums structured like 2nd hand dancehall tapes, indiscriminate use of mic chat samples. most of the tracks are mainly built around the vocal cut ups, so the influences cant be disguised in the way that say, mashing together a couple of different drum patterns could. a lot of their tracks dont even seem to have drums at all exactly. i mean this could sound like a visual cultures phd project but i think theyre great, the voices do something very exciting i reckon, its a interesting thing to foreground in that way. vocal samples just register in a different way to instrumental elements, how many almost alright uk bassy tracks are ruined by some lazy sample from babylon for example.
