This has sold out on pre sales everywhere. Managed to pick one up at rough trade yesterday lunchtime. Radiohead fanboys plus burial fanboys (me!) equals high prices on discogs next week.

Out to Ben UFO on his Boiler room mix -
just what my ears needed - mix of old & new, housey and raw grime bass, stush selection and all on vinyl - BIG UPS (esp as you dropped Neverland)

Really??????
Sounds like a really bad version of a boring 'Breaks' tune.
I used to really enjoy your Rinse show Blackdown, I can't bear to listen to it now.
I know you want to play music by new producers and that but is it really worth it if they sound like this?
I miss the old days when you introduced me to quality 2 step & grime amongst the upfront Dubstep

I'm not really feeling that track either and I really dig a load of that kind of thing. There's something a bit stale about it, the drums don't do anything for me.
This does simular things way better for me: Another Girl by Jacques Greene. I can't play a lot of this in sets though I feel like it all works better in small doeses to brighten up things a little for a quick refreshing euphoric energy rush amongst a load of otehr stuff, which makes me want to move more. Damu does the smeared synths really well too. I'm trying to think of a few others my minds gone blank.

Such a good mix, the he mixes Neverland in is sublime. And dropping that Youngstar tune out of nowhere. >>

Thing is with that Original Face tune the ideas are headfucky and all over the place... just like grime in it's early days. That tune moves it on from anything after Hyph Mngo but injects a huge amount of energy into the mix which is what young producers like Original Face do best.
My problem with bass music at the moment is that it is slowly turning into boring progressive european techno. This is not a case of the scene cybernetics moving into negative, shit wobble or violence, it is a worry that it turns dreary, 'intelligent' or progressive.
Blackdown my opinion is that you need to stick with producers like Original Face and Damu etc, and even if you aren't playing them you need to coach them and give feedback until their levels rise. And they are most definitely rising.

exactly. the drop seems to take near-wobble synths and instead of making them sound like a child having a tantrum, makes them simultaneously part of the rhythm and the melody.
Couldn't agree more, i'm getting sent so much safe, tepid house & techno right now, which isn't what i'm looking for, as much as i do like the creme of techno & house.
Interesting to see them dividing people on here. Personally I think they're really exciting and I speak to Damu regularly.
