Kind of dread to think what a circa 2012 Oneman set would sound like to me now, even though I'd probably have really liked it at the time. Sometimes when going through tunes I'll come across some post-dubstep/post-funky track from around that time and I'd say at least half the time it really hasn't aged well.
Although I actually like a fair bit of Jam City's output still, this track is just...
Yeah all that shit has aged horribly
Even at the time, the disjunct between what was getting praised to the skies and the actual music was glaring.
Joy Orbison, Footcrab, Girl Unit 'Wut', etc. That Ramadanman tune 'Work them'.
I recall people being super hyped about these tunes and beginning to feel alienated from the taste of that community.
I don't mind some Night Slugs stuff though and I'm thankful for Kelela.
Was interesting in retrospect too cos although it was called 'post dubstep' it was really about a lot of dance music (recent and distant past) filtering through the sorts of people who were into dubstep, or at least finding some reception there. So you had stuff that channelled grime, rnb, techno, etc. Often in a sort of half-baked, not as good as the real thing way.
