questions you are dying to ask but are too scared to b/c of music nerd cred?
- Thread starter toasted
- Start date
optimum
Poochie
- His tracks often sound a bit the same
- The vibe is kind of sweet and up but not exactly hype
- Production quality is lo-fi in some respects and not generic enough; too unique
- The vocals generally aren't full vocals, just snippets; the sample collage is catchy but its not riffy enough to riff or loopy enough to hook; it's just not straight-up enough for mainstream oonst
- Likewise his track structure is kind of unusual, the way he works up a motif and then goes through variations every 16 bars or whatever it is with the same elements, rather than doing dancefloor build and drop, breakdowns etc, and last but not least...
- Jesus vibes
But I mean he gets played all over the show right? So he is definitely a success, if not at Daft Punk or AVH level...

OK, don't know if this has been covered in a thread before, but...
Why are some of the Anthill Mob records SO expensive on Discogs etc...I mean, like, sore thumb expensive! I've listened to some of it on Youtube & bought one of theirs cheap the other day & its cool & everything, but...
I only got properly into garage from 99, so maybe you had to be there or something, but I wasn't entirely ignorant before that & I still don't get it...or is there a tune off Confetti Doubles that I haven't heard yet thats just like...WOW!!?!

I woke up with that song on my internal jukebox for some reason this morning.
So Doo Wop. Some of it sounds like early ska. I can imagine something like this
being played ny the fisrt Windrush generation.

Anthill Mob did do some jungle under the 'studio 2' name. Probably best known for 'Dirty games'
I know nothing about the music BUT I think this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded:
Sounds remarkably similar to "Rubber Biscuit" by The Chips (which I can't find a copy of - apart from the one I own HA!)
Not sure if it would have been played so much by the Windrush peeps due to accessibility issues. Would native-born Jamaicans have really sought out this music? I get the impression doo-wop never really took of in this country in the way it did in the States. I may be wrong though. I can see more similarities with the kind of New Orleans boogie-woogie R&B than with doo-wop.. Hit me up with some track titles, please.
