rolling back to the future garage/post-dubstep/alt-funkstep/intelli-2step etc thread

Not into beard territory but Sepalcure's tash kills it.
I long for the days when music was faceless

please bring back faceless music. Its the halfhood/hair combo that makes me cringe. Not like I look any better but daym.

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

^^^otm. they should only be faceless. or if we do have to see what they look like, be wearing sports wear or trainers. which is what all the best producers have worn while making their best work lol.

 

[wise]

i've no idea what this means, makes me feel old

 

[Corpsey]

I think it means that it used to be ''WTF is going on DUDE?!'' and now its polite and inoffensive.

agree.

The weird puppet picture is from a series that feature this character 'Joshua', taken by contemporary photographer Charlie White.

As far as it's co-opted meaning, I think Corpsey summed it up well.

those pics make me think more of the 1st one being brostep and the 2nd one being post-dubstep.

surely there's a middle ground between surreal alien bukkake and Mary Whitehouse.

Not that I have found when jerking off

As much as I'm rolling my eyes at the context of this thread, there's something to be said about how Ben is offering such a dedicated defense of feminism and philosophical critique of the scene...

But I remembered yesterday I totally unfollowed Oneman from tumblr ages ago, because there was pics of topless strippers at one of his shows, and it went against my pre-concieved notion that his lane wasn't about 'that shit'.

So yeah. I guess it was wrong of me to think the 'intelligent' frame of mind was much better than the 'raging' brostep crowds.

 

[rubberdingyrapids]

cant really imagine there being pics of famous feminists at a club night, not even a post dubstep one. oneman plays grime and odd future too.

something must begoing on
a music thread on dissensus always turns into a gender debate at some tipping point

unreleated to the above, this is good, liking the title of the following:

I'm not sure this is what you're saying - I can't work it out - but just in case, we're not suggesting that Mary Whitehouse was a famous feminist right?

Famous dickhead is what she was

this makes more sense and might actually be funny (just might)

Machinedrum looks like the embodiment of a cautionary tale for Justin Bieber.

Originally released in 1998 and repressed this year. I'm guessing some of you UK heads are familiar with this, but I heard it only recently in Efdemin's Boiler Room set and had to find out what it was. It's classified as House but the bassline and swing in the drums give me more of a dark garage vibe.

^ heard a different (the original?) version of that not long ago while trawling through OOUKFunkyOO's YouTube favourites:

and the one here below (via Roshman) is nuts!

Yeah, that would be the original. Think there are three versions of the track on the EP.

The Helix track is big. Actually heard an intrumental version of it first and thought it was good, if not particularly memorable. Works much, much better with the vocal for me.

Helix's soundcloud about me.

I live in a small apartment with two friends. Sometimes they make me turn down my music.

Fully knowing how good the NightSlugs rinse show is, I've never managed see Bok Bok or L-Vis 1990 play.

Hopefully will sort that out on Boxing day.
