Blogariddims 41/Sub Threshold

Back to the standard sized Blogariddims with this tasty little dubstep/electronica/techno/reggae set from Owen Howard.

The mix covers some angles of my DJing/listening habits, with somewhat of an emphasis of dubstep, but also propped up with bits and pieces that verge on that territory, while remaining pleasantly immune to convenient pigeon-holing While its not exactly a enourmous in its breadth, hopefully it covers a bit of ground, I get bored either playing or listening to 20 tracks in a row linked by nothing more than the fact that they all came from the same section in the record shop. For me, it was hearing dubstep in a similar context to this that really made it click for me initially, most notably through a few mixes by El Kano and the Gutterbreakz radio series (RIP), taking in techno, electro, breaks and various mangled electronics in addition to dubstep.

1. Colors - Pharaoh Sanders – Impulse!

17. Digital Tsumani – Drexciya – Tresor
18. Find My Way – Kode 9/Massive Music – Hyperdub

8 to go....

Blogariddims 42/Sun 'n' Bass

Shanty house, Dancehall, Baile funk and Reggaeton courtesy of ghettobassquakes' DJ Vamanos

When I was asked to do a mix for Blogariddims I initially had issues about what I could provide in such an awesomely diverse series. I couldn't think of any one particular genre that I'd want to listen to for 60 minutes so I just thought i'd make something that i'd want to hear if I was on holiday at a beach party, rum flowing, bass hammering. Not the most specialist or obscure concept but the kind of music that i've been writing about here and why I started Ghetto Bassquake. The mix is a clash of sounds that I'm influenced by: From where I live in Brixton, south London - The UK's Bass shattering sounds of reggae, grime, drum'n'bass and dubstep. And the emerging Latin American & Jamaican bass party music of the caribbean and South America where I spent some time in 04/05- dancehall, cumbia, baile funk, reggaeton, soca with a bit of baltimore thrown in for good measure.

1. Shark Records Remix - Joyride
2. Lady Saw - Sycamore Tree
3. Wayne Wonder - Bashment Girl
4. El General - Muevelo
5. Unknown - Panamanian Reggaeton
6. Lucky Kumbias - Tocando Palmas RMX

Mashups: a cheap one liner trend collapsing all narratives into a heap of meaningless post modern rubbish, or a new way of interacting with cultures, of thinking about the world, of experiencing and creating music? i've always been excited by them, if not by most of what i have heard, by what i imagined was possible. and what i imagined was Digital Gamelan, Ethiopian Grime, Afro-Arabian Dubstep -- sounds from far away and/or long ago fused in ways that are both surprising but also intuitive, in ways that feel RIGHT. i wanted to make a particular kind of mashup, one that people would want to listen to, maybe over and over. is it possible to make the fusion, the bastard frankenstein assemblage, sound <span style="font-style:italic;">better</span> than the original sources? a tall order for sure, especially when the original sources sometimes are master musicians, but one that i nonetheless hope to have achieved in some of the mashups included in this mix. judge for yourself.

link is coming soon i guess...

sorry i only just saw this... yeah the copper cat tune is amazing, here's what i wrote when someone asked about it on the heatwave blog

That particular tune Tings Tuff is from 2000, and given it sounds like his voice hadn’t broken yet I guess he was about 13 or something at the time? He’s the son of Richie Stephens, the singer and producer who also runs the Pot Of Gold label that released Tings Tuff.

The only other Copper Cat tune I’ve ever come across came out in 2002/03, also on Pot Of Gold. I can’t remember the same, but the rhythm track was called Judgement and sounded a bit like a cross between the Stalag and Hot Milk riddims.

Since 2003/04 he hasn’t released anything as far as I’m aware, which is a shame, as both of those tunes were pretty cool - Tings Tuff especially.

This is now up, and it really does live up the hype. Some very slick and unconventional mashups in there.

 

[zhao]

i like that, maybe as tagline: "living up to the hype since 1975"

curious: how many subscribe to this cast?


bigup droid!

 

[soundslike1981]

Downloading the last few, planning on catching up tonight--look forward to it!

Winding it up for good at 50?

 

[faustus]

new 1 looks fucking sweet!

 

[droid]

Its actually hard to tell how many subscribe. I can tell how many are downloaded, but not subscribed.

And yes - finishing at 50 thank god!

 

[zhao]

sorry i'm really curious: so what is the average number of downloads? or if that's too difficult to assess what is the number of the most downloads so far? thanks...

 

[Rambler]

Where has Rambler gone btw, always enjoyed his contributions

Cheers - been busy getting a PhD and starting a family (with great success on both counts), so not been checking in here much recently.

Ive been slack on updating this even by my ridiculously low standards. Most recent (and missing) episodes below:

Blogariddims 43/Deep in Bludgrooves

SC's own Sir Loris brings you an hour long dub and roots mix recorded on nothing more than 2 technics and a mixer.

The overall theme of the mix was to use a collection of tracks that had some meaning to me. Music I enjoyed and understood. I’m not a devout reggae head but some of what I have picked up over the years I still get huge satisfaction from. This mix centres around dub for the most part but does include some roots and lovers rock in places, albeit quite sparingly.

1. Techniques - Born To Love
2. Love Joys - Jah Light
3. Grandpa Culture - Production Dub
4. The Travellers - South Africa
5. Ansel Collins - Portebello
6. Wackie's All Stars - Take Time
7. Morwells Esquire - Never Gonna Give You Up
8. Barry Brown - Big Big Pollution
9. The Arabs Feat. Far I - Long Life
10. Linval Thompson - Roll River Jordan (version)
11. The Simeon - 16 Track Rock
12. Dennis Bovell - Scientific
13. Vivian Jackson - Tubbys Vengeance
14. Thompson Sound - Guide Me In Dub Style
15. Sugar Minott - International Herb
