anyone else feeling the new(ish) Night Slugs release by Girl Unit - "IRL"?
some seriously next level stuff here imo
(and dont tell me to ask the funky thread cuz im not about to get slated by that crew =P)
That tune is abysmal.If "hip-hop stuff" includes Chali 2na (ex-Jurassic Park, maybe one of the most annoying MCs ever, imo) over a Rusko beat, then... I think it's not very good.
Rapping in time to LFOs (wobble) = worst idea ever
Free download / stream on rcrdlbl.com if you want to hear it... it is at least funny, but not intentionally.
Hey Dr Awesome,When he played in NZ in October he played some werid stuff, ~155BPM (at a guess) .
*snip*
There was about 20mins of it if I recall correctly.
i think its less juke, tho there may be some, more that the direction swamp wanna nail is 'dark 808 drum machine shit'.
cool work them is his best track by a distance/Hey Dr Awesome,
Loefah was the best eh, he played a bunch of militant stuff at that gig too, it sounded like rampaging drums of death to me. That was the first set in a long time when I didn't know what the hell was being played and totally loved it. More!!! Stoked to hear Ramadanman's "Work Them" is coming on Swamp 81 too, check a clip here.
*edit* just read this and totally agree, that sounds like another way of describing what he was playing:
Work them is tough
Swamp81 has been a very good label so far, even though I'm not into the kryptic minds stuff that much. The artwork is always snazz.
Is any of this new stuff loe's playing by him?
really big ben ufo mix on the xlr8r site if nobody's noticed yet. the james blake tune at the end is amazing.

that clip of oneman playing work them at dmz sounds so so good. Been finding recently that often recordings of a dance tune being played on a system kinda makes you 'get' a tune sometimes - as you understand the physicality of the all the parts quite a bit more. One of my mates who's not so into dance music was saying that about sonar recordings of skream's set from a few years back - weird how it changes things.
they pulled their mp3s off bleep a year ago.
mala stated he regretted putting them up in the first place, i think.
