frankie bones used to be really active on the discogs forums, there's a funny thread where he copy and pastes some magazine's Top 100 Most Game Changing Dance Tracks or whatever but gets called for slipping one of his own tracks in when it wasn't on the actual list.

this is NYC right? the vocal's the source for that awful speedy j track. always gets me when a sample gets used a billion times yet the person responsible remains basically anonymous.



it only fully gets going in the second half. wonder if the melody that comes in at 7:50, which also appears in mental overdrive - 12000 AD also originates w/ this track?

this mix is good too, similar territory to 808 state - magical dream:

This one is amazing as well. Beltram's breakbeat tracks are his best I reckon. And where have I heard those synth stabs before? They sound so familiar.

was out the other night in a place (paragon) with two rooms and literally everyone was crammed into the second room with a shitty soundsystem watching sam binga play ice rink, flowdan a capellas and d&b btb with someone called bianca oblivion who played tunes of some genre i don't know the name of, while joey beltram played to about five people in the bigger room with lights and lasers. must be really annoying

bianca oblivion seems fun af from checking her soundcloud
does she play favela funk these days or what?
I would imagine beltram plays slower (as in less adhd switchups) than the zoomer style djing so popular thes days

i think favela funk sounds about right. stuff that sounded south american and carribean, with these sort of snappy brittle beats.

really schizo set. there'd be like a d double e tune, then some of this favela funk or whatever you call it, then a dizzee tune, then some d&b, then about two bars of a prodigy tune, then some US hiphop and so on and so on. the adhd switchup thing was really apparant, nothing settled in. reminded me of old grime mixes which were the first time i heard that way of mixing where nothing stays on for more than two minutes.

thought it was class. my mates were talking about how techically good the mixing apparently was.
