Soulja: Grays Inn was so important. If that club wasn't on... it was a different audience, served up in a different way. It was every Sunday for at least a couple of years. it was all based around a couple of DJs and they kept playing for hours and hours - Funky Smith, Daryl B sometimes. And Charly Brown used to MC, but he's dead now. And Gemini. I used to go there every single week, religiously. You
didn't even bother to go out on a Saturday night. You'd get up at 5 and go to that all day - amazing.

one of the drm zu members is this guy

they had a guest mix on dj polo/nkc's show on swufm. i cba to go ott with descriptions, context etc but it was sick


also/ cover star business for sef kombo and kitty amor

plus mixes

also/


to my mind if there are 4 camps then they run along this kinda axis

funky/percussive - lr groove, kg, razzlerman, whitecoat, roska
percussive/funky - nkc, club djembe, scratcha, bakongo (roska)
afrohouse/tribal - sef kombo, kitty amor, ic,
afrohouse/amapiano - housupa, drmzu, antony ranz

the first two interact heavy with each other and keep a keen eye on whatevers going on in the last one, the third thing for me is in its own world with no crossover to the other batches, and the last one exists in it's own closed loop, there's definitely a trend of afrocentric dance music but putting everything under the same umbrella doesn't work in practice. i like seeing sef get his flowers but i'm not really interested in the music.

would like to see supa d and his batch of producers work with people outside their immediate circle and move more like the people in the first two batches, if guest mixes are anything to go by then its happening already on marcus nastys show and swu fm.

also this

could be tasty

also deep tech never went away the curation aspect just went to shit, a bag of djs and producers kept the sound bubbling via parties, insta live sessions and free downloads on soundcloud, i should go in that thread and post but tbf does anyone give a shit? i probs will cause im on furlough and bored af even though i have shit to be doing.

Yeah the NKC show is where I came across them for the first time. Will have to lock into him from now on, I enjoy the hard drum stuff coming out on his label.

really been enjoying this Coldsteps and Supa D set. Coldsteps is on another level atm. At 1.34...

"I told you this is a spiritual sermon.
Spirit dance!
Spirit dance!
This our ritual
Higher learning, spiritual awakening!"

I love it

Thanks to all people putting in work in this thread, it's the sort of enthusiastic thread Dissensus hasn't had for a while.

I'm being lazy at the moment and not engaging properly with this stuff lol but I am berating myself for that. Just repeating the pattern I always conform to.

Now a remix of Thelma Houston 'U Used To Hold Me So Tight' :love:

It's kind of fascinating listening to these things develop in real-time cos sometimes looking at a genre like jungle retrospectively it's as if some people just one day decided to invent jungle when of course it happens much more organically and gradually than that and new sounds emerge from DJs playing different styles that are sometimes quite different from their offshoots.

his 'ancestors' chat is always making my mrs giggle anyways, haha

yeah this is what i meant about the thread title, not that it's something to lose sleep over....but the 'afro tech', 'afro house' sounds are their own thing, black coffee etc.

i dont know anything about gqom and 'club' e.g. uniiqu3 and all that but there seems to be quite a lot of spill over from that too
