Drvg Cvltvre - what's good? Is there a sort of scene

IdleRich

found it, fuckin ell can’t quite believe the title manifested, possibly irrelevant too


So you spent time looking for this and it really reminded me of this one track that I wanted to play to you in response - and I knew what the name was (roughly anyhow) so I thought I could find it and show you easily,... but I looked for ages on youtube with no luck. So I thought I'll quickly film a bit with my phone... but then I couldn't find the record. And eventually I found it and then the cat kicked up a fuss while I was recording it and so on and so forth... basically I feel I went to quite a lot of effort just to be able to say "Hey this song is in some ways a bit like that other song but actually not as much like it is I remembered oh well".

Ignore the cat noises - for some reason the little bastard hates the turntables and if I go and start putting records on he will do anything to stop me... knocking stuff over, crying out piteously as though he were at death's door - and sometimes just jumping full onto my back with his claws out and then just kinda hanging like some sort of evil rucksack that hates music and also me.

I have to say that i do like this Parisi guy, I've got this one as well which has this really dirty sound and then the hook which only drops in for a bit but it reminds me of this record I used to really love from about ten years ago by a Swiss (I think) band called Scorpion Violente. They both have a kind of soundtrack feel to them... a kinda scuzzy John Carpenter feel I suppose.


This is the Scorpion Violente one


It's got a real DIY kinda feel to it, I saw them in a basement in Paris about ten years ago.

Some of Legowelt's Squadra Blanco stuff is in this vein,

A few people said that they like this thread or the music in it... so let's get some more in there... this one is kinda different from the Drvg Cvltuvre in that it succeeds in the opposite way. It's slow and dark and kinda heavy I guess, but instead of building bigger and bigger it just seems like it's gonna build into something but actually never does. And that tension is what makes it good.

That was quite funny when luke was doing the whole legowelt is dead routine, sort of similar to thd bumhole incident.

Years ago when I was on a stag in hamburg, I just kept saying the same phrase over and over again, to everyone, in answer to anything. Like the others would be having a conversation and I'd intimate that I wanted to say something, that it was going to move things on, then I'd clear my throat and then just say the same sentence. It was "I'm involved in a number of different projects, some of which overlap."

Eventually, at 6am in the fish market place, my mate burned my hand with his lit fag and that put a stop to that.

Reminds me of Leo as Howard Hughes in The Aviator when he gets stuck in those loops.



Wonder whether Scorsese was giving a nod to The Shining here. The way those guys approach him really oddly and Reilly's like "Everyone works for you, Howard" feels a lot like Jack "always" having been at the hotel and that party.

did say earlier Willikens and ivkovic might be a tad clean for my dj set tastes but then I remembered this which is pure duseldorf dark trance chug.


Bloody hell, might play it in my next mix.
Not to name drop but when we went to Dusseldorf Liza met up with Vladimir to go record shopping... sadly I was too hungover to join....

Someone needs to cure him from the pitched down goa trance affliction though. It's really no good. he'd be the best dj if he got rid of that. Maybe Liza can communicate why we hate public school crusties in this country if you relay it to her.

Just found out he's playing in Lisbon next Sunday at this bar we played at (really badly) last night.* Maybe put that message more politely and I'll pass it on for you...



*shit night all round, fucking car got towed and gotta figure out where it is and pay a cunting fine

Right, got the car... anyway, realised I got this one record too, could fit in two threads cos it's on Crimes of the Future but better here



Liza points out that Tapan is from Dusseldorf and did something with the woman who did the vocal on the Toresch record if that means anything to you.

unfortunately there's nothing polite i can say about goa trance.

now proto-goa is awesome, but that's cos none of it was made with trustafarian goa hippies in mind.

Anyway apart from that mr. Ivkovic has exemplary taste so not gonna slate him. It's a specifically Londoncentric hatred, I doubt someone from Belgrade could fully understand the depth of goa/psytrance hatred.
