    weed food

    this will be a short thread because the subject can be summed up with: everything is amazing.

    Cross Pollinations: JA, UK, etc.

    maybe we can suggest tunes which sound like or is mixable in a set of another style. only 3 examples right now of new dancehall which sounds like it could be influenced by UK: new Cham - Call Mi. tune is pretty boring, and i'm not feeling his falsetto, but thought it was an interesting...

    Negative Energy

    saw Christophe Debabylon do a BLISTERING live set last night. much the same dynamic as "if you're into it i'm out of it": bleak brooding drones give way to ferocious and unrelenting Teutonic industrial drum'n'bass, (with some black metal-ish vocals added which was not there before). poised at...

    Machinefabriek

    only thing more unlikely and astounding than this boy's over the top prolific release schedule is the consistantly high quality of each one. reckon i've heard about a dozen or so and not a single dissapointment. i'm not sure how this is even possible... i mean much more famous people...

    new Burial 12 with... fourtet?!

    snippet sounds really... pastoral. :slanted: nice radio friendly middle of the road... almost... sounds like... the orb?! but of course with the same muted stutter-garage beat. a creeping feeling... that his best moments... are behind him?!?! no! it's not true! snap out of it...

    new Throbbing Gristle album

    although enjoyable in a harmless wallpaper dark ambient noodles kind of way, and save for a few moments of genuine alien beauty on the last 3 tracks, is pretty lackluster and forgettable. guess Genesis didn't get the memo that just being generally creepy and weird isn't really enough...

    current trends that will age horribly

    what will people think of, in 10 or 20 years time, about the sound of the 2000s, and shake their heads and go "oh remember that? oh god so embarrassing..." stupid digital distortion ala Digitalism, Justice, Crookers, Modeselector, etc. excessive autotune preset wobble these things have...

    question about hard drives

    might be a dumb question and might have been covered before, but: if it's true that when you trash information it doesn't really go away, that the data is still in the hard drive somewhere, recoverable by a data retrieving specialist using proper software, what accounts for the obvious...

    playing smaller venues

    do djs around here ever play dive bars? if so what is in your set for these occasions? of course very different audience and mood than big room bass in the face events, and the music has a different function, and has to function in other ways. for one thing there was no flyer, and all kinds...

    the Wrestler

    intentional, consciously, or even came across the director's mind or not (most likely yes), the film readily becomes a metaphor of the decline of Empire. • opens with shot of American flag • the constant weight, fatigue of a once mighty being struggling to maintain a reckless, unsustainable...

    unusually, seriously strange dream imagery

    had an argument with a friend about Dali a while back; in it i insisted that he was a fraud: a neo-classical painter of garden variety technical proficiency who used weird imagery to fit into the surrealist program. and more importantly, this imagery was obviously of his conscious mind's...

    NGOMA 3: Zulu House / Afro Electro / UK Funky

    the original plan was for 3 to be dub grime apocalypse, and 4 an uplifting and soulful holiday in the tropics. but due to both the popularity of 2, and the challenge from dj Doom, I've decided to continue with the afro-centric 4/4 boom for this volume. while staying in the same territory as...

    CALLING BERLIN DJs

    looking for DJs who play UK Funky, maybe with some Dubstep or Techno, but especially with a "futuristic" aproach to "non-western" music, such as Afro-House, Kwaito, Electro-Cumbia, Funk Carioca, Arabian, etc. basically, i need more people to do club nights and parties with, and most...
