i used to have some big vintage wharfdales from the 70s but theyre too big for where im at at the moment so have put them in storage. using a not great but not at all bad old aiwa hi-fi pair (well one aiwa one and one smaller one from some other pair cos the other one broke) at the moment which...

i might be paying £58 to see beyonce. am having 2nd thoughts but im prob still going to go. not that im a huge beyonce fan or anything but i like to see 'big' shows every so often, and i think shed put on a 'proper show' in the old fashioned (as well as modern bombastic) sense. gigs are much too...

i average about 1 book a month but often end up getting sidelined by mags or papers or just end up starting loads of books, without ever really finishing one. im sure i dont read as fast as i used to.

would have said 'nuum' but i dont to encourage any more discussion on that stuff. this might be a bit hardline but i find it a bit dissapointing when you get so many 'back in the day' flashbacks listening to sets these days, whether its old grime classics getting dropped into spyros set...

does anyone know what this is? or if someone else had used it before kode 9? i can be a bit anal about samples that are 'gritty'/dusty sounding like the one on here being spliced in with clearer/digital synthier stuff but i love this track. every time i hear it, i keep thinking its some old rza...

why does generic music have such a bad rep? am listening to whoevers deejaying on kiss right now, some dubstep show, not exactly wobblers but a lot of teeth gnashing sort of er adolescent-step with big blocky riffs and gnarly hooks, pretty expected stuff, but i like the fact it does pretty much...

i dunno if ive done this post before but i was reading some book by a certain well known music journo who talked about rock being what he 'returns to' even though he loves dance music etc. and after spending a lot of time absorbed in grime, funky, bits of dubstep and uk dance music in general...

and do i need anything else other than a mic socket? i wanted to up some old grime sets when i have a chance and some other bits too.

basically i have a month to play with and was considering doing one of these. the celta one in london, specifically. ideally id like to go abroad and do it but i think its too late to do that now. plus it would work out to be more expensive. anyway, i was wondering how useful they are to do...

i tuned in to jason h on sunday afternoon and it was fucking BAD! minimal techno and all sorts of stuff. some of it sounded old, some of it sounded alriiiight but he was playing some sick stuff. not that im a techno expert but still. im so glad im moving back to east london. rinse fm. my...

whos got their hands on this yet? i quite like it, but do think that apart from 1 or 2 new songs (the AMAZING war with flowdan, which has been doing the rounds for a while i know but its not come out yet til now) the best songs are those that have been out on 12 already. some of the vocals from...

been looking to no avail. maybe im typing the wrong stuff in but id really like to get my hands on some old sets. are there any out there in mp3 land?

supposely a series of programmes about white working class identity. saw the advert for it last night and i found it a bit worrying. its a white guy getting his face written on in non english languages in black marker until hes written on so much that his face turns black, at which point the...

are there any obvious comps to get? i saw some old 80s (i think) one in a 2nd hand shop but was unsure if i should pick it up as i cant imagine it would be that comprehensive at one cd long. are there any definitive comps? are the soul jazz ones any good? or just a case of including whatever...

what are the best jungle/D&B comps to get in dissensus' esteemed view? i have quite a few already, most of which i cant find or are at my parents place (even harder to find) so need to re-purchase some i think. i have jungle mania 1 and 2, remarcs lost dubs and sound murdererer and the...

is this guy really as good as hes being made out to be? only early stages yet i know but im going to say yes. im pretty excited to hear more of his stuff. all i have so far is the imbanging mix, supastarr ep and drop the lime but from what ive read theres quite a few other mix cds out there, i...

im not just talking about music, but it seems from large corporations wanting high standards of work from employees but not wanting to pay for it or truly invest in these people and preferring to take shortcuts at every opportunity even if in the long term this is a futile decision, down to the...
