Bonus Brooklyn track:

Best UK drill tunes of 2020 according to me (no particular order, probably forgotten some tracks): Feel like this is a slightly "anti-Barty" selection, but maybe that's just me. Like, I don't feel they really match this description:

Re: Luka's point, did someone post this meme in here yet?

Heard this one at a festival last weekend. I've also fallen out of touch with gqom/SA house but this kind of makes me want to get back into it.

Japan has been stuck with deflation/extremely low inflation for decades. You could go away for years and come back to find most things costs the same as they did. Probably the more apt comparison is the precariousness of work - after the bubble burst a lot of people could only get temporary...

@padraig (u.s.) that's sort of what I was getting at. I think only Warren had scrapping the EC as part of her platform? Meanwhile, Biden explicitly said he wouldn't. I'm just wondering whether you're going to see these kind of reforms become an issue that plays a big role in campaigns. Although...

Is it too early to talk about what this means for the Electoral College? Or rather, views of it. Looking like Biden is going to be up by a few million votes in the end, yet may only just win the election very narrowly. It shouldn't feel as close as it does, and you'd think the calls to scrap the...

Soulfood Vol. 1 got a lot of love on Dissensus at the time.

Yeah, the Acronym/techwear fan base is overwhelmingly cringe, although as an owner of some Acronym pieces I'd like to think you can separate the fans and the clothes. Like, it's still niche enough that I don't think people are going to see you wearing one of their jackets and think you...

Errolson Hugh, the Acronym co-founder, was involved in the Death Stranding clothing designs.

A few UK drill producers are having a go at making garage or garage-influenced beats. More interested to see where that goes tbh than a lot of the stuff covered in this thread. This one by CZR for instance:

Yeah tbh I could have posted a bunch of stuff that stuff at the time but I've never been a really active poster and I kind of knew it would get mercilessly destroyed by you and others, which is nothing against you or anyone else and says more about me — I'm guess I'm not a Datwun, Continuum or...

I feel that, for better or worse, Dissensus missed out on a bunch of stuff — e.g. gqom, the grime 'second wave', club/deconstructed club stuff — that would have helped keep up the momentum of the board being a place for new music. I could post a load of new drill tracks I like but I don't really...

Glad this thread got revived because the other day out of nowhere I remembered that this track exists. The video and whole backstory to the album are quite something too.

The singer made grime tracks under the name Dr Venom, so not surprising they were posting on here really.

Awhile back thirdform posted a jazz-influenced dnb tune by, I think, Peshay that is far worse than you could imagine even based on that description. Couldn't find it, but in my search I did come across this which is also fairly heinous. I mean, just look at the title.

You would think, but apparently China splurged a load of money on an early warning system following SARs... but then no one used it for COVID-19 because it did them no favours to stick their neck out and flag what was happening...

This links in with the visual aspect of conceptronica too.

I think that still applies but just not so much in terms of sound - instead it's in terms of staging, how it looks. Blackdown was posting on Instagram about that recent FWD anniversary Boiler Room show and how brightly lit it was - completely geared not just for the broadcast itself but people...

The social credit thing is a lot more nuanced/messier than it's often made out to be and so not quite as dystopian, at least for the moment. As time goes on and with everything else the CCP is aiming for then maybe it will get there eventually.
