What happened to Hyperdub?

I think it has, 100%. As you say, partly it's to try and cut through all the noise, then maybe for others it's a realisation that you can just be an art school thesis with some mp3s attached and that alone can get you hype. The hollowing out of the music press also plays a not unimportant role...

Presumably Arya, having come to King's Landing and then witnessed all the suffering up close, now kills Dany, or at least tries to, otherwise there is basically no reason for her to have featured in that episode at all, especially so extensively.

Kind of dread to think what a circa 2012 Oneman set would sound like to me now, even though I'd probably have really liked it at the time. Sometimes when going through tunes I'll come across some post-dubstep/post-funky track from around that time and I'd say at least half the time it really...

Spoke to Marfox briefly when he was in Tokyo and I asked him what it was like in Lisbon. He was saying that things (as with pretty much anywhere) are really dominated by standard house and techno stuff, suggesting that there aren't actually too many nights for him and other Principe artists to...

Goon Club Allstars just reissued KG's 808. In the media they've tried to make it seem like it was this super rare, secret track when anyone could buy it off ukfunky.net. Still, it's a good track and it's nice it's getting some wider exposure. <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height...

I think the reality is, despite the fact Western media keep describing the gqom scene as "thriving", most people have moved on to sghubu, which is basically the standard afro house stuff you mention (some of it can be good though e.g. some DJ Lazz tracks). There are a few exceptions, but a lot...

China will be marking the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2 with a... military parade, naturally. http://thediplomat.com/2015/01/chinas-military-parade-a-warning-to-japan-and-the-us/

The last two episodes were good, finally felt like things were coming together. My GoT geography isn't great, but did anyone feel it was a bit strange how Stannis just appeared out of nowhere, and on the other side of the wall at that? It felt a bit like an instance of deus ex machina to me. It...

No it wasn't, unless I completely missed that. I was wondering if The Mountain was dead - surely he is even without the poison? And if so, doesn't that make the trial a draw? Still annoyed that Oberyn fucked it up. I'm thinking that this is going to play into a repeat of the all-out war of...

Actually yeah, The Mountain vs Oberyn had occurred to me but then I forgot about it. My money is on it being that. Oberyn to win.

It's like the arguments comparing wobbly dubstep* (a certain brand of it at least) to hardcore. Maybe it makes some kind of sense on paper, but the idea falls apart once you actually listen to the stuff. *Some overlap with EDM, obviously.

Hopefully now Stannis has got a shit load of gold some real stuff can start happening. The scrap Droid refers to is, I'm guessing, Tyrion's trial by combat. Who's going to be his champion. Jamie (is that even possible?)? Bronn (again)? Another thing, this episode made me realise there hasn't...

Is this the thread to talk about kawaii-influenced stuff? Not something I know much about admittedly, but I've seen references to kawaii and Japan cropping up for a little while and now I discover that possibly "2014 is going to be a year of cuteness in the online underground" -...

This series definitely feels a lot slower and less gratifying. I suppose that's partly because there are so many characters now that one episode gets spread pretty thinly. That said, it has still taken ages for some plot lines to progress or get picked up on again. I just rewatched the final...

<iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src=""></iframe> Can anyone do me a massive favour and ID the two tunes at 14 minutes and 27 mins 30 secs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to Canada soon, Vancouver to be specific, and was wondering if anyone had any Canadian beer recommendations? I'm relishing the chance to drink something that's not Suntory, Qingdao or Tiger, so I want to try and have as much good beer as I possibly can. From searching about Vancouver...
