Rams was very good at fwd on Friday (caught 90% of his set before I had to leave). As were dusk and blackdown - props for dropping that mental Starkey tune! Hold tight the glow stick crew down the front still (lol)

Top drawer!

Techno Dread is bad! What's the release date on this?

Hmm just round the corner...can't be missed! So is Mangal really better than Mangal II?

Got the Supa D mix cd today...on first listen confirms what I've made of the music so far, which is that a lot of it is so-so MAW/latin/deep house stuff which doesn't really stand up in terms of ideas and production to the US stuff. However the stand outs are the two Apple tracks and the...

Was pretty weighty on Sat - can go louder though ;) Was a pretty odd/funny night...crowd was a bit weird, I thought it was sponsored by the London Paper or something, some of the girls looked more like they should have been dragging themselves out of some Mayfair nightclub at 2am on a...

He was/is connected somehow to the jungle producer Digital - around 99/2000 he did a wicked little vocal on a track called "Critical Situation" on Hardleaders.

I think thats an interesting and fruitful perspective, but seeing that is not the same as agreeing with Zhao's complaint. What I find most interesting is that clearly the lyrics have pricked his worldview and more than anything else make him uncomfortable...and he can't see why they don't...

Really though, what are you on about? This tune is clearly a first person, visceral reaction to something that happened and she wrote lyrics about it. I think she is being honest and its what a lot of other people think too. Since when does she, or any other artist, have a responsibility to...

You have a point in that a lot of press on Burial, especially mainstream music section coverage, has laboured on the anonymity point to the expense of talking about the music, which just confirms what I think about the majority of journalists i.e. they are lazy. Blogging has seen the best...

He he I used to be in to hardcore in 96-98, went to the smaller raves up North like Diztruxshon a bit. That was really my intro in to clubbing so I have fond memories (and the quality of the sound system was far superior to pretty much anything else I've heard apart from Plastic People/Jah Shaka...

Think it was in the music section but don't know who the journalist is. I find it breathtaking just in terms of the purported ethics of the profession that you can reveal someone's name in the same sentence as describing their Banksy-esque anonymity. I'd hope someone else at the paper would have...

Jesus...journalists :(

:D

I'd seriously recommend all of Optical's pre-Wormhole solo stuff, especially on prototype. To Shape the Future, Moving 808s etc...all so so good. To me this was the high water mark...platinum breakz 1&2, the early headz releases, prototype, goldie. Superior to all that 95 amen, foul play, omni...

There's quite a big difference between the no u-turn sound and the later 98-2000 stuff from the likes of Konflict, Bad Co. etc...I think they are very different beasts. The best stuff from 97, pre-Wormhole, like Mad Different Methods had this very abstract, angular flow and a really dangerous...

The drums on 'rehab' are off the hook though.

Wicked to see Gotta Man and Ice Rink...make up for the lack of Diz and When I'm Ere off the mix.

Seen the ad for this in the latest Wire - its a forthcoming comp on soul jazz but its basically the spit (in spirit if not exactly in content, not sure of the t/l) of the absolutely T for tremendous "An England Story" blogariddim podcast by Heatwave a year or two ago. I assume the Heatwave...

Hopefully the Riko mixtape will have that version of him and wiley over Bazooka.
