People who've made great contributions to music, yet they haven't seen much popular reverence nor critical appraisal.

And we're off....

I’d be up for organising a naughties nuum style poll so long as there’s sufficient enthusiasm (at least 10 people willing to participate). So if you guys are interested post some ideas for a poll. Also if you see a poll idea that you’d be interested in participating in say so, so that I can gage...

Gulf funded or inspired Islam.

It’s a term Luka’s used to describe a lot of the stuff I post, so maybe he would be so kind as to give us a proper definition. In the meantime I’d say it’s any Dance or “Urban” music you’d like to post that’s a little avante-guard or left-field and doesn’t quite fit into other threads. [edit...

From what I can tell Flex combines dancehall samples and rhythms with Litefeet/ Jersey Club-style sample snippets. http://pitchfork.com/features/article/9864-flex-tunes-brooklyns-own-dance-music/

Artists whose output has pioneered or innovated more than once. These innovations can include whole genres, stylistic flourishes, production techniques, etc. I’ll kick things off with Miles Davis. His playing with the harmon mute without the stem established a particular timbre of trumpet...

Favourites and general musings on the music of 2015 as a whole. I’ll kick things off with my favourite albums and EP’s of the year, I’ve restrained myself to absolute favourites, I could have included a lot more. In no particular order: 90’s Bambino- Online Crush Black Kray- Still Struglin...

Tracks by artists that are surprisingly different from their usual output or the style they've come to be known for. For example: Bootsy Collins- Preview Side Too A far cry from the squelching cartoon funk typically associated with Bootsy. Black Sabbath- Planet Caravan The Heavy Metal...

Songs, or bits of songs, where studio techniques contribute something completely new to the sound, rather then just enhancing it. Obviously in in the last three decades it's become increasingly difficult to distinguish between the 'studio' (or DAW) and the traditional notion of an instrument...

The last few years have seen a number of underground music scenes cropping up from Africa, it’s diaspora and it’s musical traditions (not to mention the great Pop that’s come out of the former British West Africa). For the most part the music hasn’t been groundbreaking enough to gain traction as...

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH UK BASS This stuff’s been going for a couple of years now, but I never thought to give it its own thread because I’d confused it with Jackin (as had a number of Dissensians, youtube DJ’s and the curators of Certified Jackin). On reflection however I think Jackin is...

I'm looking for genres/sub-genres that have been pioneered in the 2010's. So far I've got: - Deep Tech - Jackin House - Brostep - Chicago Bop - Gqom - Moombathon - Trap - To an extent American's rapping over 'nuum/UK Bass (Azealia Banks, etc.) offers something a little different -...

100 BPM, 808, crunk beats with funky, syncopated rhythmic stabs of samples (mainly vocals). The effect of these samples tends to be, as I said, funkiness rather headfuckery. Short documentaries: These youtube channel has a lot of the stuff on it...
