    Jungle 2013

    Icelandic trio Tranquil with 2013 jungle/jungle inspired dnb: http://tranquilmusic.bandcamp.com/album/tj-rnin A talented bunch of guys, they do other stuff too. "Atmosphere" is a personal fave, old halfstep vibes, all about the percussion in the 2nd drop:

    Juke

    Speaking of Japan and juke. A mate of mine living in Tokyo has been following the scene over there. He said it literally started off with one guy doing the dancing and a couple of dj's, but has been growing since and they do dance too not just music. He did a little set with japanese juke stuff...

    150-160 bpm-ish stuff - whatchamacallit

    http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?id=352 Really enjoyed this mix. Ital Teks new ep is good too, enjoyed the album but it felt like it owed a bit to the Kuedo thing, with the new ep and the tune in the mix it feels like Ital Tek is really carving out his own sound in this area.

    Yeah, people do like their liquor. Yeah, lifrapylsa is great, liver sausage is right, its related to haggis iirc.

    Rolling travel thread

    On another note, I'm not really well travelled, been around Europe a bit. A lot of people my age here are taking world or continent tours (South America or South East Asia), 6-8 weeks or up to 3-4 months. I feel conflicted about this sort of thing as I think you'd only get to touch the very...

    Rolling travel thread

    Yeah, Reykjavik can be nice, I just feel that the music/nightlife here has been hyped a bit too much (maybe its only icelanders ourselves who bought into the hype though), generally we suffer for a small population imo. The scenery and landscape, however, I think is really great and unique...

    Rolling travel thread

    Im icelandic, so might be a bit biased. But yeah I reckon the nature and landscapes are really great and worth seeing/visiting for (the culture, music, the people and Reykjavik as a city are way overrated imo though). Iceland is probably at its cheapest now, our currency is still in the dumps...

    Websites/Forums For New Music

    I find a lot of this activity, at least in my circles, is moving to facebook and facebook groups (and twitter to a certain extent). Which I think is a shame for a few reasons. Firstly Facebook is eating the internet, second (semi)anonymity seems to make for a more interesting blend of people and...

    The Outsider Disco Thread

    Great thread, heard the Bob Chance track in a Daphni mix late last year and it has been in heavy rotation ever since. Looking forward to checking these out. This was in the same Daphni mix: Maybe more of a space rock / proggy vibe, but it is very dancey imo.

    Youtube thingamabob that dissensians might find useful

    currently it only gets one webpage at a time, but adding more videos/pages is a feature I'd like to add sometime. In the meantime you can use the print view under thread tools to get a larger number of posts in one page (up to 40 I think). Wont get you all the videos but should make for a...

    Berlin - whither should I go?

    http://lmgmblog.wordpress.com/ this guy posts some pretty interesting stuff on Berlin and the gentrification/tourism debate, also ties it to techno/dance music at times, worth a read.

    thanks guys, glad you like it. Feel free to share the link on other forums, blogs, social media or whatever, trying to get it out there, any help appreciated. It does indeed go fairly well with the grime thread, check out this list for a taste. http://bit.ly/PoRuml

    Youtube thingamabob that dissensians might find useful

    So inspired by Dissensus I made this tool for getting all the youtube videos of a page and creating a playlist from them (e.g. a thread on dissensus) - http://www.youtuple.com Here's a video explaining how it works. It was inspired by dissensus as there's so many great videos posted here but...

    How has burial dated for you?

    I'm pretty much in this boat, I ascribe it to the copycats and a lot of the post-dubstep things but also just my personal tastes changing. Haven't really liked a lot of the more recent stuff, although the Four Tet collab, "Nova"?, I thought was pretty good. Didn't he say at the time of Untrue...

    Vinyl dying (for DJ's)

    Bringing your own decks + mixer has been the standard at local clubs (Reykjavik) since I started playing out ~10 years ago (with the very rare exception). Its a huge pain in the butt, but I guess it beats using busted ass equipment, which is the reason most promoters/club owners cite, e.g. if...

    Name suggestions keep surfacing. Om Unit: http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2012/07/cosmic-bridge-slowfast.html Accompanying mix is pretty good imo.

    shameless self promotion, a mix I did that features some of this stuff, mixed with dubstep/jungle/juke technoy stuff. http://podcast.karltryggvason.com/post/20926448914/kalli-compile-debug-compile-debug-by Tracklist: 01. Funkbias - Last Forever (Swamp 81) 02. Martyn - Viper (London Arches...
