    Jamie Principle To be honest, Dance Mania/Trax had a ton of excellent sultry/ghetto house male vocal releases

    The music journalism hall of shame thread

    I think the idea is nice but ultimately it would probably turn into the bile that Guardian comments sections often are, it's too idealist really.

    The music journalism hall of shame thread

    I can see what you mean, but I think what interests me about those features is the way it's an integration of the mini reviews within a larger thought piece, and there's multiple laters to peel away at, including links elsewhere. I think layout is often vastly underrated at giving a piece...

    The music journalism hall of shame thread

    I think thats the inherent flaw with a lot of this writing, it's so easy to be indulgent (theory is just so sexy!). The nature of the beast will attract those with ego. The best writing will always come from those who self-justify, self-critisise and are self-aware within context. I think the...

    Drag / witch house

    I've always seen DS fitting more with the UK techno style of Downwards/Sandwell District etc than anything else.

    House / Techno 2012

    http://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Rave/release/3516788 Good luck getting hold of it :/ it's listed in Juno as forthcoming too but seems little chance of that happening. Also, new Joy O. ASide doesn't especially leap at me, especially considering how much its been rinsed, but the Shed remix...

    Good piece, you mentioned Ad Hoc and that whole thing really fucking irks me in particular, perhaps because I'm doing the same shit for free! http://adhoc.fm/ 30,000 dollars for a glorified tumblr, the website layout, design and general journalism is terrible. Someone pointed out to me that...

    House / Techno 2012

    I held off on buying this assuming it would filter through to UK stores, regretting it now. Edit: and just got this through the post (for a LOT less than it's being sold now) and it's really beautiful/excellent.

    Never would've guessed id have seen a Hype Williams album in The Times, never mind with 4 stars.

    Narcissist 2

    It's just something to take as part of their schtick, in the 'whole' of their albums it makes sense to me really as part of their aesthetic. For example in One Nation, 'Break4love' is just an orchestral piece played backwards, but in the context of its placement makes it seem particularly...

    not not surprised

    NNF seems to have had its thunder stolen by Browns other (and more overblown) 100% Silk label these days. Have to say I find Peaking Lights much lauded 936 last year overrated too, has no staying power for me at all. Things that are worth delving into; Sex Worker/Ital...
