It's really hard to push your mind past what his tunes are built up on. Some of the way he samples would never fly for a producer other than him, you'd send it to someone and they'd just laugh and tell you to learn how to use a sampler. However, it IS a good album I"ll say. Not a masterwork...
it's a better tune for sure, production wise and dynamics wise, but in terms of being a direct dancefloor tune that gets right to the point and goes off (without resorting to ugly distorted wobbles) mngo is more suited.
Vinyl only is like part of the concept behind DMZ. Trying to keep that jungle tradition alive. That's why there's so many dubplates, no represses. It's a labour of love, not of money. It's all about traditions.
Is it a comp? Feels like we're stuck in a comp era, the Hyperdub and Warp ones have been pretty damn cool. A DMZ cd would be too cool.
He wouldn't be a great if he wasn't suffering somewhere in obscurity.
I'm in Vancouver too, lets start a Garage/Funk night. Anyway I wonder what they'll call this chaos in a few years, (dark) garage into dubstep took a couple years to sort out. This is moving much faster, though with the same confusion. I wonder where it'll end up in another year if it starts...
I'd always been aware of Dudziak, since I'm Polish. But I never knew she went on these kinds of electronic excursions. Crazy electronic/a cappella stuff. Found via faltydls twitter.

I always though just calling all that stuff Post-Garage would be really cool. But, maybe that's cause I think Post Punk was one of the coolest genre names. & it's a bit backwards, because it's more like bringing garage tendencies to other music, and not bringing them to garage.
Ok so I like the idea of funkstep because I can stop making 'dubstep'. But really, it's a terrible name. Like really bad, but I guess that goes with the UK trend. Garage was alright, but honestly dubstep, grime and funky are some bad names.
R Kelly's a performance artist. He was once maced by one of Jay-Z's bodyguards on tour, because Jay-Z and him hadn't been getting along. The bodyguard was then made an exec for Jay-Zs label.
