    New R&B

    Are there any more examples of "Jokerpilled" artists?

    New R&B

    Bouncin is a better song, for sure. I reckon Pasedena is rife for layering an Amen track over in the club. New Mahalia riffing on this old Montell Jordan track with the recreation of the Claudja Barry sample. Ending up more of a Bop, than a Banger or Jam.

    New R&B

    You'd be amazed at some of the things people want to talk to me about in the club, i think i almost prefer it when Jamaican girls get my attention by angrily grabbing my hair to pull me over to them to tell me to "stop playing this afrobeats shit and play some bashment" which was also a...

    Anyway, i don't wanna get aggy here, cos you posted some solid jams there.

    New R&B

    You think the performance is the measure, not me. I enjoy r&b on headphones, or in the club, or while actually djing with it. The performers i would be likely to actually go and see would be more from the Neo Soul/Soul/Funk/Jazz camp tbh, so whether or not some R&B singer can perform well, in...

    New R&B

    Okay, i can understand and i respect this way of listening to music, though i don't think it really applies to more underground, or lesser known artists tbh. I don't know if i would put Sevyn Streeter at the same level as Beyonce, Usher, Nelly Furtado etc.

    New R&B

    What does this mean to you as a listener? Because i feel like this with the trappy style beats that absolutely omnipresent in all forms of pop, hop hop and r&b right now. I should say that i am a dj though, and having songs with tresillo, dembow or w/e rhythms makes it all flow when i am...

    lovers jungle

    My friend's radio show was her joining the dots between this sort of Lovers Rock/Smooth R&B Jungle, Happy Hardcore and Rave stuff that i thought worked quite nicely. I found the absolute perfect example of this style on the flip of a 94/95 record, early Roots Manuva production, seems to be in...

    who do you think is good at scratching

    Noize came into the record shop i worked at when i was a teenager, quite a charming fellow. He pulled a record out for me to check and was like "You should check this out, it is dope and has some breaks on it" It was a Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band album... I thanked him, it actually did have an...

    who do you think is good at scratching

    If we're going down that road, DJ Aladdin drunkenly rambling on the mic for 3 minutes before doing the sloppiest, worst dj set ever at a convention dedicated to scratching and turntablism is almost heroic.

    who do you think is good at scratching

    Is anyone as funky as the funky president though? J-Rocc is hands down my favourite person to hear rock doubles of anything.

    Q-Bert on DR Octagon's "Bear Witness" was incredible for the time, shame he is a conspiracy theorist nut/maga chud now. I hung out with him in the 00s and he was really nice.

    Dynamix II - Feel The Bass (1988 and has nice scratching for the time) Hijack - Doomsday Of Rap (1988 this group's scratching was leagues ahead of anyone at the time, technique-wise)

    who do you think is good at scratching

    Craze is the dj i think has a nice balance of funkiness, swing and skill. I think Hype sounds okay for the time, i don't think he really progressed past the pre-flare techniques, which would have probably benefited him for d&b. There's a sort of skill that Premier, Shadow, Cut Chemist and...

    House tunes that UK funky showed us were not boring

    What was the song that sampled this? I played it back in the day in funky sets and i know i have it on my hard drive somewhere, but i can't for the life of me remember what the title is.
