    The Middle East/Islam as a trope in electronic music

    This album that was released on LIES has ME themes/overtones (obviously the name, but also in some of the sounds used): http://hardwax.com/66109/jahiliyya-fields/unicursal-hexagram/ Very good record, I think.

    Is Django Unchained racist?

    Waltz is pretty decent, and Foxx is good, too. When I watched it I thought that several things were "problematic" - the language used, SLJ's character (esp as a contrast to Fox's...hard to describe without spoilers). Well made but with some serious issues. This piece, though, gives an...

    The Middle East/Islam as a trope in electronic music

    This thread made me think of Badawi, although he was born in Israel afaik before moving to New York at a young age. So, not the same as really as an outsider making music inspired by the ME, but tangentially related and I think his music is quite interesting (and he worked with/knows...

    Music 2013

    I'd say definitely. I love "Justified" but I think "F/L" is better.

    Jackin' / Electroline

    Jimi pointed out that there's jackin' stuff that's very close to tech house. Tim F (as per usual, eloquently and in a very interesting way) described why he likes those two jackin' tunes. Tim F (and a lot of other people on ILX) also like a certain type of tech house afaik (in particular the...

    House / Techno 2012

    Haha, that's pretty great (though I love that Drexciya compilation, and "...maybe we need to establish a full blown Morelli/L.I.E.S-esque boycott" seems odd to me). Their RA interview was quite good, too. I'd love to visit the place if I'm ever in NYC, though I suspect that I'm precisely the...

    Post-Rebecca Black T(w)een Pop Eeriness

    When parents decide to indulge their kids and pay for these songs/videos, do they not realise how much shit their kid is potentially going to get in school for it?

    Albums of the year 2012

    idk, I've seen the Hessle guys on two occasions this year (UFO b2b Pearson b2b Pangaea at Robert Johnson in Frankfurt and UFO last weekend in Cologne) and both parties had people dancing a lot the whole time, until like 6 am.

    What is the worst thing you've heard this year?

    Isn't trailing videos pretty much the norm in pop now?

    What is the worst thing you've heard this year?

    There's this remix of Mercy that I heard in this Dro Carey mix (which is also one of my favourite/most-listened to mixes from this year) that I really like: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rJPF4knZCDM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Fairly...

    What is the worst thing you've heard this year?

    Multiples posts about Krit in Spin, New Yorker and Pitchfork reviews of Lamar (9.5 + album of the year afaik in the latter), reviews of Ab-Soul album/tracks and multiple Curren$y tapes/albums in Pitchfork (arguably one of the widest read music sites around?) ≠ music press ignoring these artists...

    What is the worst thing you've heard this year?

    lol yes those massive unknowns Ab-soul, Big Krit, Curren$y, Kendrick Lamar not getting any coverage from the music press.
