uk funky has bum fluff and a day or twos growth but dubstep/post dubstep has FORESTS. the indie thing i was talking about is that a lot of this stuff (prepare for great generalisations) favours a kind of emo-ness over sonic brawn, shyness, a certain tentativeness, its sensitive, kinda...

that one ory posted is fucking amazing. never heard it before.

champion has a certain restrain/control to it tho which is what makes him diff to redlight. redlight seems to produce everything on full on banger mode.

james blake is someone who i would imagine would def get a beard for that sort of grizzled indie living in a log cabin a la bon iver sort of cred. the thing about the beard tom lea was saying is sort of right, but the number of ppl with beards is def a lot larger in this scene than in the funky...

usually i shave twice a week but this week for instance its prob 1 and a half/2 weeks since i last did it so theres quite a bit of growth. i really hate shaving tho. and i look better with facial hair than not. and women, even the ones who say they dont like beards, are into it. not everyone...

blissblog posted some good jungle tracks on his blog. http://blissout.blogspot.com/2011/05/vibing.html#links jungle was just so good really wasnt it? the mid 90s was an amazing period for black music.

the only ones that dont have beards are the ones like ramadanman who look about 12 so cant grow any facial hair even if they wanted but deep down they blatantly want beards too. spiritually, they are bearded producers. im going to start a blog so i can investigate this in more depth.

that redlight track is nuts. whoa. his tracks are a bit loud tho. but he is a dnb producer so not surprising. i do have a sort of image of him in my head as a kind of basement jaxx of funky though, i dont know why. not a dis to BJ either, i liked their earlier stuff.

yeah pacino is lucky cos his beard seems to stop just above the jawline. its very well kept. my beard is still in that early sort of 'newly homeless' stage. but ive got a nice electric razor with diff gradients now so will be putting it to use in the next few days. this is the type of travesty...

mine is more inspired by al pacino in serpico but i am just a dissensus poster, not a producer without a razor hoping to do a mix for websites like factmag in the near future.

re: islamophobia on grimeforum, well thats not really a surprise is it. most of the mcs and producers prob think the same i reckon. but its grime, and being 'enlightened' or at least aspring to it/appearing to be isnt really a grime thing. i mean, theres no great 'intelligent' or even...

i gave in. i sort of like the goblin album now. still stand by what i said before tho. and its much too long. i dont have time for that much tyler in my life.

you can tell the indie kids have moved in to dubstep when half of these producers being touted as the next great thing all have these huge great scruffy beards like theyve been in the wild half their life. if you look at all the great london/uk producers of the past 15-odd years, none of them...

^^^the correct response. nothing special imo. and the sample doesnt even have anything anthemic/memorable about how its deployed. its just there. like he though oh shit i want some R&B thing in there and went for brandy cos ramadanman and a couple others have sampled her. i like the bass and...

i like brandy and the song its sampling, but im a bit wary of R&B samples in this kind of thing now.

after listening to qutie a bit of rinse last week this stuff is growing on me, in a sort of 'tribute/homage-step' way, its all basically rearrangements of stuff i already know in some form or fashion, doesnt exactly make me think 'what is THAT', but hey, not everything has to. not feeling that...

i recorded rashad and spinn on radio 1. link here - http://www.mediafire.com/?cm2z1621r6k35m4

never even knew that tiger style track got released. i thought spyro made it.

so weird, but good to hear footsie over a bassline track (chorus isnt the best but hey). or just something that fast, actually.

this is seriously, seriously good.
