I swear I distinctly remember him namechecking Photek and specifically saying that he inspired him to chop all the decay off his snares.

I tend to stick to the more techno side of things, so... Zach Lubin (formerly The Mumtaz), Traxx, The Dirty Criminals, Hieroglyphic Being / IBM, Soultek, Kate Simko are the ones who are getting out there a lot... Lots of kids making beats and just playing live PAs to a few people and such...

Yeah, my friend Dave does it. He also has a Friday night show on WNUR with Matt MacQueen called Clinically Inclined and does a monthly at Sonotheque... You can check them out at Sonic Sunset I wouldn't say that even begins to scrape the surface of the Chicago "house" scene, though, given...

This has started happening quite a bit in Chicago, actually. Our grime scene here is pretty much entirely hipster-based. It's not the hip hop scene at all, it's the kids who are into DFA/electro/Hollertronix and all that. We've actually gotten a lot of hype in the local press about it as...

I saw Whitehouse here (Chicago) a few weeks back and was a little surprised. Enjoyed it, but not what I was expecting.

I recorded it, but I lent the MP3 player to a friend so he could record a techno set he was playing this weekend. I'll check it out when I get it back from him and if the recording's any good, I'll post it up.

Awesome, thanks for coming through!

welcome to detroit is the heat.

I'm definitely a big fan of the recent return to "gritty" in house music along the lines of Audion, James Cotton, The Dirty Criminals, etc... If anybody wants to hear some, here's a mix I did last year: atomly live @ happy ending, nyc (2004/08/20) [mp3] Tracklisting: telex - moscow discow...

"Grindin'" is definitely up there, along with "Are You That Somebody," "Try Again," "Drop It Like It's Hot" and "When Doves Cry." I mean, "When Doves Cry" doesn't even have a chrous or bass line. Oh, and I can't believe all that System of a Down shit got so popular. Fucking weird. And Tool.

Haha... Sounds like you saw my old roommate DJing.

My anthem set: atomly - grime @ lava (mp3) Tracklisting: Roll Deep - When I'm 'Ere Lethal B - Pow! Wiley - Eskimo Skepta - DTI Kano - Boys Luv Girls Dizzee Rascal - Stand Up Tall Musical Mob - Pulse-X Pay As U Go - Know We Wiley - Wot Do U Call It? Kano - Ps & Qs Medasyn - The Battle Terror...

Jesus. What the fuck happened to Mobb Deep? Too bad "Shook Ones, Pt. 2" is still the best hip hop song ever except maybe "NY State of Mind."

God I love that CD. I also am a big fan of the Sleeparchive stuff that was a direct descendent of it.

Don't forget the "Guide to Baile Funk" that was posted here a while back too.

He played here with Diplo on Friday and totally killed it. If he's in your hood, check it out for sure.

Poland -> Detroit -> NYC -> Berlin if you really wanna split hairs.

if you look around the net, you can find hundreds of articles about how to make "jungle basslines" (usually by this people mean late nineties tech step style b-lines), which pretty much applies still.
