most of the parties/raves i went to as a youngster had loads of oldies, and were all the better for it. it is the countryside so different norms i spose, 39 wouldnt be considered too old at all tho. I went to a banging party recently and id say 40% of the crowd were over 50, all having it in a...

Agree, I think those lot were appreciating him in terms of a slick tech-house dj which is equally bad

was it the one that inspired this? 'The DJ’s predictably-eclectic set was met with disdain by “a contingent of beaked-up kids couldn’t handle his cosmicness,” who proceeded to use their cell phones to show him messages reading “you are the worst DJ ever.” ' i was at that one and he turned...

oh yeah? the people ive met from that crew are a sound bunch, before white hotel and partisan came around the musical landscape in manchester was pretty terrible tbf so im thankful for their existence despite living 100 miles away

dont think so, islington mill doesnt really have events anymore i dont think, which is a shame as it was ace, seemed like bohemian grove went with it. was at that keith worthy one as well as traxx and a few others and they were there best thing going at the time!

theres some good places to go in manchester that have great crowds that arent just socialite posers, the white hotel has become slicker recently but its still got the freaks and locals in, perhaps less than in the past tho. partisan is a co-operative and overtly political venue that has great...

your losing me a bit here droid, your argument a few pages back was that house/techno is all well and good but nothing new has happened for 30 years, but now roots reggae is the avant garde? not that it isnt all the other things you say i hear more diversity in house/techno broadly defined...

also been obsessing over this jovonn track recently, seems like its the only song raymonda did, such a simple vocal and amazing sax, youtube commenter describes its naive beauty which i think is what i love about it

hes the perfect combo of the raw and the refined, tough beats, virtuosic key playing

nice one will give it a listen. been rinsing this GU tune recently, and was also thinking hes one of the best house synth noodlers, can easily sound shite but class when done right

yeah i basically agree with you, i didnt mean to imply that you just didnt get it. just that it took me a while to get it and since then ive not been able to get enough of the good stuff in some tech-house scenes the beige halls are very prevalent and the music is all about maintaining a...

yeah i do know what you mean, but i think its mainly when the kick is the prominent driving feature of a track. its refreshing to hear stuff that doesnt rely on it and i love sets that dip in and out of broken patterns and kicks on the beat. when i was younger i hated 4 to floor and found it...

yeah tbh i was more reffering to the concept of a 1 2 beat than the genre. aka the snare/clap on the 2 and 4 which restricts the beat to a 4/4 time 2step garage has swing cos of everything that is happening around the kick and snare and this can just as easily be done with a kick on every beat...

mindfulness/meditation can be very easily coopted by rightwing thinking cos it is all about taking responsibility for your own reactions. your suffering is the result of your reaction to pain and pleasure and not the thing ostensibly causing the pain. the thing is this is valid and true in...

i dont think its the tempo or the 4/4 kick thats the problem, 4/4 is just 1/1 and in that way its a basic framework that allows for anything else to be laid ontop, in some ways the neutrality of the metronomic kick is a perfect basis for rhythmic diversity, an anchor for other elements to dance...

I can relate to this, dub made me aware of the details, timbre as an element on par with melody, the power of minimalism. All of which are hard to disentangle from getting stoned and both entered my life simultaneously so who knows.

Amazing list thirdform, I've had a good listen to most of it and I feel like theres loads of threads to unpick in there, lots of jumping of point for future discovery. The tracks bring the best out of each other when listened together and the more challenging stuff make sense in the context...

on a smoother vibe more enveloping vibe, jackie mittoo making a rhodes sing

some great selections here, that massive attack one was one of the first dub albums i bought too, took me a while to get into it, possibly due to the tiny speakers i was using at the time Prince Far I - Cry tuff vol 1 is the best dub album ive heard, very psychedelic, love that dripping sound...

I succomed to the promise of future garage to my shame, doomed from the outset, even joined the forum :s . The techno/dubstep crossover that predated it had a lot of tunes that still sound great to me tho, pev, 2562, hessle. heard a few out recently and they sounded amazing amongst the usual...
