really enjoyed this. I'd been meaning to give this berlin tune a similar treatment for years.

You can differentiate between theorizing as part of creating and theorizing as part of listening. i think its a vital part of creating, - and going deeper into conceptual territory is so often rewarded by better end results. But that doesn't at all mean it needs to be a vital part of...

i skipped to riff raff. weird how i often initially despise rappers that i later become addicted to. lil b, max b, gunplay, this guy.

I think the "music shouldn't be done as work" is very often a protective rationalisation used by hobbyists who aren't creatively capable enough to achieve that goal, or an self-excusing rationalisation made by people who don't want to pay for other people's art. I think career artists who limit...

"previously known as postdubstep.tumblr.com" fuck everything about this.

>danny brown >xzibit. the fuck. he's like the anti-xzibit. ok how about a hold on the random db comparisons, until you've listened to his music more at least. xxx and / or hawaiian snow, they're worth listening in their entirety. hybrid etc if u like more trad detroit stuff. honestly i think...

lol earl's mum send him to what was basically a hardcore summer camp. danny openly admits to his gangster content as being way out of date, like he hasn't sold crack in almost 10 years or something. i dont really care, i dont really how legit most rappers are in reality, so long as they are...

yeh although some people would use it more broadly to include non-atlanta coke rap like clipse or dipset.

oh i cant be categorical about it you'd probably know more about the production credits than me. but that 808 trap style has been around for years hasnt it, yeh like shawty redd gucci mane productions. lex's signature trap style was the dense snare rush fills and the overall doom intensity...

yep was going to say S-X except he actually defines himself as a hiphop producer afaik

Girl Unit, Zomby, Lunice & Kuedo have done vaguely trap influenced stuff. people tend to read such patterns as being derived from dubstep tho, following their expectations. lots of similar people are playing luger and araabmuzik productions in their sets, it is exerting influence. There's a...

re zomby is or not p-ds.. "being" postdubstep is almost as old as dubstep.. in that post is as much response to the thing, as it is a broader timeline point. so imo zombys always been that and so's hyperdub mostly (quarta samiyam etc). if we are to legitimize the term by asking whither or not...

na i reckon dubstep, like say techno (looking at it from afar), has had a tendency for shrouded-ness. i can think of several big-ish DS acts who employ anonymity full time, more who've toyed off and on. Interesting when its rare, quite commendable when its honest. but can be just a rouse for...

man i had the exact same rant at a friend who was hyping about some new post dubstep act who didnt let anyone see their faces, didnt give anything away about themselves, avoiding the hype etcetcetcetcetc i couldnt believe he brought into that shit with such abandon. They're just strategizing a...

idk tho, would be interesting if personality aspects were proven to link with music preference. like if narcissism was linked to genre x, empathy with genre y, smug wankitude with genre z. Actually this is probably how we characterture genres already. idk how to spell characterture.

yeh. no. idm, genre-idm, isnt my music at all. Just think the SR derived description of the entire genre is quite objectionable, and oversubscribed. The preference toward other musics i share overall. some soul-jazz types* i know turn make an audible shitnosey sneer if metal or any noise music...

LOL . ppl like zomby and falty DL love squarepusher, autechre, rephlex, early warp, i dont know wtf dissensus' problem is. well i do & dont need it explained, just think its a stupid entrapment by narrative. Its turning a principled nose up to a lot of good , interesting music that's deeply...

well american rave artists dont see idm as this shame genre, in the way that nuumy old london ravers do.

machinedrum's new shit is sick tho so whatevs

so zomby dedication is out, and been streaming in full for a long while. but no dissensus thoughts yet? im sure there are some
