was it just me, or does mad cigarette smoking spontaneously break out in all drinking establishments outside manhattan about 1:30-2AM?

i have their t-shirt with the bunny and the headphones. love it. i emailed them once to ask a question about printing and they sent me a very polite response, too.

fwiw, moving shadow has licensed tracks to several videogames, notably SSX 3. works quite well in context - i think most people don't really notice those things so much, though. for me it goes back to trent reznor doing all the sound design for quake, which i thought was quite good. also of...

actually alias told me it's by "milkyman" :) proto-grime antecedent: dubaholics' "ska mix" of phat jak - "gangster, mobster" on public demand.

yeah, it's really not very hard to do. actually, though, the pitch down is so steep on screwed tapes that i've always thought they were recorded at normal speed from turntables with chops and scratches and then had the whole business slowed down - in particular, it's hard to get nice clean chops...

you're missing the most important part: grime doesn't venerate the dj like house music or even UKG did. it's a very producer/mc-centric form, like hip-hop. hip-hop djs get big now through winning a trick competition like dmc or being affiliated with a group (a-trak now tours as "KANYE WEST'S...

i don't know that this is quite accurate. while most of the people who are interested enough to go online posting on uptown/ukgww/etc would call themselves "you-kay garidge djs," in its heyday in nyc (the place in this country where it gained the biggest foothold) uk garage was largely folded...

actually, when i was in SF last fall a friend of mine slipped me a flyer for an "underground" - it was a medium-big name house DJ from Chicago playing in some warehouse space out in Oakland. Kid Kameleon told me on the phone the other day they had Surgeon play one of those recently. sounds like...

i agree with this - we ripped this to the xbox and played burnout 3 with that as the soundtrack, and the game slows down dramatically whenever you fuck someone's car up especially well - so whenever that would happen the music would really slip into place and i would think "this is what it must...

i have a copy but can't let it go. you probably know this, but it's on the DTI 2-pack, the one that has the "radio" mix with the long intro of someone scanning the dial across all the pirates.

he would be great regardless if it was TAZ = Temporary Autonomous Zone and he spelled it out in a lyric.

in the mid-late 90s heyday of rave it was not uncommon to see off-duty soldiers rolling at raves in NC - especially around Fayetteville where Ft. Bragg is located. kind of bizarre, yeah? love people all weekend, train to kill them all week... amphetamines are relatively safe for soldiers facing...

jammer having that torn-up throat and mcing anyway is crazy!

needs more bombs. also more rewinds.

erm, can't let you diss my boys http://urbanrenewalrecords.com/discography/ the eric h track in particular is quite grimey and just came out on hotflush "first american grime beat with vocal" might be more appropriate.

the tunes will be great if you haven't heard them already. the mixing will hurt you. sorry, had to say it.

oh come on now. this is a stretch... slurry delivery is probably the only thing odb and bruza have in common and they share it with about a million other rappers (50 cent/biggie/shit, everybody) but, um, it really is yours. take it from me, i'm american. african-american people who are into...

i keep meaning to do some, just for kicks. gimme a week maybe.

can one of you london folks explain more about this whole mockney-cockney thing? as an american i find it somewhat bewildering... like i know wiley will affect a "posh" accent sometimes, which i guess is funny because it's meant to be a product of upper-class (white) upbringing, private schools...

we were talking about this in luka's r'n'b thread. it's that meters break + the "apache" bongos.
