we're doing a run the road release party after the show in chapel hill nc next thurs. will be interesting to scope the turnout.

I'm going to interview Alias in the next couple days - since I know they've come up here before ("Warriors," "Gully" w/ Crazy Titch & Keisha from Sugababes) I figured you all might have something interesting to ask them. Personally I find "Gully" most thought-provoking - such a bizarre jump from...

i agree and have found this annoying for years. personally i prefer 4x4, "four by four" since it's easier to say and makes sense - four kicks by four beats. the new 4x4 stuff is ok but hardly new exciting music - nothing i've heard from these guys strays too far from the dem 2 / todd edwards /...

actually dinesh is of indian descent. knowing this makes his production tendencies toward indian/london musical fusion make more sense.

But isn't that just the same as dancehall? Not that I'm a Stelfox but I was under the impression that many popular dancehall artists tend to flip-flop between religious exhortation and glorification of violence, like when 50 Cent thanks God in his liner notes.

This is because a lot of said journos would rather steal off blissblog/silverdollarcircle and go back to safe hip genres that send them nice 1-sheet promo blurbs to regurgitate. Seriously, the level of lazy-ass critical bandwagoneering in the US has reached a nadir with this grime blip (Vivian...

Here's what I'll be giving out at WMC this week - part 1 is grime, followed by the dubstep/broken beat fusiony stuff a lot of the North American producers are coming up on now. Contains tracks by board members! There's more talk about it on the blog page with the download...

good article jess- your descriptions are lovely! minor correction: doogz/goodz came up through boyz in the hood (he's titch's brother) but i'm pretty sure he was never in roll deep; beefed with dizzee and maybe wiley too? not sure about wiley. there's also dog-z/dogzilla who was in PAYG and is...

erm, yes, now that i think about it i should stipulate this was really more late 2-step, more like 2001-02 really. durex #9 - heard this was y-tribe; there were a few months when everybody was playing it. has a piano breakdown like "basslick" but better drums, whipcracks, orgasmic shrieks...

there was a lot of stuff roundabout 2002-3 we used to call "socabeat" - notably k2 family "bouncin' flow". if that's what you're interested in there's a bunch more i can list for you.

i got a copy of "2nd round ko" on vinyl for 99c the other day. that's all the canibus i need.

iirc matt shadetek lives mostly in berlin.

probably. it's the stop/start timbalandish beat with bells in it. original chorus has a female vocal... "make love to me" - "touch - MEEE!"

yeah, to be honest i don't have any interest anymore in taking mdma in front of a large group of people - it was great at a rave or other permissive environment, but now i would just rather not have my friends laughing at me for running around feeling things and chewing my cheek out. i hardly...

yeah, that doesn't sound much like demon - plus he was on forward 1 and none of the other mcs save lethal were http://www.lushforums.com/ftopic22688.html says it's "scampi" - who's that?

"is she the reason" is the big one, but iirc (i didn't help buy that yukon mind you) he also did about 4 others. http://www.fmsound.net/NewReleases/Articles/Destiny's%20Child/Destiny%20Fulfilled.html says: girl / bad habit / if / free / through with love / love i think 9th said he only did 5...

hell yeah that's my joint any rnb song that chops up an apache break is fine by me. and it's wicked minimal - basically just those drums and the electric guitar progression. personally, i find amerie to be a more palatable version of beyonce - similar voice but not given to all those fucking...

mega's a SF native; been with it since 2-step days. he plays hip-hop and d'n'b too and has won some local competitions, i think. has been threatening since last year to put a grime mix out. i can get you his email address if you like - pm me.

no, that's the later "blue kards" EP. "cape fear" is from '96 iirc; if memory serves it predates locked on the label. "blue kards" is excellent too, though.

Freaknik. Sadly quashed now, this was like Carnival for the Southeast - essentially, it was Black Spring Break in landlocked Atlanta through the 1990s. The Twins are from Atlanta and I bet this would be a good way to get them talking about the roots of crunk - "miami bass," a lot of which came...
