My apologies if you took that personally, which is really not what I intended with my friendly baiting of 'purists'. As you rightly observe, dancehall's "constant, eliptical referencing, versioning and reinterpreting of the most unlikely sources" is an integral part of the music and therefore...

@ bassnation "giggling idm boys"... Kid 606? Dunno about Squarepusher (Hard Normal Daddy is awesome still!), personally I prefer things more on the Bong-Ra/Enduser/Soundmurderer end of the spectrum... [Check Bong-Ra's site for some wicked ragga jungle mixes ["Yardcore?"] and Enduser's for a...

You're right of course, but I still think Stereotyp's take on dancehall strays from the template in the sense that a lot of his things, particularly My Sound, seem cold, cerebral and spacy/dubbed out when compared to the exuberance, freshness/hotness, booty factor and occasionally claustrophobic...

You're right, of course. Thanks for spotting that. My third-generation taped copy has no musician credits, and I somewhat hastily attributed the recording to the wrong man. My apologies.

'Course not! But there's people who don't like when it strays too far from the template or gets too harsh (i.e. The Bug). They're probably not going to like Stereotyp's stuff, but telling them you think they probably won't might just rile them enough to want to check it out, y'know what I mean?

Damn right. You might be surprised what people in the dancehall are up for!

Not a Laibach fan, but their cover of the Beatles' "One after 909" is fantastic. Twisted, but fantastic.

I only found out recently that Roedelius has been living in Baden, just south of Vienna, since quite a long time, a fact unnoticed by most of the world. He's a fascinating character and a living legend who pops up every so often to play records in bars, then disappears again. He's done some...

Incidentially, did anyone go to that Streetmusic Arabe thing at London's QEH recently? DJ /rupture/Nettle, Nass el Ghiwane, Clotaire K... I'd have liked to hear it (especially Nass e. G. and Rupture's DJ set). @ matt b The Bug is pretty awesome live (especially through a brutally good sound...

I dunno any of the Techno Animal stuff. Kevin Martin seems to be quite a busy guy, though: From the IPECAC site... "Kevin Martin then: Formed & disbanded God (working with John Zorn, Bill Laswell, AMM), joined & left Sonic Boom's EAR project (alongside ex-members of Spacemen 3 & Kevin Shields)...

A Glücklich overview here. There's five of them, I think Vols. 1+2 are the best, with later Volumes veering too much toward downtempo for my liking. Dauner also appears on Sugarcane Harris's Got the Blues (MPS) with Robert Wyatt and Volker Kriegel/Terje Rypdal. There's also the United Jazz +...

I love Lenky and Vendetta, too, but I guess you either buy into The Bug or you don't, with little middle ground. And yes, he takes what are essentially feel-good party/bashment vibes into rougher, darker, more claustrophobic regions, with results you can or cannot appreciate. If you value crisp...

I respect your opinion, but I find The Bug quite good at what he does, to be honest - maybe not everything on Pressure but there's some class remixes and 12"s, and he definitely has the stronger side on the split EP with DJ /rupture. Funny his take on dancehall should be critisized for being...

Thanks, Sufi, I've bookmarked him.

@ Sufi, @ Wrong (you're not doing your name justice here) : Total agreement. The rise of Islamist movements in a fairly recent phenomenon in Iraqi history*, and I think their present success is partially due to the fact that Islamists give the disparate resistance forces...

Someone (bassnation) mentioned this in passing somewhere and I've been meaning to do the same in a bit more detail. The RBMA is a annual event held in a different location every year where producers and DJs from all over the world meet for a week of sessions and musical exchange. This year's...

If it's half as good as this, it's damn good. I'll definitely give it a listen.

Just got this and thought someone might want to go... "THUR 18th NOV TETINE CD LAUNCH PARTY @ Guanabara, on Parker Street, Corner of Drury Lane, London WC2B 5PW We're delighted to invite you to our launch party this Thursday Nov 18th at Guanabara! Slum Dunk, Tetine's weekly radio show on...

Nice one, thanks! I'm especially looking forward to the Ron Hardy/Larry Levan/Frankie Knuckles/Farley "Jackmaster" Funk ones ... Jeff Mills!

Indeed.
