    Jackin' / Electroline

    Jackin' / Electroline

    funky utilised the internet in the same way that jackin does now - youtube/soundcloud marketing, ukfunky.net (obviously not as awe inspiringly massive as bigtunesmp3) - the 'collision' with the internet you talk about translates, i think, to just 'more people from different places using it'...

    House / Techno 2012

    dope jams was ok. i had a good time looking round it a while ago. lots of overpriced bootlegs but some good stuff too but the constant setting up of themselves as these martyrs who suffer for their principles and just "tell it like it is" is a bit tiring. like an angry teenage diary that's...

    Albums of the year 2012

    house and techno is the shared reference point for all of this, which might make comparisons seem interesting or worthwhile but in reality its too broad for that. some of my favourite music comes from that world, and also some of the stuff i dislike the most. all the house that comes from the...

    Albums of the year 2012

    im genuinely staggered that this is still being talked about in this way. its not as if the arguments involved on either side have become any more nuanced over the past 10 or however many years that people have been bickering about it. i joined this place in 2005 i think and all that's changed...

    is music too middle class?

    sorry dude, but saying that "class is meaningless" and that "lower class" people can "transcend" their "social standing" through music sets off some pretty loud alarm bells. no matter how cosmic or grandiose your music might be, it's still written by, consumed by and distributed by people in...

    is music too middle class?

    try switching the word class in your post with a few other things and see if it still seems palatable to you

    Jackin' / Electroline

    ... think it shares an aesthetic with a lot of this stuff. not my favourite zed b tune ever lol the music posted in this thread basically represents the spectrum of house music made for massive spaces, with MC presence pretty much the only element which helps differentiate it. i guess that's...

    Vinyl dying (for DJ's)

    buying older music digitally can be dangerous, particularly older stuff that's been licensed and re-licensed loads of times the only thing you know about the file you're going to end up with is what bitrate it is, and that doesn't really tell you that much
