    I liked the old smilies better

    I liked their cute blue bevelled faces. I even nicked them for the old version of my board. Can't stand in the way of progress though.

    Indian influences in the reggae 'nuum

    Wondering if anyone can enlighten me on Indian influences in the development of popular music in Jamaica/the Caribbean. I've seen loads of references to the introduction of ganja to the region by Indian indentured servants. And I'm sure i've read about musical cross-polination as well, but...

    mp3 query: spectral rehab?

    A while back a posted a question about the sonic qualities/faults of mp3s as digital "DJ" fodder, whether in a club space or a mix. I'm still trying to sort these things out. My question, for any DJs/engineers/bass materialism theorists out there, is: what sonic features are really lost in the...

    londonunderlondon

    Who's locked in to the Scanshifts/ k-punk audiomentary right now on Resonance? It's like a beautiful dark dream. Abandoned underground tunnels, troglodytes, fleeting Drumz churning , shy animals, ethereal grime... Is anyone recording this?

    BBC on reggaeton

    Featured on the main page of their international news site today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4304185.stm It's about what you'd expect, but this tidbit of musicological insight caught my eye: "Reggae is said first to have arrived in Latin America with Jamaican labourers who worked on...

    new grime/dubstep mix - this one is computerised

    My first "DJ" mix on a computer. I put this together in Ableton Live using a mix of ripped vinyl and mp3s. (p2p is the new diggin' in the crates, innit?) I don't know the name of the fifth tune. Sounds like Plastic Man. Anyway, I nicked it from that Big Apple mix of his (bad form I know...

    cyberreggae.com?

    Just discovered this site (http://www.cyberreggae.com). It's like Bleep for reggae with 88 cent downloads. I did a few searches and the selection seems decent, although I'm not enough a reggae head to really put it to the test. I was wondering if any of the Dissensus reggae crew had ever used...

    Pow for the unrequited - Forward on Relentless

    This is old news to some folks, I guess, but what's the deal with the so-called Original mix of Forward Riddim on the Relentless 12"? Not only are some of the lyrics edited, but the whole final verse is missing ("shoot it, shoot it, shoot it...") and the de facto final final verse gets...

    Short grime doc

    I found this short documentary linked in the UKG Forum at leerees.co.uk. Just wondering if anyone's seen it/had any thoughts. It's very Wiley-centred. There's only a brief mention of Dizzee. They talk to Kano, Tinchy, God's Gift and Ruff Squad. There's a bit of footage from an Eskimo dance...

    What? Blog Shares?

    I don't know where to start asking questions about this. Can anyone help me understand what Blog Shares is/does/means? I just Googled my blog and found it. Apparently someone's buying up all my "stock" (?). I don't think I'm even a controlling partner anymore.

    mp3 DJing

    Is anyone here doing this? I'm wondering whether the sound quality of files converted from mp3 will be decent enough to play on a system in a small-ish space. Obviously if I have a file that sounds like shit in my headphones it won't sound any better over a PA. But I'm wondering if there's a...

    Things etched in vinyl

    Hve you ever looked closely at your vinyl and found little messages etched in near the label? You'll usually find catalogue numbers etched in around the lock groove. Often there's some indication of which side is which. Sometimes the pressing plant will mark their work as well, either by...
