Shocking story http://michaelrosenblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/gove-nicked-our-schools-and-handed-them.html

Amazing find... so weird to hear this stuff in relatively high fidelity at the right speed. On the Wu...I'm sure I've read Ghostface interviews where he says basically 'yeah everyone takes a bit here and there and chips in together'. Other people alleging he just rips them off with no credit...

I likee the weirdness! Here's a new one I've finished I think. <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src=""></iframe>

Excellent point. Yeah, I think the best way to think about this is as complex networks of influence rather than through totemic figures. Originality and influence are everywhere. You can find people making in records in detroit and chicago who each sound closer to people in different cities in...

Yeah, actually I feel like the importance of italo in the emergence of techno is underplayed. Some of the early italo stuff sounds v advanced. But that's maybe another question. I think it can be interesting to see the whole complex of records as a kind of internationalism which also plays off...

Sorry, my last post was sloppy. I'll try and get what I mean again. I guess I'm trying to say that young black musicians listening to european pop music in detroit and being inspired by some elements of what they heard, and back and forth shouldn't diminish anyone's sense the originality of...

Good post but I think your logic is in danger breaking down a little bit. You seem to imply that europhilia amongst young black people isn't something that is a legitimate position, or that they weren't aware of how naive this position was or something, as if there is an essential historical set...

Yes, I enjoyed reading that last night. Cheers padraig.

This track is an absolute thumper. About as banging an italo track as there was, it sounds almost Daft Punk esque.

For anyone looking to get into italo and not sure where to start I'd check out this list by generally well respected italo dj flemming dallum. http://www.discogs.com/lists/FLEMMING-DALUM-italo-favorits/192414?page=1 Has a lot of the best and most well-known tunes. There's lots out there if...

Yeah, those aren't hipsters.

Having troubling understand that tbh. Ghettoville is worse because it's thematically unified?

This is a quality beat... love when it goes mental halfway through

Got a bunch of new ones up <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src=""></iframe> <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src=""></iframe> <iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src=""></iframe> <iframe width="100%"...

All the Drexciya heads should check out 'La Maison' - a weird pretty much forgotten italian krautrock band that manages to basically sound like Drexciya in 1981. Really great stuff. Also the two new albums by Yong Yong confirm them as a pretty great new act. Probably the most interesting stuff...

RDR - Could you make it a poll? I'm in agreement with you for all the reasons you said - I'd be shocked if many picked cinema .

Well yeah that is pretty on the money

Ha-ha, indeed... :confused:

I just think that his stuff isn't even particularly accomplished in terms of what it is - which is basically kind of distorted IDM. Listen to say, Lusine from 15 years ago, it sounds pretty damn similar...and probably better. So the hype is doubly galling in that it both misrecognises what...
