Just watching an episode of the Beeb's 'Civilisations' - the content aside, it's the style I'm interested in. It's all ambient, soaring, cinematic music/muzak (I've heard an instrumental version of a Coldplay track in an arts program). It's slow motion shots, fancy filming, not really a...

Two in a row I noticed in Ant Man just now 'youve jeapordised the whole mission!' And 'did I hear that right? Did you just compliment me?!' I could do this shit

http://www.vulture.com/2018/02/quincy-jones-in-conversation.html Slags off the Beatles, pours scorn on Hendrix, defames Michael Jackson, etc. Classic

Inspired by listening to Björk's NTS set today https://www.nts.live/shows/guests/episodes/bjork-12th-january-2018 It's not a set you would mosh to in a club but as something to listen to it's pretty mindblowing at times. (My marijuana-addled mind, admittedly.) I really liked the Kelela album...

Or die trying Let's say a maximum of 3 videos per post or else it'll be a fucking tidal wave won't it

Under music videos. A place to share the wisdom/passion/stupidity of effectively anonymous youtube people. Just noticed while listening to an oldskool electro mix that the comments underneath add a touch of melancholy to listening cos it's all people reminiscing about when they were young and...

I love electro but I don't know much outside of Legowelt and Drexciya. I like that it can be very dreamy, like 16 bit video game music, but it can also be mechanical and hard as fuck. This thread includes all iterations of electro - Mantronix and chums, e.g. are very much invited Starter for...

(List under the link) The last few years have seen a noticeable increase of interest in the 90s Memphis Underground by everyone from hypebeasts to music journalists to internet kids to metal nerds to old heads, in addition to a heavy influence on the internet-centric cloud rap scene. In the 90s...

Got a phone upgrade the other day, they chucked in a 'free' VR headset. I wasn't that bothered about it but trying it out I've been pretty amazed by how good it is - and this isn't even a specialist VR like PlayStation VR and Oculus Rift. Now I guess what you're all thinking is - 'he went...

Are there tunes that are now played in e.g. old skool garage sets which you wouldn't have thought would end up canonised, and tunes you thought would be that have been forgotten? I wasn't around for jungle, garage, etc. so it might be interesting to find out about the fluctuation of popularity...

What would be your 200th-101st best records of all time?

Watched the Brian Wilson biopic Love and Mercy t'other night. Aside from making me finally 'get' Pet Sounds, it brought up the idea of musical competition to me. Brian Wilson was being spurred on by hearing Beatles records. Not wanting to get left behind by them, wanting to outdo them. So...

May vs Corbyn is a foregone conclusion, let's have a really substantive argument. Or let's just watch Luka and Craner have one.

More specifically dance music, of the sort which traditionally (or originally) had an anti-establishment charge. What do you make of it? I'm talking Red Bull Music Academy, DJ sets at Uniqlo, Budweiser sponsored Boiler Rooms, etc. Brands courting street cred.

'The man behind the Roland drum machine and synthesiser range used across the spectrum of popular music since the mid-70s – from Prince to New Order, from Dr Dre to Kraftwerk – has died. Ikutaro Kakehashi founded the Roland Corporation in 1972 and went on to develop one of the most well-known...

This is partly an excuse to post this tune up after I've already done a COTD, but why not pay tribute to the Motor City? A good excuse to post 🔥 tunes from across the years, and - in true Dissensus style - wax lyrical about the possible connections between the post-industrial landscape and the...

Just saw that Cristiano Ronaldo was trending on FB's Twitter-esque chart, and clicked on it. Didn't realise you can read 'normal' people's opinions there. They go on at much greater length than on Twitter, which means you can really get an insight into their mad minds. E.G. 'This man knows...

Doesn't have to be a thousand FYI, I ain't Malcolm Gladwell. Any genre is acceptable. I was thinking of rap music, when a beat gets made and is either so good or used in such a successful tune that it gives birth to a thousand/million bedroom imitators. I'm pretty sure this is a good example...
