I wanted to share this goldmine of unreleased Neptunes piffery with whoever what cares on here. And then I thunked: why not broaden this thread's remit so even those poor unfortunates who don't enjoy the Neptunes can join in?

Please name and shame, ideally with links to their work and explanations of why you like them.

Looking for similar stuff. Doom. Gloom. Moogs.

Here's my (entirely subjective) best of Joni Mitchell playlist. I'm throwing it together by listening to all of Joni Mitchell's album in chronological order, out of the corner of my ear, at work. Needless to say, this is all being very haphazardly executed. This is a bad idea, insofar as I...

Really into some of her music. As a musical (and indeed general) ignoramus I'm not sure where this fits into the current landscape. I stumbled across her through an ILX Spotify playlist. I'd be happy to learn of similar music. It's kind of an 80s throwback, isn't it? Kate Bush is the influence...

Fly, my pretties! Fly!

The original Not bad, The remix Classic. Maybe this is because I've just heard the remix so many times without hearing the original but the original doesn't seem in the 'right' key to me at all. They've changed the whole feeling of the words by changing that harmonic emphasis - it...

Sadmanbarty has very helpfully compiled a Youtube list of choons in this thread: watch?v=5Msy8GaFIEE&index=1&list=PLUauGzUG35p6KfsG2XWGZCl6msqcU4Fhr UK Funky meets Trap/Road Rap? I'm mildly curious as to whether Drake's 'One Dance' will trigger some sort of funky resurgence ala the Grime...

I am planning to save some of my ill-gotten gains up over the next few months to buy some speakers. Currently, I have some 200 quid monitors that were useful for production but aren't that great for listening to music on. My housemate has some KRK 8s which seem fantastic for listening to music...

A thread to discuss the current Drake-induced phenomenon of Americans having heard of Skepta/Crazy Cousinz possibly being persuaded into making funky again. Is it a coming of age, a tipping point, a much deserved and delayed coronation? Or is it just Drakeula looking for a new angle for his...

I'm going to cyprus on saturday. I've been put in charge of securing appropriate poolside music. I have spotify, but would also appreciate summery mixes. I've tried google and a load of horrible cafe del mar style shit comes up. PLEEEEEEEEASE

I always love finding a writer online who I enjoy so much that I am compelled to read dozens of articles by them. As shit as my attention span is these days, it's no surprise that I read a lot more long form journalism and critical writing than I do novels/books. I read a lot of stuff in The...

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/mar/13/party-young-people-debt-jogging-drinking-fitness I've scanned this article while at work so I've not ascertained to what extent it's a load of cobblers, but it interests me to consider if this phenomenon (if such a phenomenon exists) has had...

I've been listening to Soundbombing 1 and 2, Superrappin' and Lyricist Lounge over the last few days and rediscovering the modest pleasures that attend late 90's underground rap music. Of course, you get some complete no hopers, some wild eccentrics who veer all over the place, a general lack...

Basically I mean anything from that grime/funky/jungle end of things, ideally would have MC/s on it but not necessarily. Also wondering what's going on on this end of the spectrum these days. Where are the Petchy equivalents in 2016? Do they even exist? Really this was going to be...

Do you do it? Does it effect your taste? Has it been a positive influence on your relationship with music? Did it hook you into music that you couldn't understand when sober?

There's something in the air, I'm seeing a lot of tweets about this. Not solely the gentrification, the bandwagon jumping. What's going on?

Playlists are also acceptable. Inspired to make this thread by coming across lists compiled by rateyourmusic user ''diction'' today: http://rateyourmusic.com/~diction He has listed the top albums in Hip-Hop year by year (not sure where up to but at least 1995), with explanations of why he...

I love listening to music alone but there's really nothing that beats seeing a tune go off in a crowd (the only thing that would top this is presumably playing the tune yourself). I want to be fed your happy memories through my computer screen and remember why I got into dance music in the first...
