I just picked up a old scratched up copy of Farley Jackmaster Funk's "Funkin with the Drums Again", This I like, a lot, anything else this hardhitting exist? Particularly from the golden age?

You could also make a decent case for straight forward toasting, Juakali is pretty adept at crowd control + decent rhymes.

Just an aside, I think its odd that Stelfox who is the quintessential reggae fan, and Tim who is incredibly knowledgeable about 2- step, Both dislike dubstep. It either too respectful, (ie too conservative) or too oblivious of its actual roots (too experimental). But not enough of...

For a beautiful example of techno sounding dubstep, you cannot go wrong with D1. The guys a sleeping giant of a producer. One of these days everything that gets said about Skream (next Aphex Twin, blah, blah, genius, blah) is probably going to be true about D1. Beautiful stuff.

Well I was kind of hoping that some of the "hordes of the midwest" might get it. Might be easier to get gigs that way.

Two dubs to keep an eye out for, Summer Dreams by the Digital Mystikz and Harpoon by Scuba. I think that you may be pleasantly surprised, (or incredibly turned off). Lounge dubstep almost.

Yeah somebody better tell Coki that he's making music for white boy IDM heads.

Well there is definitely a lot of "macho-nonsense" but there is a also a lot of just plain E-d up weirdness. Its really fun, strange music. Some of it is totally hardcore rap, and some of the songs are just about getting stupid. Its the mix of the two that interests me, but I'm a lot more...

Records-wise I'd be happy with anything from say 88 post acid house to the present day.

Seriously though, you should check some of this stuff out. E-40s totally in the tradition of Digital Underground/Too-Short. He's stayed true to the West Coast electro sound, along with G-Funk, for his entire career. This recent stuff stays in that vein.

Hey Ed, like your beats! Still rocking out to Metronome quite a bit!

Could anyone give me some pointers for Deep House records, either that or NY garage? I know a bit about Levan, Frankie Knuckles, and their relationship to techno and house. I'm looking for good records with that kind of deep techno sounding synths, but also with vocals. I know that House...

At Dub War 4 I watched Joe Nice drop Conference, the place went nuts, I was to busy doing my little skank to really notice that the guys at the front of the stage were bouncing. It all depends on the energy of the night and the DJ.

The stuff he did with Jay Da as Ghost is prime. Particularly like The Spooks. That is like the cornerstone of the dubstep sound right there.

When I said everyone I meant America. Or at least American pop radio audiences.

Far as I know, platter pushing is when you're beat matching. You physically push the LP to slightly increase its BPM. This pitches the record up, but not as much as going from 33 to 45 rpm. Any actual DJs feel free to correct me.

Good blog for Bay Shit http://strivin.blogspot.com/ Man knows what he's talking about. I was hopin that we could get the Megatron talking about this stuff. He's a Grime DJ in San Fran, I know he's got to have heard some of it. Speaking of Murder Dog...

Far as I know thizzin = rollin. Thizz Face = skrew face + E Or something like that.

Or alternately we could have a intelligent conversation about the growing popularity of Ecstacy within the mixtape scene country wide. But as it specifically pertains to this music. E-40 - Da Dummy Sounds like a guy rapping over acid house. All us Reynolds acolytes got to have something...

Here's a little prediction, by June everyones going to be on the Bay's dick. E-40's got a new album coming out with Lil Jon. San Quinn just released a very impressive album. You got Keak Da Sneak, Turf Talk, Ya Boy, and a whole list of other rappers. All these guys are world class...
