    Step up all Rhyme Contenders!

    "I'll be doing my level best." this is that "shabby englishness" taken a step too far.

    late 2-step appreciation thread

    oh, i was just kidding...people can talk about whatever they want! personally, i'd take the lamest breakstep stuff over dubstep, but, again, that's just me. i'm kooky and off-hipster like that.

    late 2-step appreciation thread

    i think i mentioned "pussy track" in the opening post. god, yeah, that's TUNE. play that to any drum and bass head getting uppity about garage,

    the wire

    oh don't get me wrong, i still buy it every month...even when i could read it free at work! it does seem to have undergone an undeniable...white washing, though. (at least in terms of the present.)

    the wire

    the wire <i>has</i> gotten pretty bad, but there are little glimmers still of how good it used to be. (hold ya head...well, i won't say, because they post here and will like get even bigger egos than they already have!) i think the decision - conscious or not - to switch to almost blanket...

    late 2-step appreciation thread

    yeah, when i read descriptions of fwd on hyperdub from this period (2001-2002) it seems like a really exciting club. now from what i read it sounds like a bunch of pasty techno bods in track jackets swigging stella and calling for a rewind of every cd-r dubplate. *ducks*

    late 2-step appreciation thread

    yeah "buck & bury" was big. i also heard a great (unreleased) version of an erykah badu tune once too. did i hallucinate this, or did jammer have an ep out on locked on before he was Jammer? was it any good?

    late 2-step appreciation thread

    okay, so i think the basic opinion is that late 2-step (2001 to early 2002, before the "garage rap" takeover completely displaced the dancefloor) is a fall from grace akin to neurofunk. simon (and matt?) have both said that 2001 was, in their opinion, the lowest ebb for uk pirate music since the...

    fela kuti- help wanted.

    simon as you can see everyone always has different opinions about what the best fela albums are. my only advice is to not go overboard: back in 2003 i sold back a ton of fela stuff i bought (the attraction pales quickly when exposed to a lot of it) in the first flush of excitement back in...

    The UK has become (almost) irrelevant

    Logan if you think coverage of grime is bad in the UK press, try reading the US press on it sometime. It's especially frustrating to me, as a Yank, because I've been following "this" music since jungle...I do understand why the rockcrit massive has found it easier to get into grime than UKG...

    maybe a tiefschwarz remix? spektrum's "kinda new (tiefschwarz remix)" and blackstrobe remix of their "ghosttrack". oh and blackstrobe's "italian fireflies." kohncke's "zwei photon" ep. the most recent metro area ep (with "proton candy"). the jacques lu cont remix of that gwen stefani song, the...

    yeah, jaydee. it probably won't even work. i've just been obsessed with the idea of it since the summer and i haven't owned a pair of decks in like three or four years now.

    if you will do the blend i've been mulling on for months now of "plastic dreams" into villalobos' "dexter", i'll be very happy.
