I think as the margin for profitability in music diminishes this becomes more of a pressing question...there was maybe a time when a producer could live off a few high profile remixes a year which didn't take too much effort (maybe people on here can confirm/deny that) but that kinda work isn't...

oh yeah FACT reminded me that Evian Christ had a track on a mix for URB mag by BNJMN well before the Youtube vids went up. DJ success!

cmon dude, the juxtaposition of religious and corporate symbols will never get old

Evian Christ isn't really dancefloor music though is it...as the Tri Angle signing would suggest. dunno what manner of DJ would really have pushed him?

this bit in particular got my goat: It's the insinuation that Skrillex's music breaks free of strictures, which is to suggest that it's somehow radically innovative and that's why it's unpalatable. Whereas for me at least, his music is shit because it's massively 2 dimensional and really...

can we start a Skrillex thread? http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/culture/2012/02/5192250/why-loved-and-hated-now-noise-skrillex-really-kind-punk this is a mixture of a Reynolds-style argument that he is the new hardcore - 'rupture, tastelessness, discord' - which is a sort of crafty...

just came on here to post that. Brilliantly sums up a lot of the stuff on this thread

[something about the vampiric nature of capital on innovation and the misappropriation of the term 'creative']

new Randomer. Pretty gnarly, on that Blawan tip but to my mind funkier http://soundcloud.com/stholdings/randomer-scruff-box-get

different tho int it. Given that dance music is a culture built on illicit sampling, when you really probe the boundary between what's acceptable and what's not it's difficult to pin things down precisely (like that thing a bit earlier about ripping off a track vs. a cheeky sample lifted from...

lots of bi-directional trolling on his twitter today. As my mum would say, 'just ignore him and he will get bored'

christ. It's one thing to criticise somebody's writing style (I guess some form of respected independent critique would probably tighten up a lot of online music writing), but that's just ugly and personal. Including a picture and commenting on somebody's physique is a pretty hideous way to go...

Two new ones from me. Probably not sufficiently raw? Quite wussy really. Here they are anyway: less raw: http://soundcloud.com/second-line/undone-unsigned more raw: http://soundcloud.com/second-line/belong-unsigned

genuine (i.e. not rhetorical) question from a young tyke - how often do radical stylistic breaks/leaps forward actually happen in any scene though? I mean is looking for them everywhere unrealistic and just setting yourself up for disappointment? my understanding of the creative process is that...

aha. forgive my luddite ways :)

the B side of this is absolutely sick. Goes into some weird triplet thing halfway through http://hardwax.com/64896/

If this is boring techno to you then I would love to hear the music inside your head

also gonna be a douche and post something my brother made. He did an EP of 150ish stuff. Mostly influenced by breakbeat hardcore. This is my fave:

Kid606 did this Jungle + live 808 drums + errorsmith mix: one for the gurners

funny, I've never got this off Objekt's stuff. I can see the connections but it sounds fresh to me. Maybe just my selective memory ;)
