Ahh, you mean like garage etc do's might suggest an element of classiness on their flyers whereas hardcore ones hint at chemical excess etc? They both favour pictures of scantily clad women & goofy typography though :-) Here's the resulting cut n shut from an event in Manchester last year that...

But wow man, wouldn't it be beautiful ;-) Yeah I'm obviously being a bit playful here, but this must be the closest I've seen to the circle being closed in the NW in all the years I've been here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Infinity-presents-Dirty-Beatz/536985852979271 . I know what you mean...

I did a little featurette when I started on my latest station about a year or so back sorta based on Cherryade btw - all tunes in grime/dubstep/DnB etc named after drinx - Dragon Stout, Cherryade, Orangeade, Lemonade, Cream Soda, Irn Bru etc! Are you doing any label tshirts?

I can understand that when you're not that many releases in yet, but also my understanding of the pressing process was always that it got loads cheaper when you repressed due to having the stamper ready, hence a few more of those in the wild may not take as much organising as the first lot & may...

I didn't like to ask what label you do - I've been so on & off on this board I didn't know - mucho props on "Cherryade" & I love yr graphics. Must pick some of yr vinyl up - years ago I'd have just walked in a shop & bought em by now, the internet builds little hassles as well as taking others...

Wow, that sounds like a really tight method :-D

I totally can't understand why anyone doing serious music would not plumb their PC sound into a proper stereo set-up. Monitors do make all the difference - the handful of tunes I've made round my mates' on his computer sound fine on CD - he's experienced back to the days of tape, he listens to...

I think I read one or two of the remaining dub cutting houses do a lot of mastering to CD - one would imagine they would be perfect people for getting the best out of grime from dodgy MP3s, vinyl rips etc. Whilst we're on mastering, this guy is a bit of a legend in UK reggae - you can see him...

Need that guy Rashad Becker on the case X-D

There has been a definite drop in mastering quality since people stopped doing vinyl en masse & getting help with the whole release process - I was at Beatherder the other week & had a great time, but some of the stuff in the dance areas sounded so flat, despite the heavyweight sound systems...

I suppose the other problem with producers having stuff on old CDRs is that they can knacker over time, can't they...this connected with what we are saying about MP3s disappearing is one of the many reasons why I choose to look like a dinosaur & still hoover up lots of vinyl. Ooo, Black Ops...

I know a few people into noise/experimental stuff (kinda my home ground) who have similar views on the thrill of the chase, not letting things get out there so much they get sullied etc, but I've always been more of the opinion that if its good, let people hear it, personally. I'm not actually...

Ha! That's quality re Ruff Sqwad & the school computer. I remember reading about Dizzee starting with his teacher as well. I work in a school up here & they troop in & get their raps cut in school like anywhere else. Is anyone working REALLY hard to dig all this up though? I mean its very...

Thought this was as good a place as any to drop in this little list of mine - got any suggestions for it? http://www.discogs.com/lists/Favourite-Goofy-Reggae-Label-Logos/29191?page=1

I'm all for moving forward, but I think some archival things are so important that they need doing for posterity (& also how relevant they have continued to be) - I mean Wiley surely must be agreed to be one of the most important musical figures in the country in the last fifteen years, if only...

Probably been in the main Grime thread, but just spotted on Simon Reynolds' energy flash blog that Footsie has two CDs of his old instros out as well.

I haven't changed my opinion on Sting yet ;-) Ooooo, Can - that's Sacred Cows thread territory! I like em a lot though on the whole...

Thanks! Too shuffly perhaps - all moombahton is on the same basic beat ("Dem Bow" by Shabba Ranks basically - Boom/Da Da/Da) - but interesting anyway :-)

Well remembered! Not a physical copy as yet, but my blog now has about three or four entries on it, the most recent being the youtubes someone has eventually loaded of all the tracks plus the label scans, so we're close to done on the historical research!! I don't know if you saw the one about...

I've heard loadsa Jackin stuff I quite like & none I adore so far, but then I've not been looking too hard & not heard any of it out yet... What interests me about it though (& I don't think this has QUITE been said yet, although it has been alluded to a lot) is the potential to unite the...
