the other alternative -- as against seamless mixing and ruff-cut mixing -- is simply to play the damn records all the way through or close to all the way through -- and let the music speak for itself but as b/w seamless mixing and ruff cut, i agree with the opinion on this thread that ruffcut...

we should either have a forum specifically for events OR, alternatively, take a poll to see if people consider event announcements spam personally i think being into music is more about going to events and parties and clubs than listening to stuff in my bedroom and critiquing it online -- but...

not to restart the MIA debate, and not to suggest that it's the greatest album in a decade (can't say as i haven't bought a copy, though i've heard all kinds of tracks off it), but i think she's much better received in the USA and outside of grime circles than in the UK and w/in grime circles =...

what, in your opinion, makes Eminem so smart?

my remark that "yeah, the music is for the most part stagnant" was about dance music, not hip hop agreed however, i don't think sonic innovation is the end all be all -- i.e., i'm not nearly so modernist in my worldview as others here -- although you need serious innovation in order to have a...

hip hop does evolve sonically, but it's slow evolution and the politics and the take on "reality" remain forever the same -- and it's a very oppressive take as for dance music, i suppose i count myself a partisan of dance music b/c i like the politics and culture but yeah, the music is for...

for starters, "straight outta compton" was new and, given the crack cocaine epidemic at the time, relevant that was 18 years ago 18 years is the same amount of time as b/w 1965 and 1983 same amount of time as b/w 1977 and 1995

i ran into greg poole tonight said he's doing a heat party this saturday afternoon, june 11th totally free for the public, from 2pm to 6pm -- in tompkins square park w/ benny ill (forward, tempa uk) eddie stats (heavyweight sessions) and of course greg and dinesh w/ mc's deadly crisis and...

maybe not -- but "one night in nyc" is one of the very few classic techno records from late 90s

as for k-punk's comments on hip hop, utterly on the mark and i'll say this in a whisper, i think kudu have a goth dimension -- not their only dimension, but certainly part of their make-up -- and they're black people, imagine that! (hear the sarcasm in my voice for this last bit)

i'm sympathetic to your position here -- especially when you hear it out, way too much testosterone -- i.e., i don't want overly "refined" and "sophisticated" sounds, but i'm not down with "male aggression" either -- give it to me bad and wicked

this is undoubtedly true, and i'm as guility as anyone if you don't like what's going on today, you can all too easily lose yourself in music from the past all the info is there to be found on the internet, sound clips can be hunted down used to be that if you didn't like the times, you had...

yes -- but that was at most a 4-year dearth -- 1984 to 1988 -- and even then there was stuff developing beneath the radar you'd think that with the internet, blogging, mp3's, etc, that things would develop faster these days but compare garage rap and grime from mid-2001 to mid-2005 w/ rave...

YES YES YES btw this was a peripheral issue in the infamous poptimism debate tim finney would presumably say, in reply, that fans are nothing other than consumers w/ false consciousness YES YES YES this is why fans and scenesters think they have a special claim over the music (b/c music has...

yes, but how do you determine in way that would be generally applicable who should have rights in the product's future use and accrued value, as opposed to mere compensation for services rendered at time of production that is, does every producer make a contribution to the final product that is...

okay -- duly noted and sorry for being so defensive -- but it was really hot and humid yesterday

in case anybody's interested, i'm doing another party this saturday private message me w/ your e-mail address and i'll send you the details as regards address -- it's in the center of manhattan the dj's = me (pointless cruelty) early from about 11 pm to 1:30 -- b/c beat matching is no object...

also, you seem to be making the suggestion that i've somehow "exhausted" the topic i, however, think it's very fertile ground for discussion -- e.g., grime is "street" music that people nonetheless go to "clubs" to hear -- all kinds of thorny issues i've actually made 3 or 4 different posts on...

this has got to be one of the more absurd comments i've ever come across on this forum was i supposed to imagine what i think OTHER people think makes a club good??? that would sheer nonsense i never purport to give any thoughts or opinions other than my own however, if you disagree with my...

first, both mixes were very well mixed -- nicely done second, i've been trying to ID the s-bam "take me away" track for ages -- so thanks for the incidental ID third, and for whatever it's worth, my favorite part of the stuff you posted is the second half of side b and i think the holy noise...
