I think at this point the Chicago footwork sound is, what, over a decade old now. The interest from Europe and the UK has definitely bred some new life into a scene that someone or other has been saying is dying for a while now. I guess in the same way that the likes of the Teklife people...

The Mc is double time but the beat is 80bpm (ish) hip hop, with the standard style boomer 808 kicks and a pitched synth that's very Mad Decent sounding. So, aside from the MC, musically there's very little UK influence in there, which I guess is the point I was making. Over a decade ago Dizzee...

It's a nice track, but the production is really just hiphop, in the electro - miami bass - southern - trap lineage.

I recently rewatched that old Redbull lecture with Rashad and Spinn, they sang the praises of the various juke influenced producers out there, saying they found it flattering and liked the fact that they weren't just copying but trying to put their own spin on it. They also stated that, aside...

Unlike the bemoaned rather slapdash MPCbuttonpushinggoldenerahiphopsameold70ssoulsamples influenced footwork, I think the Lil Jabba sound does have stuff in common with other areas of electronic dance music but I don't really hear any strong dubstep influence. The second half of the Jabba lp is...

I like it. It doesn't really bang but the way it rolls and the drum work are interesting.

I don't know much about the Arduino, but very basically, they're both small computers. The Arduino is a microcontroller, so you program it to do stuff, but the Pi can run a slimed down linux OS, apps and is more like a desktop computer. You can use it to learn programming, or you can just...

If you go with the 10"s then it's not much of a leap / change. It's a much less radicle concept than dance music on 7"s. I hope to soon be reading about the new Bristol 10" 130 jukey / grimey scene on some hipster blog.

Jesus, I vaguely remember when i was a kid you would get Flexi discs as promotional items on stuff like your morning cereal. I also have some postcards form somewhere in Eastern Europe that have clear Flexi discs stuck over the picture side. Unfortunately the music is pretty terrible. Those...

I was about to say why not a 10". They would fit your concept rather nicely. They're in between a 7 and a 12 (obviously), their short / small but easy the mix with, but they also have charm about them that gives them a kind of individual personality. I have thousands of 7s and 12" singles and...

Depends on what kind of music you're putting out really. Dance music and hip hop have generally always been a 12“ single market. Soul, funk, punk, indie, styles generally 7". Downtempo stuff can be either, depending on which market they're aiming for. Obviously these aren't strict laws that...

Seeing as no one else has chimed in, I'll offer my tuppence worth. First off I like to say, I liked the tunes. On a more genreal note about new jungle being produced.. As someone who lived through it the first time I find it's resurgence interesting, but it's hard to see where these new...

Still gutted he wouldn't do the Olympics, so we got Macca instead. 'We Could Be Heros' finale would've been pretty epic. Not really interested in his new stuff tho.

This Vice doc is a pretty interesting watch. It's takes a look at modern S.Korea through the prism of fashion. So not entirely music related, although it does touch on how certain music was banned by the S.Korean Gov. as recently as the 80s.

There's also this mix on Shadow Radio ft. the funkier lounge acts of S.Korea

Some Korean traditional music is interesting if you're into that sort of thing. Sinawi is this kind of improvisational ensemble shamanic drone jazz music. Bubble Pop it aint. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d5gS55156us?feature=player_detailpage"...

I'm interested in what the response to that video should be then?
