Yep, it's really nothing new. Although Youtube seems to have encourage its spread beyond previously tolerable limits. And I'm pretty sure all anyone who works in Advertising does is take coke and scour youtube for 'creative inspiration'.

Wasn't Giles' show shunted to 2-4 on a weekday morning. ever since Benji B moved over from 1xtra he must've realised his days were numbered. 6music would be a much better home for him these days anyway.

Maybe I should've said Steve White then? Or I shouldn't have said broken beat specifically, but I don't know how else to describe the UK dance music scene that was around a decade or so ago.

Yes, I was talking in more general terms rather than post-dubstep being the direct descendant of brokenbeat sonically or as a scene. Both have come at the tail end of a more classically definable genre, dnb / dubstep. And sonically they're both strongly informed by what came before but in...

Who knew there was an electro diaspora. Aren't most of these micro genres just specific cultures attaching their sounds to what ever club music is about. So because "dubstep" is popular stateside, it gets incorporated. It has little to with an actual musical lineage. Where as post-dubstep is...

Yep Riz Ahmed, or Riz Mc. Stick to acting mate. And Idris Elba to fucking stop it as well.

I would've thought Elzhi - Elmatic would have to fit this category. Large Professor's new stuff. Roc Marciano and Action Bronson seem to be popular with the 93 Til infinity crowd. Why not just listen to hip hop released in the early 90s though?

If you want instrumental stuff you might want to check Araab Muzik. He can get a little trancy but I liked Electric Dreams. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value=""><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed...

As far as it's co-opted meaning, I think Corpsey summed it up well.

The weird puppet picture is from a series that feature this character 'Joshua', taken by contemporary photographer Charlie White.

I used to have a couple of these dubbed on tape as a kid. I remember playing them to death, but lost them a long time ago though. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value=""><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess"...

I don't really see your point. There are many women who would call themselves feminists who take off their clothes, for a living, or for art, or just for kicks. They'd be complete hypocrites if they then objected to men enjoying pictures of good looking women. Hell, go on Tumblr and you'll...

I'm sorry but how can anyone try and make such serious points based off of things they garnered from Youtube & Twitter, which anyone who's used the internet for any length of time will know seem to encourage the cesspool of humanity to spew it's inanities, in an effort to bring the world down to...

This. 1000 times, this.

IMO it all seems pretty cyclical - the whole post-dubstep scene's very similar to the brokenbeat scene from a decade ago. If look at the life of an original Uk dance music genre; dubstep / dnb / UkGarrage (to a lesser extent), it slowly defies itself as a genre, building from the...

In some ways it's a similar culture to the Perez Hilton type bloggers who'll bitch about the latest celebutard, calling them fat or what ever. Or the internet campaign to fuck with Justin Beaver. But in Kpop it seems to be an accepted, acknowledged and organised part of the pop industry. Fans...

In Korea they have 'anti' fans, who hate on kpop acts as fervently as the most obsessive normal fan. They seem to dedicate their life spewing bile and hatred, and generally being bitchy towards idols. This blog is amusing and disturbing in parts. http://antikpopfangirl.blogspot.com/ But the...

I'm interested to see how hipsters will react to kpop now Pitchfork has told them it's ok to like it - and how Kpop will be changed by it's increasingly worldwide presence. Personally I have plenty of respect for anyone who can create well crafted pop and the S. Koreans seem to have the formula...
