"I like people with less life experience than me telling me I'm intellectually 20. Makes me feel rock n' roll as opposed to some some of librarian nerd bedsit boy who thinks he's wise coz he's read books with big words and theories..... ....I think there's more validity in explaining the...

Buick6 I had always gotten the impression that you were about 20 yrs old.

Oh, Buick6.

Ha ha at least Luciano has been doing this for a bit c.f. their other darling Loco Dice! To be fair if we're going to talk about a "minimal explosion" (and Mixmag certainly want to) you couldn't really choose an artist who was more er representative while being in no way generic than Luciano...

Where is Kids in the Kitchen - Change in Mood?

Is J Magic also Dexxtrous/Dextrous as in "Hot Flame", or is that someone else? I love that tune.

I think the original post in this thread misunderstands both quotes! Simon was complaining about the increasing polarisation between "black" and "white" music and saying this is a bad thing for music. Matt was saying that bohemians should feel free to mix up different styles of music, white or...

"Crazy" is deeply boring musically, but I think Cee-Lo is pretty great on it, his performance is so meticulous in its timing, phrasing, everything - that "now who do you who do you who do you who do you think you are? Ha ha ha! Bless your soul... you really think you're in control?" bit is...

Apparently Minilogue (who've made "The Girl From Botany Bay" - not on Border Community but the most Holdenesque track ever including all actual Holden tracks, and pretty great to boot) have a history in trance/psy-trance too. Curious!

The <i>Prima Norsk 3: Space Disco</i> comp from last year is a great and handy round-up of a lot of stuff from Thomas, Lindstrom and related artists. Every track is great!

JulianD your teacher wasn't Simon Reynolds by any chance? That sounds like his Theory of Vibe Migration. I really really love the Jake Fairley Border Community 12" as Fairmont, so ridiculously emotional!

Well yeah German house and some prog have moved closer together, but I think it's more that generally speaking DJs are playing good stuff from across the spectrum, certainly DJ sets are now more varied than ever. I'm not sure to what extent Holden can still be classified a "prog" artist. The...

I actually think <i>The Death of Cool</i> is their best album. <i>Love Is Hell</i> is inconsistent - the best stuff ("Prize", "The Third Time We Opened The Capsule") is awesome, but it almost sounds like they didn't realise how awesome those tracks were because a lot of the other stuff doesn't...

they wouldn't, but they were very good.

(that wasn't an implied diss on "Private Caller" btw, i love that tune, esp. the sequel)

Several stores stock some limited grime vinyl - in fact I've seen many a copy of Skepta's "Private Caller" for some reason. But they never have the vinyl that I'd actually want. Some places are now stocking a few DVDs too - the hip hop store in the Flinders Street Station subway has Aim High 2...

"this is not something i've personally ever heard - most dubstep mcs are hosting same as any other hosting mc. someone like sgt pokes is alot closer to your example of what you think dubstep mc's aren't, usually something about dubstep soldiers, are you readsy, feeling it in you chestplate...

I should note w/r/t bassnation's point about the use of dub and reggae in 'ardkore, jungle etc. that the use is very different to that in dubstep. Dub & reggae are used in 'ardkore and jungle for the purpose of popwise signifier-pillaging (e.g. Austin's "Unity in Dub" and its comic dub...

Current European 4/4 dance music is actually a good example of the opposite trend - what used to be house/techno/microhouse/electrohouse is now one big smeary blur. (pedant alert: I think <i>a lot</i> of people knew the difference when Rephlex released <i>Grime</i>)

Shudder, old UK garage comps fill up discount bins in CD stores throughout the western world... but these are my favourites: V/A: Zed Bias - Sound of the Pirates V/A: Shanks & Bigfoot - Ayia Napa 2000 (trus!) V/A: The Dreem Teem - In Session II V/A: Masterstepz - Ayia Napa 2001 V/A: Timmi Magic...
