there's certainly that (being on the floor off your head having adventures, leading to lasting good feelings about a particular era of music) there's also this thing which I think is true which is that you get "full up". like there's no room for more new stuff. the last few years i have...

well I'm not talking about things with assigned seats and toasts etc - but e.g. having people in your living room, eating food, that you might have cooked, but equally might have ordered in. In that context, a little bit of Herbert 'Around the House' or a Kompakt komp is very close to old man...

good for dinner parties. no really it was.

did anyone mention 'microhouse' aka 'mnml' yet? all that music out of Germany, Kompakt, Michael Mayer, et al. Now that is some 'moderately diverting at the time', utterly forgotten / forgettable echt-2000s shit if ever there was...

yes exactly and the scream itself could be an English voice but the rest is clearly American (and the internet tells me is from Boyz in the Hood)

YouTuber comments - "The 90s where not a good time for johnny ricky or scottie"

so that implies that you think the 2010s are significantly better? (I'd probably agree but I'm not completely sure why - seems to be less pastiche - the vintage-y / faded / Hipstamatic-filter thing replaced by ultrabrite superflat hyperdigital)

well it was nationwide in its popularity i think - as you can see with the Northern uptake of speed garage, the 'organ house' (that name always tickles me) and then Niche / Bassline 4/4 garridge is very good music for dancing to, just the right tempo + right amount of ruffness added to make...

that's true but i did use to listen (and tape like crazy) when i was back home for visits - also kind friends would send cassettes, although not quite enough to slake the thirst not so long ago I digitized most of my 2step era tapes but haven't got it together to put them out there in the...

it's all the horrid little musical touches, acoustic instruments, yeeuch

i'm only 3 minutes into the first track but don't think i can stick this out
