perhaps they've had to turn people away before at galapagos??? i don't know . . . . but it's a pretty cool destination -- they used to (and may still) show films on sunday nights there -- and they have really good burlesque comedy shows on monday nights -- though i haven't gone there since i...

brilliant! -- plus we're not too far from bleep n bass territory with this one! -- and mark kinchen has a classic detroit techno track that loops an atari them over and over but this mix has been around for several months now, hasn't it? i should try to pick up a copy

yeah they have audio clips on their website -- but i don't think their studio productions do justice to their live show -- i.e., live show is RAW, i.e., demonic drums, keyboard effects wherein such effects are either "wet" or rave-y, and rocking howling singing -- and that's it -- no guitars, no...

or in the hope that i'll either be confirmed in my enthusiasm, pointedly disagreed with, or told that they're decent or even quite good but not all that i've claimed for them . . . . in other words, so that we can get a second opinion around these parts . . . . an opinion other than my ranting...

dare I say it again -- KUDU!!! just saw them again this evening -- sometimes i think maybe i'm smoking crack -- maybe i together with everybody that i know who has seen kudu and thinks *they're the greatest thing ever* -- maybe we're all too lost in our world to know any better . . . . but then...

so what is FACT magazine? and is this an american or english publication?

here's another event that may appeal to the nyc dissensus massive Friday April 1st Special new event: KEEPIN' IT LOW DJ Dinesh Birthday bashment Playing a mix of Dancehall, Hip-hop, Grime, & Bhangra Featuring: Greg Poole, Edwin Stats & DJ Dinesh special live showcase: MC Deadly...

Jon E Cash, DJ Dread D, DJ Dinesh, Greg Poole at Crash Mansion this Saturday Just thought I'd move this back to the top . . . . Saturday April 16th Goldspotmusic presents: HEAT - 'Grime sessions' Bringing the biggest playa in the UK grime/sublow scene- for the first time in NYC...

can't quite divine what woebot's driving at -- does he mean (1) really good retro sounds OR (2) truly productive returns to past that sound like the future in the first category, i'd suggest: (1) dead combo -- excellent guitar feedback -- although they sometimes sound like the worst kind of...

hey mika -- can you suggest one or two articles on this subject, i.e., the IP issue in reggae/dancehall industry? -- thanks

i'd be interested in hearing more on this subject -- or perhaps i should look into it myself!!! i recently applied for a lawyer job with ASCAP -- not that i'm dying to "work for the man," just that the man is the provider of most jobs out there -- though I suspect I blew the interview by...

the Jammin "Go dj" is wicked

also about the belgians . . . . i remember reading somewhere that "father forgive them" by holy noise (on hithouse in 1990) was the first rave track to use the amen break holy noise went on to make such belgian classics as "get down everybody" and "the noise"

i disagree -- i think that anyone who's into anything has reasons for being into it, and anyone who goes to any club or dance party has reasons for doing so, etc -- and to the extent that the reasons are not articulate or fully consistent, then it's perhaps better to refer to an orientation --...

b/c so few americans speak arabic, and b/c so few arab-americans are in u.s. secret services, the u.s. govt has failed to nfiltrate the terrorist organizations or networks -- they can't get good intelligence -- or at least not enough of it therefore the u.s. has opted for torture -- which may...

or to introduce another complex of problems for my half-baked theory . . . . there are at least three fault lines already visible in the reception of grime in america, i.e., (1) people who will try to take grime in a hip hop or thugged-out direction, (2) people who will want to emphasize the...

then how do people think about dance music?

i'm not sure if the critic's orientation to dance music is any different than the popular orientation, except that it's more fully articulated . . . . [i then proposed a scheme that's really just too idiotic to leave posted, especially as no one else has yet commented . . . . ]

poor choice of words -- sorry -- very condescending and ancestor-hating and glib certainly these musicians had real musical talent, which requires discipline and practice to obtain (not mere naive passion) so my words were poorly chosen -- but i think that what i'm trying to drive at is...

i should perhaps clarify that i meant this post as a kind of reaction piece -- and i'm ambivalent/not sure how to assess this italian house sound they had a dj, a live drummer, and a trumpeter -- and you could tell that all three had been into this music for a long long time, let's say their...
