close your eyes. imagine you've never seen the city before. does it sound glistening and shiney? does it fuck! it sounds more and more garbled. I'm not sure why an aural form of cognition has been reduced to the fantasies of pictorial artists. Like I said yesterday, internet 2.0 should have given us information overload in music, but apart from people like oneohtrix point never that sort of arty scene it hasn't been done. jungle and early grime did, of course. But rnb has been reduced to a narcotic torpor whilst migos is the age old trick of increasing the economic privilege of a small section of black people whilst still rendering them culturally and sociologically marginal to politically nonexistent. The story of white supremacy in black music even.

Hip hop may not like the cut of whitey's jib, but it sure loves its money.

this is still a great post.

I don't think I necessarily do disagree with you. I agree that that initial wave of migrations was a special case, hence why the windrush thing was such a disgrace and unforgivable betrayal of trust. I don't agree that all other migrations are somehow insignificant though. They are still real people, living their lives here, trying to find a space. Interacting with everyone else, rubbing shoulders, communicating and miscommunicating

this was kind of why we run both of the mixes through a vcv, distorted them, sped up/reversed/distorted ethnic records, cos it's very cringe to put a sample in there and just leave it there in its naked form (in 2020 i mean, in 93 it was of course pathbreaking.) But I'm not out to make a seminar about diaspora music, just to illustrate the chaos of the city for migrants who came after 1979.

You know, I'm not Lee Gamble, I didn't have this great awakening about information overload, it's always been there. Even my parents struggle to understand it, despite living in london for over 30 years. And it isn't all because of the internet. as children you are socialised differently to migrants who go home after a shift at the factory.

Don't want to start a new thread but

The imaginary future of the 90s


This popped up in my youtube reccos, it's not the music but the old 3D renders of the future which maybe looked cutting edge at the time but now look quaint—but because of that quaintness, perhaps, have something romantic and mysterious about them that today's 3D artist couldn't replicate

Something too about how limited tech produces more affecting art, the cheap sounding music more strange and charming than the polished stuff

thing with turkish reggaeton is everyone hates it apart from kids in oakland. one of the worst genres ever. could here it in every night club and street corner in the 00s. just a cut above turkish hip hop. horrible.
i wd like to know more abt Turkish Reggaeton. Turkish Reggaeton sounds like something that i wd enjoy!

combining the two worst strands of music into one hybrid abomination, yes, i think it would be right up your alley. loads of hair gel.

we're a muslim country alhamdulillah, we have no such thing as reggaeton sex vol 1. you'll have to suffice with turkish pop reggaeton. most proles can't even afford to go fucking clubbing in Turkey, totally for rich kids and war criminals, mafioso, etc. If they aren't on the dancefloor how will they be grinding? #logic #commonSense

no, the real prole music is about slashing your arms with razorblades, drinking cheap raki or taking heroin, and getting comatose.



I do not desire to live anymore
beset with such tribulations, such sadness
This world provides no taste anymore
I am offended by the breath I take, the lifeforce I possess.

Everything is meaningless in my eyes now
A thousand litannies of anger and hate in every word
The agony of years is evident on my face
I am offended by the face I look at in the mirror.

Loneliness has established me, that which cannot be hugged.
Nobody comprehends my troubles
Where are my loved ones, why do not they call?
I even take offence to my best friend.

Everything is meaningless in my eyes now
A thousand litannies of anger and hate in every word
The agony of years is clear on my face
I am offended by the face I look at in the mirror.

Stop being a civilised american and embrace real barbaric despair, not your dinngy dongy 'cum for me daddy' exagerrated porn.

If there is not any hope in the heart of a lover,
Dream is useless, sleep is useless.
If there is no fate but to be loved,
Luck is useless,chance is useless.
If you have unfit thoughts,
Alas is useless, sigh is useless.

If it does not console
the Glass is useless, wine is useless.

My heart has become solid as a patient stone,
My tears are like rain.
I lost the war between love and myself
Alas is useless, sigh is useless.
