I've got the album, seems pretty good on first listen but a few of their best tracks aren't on there ('Control', Jessie Ware remix etc). What a fucking amazing run of great tracks they've had though.

The Daft Punk album is very enjoyable but I doubt I'll keep coming back to listen to it as much as Homework or Discovery.

seriously doe, quite interested to hear what people think of this one. Theres always lots of discussion here about what constitutes the true sound of London/UK dance music but this pop-house has been largely overlooked on Dissensus - hidden in plain view (this stuff is in the charts!).

I had to give up on this half way through i'm afraid, it's just far too bland.
There's a few tracks I like on there but I need to hear them rubbed up against some bassy filth.

Aye well, its definitely not the place to go for bassy filth and probably isnt Dissensus´cup of tea in general. Obviously I find this stuff to be far from bland but cheers for listening and the opinion mate.

That one with EL-B's woodblock. Nightingale, just need to shave a bit of the cheese off it.

Might burn a copy of this for the Niece.

The music here is less concerned with filthy bass drops and el-b snares than it is with being plain gorgeous. That said the next mix i do might be the more bangin side of things with this vibe.

I hope your niece has good taste in music so i can take that as a compliment!

I'll give this a go, I'm into some of the commercial house at the moment, definitely Disclosure...

Nightingale is currently playing and so thought I'd type a few thoughts.

Enjoyed the mix. If you'd left out the Disco tracks I'd be more into it but it kind of gives the mix a distinction. To be fair though why are people making 1970s Disco tracks in 2013? I listened to the Daft Punk album and enjoyed it but why? Are these people making disco trying to make a conceptual point?

Remember listening to a load of disco one night on iTunes gathering tracks for a wedding and had a good evening. The older people at the wedding went mad for it but beyond that I don't get it. Why ignore the really exciting music like Jackin' and Deep Tech House? Both those types of music are based on House which is almost as old as Disco but at least the producers are doing something new with it rather than making technically excellent songs but from the 70s.

well the disco/boogie tracks here are more 80s than 70s retro, but yeah the question of why people like skream are making tracks like this is an interesting one. At the moment there isn't that much of this stuff around (at least from this sphere) and whether it grows and mutates more remains to be seen. I don't think Daft Punk has much bearing on the music in this mix which really represents a return to that late 80s-early 90s period of inclusivity, boogie just being one flavour among many on the menu.

I completely stopped listening to dubstep years ago, actually pretty soon after seeing Skream DJ when he used to play identikit wobbly bangers all night, so to fall so heavily for these disco tracks has been genuinely surprising for me. he's captured that vibe so well I couldn't help but be charmed. (though the new single Rollercoaster goes too far with it I think).

What do you think of the Kidnap Kid stuff btw?

ive heard this stuff too much on the radio lately to really warm too it that much. do love white noise and good/efficient as disclosure obv are, theres something about it that i find a bit bland. will give the mix a proper go when im less irritated by it all lol. i dont really see that much of a similarity between what daft punk are doing and what ive heard of skreams new direction though - DP are making proggier, more period-faithful disco, skream seems to be more some kind of meeting point between early 80s boogie and disco-house.
