UK Garage that sounds like electro (sort of) OR Do my job for me part 15

Come on

if so let's ignore it for the purposes of this thread

Was an explanation for the lack rather than a rule to follow.

I've never crowdsourced my tunes. Consider it a gesture of good will on my part.

It could be seen as cheating... or tips from a group of 'friends' who form a great resource. I'll end up playing two ot maybe three garage tunes, maybe from this list, think it's OK out of a three hour set.

 

[IdleRich]

I assume saying bingo beats is too obvious?

Nothing is too obvious for me here.

basically slowed down techstep.

But you know, that's what you want so.

was responding to shiels. Ultimately, I don't care. Dance music is full of maladjusted personalities who hide behind various vectors of cultural oppression and isolation to paper over the fact. Got nothing against crowd sourcing or even push button djing. Discussions of authenticity in an inauthentic industry are always suss.

 

[IdleRich]

Huge response here anyway, thanks very much. Will listen all through as soon as I can but right now I'm at the beach...

was responding to shiels.

Sure but I do see that it can be.

Collecting tracks for future DJ gigs, while kicking back on a sunny beach in November. Rich has the best life.

again i don't care, and I hasten to add I'm a maladjusted personality, but I wear that on my sleeve.

just not sure what the passive aggressive huffing girlfriend comment was supposed to be here cos I have limited the amount i post on here recently.

that dexorcist tune is outsider garage though (not saying that as a diss, like Luke would.) garage was mostly a cultural revolt away from techno sounds, back to organicity, sexiness, human touch etc. you might want to look into playing some late 90s dnb at 33, because it's based on the same principles as 2step garage

Yeah I get that. Maybe related to what I said about an antiscifi ethos... just hoping enough people deviated from the template or the theory behind it for what I want to exist.

Anyway great stuff thanks.

 

[IdleRich]

This is probably the most Dissensus music of all.

And yet the one I know least about. Previously I would just keep my head down and be quiet when it was discussed - but now I'm proudly coming out as ignorant, not hiding it any more, it feels good!

there's a lot but yeah it's mostly grime white labels.

 

[IdleRich]

put together most of the tunes from this thread into a playlist for the ease of liesning

Nice one!

 

[thirdform]

quite a bit of US garage b-sides can be quite sinister and dark, but much more sleaze disco than electro. and obviously with the 4x4 bassdrum.

Only 1 more page until you realise you have missed out on nothing.

although here's a little tip, my username on youtube is in reference to a really obvious tune that is textbook garage electro. Not posted it in here. happy digging!

Also sounds like something I could play to be honest...

To me it's quite interesting cos other people in Portugal who are playing a similar sound to us and of course are also always looking for new souns, will definitely not be even thinking of looking here so all of this will be completely unknown to them.

But note that I said in Portugal, there may be djs doing it in the UK or elsewhere... hence I ask - anyone know any sets consisting of acid, electro and dark garage?

It's all rubbish you're saying? Hard to believe there is nothing good in there - maybe better on the dancefloor than for listening but I've so rarely gone to garage clubs. One time I went with @nochexxx to a night promoting him, there was a bit where the DJ played a solid hour (or 90min or maybe even two hours) totally rinsing the Nochexxx back catalogue - was amazing to me that he had enough bangers to keep the floor jumping like that... how many other artists are there where you could play a whole set consisting of only their stuff and rock it the whole time?

In fact, that reminds me... @nochexxx do you got any killers for this thread?
