  1. kode9 is a lazy bastard, i mean i like his stuff but i've just downloaded a bunch of stuff, and he's just a tad too fond of reversioning lines from memories of the future. i know versioning is sort of an inherited tradition blah blah but if i hear one more derivative of "addiction" i'll be slightly annoyed

  2. lately i'm down with shackleton especially

     

    i have a thing from soulseek that claims to be a split with mordant music. now my understanding is that mordant music would have more in common with ghost box music than dubstep (last.fm claims anyway)... can anyone shed some light on this? seems a rather unlikely split.

  3. i hesitate to label this one dubstep. shackleton's stuff is the fucking shit.

     

    does away with a lot of the tropes that people associate with the genre. only the syncopated kick/snare shit, and the sub (one of the most subtle, excellent uses of sub i've heard) point towards dubstep. it actually reminds me of a late 90s ryuichi sakamoto remix or something.

     

    anyway love this track; it really rewards a nice bassy setup (it sounds WAY better on my proper bedroom setup than this PC) and it's erm deep

     

    shackleton - blood on my hands

  4. btw, i find rapidshare the fastest of the upload services.

    the problem with rapidshare is you have to wait an hour an a half between downloads, so if someone sends me ten files on rapidshare, you have to be at ur computer all day to download them.

     

    cheapass solution; if you delete the relevant cookies and reset your modem you don't

    less cheapass one; accounts are VERY cheap, and mean no waiting; also, there are about a fucking million albums there for the taking on projectw as rapidshare links.

  5. there was a decent interview with ollie skream in an irish music mag recently. apparently his love of reggae and dub is a relatively new thing cos of his DMZ mates. his background is working in a jungle/dnb record shop. he claims the album is so happy cos he made it in the summer, and his new stuff is darker again.

     

    the album is nice, but isn't so representative of his stuff imo, the skreamism stuff is much more to the point.

  6. i was just thinking about things that sound like dubstep but are not and are not as recent

     

    autechre - recury and some other bits of chiastic slide as well. i was listening to this last night, the shuffled beat, the snare sound, just all very dubsteppy. prolly some other autechre too.

    sabres of paradise - wilmot. add some sub and it's skream.

    linton kwesi johnson - aka spaceape's dad.

    the drum track from some massive attack thing - aka 'prayer' by burial

  7. someone was on about no dubstep really blowing them away?

     

    well, bar some burial shit (who i think is on a totally different trajectory to the rest of the scene anyway), this is one i cannot stop listening to - i first heard it on that mary anne hobbs mix i posted. i'm listening to a lot of the more reggaefied + standard monster subbass type stuff lately.

     

    digital mystikz - anti war dub

     

     

    dubstep is very good music to play video games to.

  8. there's nothing wrong with just (or mainly) texture. millions of fennesz fans can't be wrong!

     

    earlier when listening on headphones, the phrase acoustic mbv popped into my head... i initially dismissed it, but there's one track on MBV's glider ep that's pretty much bibio.

     

    anyway i don't want to overcomplicate stuff; this is just a really good album that i enjoy.

  9. i dunno why i left it so long before picking this up, considering how much i like fi.

     

    anyway, on my third listen, and i fucking love it to bits. the songs are more... i suppose complete is the best way of putting it. i love the lofi sketchiness of fi, but this works really well too. the man knows how to make really good, tasteful use of backwards guitar loops and drones. faaar too easy to over-egg backwards guitary things

     

    i know it's all been discounted and shit, but cherry-go-round is structured exactly like a boc track. :boc:

     

    this is also hand cranked, and i'll never get sick of linking to that thing either.

  10. That 97 set is amazing ... best live-set i have with crystal clear sound and terriifc bassmanship with great HND classics including beep st which lives sounds sooooooooooooooooooo good.

     

    "respect to the dint".. love it

     

    listening now... agreed. this is one of the best quality boots i've ever heard. bar the crowd noise it could be a soundboard recording.

    and he's on fucking fire. it's ten times better than the bonus disk on do you know shitepusher.
