Guest Backson Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 this guy is pretty cool. At his best, he seems Dilla with an early french house vibe. http://www.myspace.com/onra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Loving this album. It leaked a while back but I plan on buying it whenever it comes out. Very steeped in 80s soul and R&B. High Hopes is the fucking jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 ahhh... plz stop citing dilla for every new instrumental hip-hop wonky broken beat, etc artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i have heard very little Dilla, and don't talk about him often, but thought of him when I heard hee beats. To be more precise, I could say he has a vibe somewhere between 80's electrofunk and early 90s hip-hop. (i think he's a Dilla fan though. I've seen pictures of him in Dilla shirts, and his album features a guy from Slum Village) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stoppit Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I've got Tribute and Chinoiseries, which are very good (especially Chinoiseries) so I'll check this new one out..although it sounds a bit more ...generic. Anyone who likes this might want to check Paul White; his album 'The Strange Dreams Of Paul White' is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adam Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I saw him live last summer. Was pretty boring actually. But I really dig chinoseries, though sometimes it feels like he's copying Dilla a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I like Onra, and I'm sure that he is a fan of Dilla, as are most hip-hop producers... but i get sick of everyone interjecting a dilla reference when mentioning any new music that involves chopped samples, etc. If you want to make a comparison, mention dâm funk, or someone more relevant to this style. i have heard very little Dilla yeah, exactly. that doesn't help. /bitchfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepex Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Dam Funk, eh? A better comparison? But doesn't Dam Funk also sound like Dilla? lol As someone pointed out in the recent Dilla thread: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA6CsXG921U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNpW8oxKfhM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 i give up. i've got to stop trying to talk about hip-hop on an IDM forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepex Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 But you're right... it gets tiresome to hear this comparison endlessly. And lot of times its disproportionate, but it just can't be denied. I mean, did you listen to those two tracks back to back? Same drum pattern with an almost identical bassline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blicero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Maybe I should start every electronic music thread here with, "... it's like aphex twin ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepex Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 An excellent point. Now lets not derail this thread anymore. I haven't heard this yet, but I just listened to the track with T3 and it was pretty cool. T3 is the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blicero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yes, this record is good. I like this new boogie revival trend. Some of the best synth work comes from this genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 i have heard very little Dilla yeah, exactly. that doesn't help. Oh, you went there! ps, should I get this or his Vietnam sampling album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I had a vision last night That I need to play this album to my cat because she is a hip hop cat But my order is taking fucking forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Makinami Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Chinoiseries was great and unique. Long Distance is plain generic, following the fad. Dissapointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It's a pretty good record, I got the leak a while back, but plan on buying the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 oh boy, I'm listening now. I like Sitting Back and a couple of others so far. I don't listen to alot of hip hop, so this is refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Finally played this...I think I'll end up liking it quite a bit. Some of the vocal R&B-ish tracks remind me of my deep house days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
