sweepstakes Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Beaumont Hannant rules. His stuff really captures the vibe of being up alone at 2 am with the machines running and seeing where they can go. On a lighter note, this thread is an absolute goldmine. All dem recommendations.

joshuatxuk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 BEEFCAKE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cKDjSgE2QM Yes! I remember hearing a Beefcake track on a local college station late at night and frantically writing down their name and track name onto a scrap of paper in my car to look up later. They were on Hymen Records if I recall correctly. Kit Klayton is another one who probably influenced stuff that came much later like 2562 Good point, in fact the whole Clicks And Cuts series seems very influential on future garage/post-dubstep Xanopticon and Terminal 11 did and still do a lot of high tempo intricate beat programming. Don't see them mentioned very much on here https://www.youtube....h?v=fFcXgUKDGM0 I'm surprised they aren't, at least not as much as Datach'i or Vsnares, they've made some really cool tracks. I remember watching that breakcore doc from years back and Xanopticon was the only producer that really peaked my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh yeah, forgot about Xanopticon. It's like vsnares beats with the moody alien Richard Devine aesthetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goiter Sanchez Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 What the hell happened to Jackson and His Computer Band? 'Smash' was way ahead of it's time, but that was back in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 What the hell happened to Jackson and His Computer Band? 'Smash' was way ahead of it's time, but that was back in 2005. Discogs shows he remixed and produced here and there - otherwise he more or less disappeared. I know it's been mentioned in other threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yeah seriously, that guy needs to keep making music. I would pay top dollar for a follow-up to smash. Also, Terminal 11 are pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 What the hell happened to Jackson and His Computer Band? 'Smash' was way ahead of it's time, but that was back in 2005. i think from what i've gathered on the board is that he sort of fell off the map due to his fondness for ketamine. I think Mr Oizo played a substantial role in getting that album off the ground as well, and i would argue that with the combination of Oizo's production help and Jackson's inventiveness that bands like Justice, Sebastian and most of the Ed Banger roster owe a lot to that single album.

For coming out in 1999 this album was pretty ahead of it's time. I know basic channel and pole were around but i would count his output from this period as equally as important to this whole off-shoot of dub.

kakapo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Watmm's own Greenbank. His ep for benbecula is still worth tracking down. Also Signer, in particular Low Light Dreams. One of may favourite ever tracks below, which I think I first heard on a mixtape Xela did for boomkat. And there's another one, Xela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goiter Sanchez Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Prhizzm released one excellent EP on Benbecula and then disappeared... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR4EoZqU2rg Team Shadetek; they had an amazing Gescom-like approach to instrumental hip-hop. Not sure where they went... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjkBpW-f-5U Also Sote; had a single EP on Warp and then never again from what I could tell...

I also recall reading (probably here) that a debilitating perfectionism has kept him from deeming anything worthy of release since then. Could be the ketamine too for all I know.

Zephyr_Nova Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I'd believe the debilitating perfectionism theory. Smash does sound like one of the most labored over Warp releases ever, and he sounds like a very self critical person in the interviews I've seen.

Lexaunculpt also teaches music related courses at a community college in California.
