danshoebridge Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Boomkat are a bit strange. Most years I end up buying one of their 'best of 20__' 14 track comps, and some of the stuff on there just beggars belief - massively generic dancefloor tracks or ultra-obscure lofi electronic doodles. Is there really someone out there who heard these and thought 'yep, track of the year right there'? There's usually about 4 good tracks or so out of the lot, which makes it oddly a bit more frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Saw that RP Boo stuff at #3. Stopped reading. List is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really someone out there who heard these and thought 'yep, track of the year right there'? Regarding "ultra-obscure lofi electronic doodles", yeah there are plenty of pretentious people out there who love that stuff. Regarding that RP Boo record, the last line of their review says "Ask us: we'll tell you this is the best original Footwork LP by a mile, and a pivotal moment in the history of electronic music."

Guest jasondonervan Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Many years ago, I used to follow the boomklart charts religiously, often hoovering up whatever I had missed through a particular year as the folks selected to make charts really had their finger on the pulse for fine music. It isn't so much about not recognising half the stuff on there, but isn't having so many charts a bit overkill? What was wrong with having a handful of charts from well regarded music makers instead of all the peripheral fluff of a bunch of folks I've never heard of trying to outdo each other with ever more obscure 12"s that 10 people picked up back in February? One nice bit of consistency can be found in Zomby's chart - still nominating himself, I see... dat ego Oh, and no Exai = no comprende Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just look at them these days out of curiosity and to make fun of them haha. There's always a few artist charts that I'm interested in though, i.e Erik Skodvin, Lawrence English. One or two years ago, Bvdub put both of his albums on his list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 You just need to read their reviews on the music they stock. Then its pretty obvious these guys are either 1) taking the piss or, 2) a bunch of cunts. Or 3) both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
