2:40 onward. Check m8, racists.

I don't have a dog in this fight but this sounds like ambient techno. What makes 'trap' 'trap' to you exactly? Just that tempo and the beat made on a drum machine? That is a metric FUCK TON of music.

It was intended as a joke, but I was referring to the step-multiplied hi hats specifically. There aren't any triplets in there I don't think, which is unfortunate. Would have made the comparison more obvious. Edited August 15, 2018 by drukqs

Y'all just remember that Bulk spent like $300 on a an album he doesn't even like, so sometimes his judgement isn't to be taken too seriously.

:)

I kind of pre-ordered before the shittiness of the music came out, to be fair. That was Warp's marketing from the get go - only produce as many as people pre-order because once people hear it, they won't want to order it! Don't want unsold shitstock in the blerp warehouse.

And my judgement is just fine thank you.

Lol there was at least 1/4 of the music out before you ordered. Two hours of music. That ain't a pre-order my dude.

I held hope. Also I’ve spent $300 on far worse things to be fair. I’m sure at some point when I was 18 or so in probably snorted $300 up in an hour lol. And if I want to be a douche I can always just turn around and sell both boxed sets for 300% profit in a few years. Seems like pretty good judgement imo.

Not liking Trap or footwork is grounds to be labeled a racist now?  Oh brother.

Thank Christ you're kidding. 'Trap' is a hell of a lot more than just that beat made on an 808. (love the genre or hate it)

Honestly, I think trap is pretty boring, but footwork has some good stuff. I actually quite like Jlin's stuff. For whatever reason, her live sets come off as having a bit more energy than the albums.

The bit around 12:16 and onward has a sweet transition and slams. Sure, some of it goes on a bit long, but it's dance music. It's not IDM...

 

There's a ton of stuff you could do with that genre. This thread makes me want to make a footwork track now

[Lane Visitor]

GODDDAYUM hearing about what Collapse sounds like is making me hard/wet. But I think I'll still wait like a good little Weakling Child / Girl/Boy.

 

Ugh, I can't stand when people go on at length talking about footwork as if it's some sort of enigmatic phenomenon. From what I've heard of it, the stuff lumped under the phrase is just an eclectic fusion of hip hop, jungle and bass/electro with maybe some jazzy elements. What's the big deal? Some of it's cool I guess here and there, but way overhyped imo.

 

Also, lol @ the thought of RDJ consciously deciding to be "footwork-influenced" or something when he made this, when he quite literally was responsible for X number of silly niche genres that have spawned out of a number of scenes. Don't get me wrong, all music, all styles, all good, love it all, but fuck.

Wonder if we’ll see that MT1 t29r2 remix by Jlin officially released anytime soon? I’m surprised nobody is bothering to speculate what that was all about, especially when it was initially credited as ”Jlin & ???” on that DJ’s (forget who) SoundCloud podcast mix show thing. Quite strange and funny that we had part of the track of MT1 floating around for over a year.

are you still master of your domain?

 

:)

I am master of mine (besides T69 Collapse I listened to like once for the video!)

 

I've been listening only to T69 collapse on repeat in 2116

 

but not the others until sept 14

 

am I still in the game, master of my domain? :)

Me too... I plan on straight T69ing myself until I fucking Collapse.

So this is Span's fav since Rushup edge... Anyone else whose heard the EP feel like this a new favorite so far?

 

I'm so got dayum hyped it's unreal.

[beerwolf]

Can all of you just shut the fuck up?

 

Cheers

[chronical]

yeah this is ansolutely my favorite Aphex EP :) hope he puts out an entire album like this

[indulin]

i just had to listen, and it's so so good. hearing this in good quality must be mind blowing, it has all the bits i love about aphex but at the same time new approaches. can't wait!

[Pirtek]

 

 

... you just think you're above it probably because you feel alienated by it culturally...

Disagree. One of the key tenets (IMHO of course) is that good music transcends class, race, ethnicity, culture, gender, etc. It's one of the main reasons I've always been drawn to electronic music.

 

Making an argument that you don't like footwork because you "don't get it culturally", to someone that actually appreciates just straight up GOOD music, is bogus.

Nicely put.

[YangYing]

iunno.. for the people trying to figure out the footwork thing maybs check the footwork thread

 

also I only rlly got the feels for it when I saw ppl dance to it is p amazon imo

 

 

 

 

nwae, not trying to derail

[azatoth]

I guess I am too white and/or too old to get footwork or trap. But I don't get the gushing that acid gets around here either (not that I don't enjoy the occasional 303 gurgles and farts). People like different things....the mind boggles.

[chronical]

the mind boggles and watmm shpergles. 1st 44's scream reminds me of death grips always. abundance's intro is a lot like that tuss intro with the old silo website thing. all this makes me wanna flex renoise again   

[phudoshin]

defs holding off till its official...... so much to keep me occupied till then.. ffs im still catchin up with ae 2014!!

im guessing jlin might have worked with rich to create new cuts for the live shows? or mixed hers in with it towards the end, miss tagged because he played a number of her tracks in live shows?

Nice, the track at 27 sounds like it's straight out of SAW1

 

Didn't like the bandcamp ep though, sounds like slowed down Skrillex

[eclipsis]

 

That tac Lacora intro made me chuckle.

[chronical]

I just remembered that Cheetah was also leaked in 96kbps, probably from Bleep too. Makes you wonder if it's intentional
