I'm not kidding they suck.
The last time I saw them do a DJ set they actually sucked. They got big points for playing the Soulwax remix of Phantom, but pulled the track back during the buildup and missed the drop completely.

Interesting read about the mediocrity in dancemusic.
Interesting read about the mediocrity in dancemusic.
Its an interesting read-essentially that the need to tour to make money leaves little time to sit in the studio or on your computer to make music-but its built on the notion that dance music sucks major ass right now. While people certainly have their preferences of genre and can look back to other stuff, I'm not sure that the major major suckage is so obvious to the rest of us. 99% of everything is shit, always, so how is now any different?
you're right, even a lot of the stuff you guys post in here I don't like. And I can tell in the first few seconds solely by the drum beat. But my taste in music has been shaped by complicated drum beats and and weird time signatures.
Pretty much anything with a droning drumbeat sounds bad. and House these days is the worst offender.
Surprise new Burial, great way to close out the year. Here's a rip of the Kode9 set of new Burial tunes, Hyperdub took it down:

Also, Scuba uploaded the full version of "Hardbody" to his YouTube channel. 'Hardbody' will be released via Hot Flush Recordings on December 10th

Infinitely more fun than "Talk Torque," excited for this. I got tired of "Talk Torque" almost as soon as I bought it, Scuba's schtick right now just isn't jiving with me anymore.
Oh wow that is sick...
It's not awful, I just don't get the high praise that Scuba and Blawan get in this thread.
Probably should listen to more of both of them though.

Did not expect a new Burial release again in the same year. He should just save all his tracks for a new album at this point I feel. :S
This is great!!
Nope. I am waiting for this too, even though I absolutely love the spaceape. The book Kode9 wrote on the perception of sound seemed to imply he might never be interested either. I get the impression he feels his sound would lose something. He hinted something coming soon, but I think it's another spaceape record. I'd love to be surprised though.

(I've also been on a bit of a retro 70s/80s funky housey French kick recently, so it helps to listen to stuff that sounds like it's 25 years old )

Haha your so scared of change, old man!
Do you listen to any moodymann or theo Parrish? It's hard to find mixes by them but I'm pretty sure it's your thing.
Scuba gets alot of praise because he's really good? Guy can make anything from dubstep/techno to prog house. His dj sets are allways on point aswell, can do techno in Berghain then jet off and play prog house with Sasha and you'd think he only played the style you saw first.

I dig Moodymann, but never really felt Parrish. Make sense?
