Am I alone in thinking that The Others have fallen off since "Africa?"

A long time to fall then, given Africa was one of their first singles. I'd actually agree but me being me, I'd take it one step further. I've never liked The Others so they never even came up in order to fall, as far as I was concerned, there's was one of the first Dubstep singles I actually went,"No I don't like this. I'm not buying it".

I love the minimal vibe of "Africa." The small percussive samples are what do it for me, I think.

So what've they done (or not done) recently to make them go off the boil for you? My problem with them first time round is they seemed to be the first of like the straight up Skream/Caspa/Rusko copyists, not really bringing either anything new to the plate, or improving the formula they were working in, and judging from the bits and pieces of what I hear from them nowadays, it's sadly pretty similar. I was always surprised Dub Police signed them up as up until then DP was a really strong, quality label and you knew you were only going to pick up class if you bought something with their name on it.

Copying Skream/Caspa/Rusko/Loefah was the thing in 2006. At least then unlike now you didn't really have Youtube (to the extent it is now that is) and back then garage was a strictly 12" only thing so few made it past that fantastic bit of quality control. It's amazing what people won't release if they have to put a grand of their own money on it.

Mind you, with The Others, I could be missing things as obviously I don't follow them too closely, but I do doubt it. If you don't have an initial liking you tend to just kinda ignore them unless they do something that really surprises you.

Everything they're dropping now seems really "MTV-ish" and corny, which kind of goes against the aesthetic of dubstep. They seem to have lost their identity to the rise of the younger dubstep market.

The Others : Mala / DMZ
Pendulum : Congo Natty

Visionist with more prime 808 flexing. Not just for Pearson Sound!

Not sure how I feel about the vox samples, but I love the 808 so much. Ordered the 10" today.

808 is love. I just downloaded a huge pack of 808 samples.

Goldbaby packs? They're on my list of stuff to buy eventually.

It was one of the ArtyTorrent packs. I'm not sure where to buy them lol.

The 808 cowbell is by far one of my favorite samples to date.

Never to late to become a junglist.

Too true. I first started getting into Jungle in 2005. Sadly, this was the beginning of the death rattle of classic jungle. (In my opinion)

It's actually a track from an EP that I've got 2 labels interested in right now. Once it gets finalized, I'd be more than happy to share a copy. Gotta keep it close to the chest until then though.

Here's the rest of the EP.

This is crazy good. Ya think of sending it to Distance? He always plays underground artists at the beginning of his Rinse mixes and this seems right up his alley.

Lookin forward to the full release.

Thanks a bunch man. I've got a lot more on the way.

I'd love to send it in to him, but I'm having trouble finding a channel to do so. Any idea where I should go for that?

I just hope Foul Play Records isn't the same Foul Play as this guy. Reading the guys comments was hilarious at the time though. For some reason anything involving lawsuits or court is always hilarious if the other person is a retard and/or doesn't have a lawyer.

It's the same Foul Play. I've been doing business with Prolific for a few years now without a problem.

I've heard stories, but my dealings with him have always been very positive.

If I end up hearing you on one of his next mixes I'm gonna lose my poo poo so good luck!

Oh and as a side Rinse related question, does anyone know what the track was they were using for the 17th Bday ads?

I thought it was okay actually, but his ex-partner in crime Cluekid has definitely been putting out the better work recently.

I'm continuing to dig the releases on the revived Apollo label actually. The new stuff on there by Makoto and Colonel Red have been great, but then again ya'll know I'm easily pleased, especially when you whack on some nice percussion or vocals so whatever.

Actually it's nice to see Colonel Red on there since it makes me feel Apollo might have some unfinished business with the old Broken Beat alumni after they made their first stabs in that style with the Afronaught releases a decade ago, shortly before the imprint seemed to fade away.

Don't get me wrong. The tune isn't terrible, but I'm never a fan of too much American hip hop influence. I guess I'm a bit of a purist. It seems a bit too "ice rap" for my taste. I did just see Mala and Coki on 36 JBL 18's so I might still be afterglowing from that experience just a bit :P His productions definitely fall in line with the name "Sum Ting New." "Nightmare" is an absolute smasher.

Cluekid has been really impressive lately. His work is absolutely mint. I'm still blown away by tracks like "Legacy" and "Grim."

Edit: I named my cat Makoto.

For me, it doesn't get much better than "Scrooge's Revenge," unless of course your name is Kahn.
