28 Gun Bad Boy posted:Never fear guys, it's all planned. We're going all the way up to the present(roughly) with these guides so you'll just need to meditate for wee bit as we'll get round to it eventually. Sooner rather than later for garage. There's going to be at least 1 more Jungle entry, then from there we follow the musical current and get into the garage ting. Whether it'll be one entry or maybe 2, seperating the original 4x4 UK thing/Speed garage, from the later 2-Step stuff I'm not quite sure yet, we'll see. 28GBB: I hope you are planning to either (yourself or someone else for you) collate these when they're all done as an eBook.

I'm gonna have to go back and read the previous 28 gun bad boy posts ITT because the darkside one was solid and the late 80s-mid 90s UK sounds were amazing and some of my favorite music of all time. Definitely waiting on the next Jungle installment!

You now there is that other thread going on (you know what one I mean) it reminded me I managed to catch Karnage's Rinse set on Sunday there, with the last hour or so pure grime. loving cracking set that ya'll should get on. Download it off the Rinse podcast site. Worth it just for the lyric "On the iPad/Watching porn" Anyway it really reminded me that the more aggressive, jump-up stuff the Dubstep guys do is just blown away with what those grime boys do. Buzzsaws and wobbles and machine gun tones, man they just kill it. Spitting over it all just gels it together so loving well. The wild noise stuff is kept contained all up in a concentrated blast rather than just swinging limply in the dark trying to show how tough it is. You want aggressive rather than just white boi tight jean fitted cap wannabe-aggro posturing? You need to get on that, show you how it should be done.

just wanna chime in with my appreciation for this thread and for 28GBB in general. so much knowledge and passion emanating from these awesome posts. i've always had an appreciation for jungle / d'n'b and the like though it never really went beyond the stuff on labels like metalheadz and reinforced. but this thread has really inspired me to start exploring 'cuz there's just so much awesome stuff to learn abt and appreciate. i also second the ebook motion--that would be sick!

Again thanks everyone for the kind words. I don't know about an eBook or anything like that. It's not really like it's some fancy thing or anything. It's just a little thing I do that I hope brings some enjoyment and knowledge to this thread and forum. Anyway for some actual content that I meant to post yesterday. Blackdown talks to Roska about his forthcoming Rinse mix CD. I'm really looking forward to it, especially now I know it's got that "In The Deep" track by T. Williams. XLR8R even gave out the fantastic Zander Hardy remix as a free download. It was one of my favourite records of last year (can you believe it was almost a full year ago already?), as is all the stuff Deep Teknologi puts out. Deep, dark 'n' funky.

What about the recent SBTRKT album and that Hessle Audio thing, 116 & Rising (or did you pick that up already? I can't remember), some things on both those that's bound to set even the most Frat brothers and mosher-full of parties alight, which is what I'm going to guess this 'Adam Morgans' club is like?(bear in mind I base my American university/college/school/life experiences solely on a lifetime of watching movies like Animal House, PCU and Revenge Of The Nerds. )

Feeling this new Mya edit by Brenmar: http://soundcloud.com/fadermedia/mya-wet-brenmar-edit but I always like what he does with R&B samples. The joint he has on that truancy comp is nice too. edit: 28 Gun Bad Boy posted:You now there is that other thread going on (you know what one I mean) it reminded me I managed to catch Karnage's Rinse set on Sunday there, with the last hour or so pure grime. loving cracking set that ya'll should get on.

beeps-a-palooza posted:haha i figured that. i dont normally play in dc, so this should be fun nonetheless It won't be like playing most DC spots. I'm opening at U Street Music Hall next week, on Saturday July 23rd. Planning to play a lot of 125-ish stuff to start and then push to about 135 BPM depending on the crowd and how long I get to play. Planning to play a bit of Julio Bashmore, some Doc Daneeka stuff, things off the recent Hackman, Synkro, SBTRKT, George FitzGerald and Jam City releases. 28 Gun Bad Boy posted:What about the recent SBTRKT album and that Hessle Audio thing, 116 & Rising (or did you pick that up already?

Adams Morgan is a neighborhood in NW Washington, DC. It has a four block strip that is lined with bars and small clubs, and Thursdays through Saturdays it is a mixed drinking crowd, but there are definitely problems. Just last week video surfaced on line of a cop fist fighting with a guy in the street. There are a few good bars there, I'm just older, don't like the huge crowds and rowdiness on the weekends. You can also buy jumbo slices of pizza there, until about 4AM:  Klute loves to get jumbo slice when he plays gigs here.

zegadeth posted:Anyone else pumped that finally the Wheel+Deal album is dropping? It's the Lemon D track that's interesting me. A Drum & Bass producer actually making what sounds like some good Dubstep/garage? World is a changing. Of course given the fact I've only heard brief samples it could actually be utter shite. N-Type is really great though, fantastic and ultra funny guy. I remember sitting behind him and Hatcha in the bus ride back from Dubcamp, all of us tired, half asleep and hungover as gently caress. Cue N-Type looking out the window and seeing one of them big highland cows. For the life of me I've been sat here for the past 5 minutes trying to remember what he said, but he had the entire bus completely in stitches at his amazement at this cow and what he said about it. Not to mention the obvious hilarity when we saw a shop in Dumfries called "Polski Smak". It just writes itself. Real Edit: Remembering Dubcamp brought back memories of the aftermath thread on DSF. As well as making me remember the hot tub that was there, as well as the slightly uh... bigger girl who was in there most of the night with more than one boy. Some poster off DSF posted:Quote of the night on her part, Me "Will you let me go up your arse, me mate's got first dabs on your minge" "Nah, I'll just suck you off.. it's still hurting from the other night" Ah memories! Jeseuss posted:What do you guys think of Disclosure? Too James Blake-esque? I think so sadly. There's a few tracks on his Soundcloud that aren't half bad, but looking at his actual releases, none of the ones I like have been released. And what has been released, oh man, 7 inches on hip indie labels doesn't exactly help stop James Blake comparisons at all. It's pretty much perfectly packaged in an attempt to land a major deal like JB. Cynical? Me? Never? Fake edit: Actually I lie, the song Carnival I like was an A-side - oops! Well I still hold my ground, honestly 7 inches. Why a 7"? think the reggae boys even use that much anymore. It's not for the dance crowd anyway, it's for the folks who don't mind paying £5.99 for a 7". Not that I mind 7s, but it's a message you send though, right? Actually I'll float this out now, these kind of faux-garage beats are kind of getting a bit much for me now that they seem to be everywhere(not neccessary meaning this Disclosure stuff mind you, but trawl through Soundcloud, through some of the 'Future garage' or 'Post-Dubstep' stuff and you'll find what I mean). I say faux-garage as you can kinda tell that's what it's supposed to be because of how the drumbeat has been done, but it's like it's made by people who don't actually know anything about garage, or haven't really ever listened to it. Like they only know garage filtered through a Burial album. It's skippy and stuttery, but like Duke Ellington said it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. And I'm not seeing enough swing in it all. The swing brings the sex and the energy, and I don't know, I don't really get much of either from these kind of tunes, whatever they're calling them nowadays. 28 Gun Bad Boy fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Jul 17, 2011 |

Does Skream have anything more like Tortured Soul or Midnight Request Line? I like his self-titled album alright, but those first two tracks are killers and pretty dissimilar from the rest of the album.
