Ah man I was there for that. Such a great tune, more melodic than his usual style at the moment and I think the combo works really loving well.

This is my favorite one, probably the worst quality (thanks to bros yelling)- but if you watch (it says this in the comments) Jackmaster at one point is just straight up chillin in the middle of the crowd, not dancing or anything.

Also, on the Boiler Room birthday, there is probably the best quality of the Jimmy Mack track.

Also, new Butterz zip is up. Four Royal-T instrumentals on it.

I just about poo poo myself the first time I heard the Jimmy Mack Remix since that was probably one of my favorite songs growing up. Is this one of those situations where it's just a bootleg and if it ever gets released it'll be maybe a short stack of white labels?

Has anyone heard of Damu? I picked up the record on that link and I'm severely loving Beat of Zen and Mermaid. If y'all have been enjoying Nguzunguzu like I have I wouldn't be surprised if you enjoyed that record too.

And just as a heads up, Damu also has an EP out next week on Blackdown's Keysound Recordings.

My only problem with Damu is I always mistakenly read the name as Domu. Oh Domu why did you have to quit making music! Why didn't you just stick it out for a few more years and maybe you could've ridden the current wave up.

Goddamn dude, I might as well have "Wow, thanks for the heads up" on my clipboard at all times. Great stuff.

For those of you who despise Mt. Eden you might find this pretty funny. I did an interview with them a few months back and it's getting edited right now but while I was talking to them, and by the way these guys are incredibly humble and very nice dudes to just be around, but they were talking about remixing things and how some weren't all that difficult to work with. For some reason I decided it was a good idea to say "oh you mean like that Omen 'remix'" and put the air quotes out. That room got soooo quiet. For those who don't know here's what I mean. They took it in stride though and we stuck around and drank at their hotel. They played some new unmastered tunes for me, and though it probably wouldn't excite many in here, they separated themselves from the wobble and it's nice to actually see someone's sound develop.

You could probably send them an email about it or something, I really don't think they'd mind.

And if you feel like remixing anything, I know they take any and all reworks from anyone, and will officially release them, in the zips I think.

Yeah I think they're most often talked about as "Witch House", which I guess... makes sense?

New Duncan Powell's pretty good! Also been listening to the Machinedrum LP and it's got me wondering why it took so long for him and Planet Mu to get together on something. Their sensibilities are hand and glove.

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".

Up until then it was a case of just buy everything in site as the scene was small enough crap wasn't really making it past the filter. Actually to rehash old war stories I've told here a thousand times, it was their single on Boka that I passed by. It appeared the same time as this single by Nightwalker(not the D&B artist), which is the one I picked up. A real pick what wire you wanted to cut moment. I stand by my choice, even though Nightwalker was never heard from again and The Others have gotten pretty big. Story of my life really. Oh ignore the lovely video graphics in that yt video.

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.

So despite being out a week already I finally got the Roska mix CD. All I can say if you've not picked it up, pick it up right now. Fantastic mix full of fantastic tracks, what more do you want?

Actually slightly relevant to the above conversation regarding me not paying attention to artists if their first couple of works is shite. Redlight. The Roska CD has a couple of his tracks on it and everytime I hear them I'm still amazed that he was once Clipz. I don't understand how you can go from being that poo poo, to actually half decent. I'm struggling to remember the last person to do that. Don't get me wrong I don't think it's as good as what everyone says, but it's not half bad, not half bad at all. A drat sight better than what he was up to before in any case.

Like you said, creatively used movie samples are great and you can trust N-Type not to put absolute poo poo into a set, mixtape, compilation or whatever. But too many of those poorly done jump-up wobbly tunes just follow the same pattern of using a big minute long chunk of movie dialogue as the intro > straight into wobbles. Pretty blah.

In other news, I'm currently typing up the next part of my guide. In between listening to tracks though I've got some pumping UK Garage playing, you know bit of a palet cleanser kind of thing going on. Not a good move on my part, especially when I whack this tune on the turntable, and I end up leaping up from my seat and pretty much ending up like this. Thank Christ no-one can see me. But sign of a great tune I guess. Can you get a guy up and swinging to it at 2pm on a Thursday, with nothing but a cup of tea and a roll and sausage in him? It's what all producers should be aiming for as far as I'm concerned.

It's August, someone told me years and years ago August was the worst time for new releases. No idea why though, wasn't smart enough to ask then. Late summer blues? Back to school slump? Lazy continentals taking their holidays for the whole month?

On the plus side part 5 of the UK Bass guide will drop very, very soon so that should (hopefully) give you something to talk about.

If my proverbial weekly shopping cart is anything to go by, only slightly. Planet Mu's got a new Footwork album coming out and by the sound of it, it's their best yet. Not "bass" in the strictest sense, but.

Also found out that Starkey's coming through this month. Gonna go see him, sure enough. I've missed him the last few times he's come over the years and he's dropping by on my birthday. I'm expecting at least an awkward, fawning chat after the set like I had with Pearson Sound, but their music is... much different. I should ask him what the lay of the land is w/r/t Slit Jockey & Butterz.

There's also a Silkie show and a big yearly blowout w/ Caspa, Tunnidge, dBridge, Bok Bok and Kingdom but I will have literally no one to go see it with :( I'm also kinda sore about the fact that out here Skrillex or Doctor P or even a local wobble schlockmeister will play to sold out crowds and the best Pearson Sound can manage is a half-full floor. Zed Bias and Moldy had half of that. I hate it. I imagine Starkey might draw a crowd since his sound's a little more American-friendly but I can't really dance if I'm sad.
