I defer to your collective knowledge to help me out, because as someone who doesn't usually listen to this sort of stuff, I'm completely lost when it comes to where to start looking. Mixes Homie. Listen to mixes that producers that make the kind of music you like make. its a pretty easy way to find a lot of tracks to go off of. For instance Russ Chimes has a five part expressway mix(part one) that is phenomenal imo and has a ton of good tracks and artists. And I'd guess the album isn't dead but at least in dance music it isn't the easiest way of getting exposure. Idk, Melee would be a better person to ask because he actually does value the idea of an album, and produces and plays and whatnot. Do you like any of the tracks of the Shiny Disco Club Millenium Disco?

I do like some of the stuff in the mix you posted: some of it's a little too bombastic for my tastes, but I can dig it, yeah. I guess what I'm after is a little more droning and less upbeat. I'm looking up some more Russ Chimes stuff now, and perhaps he wasn't indicative of exactly what I'm after: although Daytona in particular really stood out to me as something I want to hear more of, it's striking me as a bit of an aberration in his catalogue now. I don't even know what genre these songs fall under, which doesn't help. I guess I just find it strange coming from years and years of consuming cohesive works from a singular artist to now having to scrounge around for singular tracks that I like, because nobody seems to be putting out entire albums. SymbolOne in particular is notorious for it: I've known about them for years, and I still have to resort to looking them up on Youtube when I want to listen to them.

Dance music is still very much focused around the single. A-side + B-side. Listen to mixes and individual tracks. Albums are definitely made but singles and EPs are the norm.

I've been getting into electroswing lately. There are all kinds of genres being remixed with swing, even dubstep. If you are new to it check out this Glenn Miller band remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7kO3udJc3c

Can't say i delved into it too much but electroswing seems like a real gimmicky sound to me. Initially i thought it was cool too and bought a compilation but its just... its not something you follow or make entire sets out of (that would be annoying as gently caress imo). As i said i didn't explore much into it though.. if people made their own swing samples to base tracks on and made them a consistent sort of sound it would be better i think personally. The album i got varied in BPM from like 120 to 170 is kinda weird too, it just seems to imply to me the idea is lets find an old track and add a bet. Some of the tracks have a great groove to them in the actual electro part, i think they don't need to so heavily rely on samples/vocals to make cool tracks with the sound. Maybe its stupid complaint when i listen to genres which sample constantly. but this felt like there was too much from the original tracks. My case in point would be this for example which has a decent original groove added. Its just too cheesy like this.. Also it all reminds me of loving Doop - Doop. Thats basically electroswing before it existed and i hope nobody thinks thats good? I only just noticed this but Swing Republic - On The Downbeat sounds the same as Doop, i assume its same source track? edit: i listened to the example tracks and they got the same problem imo the dubstep one just has midrange added. I think this is a lazy 'new' sound... what comes to mind as a better alternative style that could built on is like Siriusmo - Plastic Hips (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2dNbHJwapU).. is it more or is in vaguely similar in some way to swing? just original infinity2005 fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Dec 26, 2012 |

Id you like this stuff tho heres a track to check out maybe: Jumping Back Slash - Granadilla Lolly. I picked it up somehow on vinyl without knowing what is and still don't know. But it's a good example of using original synths to create a unique sound around rather than relying on old instruments samples.

So many women. Club house is redundant - disclosure is house. I hate that unofficial fan video, but I think that Latch is actually their main single right now, and I'm mixed about the video just as much as I'm mixed about the track. I do have to say that, judging by their appearance on boiler room b2b with skream that they're p awkward DJs.

Quite frankly I'd appreciate it if all the legit forward-thinking music were discussed in the UK Bass thread (that includes the techno thread) because keeping track of multiple threads is a little annoying for me. But I understand why het would want multiple threads going to keep things interesting. I, however, will continue to post about whatever techno/house/grime/etc I listen to in the UKB thread.

demonR6 posted:That was loving great, I love it! Any more recommendations along those lines? Yeah, check out the /r/electroswing and /r/swinghouse subreddits. I also listen to electoswing radio on tunein.com sometimes. infinity2005 posted:Can't say i delved into it too much but electroswing seems like a real gimmicky sound to me. Initially i thought it was cool too and bought a compilation but its just... its not something you follow or make entire sets out of (that would be annoying as gently caress imo). I totally get what you're saying. When new stuff starts getting remixed the mix is usually a bit overdone and clumsy at first, like how people were/are overdoing the autotune voice thing in pop now or how record scratching was overdone in the 80s/90s. The mixing could be done better in many electroswing songs, but that's just how art is, it takes time to experiment and find what works. Eventually you will hear more music where it flows together better, I think. I hope that eventually the swing elements will be more seamlessly used by musicians, like how you can hear ragtime elements in rock without all rock songs being covers of the maple leaf rag. Some of Caravan Palace's stuff is mixed more smoothly, IMHO. You might like that. I actually kinda like doop. I don't know all that much about the history of electroswing, but from what I can tell Parov Stelar is considered one of the fathers of the genre. He has some good stuff, but the early stuff is pretty clumsy. The newer stuff is getting smoother. That said, the genre will grow not because people like us who are into electronica/house/dubstep like it, but it will grow because the swing dancers are into it. That is why you will hear more swing in the music and it won't be smoothly mixed in for a while. Beleive it or not, there are swing dance clubs all over the place if you look into it. In my area you can go out and swing dance at least 3 or 4 nights a week without driving more than 20 minutes, if you want to drive an hour you can swing dance every night of the week. These places do get live bands a lot, but when they don't have a live band they have somebody putting on CDs or they have a DJ. DJs in my area don't exclusively play electroswing, but the swing dance club DJs I know say the crowd loves it when they throw it in to mix things up a little bit now and then. Swing dancers know every song that you could play, so remixing it gives them a chance to improvise a bit more. (Side note: If you haven't been to a swing club you should check it out... it's fun and if you're a guy it's really easy to hook up at a swing dance club)

Anyone know of good "witch house"? I know some don't properly recognize that as a sub-genre, but anything that uses choppy samples and stop-timing like Pictureplane's "Goth Star" would be desirable. Even further, I'd liken what I'm looking for to HEALTH's "cover" of Goth Star. Its just more paced and adds some lyrics. For those of you who don't know this material, here are some links: Pictureplane: http://youtu.be/3VXqMZJtAME HEALTH (though they are NOT House music, they do a wonderful re-rubbing of sorts of the previous song): http://youtu.be/WCptwLAJ6HA Also, can anyone really put some history behind "witch house"? To my knowledge it was just a term coined by Pictureplane. Is this true?

Basically here are my rough ideals for how threads should work:
Years ago we had like a dozen metal threads on the front page, because a lot of people like metal and we would see new threads for every big new metal release. Having threads for new popular releases is not a bad thing, but I think people not interested in metal saw a shitload of metal threads on the front page and were just turned off. So I tried to consolidate those to one thread. That worked sort-of-okay, but subgenre threads popped up, and that's probably not a bad way of handling that (maybe we should restart all those). I've been thinking of late that the electronic threads are probably too concentrated (esp this one). Threads per-album or per-artist would probably be overwhelming outside of exceptionally popular/interesting instances, but more subgenre threads I think would be good. the UK Bass thread is a good example of what I'd like to see, partially because 28 Gun Bad Boy put so much effort into the informational posts on the genre, but also because of the fact that there's at least some unifying aspect to it. The whole House/Electro/Synthpop thing ended up being a probably bad idea, traditional house tends to get overwhelmed, and synthpop is only here because there was overlap with the current perception of "electro". I think it would probably be a good idea for this thread (and the techno thread maybe) to branch out a bit so we have more discrete definitions for each thread. Anyway, I'm not 100% decided on anything, but since the topic came up I figured I'd offer my take on it.

But I understand why het would want multiple threads going to keep things interesting. The thing is, stuff you/we're all posting in the UKB thread genuinely deserves to be there if you ask me, as they all share that common root of being from or strongly influenced by what's been going on in the UK dance music world for the past however many years. That's why we set up the UKB thread the way it is so it does cast a wider net which I think help bring more people into it. Now not every bit of House or Techno should be in there of course, but just as we've seen here over the past few pages the likes of Disclosure, T. Williams or whatever should be in the UKB thread versus the generic Techno/House threads as they all share a lot of common roots. het posted:Basically here are my rough ideals for how threads should work: Which is exactly how it should be. Like I was saying in the Techno thread, I think what may be better is - rather than having many new theads etc - just have things a bit better organised and presented with a solid and easily understandable OP/description of what they're supposed to be talking about. Yes, yes closely linked scenes hippy dippy everything should be one blah blah, it all appears very nice and all but as I kept on mentioning it does help to at least roughly have a tag on things especially if you're new to it all and want some kind of solid base to start with (and personally I think you still can roughly tag stuff, despite whatever crossover appeal a particular tune may have). Again like we were all talking in the other thread, you could go about putting the whole Tech/Deep/Etc House stuff (I don't really want to say 'underground' as that's not really what I mean, but you know what I mean!) in with the various Techno stuff as personally I think there's a far greater crossover of heads regarding those scenes and sounds. Do that and you'd probably get a deeper knowledge base because of it, and hopefully that would lead to better and more useful discussions etc. At least that's what I think. I know I rarely post in this thread as most of what people talk about don't interest me. If there was one whole thread devoted to what I do enjoy then I'd maybe keep a closer eye on things and stick my terribly unwanted/non-sensical oar in more often. And I wonder if there are more people like me out there.
