Pantsmaster Bill posted:Any suggestions for more straight up dancehall stuff? Just start at stuff listed on the wiki page and go from there? this may seem lazy, but seriously, start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Dancehall_musicians I'm serious, Dancehall is such a deep and dense style, that you will NEVER run out of poo poo to listen too. Also, check the Reggae/Dancehall/Dub thread in EW http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2944374 there's alot of us in EW who are huge on this stuff, so that threads got quite literally a metric ton of poo poo to work through.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:Cheers man, looks like I have a lot of digging to do! a few quick starts for ya though would be Cappleton, Vybz Kartel, Elephant Man, Sean Paul, Mr Evil, and Sizla. just as a jumping off point. there's also alot of hate for some of those guys because they're all Digital Riddim based, but gently caress it they kick rear end.

oh yeah, on the Dancehall tip check out Kardinall Offishall BEFORE he blew up in the states. When he was still just a Canadian thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvnc_T4ymVI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Q_E3jEVEQ alot of our Black community up here in the Great White North are descended from Jamaicans/Trinny's so alot of our hip hop has a real dancehall feel.

Never seen Diplo, Major Lazer or Skream yet though so would catch them for sure, Green Velvet is probably going to be great, and Carl Cox is a legend... eh, if I do go I'm sure I'll cheese it up, more fun dancing to trance or whatever than standing around whining about the music. Looking forward to hearing stage 2 of the lineup though. dude, i know i stan over diplo all the time, but i cant even font, he is one of the best live dj's to see. so much fun.

Of the last four years I've gone, three of the years I've been hesitant on going because only a few of the main DJ's I cared for and I've been surprised every year. i made a promise this year that next year is my year to go to the conference. gotta hit it once before im 30, so next year is my last chance.

i think what alot of people dont realize that most people in the "scene" come from punk/hardcore roots. Like, flash back to 1996 and you'll find a young me at some victory records band show in a small venue somewhere goin' off.

CC are loving amazing, and i suggest everyone see them live. When they played in ottawa years ago Alice was freaking out on stage, jammed some dudes head up her skirt while screaming into the mic. Me and my buddy were standing on the side of the stage, she ran over and jumped on my back and essentially humped my tailbone and got in a loving wrestling match with me. It's pretty much one of the best live shows I've ever seen.

Volvagia posted:I hear so much negative stuff about them, including 'the dude doesn't do anything live', 'they steal most of their music from the 8-bit community', etc. etc. but they can craft some killer beats and their success means there is an audience for more out-there electronic stuff in north america so it's all good. Lighten up, CC haters. A. most acts you see dont do anything live, or they do very little. grow up you drat babies. B. the chip tune community is filled with manchildren who want their music to sound like a metroid boss level and cant ever understand that the melody they created [i]might possibly be stumbled on by someone else completely independent from them. grow up you drat babies. C. chiptunes suck and they're the reason that Deadmau5 exist. grow drat babies. D. grow up you drat babies.

CubistK2 posted:The singer's great for audience interaction and all (I've never seen so much crowd surfing in an electro act) but yeah thats about it. I saw them live and had quite the opposite experience. Alice's screaming just seems so unfitting and useless 90% of the time, she ruins any melody that the synth bros are going for. The only song I remembered enjoying was "crimewave", which thankfully they played about three times, realizing their only strength. At the end, they gave a big "gently caress off" to the crowd and refused to do any encores. sounds like a typical case of "bad night" i've had them before too.
