28 Gun Bad Boy posted:loads of awesome stuff YES. Thank you again. You don't understand how helpful these things are. I'm only 20, I've been djing and collecting records for about 4 years now. I loving love all the older styles, all the way back to acid house - and you would not believe how much of a disadvantage it is to not have actually been there. The jungle classics that get mentioned now are just the same old recycled 20 - Valley of the Shadows, Babylon, etc etc. The same goes for garage (I am pants-wettingly excited for your garage editions). The thing is I miss out on all those tunes that you really had to be part of the scene at the time to know about - which is exactly what you provide. And you would be amazed how many of these are available on CD/digital, even if vinyl can be hard to come by. I can't thank you enough!

Just finished one of my new mixes to help promote the society/night that I help run down in Exeter. Taking in a big spectrum of music - there's a whole shitload of music that isn't on there, originally I was going to do a big loving 3 hour mix but I decided to split it up into two. This one's the more 'party' vibe mix - I tried not to be too deep and obscure on this one, because at the end of the day it is promoting a party night for students. http://www.beatsandbass.co.uk/blog/2011/8/9/a-mix-to-riot-about.html Mala - Changes (Majic's Funky Edit) MJ Cole & Wiley - From The Drop (L-Vis 1990 Remix) Breach - Fatherless (T.Williams Remix) Bok Bok - Reminder Sinden & SBTRKT - Seekwal Ray Foxx - The Trumpeter Major Lazer - Pon de Floor Instra:mental - Thomp SBTRKT - Wildfire (Objekt Remix) Caspa - Fulham 2 Waterloo (Roska Remix) Zinc - Nexx Sweet Female Attitude - Flowers (Sunship Edit) >> Jammin - Go DJ Some Treat - Lost in Vegas Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate Artful Dodger ft.

28 Gun Bad Boy posted:That's actually the reason that they're not in there. While I normally end up putting in one or two big classics, I always try and focus on stuff that's maybe not as well heard of. Something you wouldn't find on your average Telstar compilation. Gonna sound like a weird request, but do you reckon you could list a bunch of the best of those sorts of tunes? Only a lot of the less well-known speed garage tunes are pretty much only possible to find on vinyl these days, whereas stuff like Gunman, Ripgroove, Sugar is Sweeter, Oh Boy etc are much easier to find on digital.

Riot.EXE posted:So, I brought my subwoofer + speaker set to work and was blastin' "Safe or Sorry" - Vaski...and this customer that came in thought it was Skrillex. That worries me. Anyways, I wrote down what the track was (I'm not the music elitist type) and gave it to him to find on his own and told him to not even worry about Skrillex. Yep, this. I'm part of a crew who run a bi-weekly student(ish) night in Exeter, UK. For a UK town, the underground music scene is TINY. There are a couple of other promoters who bring names down - one who has started getting people like Hackman, Blawan etc, and another who specialise in weighty dubstep; Distance, Benton, et al. Both these promoters are great, but they're pretty infrequent - both have nights once every couple of months, simply because there isn't the demand necessary to have a headliner every week or something. This is where the night I'm involved in is really thriving - we've started a small but regular thing, and started building a scene around it - t-shirts, a proper online presence with regular music and scene-related updates, a proper brand, good graphic design, etc. It's amazing how receptive people are to new music once you show them that there's no elitism around it, it's just in the context of having a good loving party. It's got to the point now that we're hitting the club's capacity every single time, and so with a crowd of 300 students who have otherwise spent their entire uni career going to top 40 clubs (that's all there is), I can get away with playing everything from 'Skeng' to Night Slugs edits of r&b tunes in one set and they'll LOVE it. 28GBB is so right about the positives of starting a regular thing to form a scene.

thepopstalinist posted:*e - Wikipedia says that Pinch's mix will be Fabriclive 61, in January. Something to look forward to. 62 is the guy who runs Critical Music, so more DnB I guess. That would be Kasra. I'm actually pretty excited by that - Critical puts out some of the small amount of d&b I still really like, and Kasra is a fantastically good talent-spotter. He's the guy who first picked up on both Rockwell and Hybris and gave them their first releases.

Of course that comes from DJing and life being much easier when you just have one tune per side, but still, it's so loving fiddly to find a particular place in a tune when they're all crammed into a tiny space. Also forgetting to change it to 33rpm always gets me.

Sounds like a wicked space. Tiny little clubs have got so much character. I remember I used to go to a club in Bristol called Tube, which had the shittest layout ever, but seeing people like Martyn and Spectrasoul on a ~50 person packed sweaty little box of a dancefloor was loving great. Edit: man, looking back on their listings I got to see some incredible acts there when I was 17/18. Scuba, Sigha, Shackleton, Untold, Pangaea, Hyetal, Morgan Zarate, Guido...this was all when I was bang into d&b and didn't know who any of these people were and all I knew was that I liked it and danced to it with my mates. Haha. Probably why I got into bass music so quickly when I actually started paying attention, it was all in the back of my mind already. Anae fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Jan 3, 2012 |

Yeah that Rockwell tune is d&b. It's a corker actually. Not quite so keen on the flipside ('Tripwire'), though I can imagine it destroying a d&b rave. Here's 'The Rain': http://soundcloud.com/shogunaudio/rockwell-the-rain Speaking of Rockwell, I supported him a few months ago and he had a bunch of ~130bpm tunes to test out. They were really really good too. He said he's planning on getting them released but not entirely sure how just yet. And yeah it looks like Icicle will be going from dubstep to d&b in this mix, he does that in most of his radio shows/mixes these days. His stuff (and most of the stuff he plays) is all absolutely cracking. Super-clean, but somehow with soul.

I was a 12 year old in the English countryside when that T.I. album came out, so forgive me for cracking you up that this is a new-ish sound to me. And it's relevant to this thread because the thread is about the UK Bass scene as a whole, and this sound is definitely influencing the scene. It's nice that this thread has largely avoided 'this music is/isn't that genre or this genre' talk, which is due to the thread being about a scene, rather than a genre. Let's keep it that way.
