If you're in the bay area you need to get your rear end to Som tonight for Shook. https://www.facebook.com/events/315678175159319/ Cosmic Revenge is headlining with residents Sam Supa (Surefire, Brap Dem) and Epcot (Frite Nite). Epcot in particular is one of the most criminally underrated DJs I know of. You owe it to yourself to check him out. Oh yeah, and it's free before 11.

Yeah, that tune is seriously tough. I'll be doing some research on them this weekend.

Yeah, the term Trap isn't unique to bass music. We're basically just taking a sound that has been big for quite a while and co-opting it for a white audience. UGK is a really great place to start if you're new to southern hip hop but the production is generally much more melodic than today's iconic trap beats. I like this stuff a lot but I see it catching on and having the same problems that dubstep has. The tunes coming out now (Bauuer, Hudmo, Lunice, etc.) are so huge and so stripped down that there really isn't any room for the sound to grow in that direction and we're going to start seeing a lot of lovely knockoffs.

air- posted:While we're dropping suggestions, please school me on juke/footwork. I'm halfway certain that I missed some previous posts on the thread about it, (was it discussed here?) but I do want to learn more. I find that juke and footwork tunes are pretty boring (sometimes bordering on irritating) unless they're being mixed. You probably want to listen to some mixes. DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad are the best in the game, bar none. That isn't an opinion, it's a fact. Here are their appearances on the always-entertaining Just Jam: First Appearance (Late 2011): http://youtu.be/QyvN-bNTf0U Last Week: http://youtu.be/dCvww5BbAuI

28 Gun Bad Boy posted:Nope I still don't get it. So it's just Southern Hip-Hop with a fancy new name? People here have been going on about Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka etc for ages (obviously all filthy southsiders mind, we don't tolerate that in the east end) but I just figured it was regular ol' Rap? But it's not and it's actually called Trap. Or is it Trap Rap? All because it's got a fancy synth line and some hi-hats through it? You're right, it isn't anything new, it's just a new context and maybe using synths where a hip hop producer would use samples.

Farm Frenzy posted:has Darq E Freaker put out much more than blueberry and cherryade? I know he produced next hype a few years ago but I can't find that much by him other than those two and a few mixes. Guy's easily my favourite grime producer right now though. He actually has a show on my station https://www.nasty.fm so you can find his podcasts and whatnot there.

Number Two Stunna posted:That Squire of Gothos remix is sick man, what are you talking about. Do you like bassline house or early '90s rave? I guess the bassline aspect of that remix makes it somewhat relevant to the discussion but that release gets a huge thumbs down from me.

x!te bike posted:I just discovered Elefo. Guy from London making some Juke and Trap influenced UK Bass. If you're into this stuff you should check out the netlabel B.YRSLF. Also Elefo has a label in the works called Pet Liger. He sent me a promo t-shirt for it and it's pretty rad.

I'm game. It's tough because nowadays it seems like the biggest tunes get rinsed out so fast. I'm having a hard time thinking of a really "big" tune from this year that I'm not sick of. Maybe I'll try to think of some tunes that some people might have missed.

Alright, after much deliberation I'm going with French Fries - Yo Vogue http://youtu.be/D5mU2h6UnOw This is just a great example of so many of the things that have been happening recently in bass and club music. You've got the blurring of the line between your post-dubstep bass music and Dirtybird-esque bass oriented tech-house, booty house, or whatever you want to call it. You've got the bmore / jersey club kind of vibe going on. You've got the half time breakdown with the trappy hi hat thing. You've got the Ha sample and the increasing gay influence; it's all there.

Excellent reply Mike. I won't deny that BallTrap's poo poo knocks, but it's just at 11 the whole time. It's as cheesy as everything else on Mad Decent, people just aren't sick of it yet. House music for people who don't know house music or trap music for people who don't know trap music, it's the same idea.

BaconCopter posted:Any djs in this thread by chance that can give me any tips? I don't know what that device is but it sounds like all you can really work on now is technical stuff and selection. You can't really overstate the importance of selection but I don't know if you can really establish any continuity with just 1 deck. You can practice beatmatching though, and once you get passable at that start recording your transitions and listening to them. Compare them to mixes from good DJs. The things you're doing wrong will start to pop out. Also, check out the DJ thread and the DJ mixes thread in Musicians Lounge.

Number Two Stunna posted:http://vibedeck.com/feelings/rabit-terminator-ep Oh man, I love Rabit. He used to send me dubs on the regular. Google doesn't know what the gently caress I'm talking about but he sent me a tune called Feels Good that I still play all the time. Edit: I think I recognize So Clean off the EP. I must have an early version of it somewhere. Dopo fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Nov 14, 2012 |

NTS is great but it's not always dance music. Check out RWD FM and Nasty FM for sure.
