So, James Blake's...

[soosh21]

Seen james blake a few times, both solo and alongside mount kimbie....liking this new pop direction, it a fresh take although i do prefer his earlier stuff.

Ive been really into this tune as of late, its a remix of toro y moi.....really nice post-indie-soul step or whatever......just good music. Check!!!

I know this is old news but I am in love with this song...

[phrex]

This has inspired me to start looking at my background in writing acoustic guitar songs and maybe get on the mic and make some proper vocal -songs- instead of drawing for the beats and bass - at 140bpm! Who else is going in this direction or at least feeling it?

me!

Caught his dj set last week. Was great to hear some of his new dubs and limit was heavvvvvy. But I dont know if he was having an off night or what but the mans mixing skills are very poor

[soosh21]

dont really make much dubstep these days.....but i made something along the same veins ish of this thread. This is getting released in a few months time with 3 other tracks and a remix.

I know theres a feedback thread but im not looking for any i just think this may be relevant to thread.

cheers.

Soosh21 IS James Blake. What's up dood. CMYK is off the hook.

Limit To Your Love's cover comes out on Monday - This is a good day for music and most importantly dubstep in my eyes.

I am definitely loving this cross over. It's inspired me to create a lot of material.

It's the crossover that has been needed for years.

Yeah CMYK is dope! But im def not james blake! Usually make much different stuff than this, did it to change it up a wee bit and i just got a new korg synth.

[nowaysj]

which one bro?

[soosh21]

x50, but most of the synth in that tune was from my old trusty microkorg and bit form my micron. Alesis micron is the shit! nightmare to programme but you get a lot for your money!

am I the only one who thinks 'limit' is the most boring thing he's done?

it's pretty much the least innovative track he's made. i don't get the hype around that track, it's essentially just a conventional cover of an acoustic song with a verse that has subbass. yawwwwwwn.

Have you heard it on at least a semi-decent system?

mate - ii think you missed something out?!

[levitate]

i dunno, i dunno.

i've got a lot of love for his tunes but that one just sticks out as being creatively... bland, i guess. i mean, it's good as a moody soul tune, but i don't understand why it's being treated as a 'crossover' apart from the 60hz bass. it's generically quite conventional, unlike his previous stuff, which is genuinely all over the place. it doesn't feel like a dubstep crossover, it feels like a 60s soul ballad.

it just seems a bit anticlimactic: he blew up on the scene for basically coming out of nowhere with the most experimental sound/production for ages, and has very quickly (he must have had, what, 4 12s out or something? maybe less?) shifted into quite a standard soul-singer aesthetic. which is totally fine - he's obviously got mad talent - but it's not as envelope pushing. the whole thing reminds me of how jamie lidell used to be the most experimental singer/producer of the time ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBhcaDqaS9E ), then started making quite 'standard' motown soul quite randomly ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeSh805ekR0 ).

to be fair i've not heard it on a big rig and i'm going to check out his album, i think this new sound is probably much better suited to that format than his early sound

[edwardjjohnston]

james blake is amazing. i hope to see him soon

[soosh21]

Im really feeling this tune at the moment, his ep comes out soon on Pictures label....talented geezar!

Personally not such a great fan of his music, I love the idea of what he's doing, and respect him for doing so well with it, just not my kinda instrumentals tbh.

Then again, I wasn't in the optimal state of mind, or even listening on a particularly good system at the time so opinions may change

60Hz? Well lower than that.

Anybody heard Beardyman's version? It's quite funny.

Still don't get the fuss over this tune.
