2562 comes one step closer to making me give up music

[cloak and dagger]

why would someone wanna quit making music just because theres greater artists..
if everyone would go by this no one would ever make any music anymore due to all the classical masterpieces

pretty sure Beethoven quit production a long time ago...tinnitus was it?

[Drop_Dead]

2562 is unbelievable.I'd love him and Martyn to do a q&a here

[antipode]

freakish. i remember almost pooing my pants the first time i heard Dinosaur.

[synthlf]

imo technicaly/production wise speaking i dont think that he is sooo amazing, but groove wise(that is the most important thing for me) he is the king, thats for sure

edit: thou "the times" has amazing production AND groove hehe

For Fever, which he’ll be releasing through his own newly minted When In Doubt label, 2562 has adopted a production approach significantly different to his previous work. According to a press release it’s “a thorough reinterpretation of underground disco music from the mid-seventies to the early eighties, with his own birth year 1979 as the gravitational point.” Every single sound, from the earth-quaking sub-bass on up, is pulled from a disco record – with no additional synthesizers, drum computers or sample sources in the mix.

Wow. WOW. What the fuck? Seriously.





.

Another stolen idea from Detroit isn't it? everything I hear from this bloke reminds me of something Techno producers did 10/20 years ago.

Richie Hawtin did something like this when he make tracks by using noises (artefacts) from previous productions.

[cloak and dagger]

sampling?

[Electric_Head]

this album is just incredible in every way.
That fact that it`s all sampled is even more

[Disco Nutter]

Sounds pretty good, listening to the preview right now.

[leeany]

Seriously, how are the rest of us supposed to compete with that?

well, we could try and be Burial ?

[dalvare1]

i dont get it, I mean im sure that he is a genius producer, but both of those tracks are nothing i would even consider listening to on my own free will. theres 50 ppl on here whos tracks I think are better. (by better I mean, I personally like to hear more)

keep at it bro, im sure you put out some sick stuff, and it will only get better.

A bit off topic but you guys ever listen to any older Dj Shadow stuff? Or UNKLE (Shadow and James Lavelle)? Technically trip hop I guess but amazing sample artist right there son. I dont know about his album Entroducing, but I'm pretty sure Pre-emtive Strike was produced ENTIRELY of samples from ancient records he hunted down in thrift shops and whatnot. Actually, but dont quote me on this, I think I remember him being in the Guiness Book for having the first major release LP to be created 100% from sampled records (which if accurate is kinda silly i know but still worth mentioning.) Check him if you haven't, even after 12 years he's still my absolute favorite artist to chill to or jam on my pod while walking around downtown!

Not his most technical work, but still one of my all time favs,

Mostly this. Shadow reigns as far as I'm concerned.

I know it wasn't meant to be taken this seriously, but I'm gonna go ahead anyway...

You try because there's a unique form of expression in all of us, and you strive to express that, or at least I do. There's a music for every emotion and situation. In one situation, Marilyn Manson is going to seem "better" than Mozart, while in another situation, Skrillex will seem "better" than Kode 9. Just make music that expresses yourself and people will find meaning in it.

Like I said, I know I'm taking it too seriously. I didn't even listen to the tunes by the way, I'm listening to Excision.

when it comes to sampling nobody touches Burial, J Dilla, Boards of Canada and Four Tet. NOBODY.

[alphacat]

It's a technical limitation that he's imposed upon himself, in exactly the same vein as the DSF samplepack competitions.

Making cool shit out of samples is just another technical skill. More importantly, as he says, the limitation keeps you focused.

Agree that Four Tet and Burial are also amazing, as are YACHT, RjD2 and others.. But disagree that nobody can "touch" them.
Matter of taste I suppose..

[Shum]

"Fever" is a fantastic album.

[cloak and dagger]

[zerbaman]

was totally unaware of this when I bought the album. Gives a whole new perspective to it. What a legendary producer!

[blinx]

2653 is def a bigger badman than 2562.
