This is my favourite post in this entire thread.
THAT gets a boh! haha. Oh and after listening to the Snare's Kriss Recs clips, it does not merrit a 7 page thread. It really is weak. Still we continue.. sorry kids.
Big diversion here, you can kick me in the nuts later, but in reference to the two going on about punk rock:
Snare's uncle - Mitch Funk - played in a really early, 80's hardcore punk band from Winnipeg called
Personality Crisis, who have much cred in the earliest hardcore punk sounds coming out of Canada. I never knew that until it was posted on his myspace a couple months ago, heh. So holy fuck -
Snares is a descendant of Canadian punk royalty. Could you believe that!!?? Its mindblowing.
"IDM is a mailing list not a genre."
Did you hear that?
IDM is NOT a genre,
Idm was only an aesthetic Amen brutha.. that was always my take on it heh. blah blah.
For the record, i only brought up the Planet Mu thing to mirror back any accusation of Snares "jumping on the dubstep bandwagon", or however that was worded. Once again, like i said, if you're a dubstep thug, bigging up yer chest and all that, um.. alot of peeps still criticise labels like Mu, Rephlex, and even Warp for bandwagon jumping on things like breakcore, grime, dubstep, et all. Its a tiring, continuing debate for some.
I do buy Planet Mu tunes, i mean, it is really onestop shopping. And maybe even too convenient sometimes. But I can understand the notion of peeps doing their thing for much longer, and then having a random label seen as rounding up the "greatest hits" of said sound. It happens everywhere, and we've heard this discussion before, so i'll shut up about it now. zzz..
Snares is NOT chinstroking music, i mean, if you ever talk to the guy, he'd never say he was
avantgarde. I'm not saying that there's no passion to what he does, but he's hardly gonna give a fuck about peeps on a dubstep forum dissing his wonky Ozzie tune.
People talking about dubstep purism - personally, i prefer the dubstep tweaks coming out of breakcore producers compared to alot of the typical dubstep sounds. The connection has always been there, and I think its a bit more interesting to listen to. You're never gonna find stagnancy there.
Some of this might be old news to some, but check out CardoPusher, labels like Terminal Dusk, you're already listening to Math Head, Drop the Lime, Dirty Needles & BlackMassPlastics were backed by Praxis Records a couple years ago - a direct breakcore influence on dubstep happening now. Rotator from PeaceOff / RUFF RECORDS - Ruff Records rocks, Starkey and the SlitJockey boys in the States (respects), Line47, Werk Discs, Dj Floorclearer & Ebola from the Uk, fuck even Shitmat did a couple bangers. Regardless, there's new stuff appearing all the time.
The point being - the Snares track might very well be a load of shite - but the shite load gets heavier when peeps think the model dubstep sound is something sacred.
Textbook dubstep , get over it.
