Tom Bass,
This Misirli Ahmet sounds great. I'm going to try to find that stuff. Just to return in kind. I was recently turned on to Burhan Ocal, another great Turkish percussionist. You might want to check his stuff. Turkey seems to have loads of great music. On a non-percussion tip, but still totally recommended, I really hope you try to find some music by the saz maestro, Erkan Ogur (pronounced oo-ur). Especially the Hic album.
Any other recommendations for percussionists though? I went to see an Iranian music night last weekend. It was The Payvar Ensemble. Six old geezers in suits. It was incredible! The drum was called tombak and there was a bit when he did a solo set. It just boggles the mind the way that he was playing, almost incomprehesible for someone like myself. I kept trying to count it out and get the patterns, but in the end I just gave up and enjoyed the performance totally absorbed.
Anyway, if you want to do some cd swaps of interesting stuff (percussive or other), you can pm me.

" There's something odd in the garage air, i can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's just personal over-saturation, but it feels like we might be in a mini lull. "
How can this be ? Does anyone else feel like dubstep is in a lull ?
Discuss !

Ha, yeah I think I need to pay more attention to what I write. I was talking to a friend the other day about vexed, probably the same day I made that mix/tl.ThinKing wrote:that's just "Vex'd" mate - Vexed Generation are a fashion brand: http://www.vexed.co.uk/eventualdecline wrote: Vex'd Generation - Bombardment of Saturn

this thread is fucking nuts! never clocked it, its all about the bare knuckles...there must be some red cheeks out there somewhere
thing ive got to say is that its a shame that nowadays theres such little involvement of big artists/figures in the scene here on the forum in discussion
but its understandable after that!

Haha, it's funny reading people's thoughts from last year. We were all so off the mark!
I can't believe we're still waiting on Ital002 as well... that was long even in October 2005.
Certainly not to the same extent.

As much as I hate to admit it, he's still right about this. Dubstep's popularity right now is down to the focus of all the croydon lot.. but maybe that purism resulted in increased commercial appeal but less variety?blackdown last year wrote:historically all the big advances for me have come from purism and not fusion sets.
You don't really see this anymoreblackdown wrote:that's why i like forward, culturally speaking too, because you get the rinse fm management next to some Rephlex fan, hoxton type next to some rudegyal there for Target. that kind of cultural fusion is rare and essential - that's why i mentioned it on the Forward 4th birthday flyer.


do you really not think this is still happening? i think with the popularisation of dubstep this is happening even more. perhaps in a less of a stark way but it's surely still happening.
fwd, for example, has recently seen many different tribes pass through - you just don't know who you're standing next to sometimes; where they've came from, how they got into the sound etc.
i think this is still alive. and i really really appreciate the way different people have come together to enjoy this sound.

but its the producer/djs choice whether they cater for the majority and their limited appreciation, or do their own thing and hope that those that know will follow
