madness

i've been reviewing stuff in that vibe for a French website, hoping to help the sound spread a bit here..

Kid Smpl remix of Shook by Arctic is one of my tunes of the year.

The only worry I have with this scene, which you'll remember was dubbed by an expert as Post-Disclosure Blackdown-House, is that Keysound straight smashed it right at the beginning with This Is How We Roll. It's so sick, it's still pretty much the best set of tunes those producers have put out.

Don't want this to die a quick death if people keep trying to perfectly recreate those vibes.

Hard to explain, and I don't think I'm doing a very good job Basically, imagine if The Roots Of Dubstep CD came out in 2003 and everyone just used that as a template rather than an influence...

[exfox]

yeah i can see what you mean. i thought more of this is how we roll as a manifesto than anything else though (starting with "new wave" - which says it all - then showing the diversity of that vibe, from darker stuff to e.m.m.a.'s more melodic tracks) so i don't think that's happening.. hopefully!
if you take like mumdance's twist and turns mixtape, it just seems to keep exploring new directions.
(speaking of which, i really hope his "truth" tune with mao sees release soon... this one's massive)

Personally I just see that comp as, amongst other things, as a starting point for multiple interesting directions. You can already see how E.m.m.a.'s gone from "Peridot" to expand into "Blue Gardens". My hope for this cluster of producers is that they each expand and grow their sound outwards while still keeping a connection to the others. That's when it gets really interesting...

[garethom]

Yeah, my point was really that I love the CD, and the producers on it, I just don't want the genre-defining release to be right near the relative start of its life. Feel like this scene has a lot of legs to be honest, was always gutted that post-garage/pre-dubstep period (Horsepower, El-B, Big Apple, etc.) never lasted longer, with this sound, it's the first time since I've heard music that gave me those same sort of vibes, amalgamations of a tonne of sounds, grime, dubstep, jungle, techno, whatever.

Basically, keep it going everyone. Feel like loads of the bods could put out really promising albums.

Imagine how sick an Epoch & Visionist collab would be.

[Phigure]

same goes for an epoch + beneath tune

for the record, i think people mostly make their best work when they work by themselves and go in their own direction for as far as they can, unless people know each other really well first (this matters when in the studio), but i dont want to dampen anyone's enthusiasm!

True, but Hydraulics shows what can happen when two people get on the same wavelength, bounce ideas off eachother and maybe a bit of healthy competition between eachother (that's what I imagine this collab was about anyway). That tune is a real classic.

[garethom]

Did you know the vocals on Hydraulics are by Jessie Ware?
