the original tune is a beautiful piece of music, and so is coki's version too.

You beat me to it.

I dont think there's anything wrong with female vocals in tracks. I think it has to be done well though. That "Lovin You" track sounds real squeaky to me. The high pitch on it cuts through me like nails on a blackboard.
A good example of a vocal track is on the Andy Weatherall Fabric Mix CD, track number 5 by Alexkid called "Dont Hide It". There the vocal fits in really well with the acid line, and it doesnt sound like a simple sample grabbed somewhere thats just been cut and pasted into the beats.. it sounds very organic, like she sang straight over it.

I think non-grime style vocals is definitely an avenue for dubstep to explore - without hopefully the music behind it turning all light and fluffy (maybe someone can link to that "liquid" thread so people can read it without that whole debate being repeated).

With a slower beat it might be difficult for a vocalist to get some soul/tune, but its definitely do-able. There's probably artists out there as well who would give it a go. Jennifer Lara (RIP) was an old reggae singer who did stuff with the Basic Channel boys, I reckon a lot of dub or even ragga female vocalists would be feeling it for someting different.

Oh wait - I just remembered that song "Hater" by Various Production (?). Thats a female vocal dubstep track exactly what I'm imagining. Thats very good.

Oh and Shake Your Body used to go off in dances, I'm talking pre-chart business too.
very ture! I remember it gettin droped at Stratford Rex at 3 in the morning and the place went crazy! It was big feel good tune before it got so rinsed out/chart etc etc It was well diff at the time, that tune started the return of a vocal dnb phase.... LK followed it if i remember rightly and loads of other i cant be bothered to think of or look up.

Yeah those two standout as a main turning point for type of D&B played in the big dances, trailing on from the era of BC, Ed Rush & Opticial and Ram Raiders it was a breath of fresh air really.

But still it was ALL about BC, Ed Rush & Opticial and Ram Raiders.

i don't think there is anything wrong with dubstep+female vocals, especially that rhythm&sound stuff with a real oldschool roots/dub attitude is fresh! and that with the heaviness of dubstep could be very interesting.

the original tune is a classic. but i just don't feel the squeakyines, cuts into my brain. of course big up coki for trying something new, no doubt he's one of the most interesting producers out there...

basically it just surprises me that people are hyping this tune. it's not awful or so, but i just don't get it. and i'm pretty sure if some no-name amateur producer had done that remix in a similar way people wouldn't be so hype about it. (just my theory, i might be wrong too)...but good to see a big debate going on here.. discussion is essential.

i don't think anyone is denying that coki is a badman, he has to be the most popular producer in the scene? or one of them? we all feel his tracks - but surely some more than others?

love it that a few people are just casually saying it isnt for them and then this man gives it all the:

I dont see why on earth people would be so rejective of such a daring and different song that is obviously pushing boundries...whether they be good or bad!?

Not everyones going to produce similar dubstep forever...

It's the lalalala's that makes it queso.

this sums it up for me.

I find it a baffling choice of song actually. These are so many amazing love songs that stay well away from making me want to gag on saccarin sentiment.

Why that tune? for the high F? for the lalalaaaas? why?

I think it's going to be a bit regrettable. Play it once or twice for a laugh but please don't put it to wax. Do you really want it to your name? Not that it will overshadow other highly justified achievements but I think it will linger. I guess you do what you've gotta do and fuck what everyone else thinks.

Weird, first heard on dubstep allstars 5... Not the kind of thing i expected to get sampled, but that's why i love dubstep. As long as it doesn't start a trend of "ironic" sampling i am cool with it.

But all this aside, does this not remind you of a woman getting spanked in a tree by a dwarf with a space hopper?

It's amazing how history repeats itself. This discussion reminds me of the endless debates about R&B samples in Hip-Hop in 1990-1994, when everybody flipped when Method Man worked with Mary J. Blige. Of course, nowadays when Hip Hop and R&B can barely be told from one another it seems rediculous.
