Haha I had a 5 strip trip last night so I can totally get what your saying, making music after the whole trip does give u a big burst of creativity, I feel like I know what I want to play and how to get the right notes if I really think about.... I love Lucy, definitely helps when your making music
I would like to watch this on 5 hits of acid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXdVnDVjSL8"]YouTube- Dubstep Turntablism
anyone worth a shit will play out on pioneer cdjs or technics with time coded vinyl and a laptop. Possibly just a controller with a few DAWs. live hardware impresses as well. but "Scratching" with a couple of denons ins't impressive really. the tracklist hes playing in the video isn't a progression, its the same played out dubstep sound churned from overused sample packs with the same cookie cutter shit. that dirtyphonics track is def overplayed by now. play some James Blake; something more cutting edge. that's kid is genius.
i know it was already said but Animal Collective is great. Also the Tear Garden's album Sheila Liked The Rodeo...it's a completely improvised studio album using tidbits of samples from their tracks on Last Man to Fly. Sunev Dna Sulumor is my favorite on Sheila. i heard Sheila first and kept recognizing the sounds when i listened to Last Man later. and for anyone who doesn't know...The Tear Garden is made up of former members of bands like Skinny Puppy and the Legendary Pink Dots. Gong is a really cool band...really old rock/jazz jam stuff and goofy lyrics. Luke Vibert - Yoseph is a GREAT album. it's just goofy to listen to...brought a friend and i together just sittin in the dark and listening to it. the The's first album Burning Blue Soul is kinda cool to listen to but it doesn't bring out the most buoyant of feelings. Glitch Mob is kinda cool too. i don't have many suggestions though..i've been in love with jungle from 94-96 for the last decade and didn't come back to "organic" music until i went to see Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Pnuma Trio opened for them.
dubstep seems to be really bandwagon right now. i remember people telling me about it back in 99 and never heard of it again until a couple years ago. now it seems like everyone loves dubstep..even all the edm noobs jammin to basshunter and tiesto and deadmau5. on the website i spin for everyone is all about it and its "filthy beats" etc. even the little girls who's parents won't let them go to raves yet but are dreaming of their first opportunity to go out in their underwear. it's kinda a bummer. i'll probly get into it after the hubbub dies down.
James Blake was sure different, but not as gnar as that guy breakin it down to some "mother fucking big phat bass"! Dubstep is catching like wild fire. I've already gone to five shows this year. Its just the insanity of it. Makes you feel alive! I got some dubstep raps in the process. But shh... don't tell anyone. But shit even Wu-Tang got in on that, so I know its gonna be some kind of explosive phenomon. I think simply the fact that its music without words and so extreme, its cuts right into you. And on LSD its does crazy stuff to your body and mind. I also think that more music without words is gonna come out, music with just small power lyrics orchestrated into it.
though it is popular there is some artistry involved as well. a lot of artists are moving the sound in a very experimental direction. sure youve got your grinders like nero, rusko, skream, benga, ect putting out radio jams and then there are intelligent artists like Eskmo, Djunya, Headhunta, James Blake, Brokenchord producing stuff that pushes the dubstep envelope yet retains the dub production techniques. Really you have to dig through tons of shit to find anything decent these days. fuck youtube and blogs. go to labels and artists for music.
a lot of dnb producers have moved on to dubstep too. and now there's drumstep..which sounds like it's trying to climb back into dnb. could just save themselves the trouble and go back to dnb : ) lol
you got it right about diggin through lots of stuff to find a little bit of good. it's like the universal truth about anything at all. as for dubstep i'm not an avid enough listener to know any names...just listen to it when my friends put it on. i'm tryin to find 2step right now without the annoying diva vocals.
i agree...the moments i've dug it the most was while i was trippin. my bro made a ringtone of a dubstep track that sampled the phone call of that cop and his wife that made pot brownies and tripped fuckin hard and called 911 for help...it's kinda funny : ) "time is going really really really really really really slow..."
Im all for deconstructing genres and recombining the root elements into something new. From listening to the past few radio 1 essential mixes and label sneak releases and it seems the dnb elements are getting more and more common lately. At least more breaks and familiar dnb/jungle samples are working their way into the tunes. It can sound good or horrible depending on how its executed. Ive even heard dubstep with dark psytrance elements worked into it as well. Dragon has a track with a dubstep influence as an intro into a set. Also Bird of Prey has an EP with some dark tribal sounding dub. you can't even name that guy in the denon video or a single track he played.
i'm holdin out for old skool jungle beats to resurface..i miss them : ( and for the feeling that came along with old skool rave tracks...it's completely gone from all edm genres
I agree. however some things are best left in the past. there is good music coming out every day under your nose.
yeah i know what you mean Omacatl. some of the old skool producers are bringin the influences back though. High Contrast - If We Ever...and Jonny L - Evah both have a nice sound to them. i'm open to new music too..i don't want to close myself off to possibilities of something good. i just found my way to the music i like by abandoning what everyone else was listening to..and now i have a complex about it lol : ) and as good as dnb has gotten over the past few years..i still can't get over jungle. i find dnb overproduced and often times repetitive to the point of not wanting to finish the track i'm listening to most of the time. then when i spin some jungle no one can jam to it and they're all "how is someone supposed to dance to this?"
