NEW TUNES

Half finished two tracks earlier. Not very polished, not mixed properly or mastered at all.

First one is pretty dark, get it here:

The other is quite Dilla-esque, 90 BPM

Any feedback would be great

bleurgh

Everyone's gone home really, sucks a lot. Moving in with Becca and Tan in Bow for a while until I get my new house. Gonna be fun. Miss my decks and nice home stuff now though, and that all my shit is spread around 3 separate houses. 

The Angriest Man Alive

This is pretty mad. I've been on this for a while but this version on Logan Sama's show is worth a post. Tempz starts off pretty chilled (well, as chilled as you can be whilst threatening to rob someone's house and steal their kids' toys) and works up until he's screaming. Sama drops Saxon towards the end, succeeding in making this sound very much like a shark attack before seemingly proclaiming the whole thing too much and turning off the radio. The sound effects or gun shots and smashing windows don't help, and neither does the wonky camera thing whenever they get dropped. 

Burial Vs. Four Tet

Just heard the Wolf Cub/Moth split 12". Moth is my favourite, the more Burial sounding of the two,  though the 4/4 house beat hints at a possible new direction. Wolf Cub has the cut up Four Tet drums that are all over Everything Ecstatic but towards the end Burial's staple rumbling low-end bass comes in. Perhaps the best thing about this release is that it is so clearly a collaboration - elements of both producers' style can clearly be heard, and both of their respective sounds fuse, creating a dark nightscape courtesy of Burial and giving a loose, improvised impression from Four Tet.

Both tracks are available on MP3, but unfortunately the 12" release was extremely ltd. edition and is sold out.

 

Birthday weekend - HEAVY

It is my 19th birthday today. Possibly my worst birthday ever since my actual day of birth (true I did get born, but coming out a bloody mess from my Mother's vagina definitely can't have been too fun). I'm at home in Tunbridge Wells and I have to stay in to look after our new puppy (Alfie), which involves patting him on the head constantly, stopping him from getting on the sofa and taking him for a shit in the garden every hour. Also, if he pisses or shits or pukes in the house I'm gonna have to clear it up. PRAY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

I'm just gonna sit here and watch Die Hard all day.

HOWEVER this weekend is gonna be an absolute smasher:

If I can last, this will be spectacular.

This is better. Far better.

Found a radio rip of Skream playing a tune I've been trying to find for a while. It's a jungle tribute called Burnin' Up and it is off the hook:

ALSO I did track last night which is pretty weak but if you wanna check it out here be the link:

Let me know what you think

CLAP YOUR HANDS

This is ridiculous. I was on dubstepforum.com last night and there was a post about new Skream track with people writing shit like 'this isn't dubstep' and 'if anyone else but Skream made this no one would like it', and if I'm honest I think it's pretty obvious where these seemingly hyperbolic statements come from. As aforementioned, this track is ridiculous. It's got the whole early 90s hardcore thing going on, but goes far further than that. There are 4/4 drums throughout and some heavy synths pulsing with about 32 bars of respite from a drum break (well, clap break) before the whole thing gets some half time treatment. Annie Mac talks all over this, introducing it as from the guy who did that La Roux remix. I would love to imagine the ones who've only heard that remix listening to this and wondering what the fuck is happening...

Although many will hate this, it can't be denied that this stands as a testament of how diverse a producer Skream is and how far the fella's come since Midnight Request Line and the like.

Also there are rave horns all over this joint. SO MANY RAVE HORNS.
