cba to listen again now but iirc wasnt 'me x u (plastik cups)' at the end of ill blu's xlr8r set somewhat in this vein

Yes in the sense of being straight house with yearning vocals - still more in their prior metallic throb sonic mode though whereas this is a full blown embrace of current trends.

Thats the best Ill Blu tune I've heard for ages. I predict Fuzzy Logik will crop up again in this thread before the year's out (fingers crossed).
Not pop-house, but Black Butter signing Scrufizzer is a good look. Is this track produced by Funkystepz?https://soundcloud.com/scrufizzer/scrufizzer-illusion

So... it's more direct than regular deep house, or something?

Saturday in the dance field at Glastonbury, across two adjacent stages - AlunaGeorge -> Bashmore -> Mistajam -> Rudimental -> Disclosure -> Maceo Plex -> Hot Natured. It's like they read this thread while programming it.

p sure they can gauge the uniformly huge popularity of those artists by themselves bro, it's not like they're music journalists or anything
― r|t|c, Friday, 21 June 2013 12:43 (ten years ago) link
They have historically been terrible at filling those stages, it's usually a Fatboy Slim/Carl Cox back to back preceded by I dunno Talib Kweli or someone.

Lulu James's "Closer" is so good and I don't know how I miss it the first time around. It's not that subtle.

Have to agree with that immediately.

I can't make my mind up about clean bandit either. I'm glad they're on the label though. LOVE Nightingale though.
err...slightly spammy and tangential to this thread, but this is a sort of follow up to the house pop mix (i.e., lots of black butter but the much harder and bassier stuff mixed with garage).

Not really feeling that Ill Blu but I'm putting that down to the vocals rather than the groove. It's still a good look for them, I keep forgetting that before all the storming beat-em-up soundtracks they could put out a tune like 'Say Yes'.
The Riton/Meleka tune is terrific though.

this would be a felicitous time for t williams to start banging them out, the ejeca/warehouse urban undercurrent marries well with his otherwise usually untempting stiffness. vibe to keep an eye on

One of the big things that's killing me about this wave of UK dance pop is how much of it has really good tunes, simply really good tunes. (OK carry on with your more expert conversations.)

that new kidnap kid is choice tho
anyone know what's up with these dudes? https://soundcloud.com/bondax/giving-it-all
song is pretty pro forma & not very inspired but 50k plays in one day? i think they're supposed to be nsync to disclosure's bsb or whatever the appropriate british analogy is
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 July 2013 16:30 (ten years ago) link
"gold" got a lot of radio play and wound up in a lot of mixes but i don't know much about them beyond that. it's a sort of balearic bubbler i guess? not sure i hear the disclosure comparison beyond the fact that they also look about 12 years old to this fogey
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 1 July 2013 16:45 (ten years ago) link
i still think of t.e.e.d as the nsync (although maybe they missed the boat?), bondax are more like idk, o-town
― r|t|c, Monday, 1 July 2013 17:11 (ten years ago) link
you know what i think it is about that (otherwise a+++ excellent) kidnap kid tune, the way he cuts in the vocal sample on that intro is so paul poli that i automatically experience a lingering trace of pavlovian disappointment when the ware-alike comes in and happens to not be teedra
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 20:20 (ten years ago) link
kidnap kid's delicate sensibility does not scan like that of a uk dance producer/listener at all really, it's kinda miraculous. let alone a former dnb raver
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 3 July 2013 20:27 (ten years ago) link
Kidnap Kid tune is amazing, and yeah Paul Poli is spot on, surely Teedra (aka uk house and funky diva of choice) is in fact available to help out here.
I've taken to playing "Animaux" rather a lot in the car, mainly so I can sing along to "DREAMER".
