"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

i still think of t.e.e.d as the nsync (although maybe they missed the boat?), bondax are more like idk, o-town

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".

(I think one reason so much of this Benny B mix goes down so easy for me is that it's more disco than house.)

i love the new duke dumont and lulu james singles - interesting how both have gone for an opulent emotive house diva look this time round in contrast to the slightly staccato hooks of their breakthroughs
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 9 July 2013 09:00 (ten years ago) link
i like kidnap kid but am finding his stuff a bit too easy to stop paying attention to halfway through. clean bandit not quite doing it for me either.
the odyssey/ruby goe track rtc highlighted is a banger though

Xthread post @ tim
does kidnap kid qualify as part of your softcore continuum or I have got it wrong? :)

latest boogie skream track. not as good as the duke dumont and rudimental ones (his mix of 'hell could freeze' is possibly my fave track of the year), but still better than that rollercoaster one iyam

he's spitting over 'Spoons' and Kidnap Kid's 'Be more', some Woz riddims...an album from him drawing on the BB stable of producers could be great, chuck in a bit of funkystepz aswell. The (undeniable) dizzee comparisons might be a problem for some but the more I listen, the more he reminds me more of Duurty Goodz actually.
― Benny B, Monday, 29 July 2013 14:10 (ten years ago) link
havent heard this yet but scru and woz seem like perfect combination to me
― r|t|c, Monday, 29 July 2013 14:46 (ten years ago) link
ok 1 min in and whoa yeah he sounds a LOT like goodz
― r|t|c, Monday, 29 July 2013 14:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah he doesn't really sound like Dizzee until you hear him say 'skank' or 'brand new day' or something. Quite a lot like Goodz though but without the constant smirk in his voice.
This mix is fire by the way.

― lex pretend, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 18:21 (ten years ago) link
see he's back to channelling dizzee there. disturbingly uncannily too
good though, as is the mix. thing with monetizing scru is he is ultimately a spitter not a songwriter and therefore an instrument for trax. HOWEVER THOUGH do my ears deceive me or is that him singing a hook very decently on the last track?? now we're talking
― r|t|c, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 19:25 (ten years ago) link
in fairness he does just seem like a very absorbent chap in a very genuine inadvertent way, it doesnt come off like gimlet-eyed mimicry at all
his flirta d glossolalia moments are also spot on

i posted the original version of this somewhere earlier. it was a hit as an instrumental in some parts of europe and i guess now with these added vocals they are trying to reach the uk audience.

is it just me or can anyone else feel something deep under the earth, an almost noiseless tectonic shift, that guetta-pop and harris-ified "decadent" club bangers are already more than halfway to naff and will soon be the stuff of nose-scrunching reminisces on late-night TV
