who knows about maverick sabre? is anyone in the world really ready to discuss maverick sabre? i think i'm ready to discuss maverick sabre.
in particular i would like to hear the views of a local garda regarding this preposterous pikey.

Tell me about him/her/them.

OMG! 'get freaky with you' is such a banger. best funky track of the year, so far? most likely.
― rusty_allen, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:33 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm starting to think so!
― Tim F, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:39 (thirteen years ago) link
a kind of mistajamified urban brit frankendance
This sound is going to be huge but it already overlaps with Rusko and Chase & Status and people as well though doesn't it? Might have been what Tinchy was blindly fumbling towards at to an extent.

funkystepz' forthcoming face off ep is astonishingly great
― lex pretend, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:48 (thirteen years ago) link
there's a track called "piano storm" in particular which is just >>>>>>>
piano storm
This is right in the Ill Blu tradition of "look, we want you to know well in advance that this is going to be amazing" titles.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah "Piano Storm" is great. Was originally the backing music for some remix of a pop tune I think? But was a bit too massive and "look at me!" to work well in that context? Trying to remember back to funkystepz mixes circa Feb 2010.
― Tim F, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:53 (thirteen years ago) link
Funkystepz' "Warrior" also an amazing tune that hopefully will get a release soon (and "Lovers"!!! Please!!!!)
the tracks on the EP are champion/loca moca/piano storm/shocker - all amazing, so much house piano
― lex pretend, Thursday, 14 April 2011 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, 'warrior' is probably the one tune around right now that can son any ill blu number in a epic monster beef
the swing of it once it gets going is just !!!!

Ronan I assume you know "Turn Me On" as well??
― Tim F, Sunday, 17 April 2011 10:02 (thirteen years ago) link
no...just listening now.
the above reminds me a lot of elle by dj gregory or the francois k remix of moloko, could imagine the former being played in an in ill blu set. i like the whole set a lot actually, getting more into the more banger type stuff.
i love the track just before the sound cuts off for whatev reason at about 1hr 37 mins...

In my private version of reality the "Good Times" and "Green Light" remixes were as big as Guru Josh's "Infinity".

If anyone can see fit to use their expertise to upload "Get Freaky With You" to youtube, I will credit you in a (non-remunerative) piece of internet-writing thereby ensuring you achieve instant and eternal fame.

The 12th April set version of "Get Freaky With You" has an entirely different section at the end! Too many ideas in one track.
― Tim F, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:34 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe it is the next song?
― lex pretend, Monday, 18 April 2011 13:56 (thirteen years ago) link
No, it's the same track but the beat pattern changes - the third such switch-up in the track so not surprising except to the extent that i'd already thought the tune was gargantuan in its generosity.
― Tim F, Monday, 18 April 2011 14:01 (thirteen years ago) link
New section starts out with just this ominous bass pulse and kicks on the 3 and 4, and then these sorta underwater high-pitched papery drums. The restless inventiveness of it (not to mention the super sharp drums) reminds me of Dom & Roland's "Elektra".
― Tim F, Monday, 18 April 2011 14:07 (thirteen years ago) link
oh okay. i've never been able to tell where one track ends and the next begins in mixes
― lex pretend, Monday, 18 April 2011 14:08 (thirteen years ago) link
With this one it's pretty easy because the whole thing has these cycling vocals "uhuh uhuh uhuh uhuh ohohohohohohoyoy get. frea. ky. wit. you." And a ridic bassline of course.

Do Ill Blu ever actually DJ anywhere or do they just put out endless mixes?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 21 April 2011 15:59 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't think I've ever seen them on a club lineup now you mention it.
They must have played a club somewhere right? I just assumed they had. They've got the DJ skills it would be strange if they hadn't.
― jimitheexploder, Thursday, 21 April 2011 16:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Wait!
They put up info of the odd gig here: http://www.facebook.com/ILLBLU?sk=wall

I've been wondering what that Time Takers track was for weeks, its Vonstroke-jacking is shameless but it's going to be an anthem nonetheless.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 21 April 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
i saw ill blu dj at fact's halloween party last year (alongside bok bok, hyetal, dj spinn) - they were really good. played "omg"!
― lex pretend, Thursday, 21 April 2011 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link
i was so sure we'd come a lol id cropper with the funerealness tune but 'get freaky'?! wtf.
glad to have given laggardly dissensus vermin a titter anyway.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 21 April 2011 19:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Lol no way. Lucky I hadn't finished my piece. From now on I'll trust nothing but the "eww" drop.
An amazing tune regardless of course - who are the living Graham bond anyway?
Benny b is a good bloke I think btw.

From Facebook:
ILL BLUhope every1 remembers y they r celebrating easter, this is actually more valuable thn xmas as Jesus was born in september...Easter is when Jesus christ sacrificed his life so we could be forgiven for our sins...Today - Gd Friday, is the day to celebrate when Jesus shared the fish and bread between the 5 thousand so its time to get fryin...Have a nice day ppz...Amen

I'm not even religious and i approach all such seasonal messages with a fact-checker's censorious pedantry.
Update on The Living Graham Bond:
You can buy the "Get Freaky" tune on junodownload, it's called Purpl Pop's "The Way (The Living Graham Bond Remix)", the only difference being there's some additional, mostly irritating vocals. Ill Blu must have a dub or something. But the sound quality is blessedly sharp. From last year, irritatingly, so my opportunities to fete this for year end listicle purposes are restricted.
Nothing else by this dude sounds quite as magnificent (though forthcoming single "Werk" sounds promising) or Ill Blu-ish, however I ultimately purchased "The Bail Out" and "Guttergo", both on a Ramadanman tip (which, in retrospect, makes a great deal of sense). You can also download his free, enjoyable remix of Origin Unknown's "Valley of the Shadows" from his soundcloud.
― Tim F, Saturday, 23 April 2011 00:04 (thirteen years ago) link
a couple new remixes (from last year) are for sale on amazon's mp3 store - two fresh's 'whatcha', which from the sample sounds like it may be cut from the same cloth as the roll deep mixes, and then selah's 'woman's world', which is great & should please drama seekers, nice busy juggling rhythm with a hook that sounds like 'riverside'
