What sounds cutting edge in 2016?

and if 'imago is a bigot, I read his Fader rant' is a thing now, then sure my posts there were totally wrong and misguided but at the heart of it was a disdain for The Fader as a shitty hipstery music-as-fashion sooo woke yah sex is so great yah these people singing about sex is so sexy they just want to impose their young sexy sex on us and we should be honoured superiority complex disguised as a magazine

...rather than disdain for people of any race or culture or orientation

Anyway, back on topic, Elysia Crampton is kind of awesome and has always grabbed me much much more than Lotic.

imago much love but you did start throwing shade at lotic completely unprompted, so your shock and awe at other people "flinging poisonous murmurings your way" comes off as slightly disingenuous.

Racism and homophobia need to be called our wherever they exist, as long as it happens in a way that doesn't disparage music you like, in which case it becomes so irritating that you have to bring it up two years later for no reason.

Like obviously I don't think you're about to go out and join a far right organisation but you do appear to have a number of under-examined cultural prejudices that could perhaps bear a little more examination before you hit send. Rather than realising and apologising after the fact, as usually happens.

no defending gfoty rly and the calling out itself was fine. the attacks on the music of pc music were irritating as shit and completely tangential to the necessary calling-out. bringing it up now was probably a dick move but seeing lotic described as the future of music based on their playing rae sremmurd in their dj sets is sufficient provocation? idk. pick my battles better I guess

anyway, when it's 2019 and I'm describing Lotic as the saviour of electronic music we'll all look back at this and laugh

"future of music" is pushing it. Hearing modern pop brush up against these ~avant-garde~ club sounds and make sense in the context is all I was getting at in the thread that seemed to have the most prior mentions of Lotic.

I mean I can hear these pop songs in any high street club and I can rummage on the Funkysouls UK Funky thread for this grime/ballroom/dancehall hybrid stuff but to hear the differences between them reduced to almost nothing was the exciting part for me
