the juke/bmore/bloghouse frankenstein dance music they play at clubs

I don't have a radio in my car and I don't listen to one at work.

Don't spend much time at stores, so I'm almost completely insulated from pop.

Except for remixes.

my main problem with this kind of music

fitted caps or los angeles celbculture influence

Aoki does bring out a snarl from me, he and all of the Roxy Cottontail set.

Makes me remember why I hated Vice for so long.

If we're hating on white kids making shitty Baltimore tracks, well I can't really hate. At least they've got some enthusiasm, as opposed to this smug cokehead vibe I get off the LA people.

i actually don't know what this thread is about anymore

enthusiastic white kids with laptops and headphones

also the ipod earbud and 192k VBR as the be-all end-all of sound, do we already have a thread on that?

lets pretend that we do

see but its not just white kids -- thats more what this thread is about. equal opportunity to be shitty

If I have some audio technica ad700 and many mp3s ripped at 320k, though guilty of being a white girl with a laptop, am I still killing music?

This thread leaves me very concerned.

i dont know what song are u playing

some bloghouse and madonna

honest question: is a track like "Bulbs Burn Out" by Boy 8-b1t an example of this genre? Cuz I have kind of a sense that this track was made witha "whatever works" attitude that doesn't hold out any residual auteurism (or Autechrism, to be cheeky)- it's just got rave stabs and a bmore break and is cheap and cheerful . . . is that what is bugging people on this thread?

sorry, no link to track- but check the Boy 8-Bit myspace or something . . .

how do curses and all the trouble & bass stuff fit into this? i really like those guys

xpost, is this dude of the sort being diss-cussed here: http://www.myspace.com/boy8bit

I've noticed that walrus gif matchs almost perfectly when set to this song:

I know Curses have shared a bill with Crookers in the past, probably somewhere in London.

I'd say its an affiliate sound at the very least.

Starkey makes stuff that could be mixed with some slightly pitched up MSTRKRFT or whatever, they seem to make a lot of beats in the low to mid 130 BPM range.

And obviously the Night Slugs are somewhere around this vibe as well, though they play mostly funky and bassline mixed with dubstep these days.

Basically if you've spent any significant time on the Hollerboard, you're probably part of this (possibly without even consciously knowing it).

in the clear over here

i wanna dj a party sometime but all i have is a laptop and disco traks i crib from jaxon, am i one of these dudes

disco traxx from jaxon = safe

although -- do u have a loft in downtown sf

no, but i aspire to!

or is that bad

i have an apt with a hottub in mpls

nah thats for the disco/beardo/balaeric dance music they play in lounges

just tell chicks about your acting resume and go straight to the hottub

"why yes, i am a climber-- we should go back to my place and climb into my hot tub while i tell you about it."

Anyone heard the Moves!!! release on Dress 2 Sweat?

This is like you took Vice Records and Diplo and forced them to have many inbred babies.

Grime + Electrohouse + Baltimore = Good Enough For Me

HOW DO YOU GUYS CLASSIFY THESE GUYS

Bassline house = 140 BPM+

Bloghouse = 125-135 BPM

Could be difficult to mix, but like I said the Night Slugs used to do it.

At this point even a Geir post would be welcome

i think geir would like 'day and night'

And I'm out.

gbx, bassline != frankenstein

yeah i don't know what the hell is going on

bassline is northern english 140 BPM rigid beat, wobbly synthbass stuff

frankenstein seems to be an (at least mostly) american phenomenon with post-electrohouse synths and bits of baltimore/juke style syncopation in the beats

that's how I break it down to an extent

I am exclusively referring to this subgenre as "frankenstein" from now on

frankmore breaks

frank & beats

how do curses and all the trouble & bass stuff fit into this? i really like those guys

totally

this song kills

frank what did you do to my beats

Trouble & Bass - Drop the Lime / Math Head / + crew

^^^^ my conflicted "lol bloghouse but this is actually good' thread

i saw drop the lime live -- it was one of the most terrible things i ever experienced

way worse than the nights i talked about earlier in this thread - i found it v unlistenable

!!

never seen him live. I like the tracks/mixes I've heard

frank dat

saw trouble & lime (well, specifically curses) live opening for lolmoby in NY and it was super rad. he sang along to his tracks. moby was amazing too. all original rave tracks.
