"this has been a bad year for music" / "no one is making good music" = "i am not seriously trying to find good music"forever and ever amen

it's especially galling from someone whose job is partly to find the music that's not getting enough attention and bring it to people's notice

most techno producers are so insecure that they need to cut the rope on the bridge to authenticity island as often as possible. if you can tie yourself on to jazz while doing so, all the better.

the other thing that's funny about this is seeing someone post it on facebook, like a producer, and all the comments were just one dance producer after another with long sad screeds about how music is just more trance-based and lacks soul and is just churned out etc etc. and half of these producers, that's how close to how i personally feel about their music - if not in the exact same words in a shorter more rude word. this kind of hero-narrative grousing about nebulous bad music while simultaneously failing to define it, call anyone out, or really paint any picture of its dominance is as normal for a techno producer as breathing.

i mean "half those producers, that's close to how i feel about their music"
tbh I finally read the referred-to Levon Vincent interview and he seems like a dude I would very much enjoy live and would find completely uninteresting to read in more interviews
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 22 September 2015 18:21 (eight years ago) link
really, he was reacting to a mix of his being almost all music from his label, as far as I can tell. instead of just being proud of the music he's helped release it turned into some tangent about music he likes isn't very easy to find. so uh, maybe he likes lots of music but didn't want to admit he'd rather pull from his own roster

Heh, my Facebook is 1/2 bitter jazz musicians being self-righteous about how techno/rap/etc is not real music, and 1/2 DJs being self-righteous about not taking requests and disco authenticity.

this phenom is one of those things that is 100% not real but if you challenge it irl you look like a dick because it turns out it's only about social formation and no one actually cares that it is 100% not real.

Jackmaster actually recently had a mini-Twitter beef with DJ Sneak over his name. I have a lot of respect for the guy, he knows his shit and IMHO is one of the best DJs around now for kickstarting a party without compromising his unique style. Ventures into retro-disco territory may occasionally be misguided though. (Not that I have a problem with retro disco in the right context.)
― viborg, Thursday, 1 October 2015 04:56 (eight years ago) link
Always entertaining to hear him talk shit on the rare occasions when he's on Rinse these days too. Pretty sure 97.4% of what he says is taking the piss.
