hi.💙
thank you to nick and bj and donna and everyone who posts in here. i lurk frequently and sometimes feel like a spongey poseur type for just taking all this wisdom and smiling to myself for hours on end. threads like this are a public service and we are indebted. this is me bowing down.
i wanted to make a post with some sidebar relevance to the main theme here. am sorry if this is not a good place for this post. please redirect if so.
lately, we've been digging into what i would relate as a kind of contemporary equivalent to the main topic of discussion here... kind of dub/step beats with r+b vocals. i am a novice when it comes to this stuff, but i wanted to share some examples of what i'm referring to (because i may not even be using these terms and labels correctly; again- novice). here's some big favorites recently—
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naB3CgNpGdIvon d+phephe — "show me" (2009 — i think?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIRzAWk8nwAgeoim feat. marita — "reminissin'" (2008)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJPdQaX7Xswandreya triana — "a town called obsolete (mount kimbie remix)" (2010)
i stumbled onto these just by wandering around playlists and threads like this but i can't get enough lately. is there a compilation or something where i have more? please?

(bit more recent, bit more housey)
― blazin' squab (NickB), Saturday, 25 November 2023 18:21 (six months ago) link
nope, don't know this! it's kind of... acid-y??!?! very cool stuff. thank you!
that andreya triana mount kimbie rmx is the prototype i'm looking for right now; lowkey wonky beats and pensive crooning. fuck yeah.

quite a strong freestyle influence there, sweet tune

bit of pricey one though :(

Ruf Dug has taken the gig of being Roisin Murphy's 2024 EU tour DJ :/

yeah i saw that, very disappointing ruffy mate
― blazin' squab (NickB), Thursday, 8 February 2024 08:14 (three months ago) link
Doesn’t surprise me. Is Ruff Dug on the street soul bandwagon now?

How have I never seen this thread before?!? I'm utterly unfamiliar with this genre but I'm completely obsessed with this era of pop music (been contemplating a thread dedicated to the hundreds of freestyle and freestyle-inspired songs churned out over this handful of years) and this is like a huge missing chunk that I didn't even realize was missing. Gonna need some time to properly digest.

I only know her from the vocal she did on 'Witching Hour' which is upthread a few tunes ago. Hadn't thought there might be other stuff so thanks for that!
