http://www.factmag.com/2010/12/09/stream-juke-lynchpin-dj-rashads-new-album-just-a-taste/

In the spirit of the thread, new Rashad album up for streaming.

i was kinda hoping to be able to read "deej reacts to dubstep" over my lunch break. maybe that should be a separate thread?

lol no i like it in this one

i didnt get a chance to listen last nite

i really want to know what you think of martyn, 2562, shed and other detroit techno dubsteppers

prolly not much but still, bid for blab and all that.

come on deej

I've not been on the boards long enough to know what a deej is or why we want to feed him dubstep in a juke thread but I'm guessing he's American and loves hip-hop dispite its many cliche's in 2010 and we wanna win him over with some killer UK material! I'm all up for that kind of fun and games. Have some Guido...

i love 'wut' so much and feel bad for the snarky 'uk diplo' post. it's a valid comparison in relation to the b-more thing but until bok bok appears in a cunty blackberry ad i'll withhold judgement.

back on topic: i tried to listen to the dj nate album on the bus and it made me feel a bit ill. the rhythms didn't add up! #gettingold

gonna get into this stuff this weekend

I would just like to point out that that DJ Rashad album I posted upthread is absolutely A++ high quality.

"the rhythms didn't add up"

i feel like this sometimes. its also weird hearing these hard stuttering beats with a romantic vocal sample on top of it. the moods dont fit.

The last Rashad record is immense, I'm addicted to the Gil Scott Heron 'Home Is Where The Hatred Is' sampling/remixing 'I'm Gone' at the moment, the bass is ridic.

The DJ Spinn 12" that just came out on Planet Mu is seriously good.

I just saw this vid today too lol

^yeah it's great

not that it's more than like 25% a juke record but did you get the Murderbot album yet...? I'm p sure I like it on some level, it just might need a few more listens before I figure out how superficial of one

I've not heard the record yet no, I've never been that into Murderbot but I dig the track in the video so I'll have to check it out at some point.

I didn't really like the way Rashad flips his samples, sounds lazy - like on the Grace release, the way he uses Roy Ayers - You Send Me. You can't really lose with a sample like that anyway, I mean - we're talking 24 carat gold, but Rashad doesn't really add much. Then again, what it does do is make a Roy Ayers track footwork-able, it's about function?

I'm just looking forward to an RP Boo release.

not strictly footwork but worth a listen.

i just picked up 15 early house/rave 12"s from murderbot on discogs.

yeah i cant decide how i feel about the rashad ghettophiles albums either. its cool to hear those samples in a footwork setting, cos that by default makes it diff/fresh than if it was just some hip hop producer looping them up for the millionth time, but imo he doesnt really do enough to them to make them feel totally integrated into the beat. it feels weird, like the samples running normally then the beat comes into take it off course. after a while you get used to it but im still not totally into the juke tracks that sample old soul/funk songs so liberally. sometimes it just sounds awkward too! like that dj spinn ep on planet mu, i think he samples a stevie song, and it just sounds weird to hear that kind of material made into footwork lol.

although... seeing kids dancing to some of those tracks and hearing it as they would on a big system in a big hall kinda changed my mind a bit.

dont get this. surely if someone remixed an old house or techno tune or even garage tune into a textbook (which is what these tracks are) footwork track you could come to the same conclusion.

theres something a bit 'dated' i think about the chrissy murderbot album. i know hes drawing on a lot of old stuff he loved, so the references are all very clear, but it just feels a bit hollertronix-y. its fun though, i keep singing the vibe is so right. had hoped for more stuff as classy as bussin down though.

not chicago but any of u been feelin this juke- related release?

bunch of my friends who are into that sort of thing are going pretty nuts about it & tho it's not 100% my kind of thing usually its undeniably really creative and adventurous. so many beats so much going on so much to play with

I haven't had time to give it a good listen but i like what i've heard. The Alarma EP he just put out on LuckyMe is pretty fun though. It's got a remix of "Love King" on it.

who gives a shit about boring IDM-ified juke

ok im being cruel, its not shit

but it is a bit boring

why listen to machinedrum when dj diamond has an album on planet mu coming

Well clearly Planet Mu think they both have their merits

seriously, no, its cool that both those things are on the same label

and machine drum isnt crap

it just seemed a bit muzaky to me when i heard it on the labels website is all

not feeling this. the chrissy murderbot record, on the other hand, is really fun.

the chrissy record is cool and sort of lodged itself in my head more than i expected it to but its a bit too lightweight and well, silly, though maybe thats just cos it was going for such an early 90sish vibe, idk. bit all over the place.

it is very silly.

it's weird, these machinedrum tracks sound as sterile as i remember his '04 glitch-hop stuff sounding, but the sepalcure records are really lush. must be due to the other guy.

will investigate dj diamond & chrissy murderbot albumes

chrissy murderbot album is good though if you're going to get anything with that vibe you may as well go for toddla t.

was gonna listen to the machinedrum but i think i lost my promo :/

all juke is pretty "idm" 2 me

really like the last song, maybe the least footwork-ey though?

some parts of the murderbot album are good silly and some parts are bad silly

reverend otm

the bad silly parts remind me of (bad/old) diplo

sterile is a good way to describe machinedrum

that Machinedrum record isn't rly 'IDMified' in any meaningful way imo, other than what's obviously gonna be projected onto it considering what he spent most of the last decade making

I think it's good, sometimes, v good, on a basic level but it does essentially feel (to me) that he wrote a laundry list of dance genres he was feeling and then had a go at making them

need to listen to DJ Diamond more but I'm fairly sure I prefer it to Machinedrum, all that said

diamonds album is>>>

however i now think the murderbot album is one of those albums thats trying so hard to be FUN that it actually isnt as much fun as it wants to be

Enjoying the DJ Diamond album, sounds fairly straight down the line Juke, but very well done. Anyone else?

feel like there's some cool detroit techno sounding synths on "flight muzik" that lift it above the rest imo

machinedrum sort of a simultaneous update on both squarepusher and burial

sorry for the redundant "both"

love this set, esp the first three tracks and the steve reich sandwich: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/41502

Who, outside of the Chicago DJs, is making footwork music ATM? I can only really think of Africa Hitech and Sully. Must be others? I'm not too up with this kind of stuff, but it interests me.

some uk producers have done stuff influenced by it but im struggling with examples

I just realised this Sully album I've been caning for the last couple of weeks was actually produced by an old mate I used to hang with a few years ago. Quite rare for the North Herts area...

machinedrum, this guy munchi, nguzunguzu, addison groove, etc

addison groove!!
