yea no idea where this gay stuff came from I'm talking about the djs who play that specific night. Sound quality issues probably comes from guys like sebastian and kavinsky who use cdjs and trainwreck and throw half the eqs to ten and the other half to zero instead of properly mixing

gayness is natural is comes from everywhere like water or the air

The weird thing regarding bad mixing is that this stuff really isn't that hard to mix.
Its just big obvious riffs half the time, its nowhere near as touchy as even mixing good deep house or disco can be. Maybe its just years of being a metalhead (and being into industrial and EBM in my teens) that makes it easier for me, mixing Funky drives me crazy.

i have no idea whether the dj at this night im thinking of doesnt beatmatch because he cant or just wont
― W i l l, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:11 (fifteen years ago) link
i should ask via the txt request hotline
its not really about the beatmatching per se imo -- too many djs get so focused on that they forget to pay attention to the vibe of the roomnot that its not important, trainwrecks are bad obv
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:12 (fifteen years ago) link
you are opinionated .. some people dont like beat matching and what it has done to people .... the grey dark woods has answers .
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:14 (fifteen years ago) link
nah its not that i just think blaming it on 'djs who dont beatmatch well' or how the bar has been lowered for entry misses the point im trying to make in this thread
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:16 (fifteen years ago) link
or rather the point im trying to discuss in this thread - im not really sure what point im trying to make
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:17 (fifteen years ago) link
the point is to get chix to make out w/each other - that is why people dj
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:18 (fifteen years ago) link
exactly -- what i dont understand is why this shit makes anyone want to make out. i think maybe its that ppl dislike it so much they decide to get drunk which leads to more making out
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:19 (fifteen years ago) link
now were cooking w/fire!!

My issues with Justice style riff music are basically along the lines of over-compression makes for a lack of dynamic range. The music is loud but also very flat sounding, even though tracks like Digitalism's Jupiter Room can be very impressive when played out.
I keep finding myself wanting to mix in Border Community artists, people like Ricardo Tobar. I can't handle the flatness of everything. My issues with fidget mostly revolve around the occasionally just stupid attempts at humour.
I don't play Club music because I'm not from Baltimore, don't play Juke because I'm not from Chicago.
I'm certain I'd just come off as clueless Midwestern white kid who knows nothing about the music.
Now I go find myself alchohol.
― Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:24 (fifteen years ago) link
im drinking a whiskey
― :) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:25 (fifteen years ago) link
yr prob not a clueless midwesterner because i am not detecting a can do spirit xp

yah beatmatching isnt the sine qua non of dance music, im not saying that, just personal taste, i like not to have to cease moving between tracks. or should i say songs. for me what it maybe comes down to is this rock or dance music, lame binary i know, and not what this thread is supposed to be about im surexpost
― W i l l, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:26 (fifteen years ago) link
i think i hav some whiskey but really i want a beer
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:27 (fifteen years ago) link

― :) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:27 (fifteen years ago) link

i might get some beer then do more work then tomorrow i will buy an iphone
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link
and maybe party
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:29 (fifteen years ago) link
its a iphone celebration yall
I'm drinking Bulleitt mixed with vanilla cream soda, its tasty.
This is both rock and dance, I'm kind of split between thinking of it as deep electroclash (joke) or Heavy NRG.

thats mostly a good thing but i thought maybe ppl would have some insights here
yeah until tim or vahid shows up all youre gonna get is shenanagins and a <shrug emoticon>
― :) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:35 (fifteen years ago) link
Tim would be pretty ehh about the idea of Heavy NRG, I'm thinking.
My guess is that a lot of this music is of the use once and destroy variety.
But people really never expected anyone to care about disco 30 years later, so who knows?
― Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:37 (fifteen years ago) link
every time ppl talk about how 'disposable' this stuff is i get all http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/1c/83/e3fe024128a0a540eed10110._AA240_.L.jpg
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:38 (fifteen years ago) link
im open to the idea that some of this music is real good but its the DJs who are shitty
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:39 (fifteen years ago) link
even though tracks like Digitalism's Jupiter Room can be very impressive when played out
this is a fuckin jam
and half the stuff on that chart you posted is good
huge difference between that and the people that trainwreck Young Jeezy into Please Mr Postman Bmore Version imo
― dmr, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:40 (fifteen years ago) link
It does really remind me of electroclash circa 2002 and electrohouse circa 2004, and a lot of the French stuff is obviously heavily influenced by Braxe, Bangalter and Co., but I'm not saying its all disposable.
I think Joakim's music is pretty obviously a labor of love, and it shows.
― Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:42 (fifteen years ago) link
gr8080 is playing me some traxx that sound dope but also sound like they hew a lot closer to classic chicago disco-house like CZR or paul johnson or somebody -- with maybe a bit of a more glitchy beat, sorta derrick carter ish -- i enjoy the skippier/glitchier rhythm aspect
but this doesnt feel really radical or anything
― deej, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:44 (fifteen years ago) link
I think fidget mostly exists as a DJ tool, for moving in between genres.
― Siah Alan, Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:45 (fifteen years ago) link
see to me that sounds more like this (czr rmx of bob sinclair)

the only time i ever really felt weird about dancing to this was after the chromeo show when flosstradamus was djing and they dropped dead prez's 'hip-hop' and all of my bougie white self-loathing and self-consciousness abt race rose to the surface as every dude in the 80% white audience started chanting along to 'white folx say it controls your brain'
― :) Mrs Edward Cullen XD (max), Thursday, 4 December 2008 01:47 (fifteen years ago) link
haha i can 1-up you on that one -- i saw dead prez @ intonation fest and they had fred hampton jr come up on stage

you know probably these questions only even arise cause dance music has by far the highest aspie ceiling - once that dawned internet all bets were off - in fact im not sure any of this shit even exists irl
