chicago juke: dj nate, dj rashad [R.I.P. 2014], leatherface aka kaptain cadillac, dj roc &c &c

I started a thread on it

http://boomkat.com/downloads/585804-dj-spinn-teklife-vol-2-what-you-need

this thread should have its title amended to incorporate footwork really.

I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife/I'm so Teklife

^in my head most days

Haven't given the Spinn album a listen to yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be a bit back-to-basics compared to the huge leaps made by Rashad and especially Young Smoke this year. I can't say I was hugely floored by Traxman's album - did you guys like it?

i'm curious to hear if/how much rashad stretches out on the hyperdub ep.

had this remix come out last week, the whole ep is one some 160 bpm craziness:

this traxman remix of trans europe express is pretty hilarious

Rashad's Rollin' EP is AMAZING; "Let it Go" is obv one of the best tracks of the year so far.

It is really really good indeed

huh?

i know it's doing the rounds but it's only noteworthy in so far as it's gross & horrible. i don't really want to see threads providing voyeuristic documention of random awful shit happening to artists

yeah lets just pretend it didnt happen

man that sucks, can we have some non-shitty news on here? :(

lots of irrelevant non-musical stuff happens to artists. lots of ppl are robbed, the story is that it's a video & the grossness is that it's been done with/for a huge online audience. you post it because ppl are posting it, but it's also participating in that grossness. the pretense is in pretending we need to see it, that there's some journalistic value to watching a kid get beaten up.

i'd say there's some journalistic value in recognizing the the place a lot of the kids come from that we troll for Content(R) from the comfort of our computer screens is pretty awful.

23-year-old kid DJ Nate

recognise it by taking part in it? i don't think most of the ppl spreading this on twitter have any salutary intent. they're participating in a violent, public humiliation. not sure this points to anything special about parts of chicago so much as the oh-so comfortable internet.

if i saw that hundreds of ppl were circulating a video of famous blogger & ilx personality d-40 getting pasted, i wld not bump the is deej a hipster? thread w/ it. "i know we enjoy deej's Content(R), but i feel only when you have watched this video of his bleeding face will you be free from complicity in cultural tourism. peace." ofc you'd be free to come and tell me i had my head in the sand blah blah blah

who's asking anyone to leer at it? I'm simply presenting information that you can elect to respond to. The one response that i find corny & irresponsible is "we should pretend this doesn't exist"

"how dare you disrupt the decorum of the juke thread"

*one response, not the one response

also i am quite positive that if this did happen, it would definitely be posted on ilx

prob on excelsior

i'm sure there'd be a point at which you'd decide a video was too gross to post on here, i think this is already over the line. no one's pretending it doesn't exist any more than they are w/ sex tapes or nude pics that we refrain from posting here.

well no one had discussed it to that point.
