    Can't Mix Won't Mix

    It's my first ever mix for years as I just got Virtual DJ. It's a bit rough around the edges as was my first ever take using the software, and I did it all using a mouse.

    Adam Phillips

    Sorry if there's already a thread, but been catching up with this man. I like listening to him speak, but haven't read much if any of his work. Where is good to start? He's a good orator. The Paul Holdengraber interview is a good watch. Seems to make astute psychological observations, without...

    Larry Levan

    What's the crack with Larry Levan? I've heard some of his remixes like Peanut Butter and First Time Around and think they're fire. Whenever I'm looking for something to listen to I type in Larry Levan in YouTube and it throws up loads of nice beats to listen, but I haven't listened to many of...

    Boiler Room

    Don't really like Boiler Room myself. Something lost from it all being on video and people 'filming' on their phone taking selfies, but there's so many of them it's hard to ignore. What are the best ones? I've been watching Intergalactic Gary and it blows my socks off, no way could I tracklist them.

    Black Water / To Be In Love / Jaguar

    Another pointless poll, but I like these three tunes and can't think of another one to add to the poll, and someone might be able to make a good comment!

    Drum and Bass in 2000s

    Anyone like it and if so what are your favourite tunes post y2k? I feel it has been forgotten about and either written off as no good in the first place or cancelled?

    Italo

    Sorry if there's already a thread. I don't think there is. What's the best obscure italo? There's loads of course but many of the best ones are a bit obvious now, if I'm right.

    Dance Scenes in Films

    I was thinking of a particular scene from this French film I saw a while ago called Nocturama about a teenage terrorist cell where they dance to electronic music but it's not on YouTube. It reminded me of other dance scenes in films. Which ones do you like?

    The best Basslines

    There's another thread about the heaviest basslines but what are the best basslines? I've been talking about it elsewhere and need some inspiration as I haven't been able to come up with that many.

    Michael Mann Wave

    There's some decent songs in Michael Mann films, not just the Tangerine Dream soundtracks but assorted 80s stuff. I found the band Shriekback today, but then it dawned on me, there's loads of stuff like that from the 80s. You just have to think of a term and put 'wave' after it on YouTube and it...

    Sundissential?

    I never went though there were the same people who went to techno or goth places in Birmingham that did. Anyone on here go? If so what were the big tunes? Or Hard House in general?

    Films you haven't seen yet...

    ... because you think you'll only mildly enjoy them? I'm about halfway through Papillon and it's alright so far but only just. Then I have Cool Hand Luke lined up to watch with my sister but not exactly enthralled by the trailer.

    Rare groove

    Now that everything is on YouTube, and one of the criteria to be Rare Groove is that it's hard to source, does it still exist?

    Joseph L. Mankiewicz

    Why is he such a famed screenwriter? I've seen Somewhere in the Night recently and that gives me a clue, but haven't seen anything else for years so can't remember!

    Spring 25

    I've done a few lists before that have never really worked out. That's not to say this one won't fail either, but it's worth a try? To try and save a wall of YouTube I'll try and write something about each track. I call it a spring 25, but that's only because the month of spring is on us, not...

    Is disco cancelled?

    Funk got cancelled but what about disco? Here's 10 or so from me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUAjlpgfNIc Sorry if there's already a disco thread.

    Riots

    Ever been involved in a Riot? I have only ever witnessed one. Handsworth 2005. I was holed up in my mate Harnaik's (RIP to cancer age mid 30s) house with a big Staffy/Labrador cross dog. Saw a few cars get torched.

    Ambient Techno

    The less beats the better? Anyone got any tunes to recommend? You will have heard all these before but for me it's one of the best kinds of ambient music, still with a wide eyed 7am feel.

    Dolphin sounds

    Just been listening to this CC Classic. I thought, that's good! It sounds like a dolphin, kind of. Then I thought about other tunes that have dolphin type sounds. I won't mention the Burial effort, but there's always Aquarius - The Dolphin Tune, but I think a couple of Seba efforts like...

    Cars

    What's the most 'rude boy' car you've owned or driven? I was chatting about it elsewhere when an overpriced Cosworth came up for sale. I said Cosworths, Imprezas, Lancers, Novas, Renault 5s were all rude cars when I was a kid. My Mk2 MR2 cost less then 3k. Sold it to a kid in Derby and within a...
