    Reynolds hardcore continuum event

    Why did you put classical music in quotes? In the classical scene, performance is important insofar that it either fulfills the promise of or brings new light to the written tonal structures. So, yes, it returns to a certain rational understanding of how sounds in music can be analyzed. Glenn...

    Reynolds hardcore continuum event

    Classical music is weird in that it gives so much privilege to the written form, as if notes were data whose artistic value could be quantified. This makes most sense in a scene where everyone else is writing their music, too. But in the same way that an actual performance of written music...

    kano - new album 'london town'

    Kano has a great hip-hop flow IMO, but it really is such a shame that he doesn't do more fast songs. i thought he sounded utterly alien on "Boys Love Girls" and was so excited to hear more of that type of flow from him. are the Movement's Dipset-esque 135-145 tracks grime?

    Grime as therapy

    i feel exactly the same way. put on an old N.A.S.T.Y Deja set the other morning and it made me deeply happy (much to my surprise). it's all about "putting the work in", that's exactly the vibe i get from almost all grime, and the fact that its power and energy comes through in even the...

    Modern d'n'b is rubbish - tune ID and a moan from an old man

    these threads seem to come up every other year or so and every single time, a number of artists, labels, and tracks are mentioned (usually in the same breath) while the moaners still expect someone to provide them with some flawless pomegranate that will instantly transport them to the...

    Modern d'n'b is rubbish - tune ID and a moan from an old man

    it really is no different now. while it's true that good jungle today is 4 parts genius to 1 part scenius, the fact is that there IS a scene--albeit tiny, and spread quite thin across the globe--in which real drum & bass music is made, played out, and enjoyed, with major-league "drum & bass"...

    GRIME- breaking news, gossip, slander, lies etc

    i think it's also difficult for most people to separate grime completely from hip-hop simply because it's rap lyrics in English, and American hip-hop has been the source of that for 5x as long as grime. if crunk can be considered as both specifically "crunk" and fundamentally hip-hop, then i...

    Skream

    link! i doubt the use of the preset in 2D would matter as much if it were anything other than a melodic element. people are really touchy about melody. but it seems like the actual melody in 2D is less important to the track's impact than the way the preset sample carves out a new rhythmic...
