    Shuffling / House Music / Cutting Shapes

    No idea about Madhouse, but the Made You Look remix is apparently coming in the next couple weeks, on Audio Rehab's 43rd release with Rhiaz Dhanani's remix of La Coca and Nightshift's remix of Shay & Sinista.

    Come on now, this is exactly what I tried to say earlier in the thread... It's just like when people said UK funky were just Dj Gregory rip-offs or that Scorn invented dubstep in the 90's, missing the forest cause there's a tree in front of you. Yeah, there's some slight resemblance in the use...

    Shuffling / House Music / Cutting Shapes

    Not gonna talk for everyone else, but at least what I was talking about was that attitude of "it's just more house"/"it's been in Europe for years"/"It's like a generation missed house music", regardless of the comments referring to the stuff this thread is about or otherwise. That smug thinking...

    It's just more of the old man attitude "I already know all there is to know about house", therefore paying vague attention to it and assuming it all sounds the same, isn't it? I get that it's nothing as clearly defined as jungle and dubstep, where they switched up the tempo and made a point of...

    By the way, since I'm here, I'd urge everybody to have a listen to the guest mix Tazer's done for my show a couple of weeks back, an hour full of his new tunes :D (around 50 minutes in on this soundcloud link): http://soundcloud.com/david_m/david-m-on-sub-fm-with-tazer-guest-mix-25-07-2014

    I don't think misrepresentation of something is better than no representation at all. And I don't think Hyperdub was ever interested in picturing what UK funky was as a movement, it was probably more about about taking a couple of artists from that movement and get them to do something that fit...

    Best DJs You've Seen Lately/Ever Seen

    I haven't seen him live in ages, and admittedly I haven't tuned into his show in a while, but his Kiss FM show used to be loaded with fresh and (to me) exciting new UK garage and bassline-ish beats that I wouldn't have heard anywhere else otherwise. Mixed with his usual craft and often one or...

    Nice, I hadn't seen that. I'm well up for a crossover between the G house sound of labels like CUFF and Sleazy G and the UK stuff :)

    Shuffling / House Music / Cutting Shapes

    Really feelin AndMe. & Bastian's latest tunes, they usually nail that middle ground between deep/techy and swung/garagey. In addition to Badd Bassline they have an awesome release coming out on One Fold, and another equally fantastic one on Karl 'Tuff Enuff' Brown's Solo Music label. Also, nice...

    Shay and Sinista just did a fantastic mix for local radio show Pub Pelukas: www.mixcloud.com/woodhands/pub-pelukas-vol48-shay-sinista/ Includes this McNeat-sampling anthem that's coming out later this month to Plus Recordings...

    Oh yeh definitely, a good balance is where it's at, sure. Hard to get too excited about 8 bar mixes either.

    Yeah dynamics has always been the one most important thing about a dj set, even more than beatmatching. I'd rather have a dj clang every 3 tunes but get the build/release aspect of the set correctly (a la Jeff Mills) than a tight dj that's just embarassing himself with no sense of flow. And...

    There's not a big difference in tempo between this sort of stuff and the jackin lot. Mark Radford, Carnao, Arun Verone and those guys usually play their sets at around 122-125 BPM, while Lorenzo, Shorterz and even Low Steppa's sets usually go like 123 to 127. There's enough jackin and garagey...

    Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but this Hugo Massien tune is a banger http://soundcloud.com/hugomassien/nightshift-made-you-look-hugo

    really? "unimaginative polished speed garage" is not the way I'd describe Low Steppa's tunes at all. Not sure if it's still residue from the 'future garage' thing that makes you think all garagey sounding new music is a retread or something, but he's made some great tunes in the past year. They...

    Funky/London/UK House

    Yeah it's a bit sad that it's already considered a thing far in the past when it seems like it was not long ago that it was even starting to be a thing. Just seen on Naughty's facebook that in a couple of weeks it will be 7 years since he released 'Quicktime'. Time really does fly.

    But then again so were garage house and funky house werent they? and it didn't stop people in the UK to come up with their own version. Not saying it's necessarily equal to what's happening right now, but that aversion to house and that need to force something groundbreaking new is not a good...

    Shuffling / House Music / Cutting Shapes

    Well with Jackin it can get really tedious too, in the sense that's very easy to get stuck in the intro/breakdown/drop/32-bar-mix/another-breakdown/another-drop/another-32-bar-mix/rise-and-repeat dynamic. Which is the most annoying thing for me. It's true that the other stuff can sometimes get...
