For what it's worth the Sasha CD free with Mixmag a few weeks ago had two Scuba bits on it.

Xpander, btw. big difference.

y'guys got hang ups. man's been playing big rooms so let him fill them up if he wants. TBH, I can dig this perspective and vibe. Appropriate amount of self-consciousness with an obviously talented touch. Heavy handed? sure. but, it's 2012 and I can take it like a man.

 

[jimitheexploder]

I did have a soft spot for this at one point way back...


in other proggy electro breaks news these were alright too



Really not in the mood for it these days, I'm happy to leave that behind over a decade ago.

Loss and Adrenaline where fun from Scuba mainly cos of that nice housey bassline.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Mount Kimberly / James Blake etc etc are all going in this general direction aren't they?

Ignition sounds kinda like what's considered to be "Indie" these days (80s, cheese, sunglasses, big hair). Anyone else ssensing some new gravitational shift towards this...?

 

[joe.dfx]

how is any of this surprising?

this is the direction he's been heading for a loooong time imo.

i like it. i wouldn't play a whole set of it, but it's better peak hour shit then most of the tech/trance that get's played these days.

at least he's trying something new to him and not sticking with whatever is clever atm.

he certainly isn't trying to mess with ukfunky or "post-dubstep" nonsense or the electro swamp81 sound (which is really getting old imo.)

 

[Local Authority]

When I went to the album showcase I sniffed loads of coke and made a tit of myself.

That's the only way to go about listening to this album.

 

[Joey Joe-Joe Jr. Shabadoo]

you can try and dress it up how you like, but it really is a load of shit, and you know it

 

[e/y]

generally really dull, even more so than previous SCB tech house bollocks.

that's like admitting defeat isn't it really, 'it's pretty awful but it's better than really awful so we should be thankful'

+1

 

[estring]

so bad that I had to register to voice my displeasure. horrid, horrid garbage

 

[rrrivero]

I'm so glad there's a place like dissensus where SCB is regarded as merely tech house bollocks (which it is)

 

[Webstarr]

The reactions to this album are very opposed, people either are all over it or absolutely detest it

that's odd as the music's chief sin is to be so incredibly middle of the road.

Maybe it's the difference between

a) self-defining dance music 'aesthetes' who are for whatever reason willing enough to follow scoobs and take that one last incremental step into the wilderness of bland bollocks, and

b) self-defining dance music 'aesthetes' who sense the trap just before it's sprung and violently repress the strange magnetism they feel towards such tracks as 'Gekko' and 'Ignition Key', throwing up their defences and disingenuously branding it 'bland bollocks'

 

[joe.dfx]

that's like admitting defeat isn't it really, 'it's pretty awful but it's better than really awful so we should be thankful'

kinda.

; )

i still like it though (mind you i'm only really talking about the lp single and stuff he's put out over the last 6 months, i haven't listened to album proper yet, so maybe it is bad)

i tend to like his sound pallete & production quite a bit so maybe that makes up for it, plus i don't listen to loads of tech house outside of clubs so hearing this sounds fresher to me then maybe some others.

 

[Roshman]

wtf is tech house?

Objekt described it to me (whilst drunk and on twitter)

"it's like the centre of a venn diagram of everything that's mundane about both house and techno"

 

[SecondLine]

wtf is tech house?

hah ignorance is bliss in this case, nurture it

 

[outraygeous]

Im just glad im not big in music. My shit music creating abilities, boringness and views against women would probably have me in the same ranking as The Pirate Bay right now.
