Can You Feel It vs. The Final Frontier

[Benny Bunter]

these tunes are top offerings of very different things so its an impossible distinction. I voted Mr fingers because of the Amnesia collection. Will I be bullied for saying I dont like most of his music after 1989?

Definitely agree, Amnesia is all you need really. Washing machine, mystery of love... Isn't all the later stuff deep house snooze?

I did watch that video for some reason one time... probably cos you shared it. I don't think Vincent had seen it though

This is a proper time capsule too,

Never seen that before. Blokey looking crowd. Garage for blokes.

I think that's Sarah from Rinse in the middle of the crowd at 16:00.

Alleviated has a bit of snooze but as a label its impact was majestic, when it comes to certain cities there are so many good releases, everyone can pick over the bones and distinctions become narratIve, we’re spoiled overall

Larry Heard’s mix archive up until a few years ago on the old dhp forum was consistently inspiring and that’s rare as hen’s teeth in a perverted medium

It'd be interesting to see footage of pre UK Funky funky house and even rnb raves in London from around that time and maybe a bit later. Between grime and dubstep it was an incredibly blokey time for London music wasn't it?

I imagine music in London at that time was much bigger than just grime and dubstep though.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Yeah, that's what I meant really. The more mainstream populist stuff tends to get swept under the carpet. Easy to forget that grime and dubstep were tiny little scenes in the great scheme of things, for a time anyway.

Is that the consensus though or is it just because that stuff's this forum's niche and we can't quite see outside our bubble?

 

[Benny Bunter]

I remember Luka saying on here that Petchy had already sold all his grime records to buy house by about 2004

 

[WashYourHands]

Never More Lonely, whoozy almost-theremin

Well grime and dubstep both went on to huge commercial success eventually, albeit in bastardised, populist forms. But yeah it is probably a lot to do with this forums bias too. That's why it'd be interesting to see more footage or find more dj sets of of house and rnb/hip hop raves from the same time, which were probably much bigger but have sort of been forgotten.

My first time hearing this my dad was rippin it up on the parkway in his Rx7 and I loved house music so much since then this type of music and the spool of a turbo bring back so many great memories with my father and I

 

[Benny Bunter]

Another thing that was brilliant that I think Luka posted on here once, probably his own recording, was of a Randy C show playing rnb with him non stop bantering and reading out text messages over the top. I might still have the MP3 somewhere, I doubt it got onto any streaming sites

 

[Benny Bunter]

background information-randy c is the greatest radio host of all recorded time. better even than people like frisky from de ja, jinx from kool and ez from the old garage station whose name i've forgotten.
he's one of the most cockney men alive. he has a great voice. he seems like he drinks about 500 red bulls a day. i always thought he was white but my mate used to be on his station (rawmish) and hes black. he was a leading figure in pirate radio but unfortunately kept getting sent to prison. he may well have run flava as well as raw mission, but don't quote me on that.
im pretty sure he's a stratford boy, but he might not be. hes not a grime dj so don't download this thinking you'll here a grime set and then get all upset. he plays whatever records are getting a big response at the time.
i like it when he sings along to r&b records. i insisted msoses made this tape into an mp3 cos it concerns me that not enough people know about randy. he is a god among men. please download this and listen. it will make you happier.

If you find the mp3, you should try and stick it on YouTube for posterity.

 

[Benny Bunter]

I've found it! I'll try and upload it somewhere tomorrow if I can

 

[version]

It better be good! You and Luke have really sold me on it.

I expected this one to be closer, but maybe nothing can stand up to the power of 'Can You Feel It'.

It's very close now, reinforcements from the underground resistance have arrived!
