i was sort of thinking about that. its funny how a lot of the music barty champions is, in certain ways, aesthetically antithetical to the styles most liked by dissensus. grime, ardcore, post punk, etc. are shambolic, raw, lo fi, choppy, rude. whereas so much of this stuff is ultra clean, precise, smooth, atmospheric, subtle. weirdness is seamlessly woven and blended into the “affect field” rather than guilelessly thrown in your face. (luxury weapon was the phrase for it other_life used.)

ironically a lot of the zoomer internet music that no one here particularly loves, the stuff blissblogger’s son wrote about, is more in line with the former aesthetic value set. so if you think of barty’s stuff as the next in a lineage of dissensus-approved music, does it suggests a kind of switch in aesthetic values has happened between demographics?

Can overplay the raw rough and rugged line though. Garage doesn't fit into that whatsoever and nor does posh ambient jungle and a host of other things. And there's precedents for the mood-palette too. Wiley at his most sepulchral, that whole mid 90s New York Gothic sound with Mobb Deep and Wu, 'deep and haunting hardcore'...

It's been etherealised and dematerialised to an unprecedented degree but it's not anti-dissensus music we are allowed to embrace it

You could do a history of ghosty voices all over the nuum stuff, bewitching burial, but also there in RZA during his imperial phase and heard to good effect here on this new thing
