New R&B

[Benny Bunter]

I was gonna say in reply to rich, why not garage? (I don't even know at an IBM beat sounds like. Really)

If you want something that can mix with electro and is also proper rnb (via Atlanta/Miami bass) and fun, why not have a go on something like this?

My boo must have got played by garage djs at the time, surely?

semi footwork/juke mix from gantman:

Thanks will check when home.

I've evolved from being interested in checking out sault (due to the media/hipster hype) to not caring for sault to actively disliking sault. they now annoy me, for most of the reasons you mentioned @rubberdingyrapids but also because of the pitchfork fanboy element.

I love the idea of going through this whole evolution without ever needing to listen to them.

Never checked Sault. Could smell what was cooking based on the way people were talking about it

Thing is, I could too and yet somehow I still bought it. I mean it's not bad but...

 

[Benny Bunter]

This new Beyonce is fucking weird dunno what to make if it tbh.

 

[IdleRich]

Even I know that one.
But r&b as a rule is a closed book to me. There are probably loads of stone cold classics I've never even heard. Only thing is, there are some I see people loving that totally mystify me. Of course that happens with any genre... but not as much.

Yeah I know, it was a typo!

Hopefully Robin S. and whoever wrote "Show Me Love" will make a bundle off it, at least.

It's the weird dryness of how it sounds. Don't really know how to describe it.

 

[Leo]

that was a top 40 hit!

ha...you know what I mean, "top 40" as in a pop melody.

They could have put more than 20min into making it. Or hired an actual house producer?

 

[luka]

its better than actual house though. way better.

Maybe it's not the song itself that's weird, more the sensation of how many times we have been here before? Would have fitted right in with the early Rinse FM Pop era.

Whatever, it's definitely a good song, I've just had it on again and I liked it better the second time.

 

[Benny Bunter]

i definitely don't want Beyonce to do actual house

 

[luka]

its a brilliant song. best house record ever made in my opinion. its weird cos i dont like house and i hate beyonce but
i love this its the best.

Don't miss the weird ATL bass cousin to ragga jungle on this:

 

[Benny Bunter]

Might need another thread for ATL bass if there isn't already one. I love so so def allstars but that's all I know really.
