No noise 2019? Not even the mighty Fabio & Grooverider are playing it? Oh, well, it is by far the best dumb’n’bass* this year and for some years and some years to come. Why? It is plain to see, why…? For one thing, if an album contains one instant classic then that is enough in… Continue reading Not That Many Days Left Of This Year?

You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
That the subject was depleted by now? Helas, I’m still wondering, thinking and trying to understand how this is this possible? How and by what means did Aphex produce this: Selected Ambient Works 85-92. – What do you mean? – Literally I do not understand how or by what means “Xtal + Tha” could ever… Continue reading You Would Have Thought Or Bringin’ It?
There’s Another Track
Possibly superseding the best track ever produced. What? It is a track that may supersede: Shadow Boxing! I’m not telling… not for a good year. I’ve heard it and that’s enough for me. I never, ever thought that would happen in my life-time. It did and I know what it is. Someone, please call the… Continue reading There’s Another Track
My 3rd Copy
I had two copies on vinyl previously, this one is the third and it is the CD version. I also found these (y’all need to stop throwing things…) in the trash. I remember one night I was jamming in a chili house on Seventh Avenue between 139th and 140th. It was December 1939. Now I’d… Continue reading My 3rd Copy
Disturbingly Good
This is work in progress… I’m dazed and confused by Shitkid. It just seems wrong. Why in the name of the Lord would you ever make a cover of My Favorite Thing? The short and simple answer? You would not ever do that. On top of it all I’ve been and I still am a… Continue reading Disturbingly Good
Tru Steppa
Tru steppa, hard steppa? This is as close as you will get to my definition. The source is a bit more complicated who-is-who and whatnot production wise according to me. As it was originally stated: La coïncidence n’existe pas.. There are too many similarities and tracks-within-tracks. It is an investigation that will have to wait… Continue reading Tru Steppa
It Is Sounding Alright – Can I Get A Third Deck?
You have to see/hear it to believe it! A DJ requesting a third deck (1210)? That is something very special. It is probably a special night and you are well specialized doing something like that. The added complexity? 1210 x 3? Mixing three instead of two at the same time? And making it all work?… Continue reading It Is Sounding Alright – Can I Get A Third Deck?
Bobby Did It (Spanish Fly)
I’m just saying… RZA As Bobby Digital – In Stereo, “Kiss Of A Black Widow” featuring none-other than ODB, (RIP, 1968-2004). – Do I lock on beyond the break? This is hip-hop (East-Coast anno 1998) and you need to understand that. It is: 8-bit sample, drum machine and rhymes. It is based/infused in the minimal… Continue reading Bobby Did It (Spanish Fly)
Damn You A.Rother!
PSI49NET 104 by Anthony Rother and the track “Inner Space Odyssey”? It is complicating my life as we speak. And I don’t even want to talk about: “Bilocation”. In my mind it is impossible that A.Rother has not heard: the mighty Jaques Lueder or Inigo Kennedy on Cutting Pleasure. Related: The Jönköping shuffle. Not heard… Continue reading Damn You A.Rother!
Destination? Out-And-About…
Previous evening’s company? AC, Fabio & Grooverider on the unstoppable: rinse.fm. Of course, off course, and of course on course. “Let It Go!” on Twisted Individual’s label Grid Recordings. I am speechless (it is a an uncommon state, believe it or not). The unconditional love for drum’n’bass? – Are you some kind of fanatic? –… Continue reading Destination? Out-And-About…
