not so sure about now. will grab the record, anyway, as a piece of that LDN thing history.

Dubstep: Out
Trap Music: New hotness
While there is no flamesuit big enough to hide me from Uzique, I'll just sit and wait for his essay on how this is the worst music anybody has ever heard and how it originated in South London anyway so I'm not allowed to appreciate it.
Actually here, just copy and paste this and save yourself the trouble:

trap music is widely derided even by people who are labelled as 'trap'. about a year ago at the boiler room lunice (one half of TNGHT) held a 'trap funeral'. it's one of those joke terms. hudson mohawke (the other half of TNGHT) has said several times in interviews that he "just makes hip-hop", and that trap music is a stupid term. so yeah, you look really intelligent when you say that "dubstep is out, trap is in". no artist wants to be labelled as trap. dubstep never even went anywhere - neither 'in' nor 'out'. it's been in the same places doing its thing in the uk quite regardless of what a bunch of fist-bumping brosephs in america think.
the post just says more about you and your actual knowledge/interest in this music than anything else. in america it's all about the 'latest fad' and whatever gay new genre you can namedrop (or, better still, invent a new name for), just to stay 'fresh' and 'hip'. in the uk we're still quite happy to admit to liking a genre/scene that has been going for nigh-on 10+ years now. as for trap music as a serious future... let me know when you've got stadiums full of american kids in day-glo clothing moshing to some shitty soundcloud trap beat. skrillex is quite bad enough.
from what i can gather trap is nothing much new over the dirty-south rap beats mixed with the weird mid-west 'witch house' thing. what's new about those trap beats? it's like the buzz two years ago around SALEM has just resurfaced with hyphy clothing instead of goth smocks. technically the whole jump-up/maximalist style originated in glasgow about 6 years ago with hudmo/rustie/luckyme collective, which then in turn inspired the LA beat-scene (flying lotus being the biggest producer to be turned onto the glasgow hip-hop and london bass scenes, respectively; machinedrum is another american artist who totally changed his sound and relaunched himself on the back of the glasgow/london dance scenes, c.f. his release on luckyme itself). and now you have 'trap'. same shit as half a decade ago only with a fresh generation of clueless teen hipsters pronouncing it the 'best new thing'. um, hello?

Well you didn't tell me to kill myself (which you have in the past) so I guess it's a fairly calm evening over there across the pond.
Liked the first one, second not so much.aynrandroolz wrote:

Hospitality in Birmingham was awesome.
Love Danny Byrd live, his mixes are so much fun

hate the music, fine, but you have to respect the coordination this guy has
inb4 "EDM not D&B"

I dont typically listen to this type of music, and maybe it was just this coupled with the visuals of the mission that made it awesome, but I reckon this is pretty neato.

Almost 6 years too late, but people should check out Medicate With Bass Weight, Feb. 2007 by Christine Vaccine
funktion one
how many people have experienced a funktion one?
yeah but you have to actually leave the house rick.
i mean who has actually been to a nightclub with a properly tooled up funktion one system? it's a transformative experience. experiencing sound so intense that it's actually physical. i've let my bowels loose on a funktion one floor many times, and i always have a smile on my face. i would say that 80% of all 'proper' early dubstep was made exclusively for such systems - strongly oriented around the dub/dancehall 'sound-system' culture. it's something that baffles me thesedays with american edm/brostep: how so many teenagers are listening to youtube rips, or through iPod earbuds. it's meant to be physically affective music, but these idiots reduce it to ringtone frequencies. i'm convinced that's why so much american brostep trash boils down to ugly mid-range saw-sooth brrrrrrraaaaaaawwwww noises: because not many american clubs, or audiences, have access to proper sound-systems. so everything has to be taken up into the higher frequencies, where instead of sounding 'deep' and like a rounded kick to the chest, it sounds like two mosquitoes having sex in front of a studio microphone.

It's not like funktion one's are rare here. I've been to a handful of clubs in LA that have them. Exchange LA plays shitty bro-step and lame trance, but there's another little club I can't recall the name of that I saw Tokimonsta in that has a great overall sound. It might be run by the Russian mafia, because it's like a 800 person occupancy and at any given time there are about 10-15 russian gorillas hanging around, bouncing, bar-tending, etc.
what a fucking tune
now that's funktion one music in its purest form
