Whose records should i buy.
 

Well,since my life is now entirely of your own making,i want you to also influence my record purchases.Do feel free to force your way in into my brain because i'll do anything that you want me to.

I have no idea who these people are. But statik is the name that most appeals to me.

Uk garage and grime stuff that i listen to day in day out.

cool

C'mon let us know what i should buy or i wont be able to operate as a human being.Puuuurrrllllllleaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Looks like statik wins, to me.

i say statik too, cos all the other names are uncool.

Davinche

* grabs notebook*

Yeah, the others sound like real wanker names. Statik is definitely the coolest name. They've gotta be the coolest band.

Davinche has some good original tracks, and one of the best 'cover/sample' tracks in a while.

It's a bit of a shame that more doesn't sound as hard as 'Stop', but so what?

never heard 'em. are there links to any of these bands so we can make a proper opinion?

I second that.

Edit-Hip Priest's post.

'Stop' is my favourite.

I'm not familiar with Fumin.

which jammer record is that? and what's the statik one, is the "grindie" thing, or is it Connected (which is very good), is the wiley one 2nd phaze?

Garage has much cool stuff going on (or 'down', if you prefer), but I feel that no-one has ever matched Oxide and Neutrino's first LP for consistency.

blech. i say not davinche... i feel over genericized..if thats a word.. after listening to that. everything boring about hiphop.
still say statik until i get some linkage and they suck... i doubt it. with a name like statik you gotta rock.

Statik-The set
Connected i have already as well as Wiley's 2nd phaze.Any more suggestion?I don't want to buy a record because i read of it on the internet.

Jammer-anything as i haven't heard a single note by him.

is 2nd phaze any good, i haven't heard it yet?

aim high 3 is really good, if it's still available, and there's a new rinsessions CD that just came out that i'm keen for (roll deep live at ministry of sound) because the last one was great (the 6CD pack), and ruff sqwad have reissued their guns n roses mixtape, which is also very good. i want the new JME one too.

i'll upload you some stuff with him on later if you like.

listen to the neckle camp mix on logan sama's page, as it's mostly jammer just going for it.

2nd phaze is fucking ace and these people have completely convinced me that english(as oppose to british because it wouldn't make any sense in that case ) 'hip hop/grime/whatever you wanna call it' really doesn't need its american counterpart anymore in wichever way possible.I'm very exited by this because they are bringing in the goods like i haven't seen that happening before.

Yay!Thanks Le Toilette!

Is it too obvious a choice to say Wiley? Davinche I've yet to be impressed by, Jammer I've enjoyed. Can I be super-obvious and say Kano? Mitchell Brothers put on an ace DJ show when I seen 'em. Riko, anyone?

1xtra is a Godsend.

Mitchell Brothers are hit or miss for me.I haven't been impressed by what i've heard on record but i hear that they have to be experienced live to get the full extent.Kano is indeed fine in my notebook.

Riko i haven't heard yet.

So totally utterly word to the power of a million. I was banging on about how we seem to only get West coast American stuff over here when the East coast is generally oodles better. But whatever, Grime is the best proper actual scene to happen to England for ages. I've heard loads of stuff out of Manchester lately, that's generally ace. Next stop, Glasgow I reckon, followed by Bristol. Mark my words.

i'm a bit take it or leave it with kano, riko is fucking brilliant though.
i'll upload some riko too.

Bristol is the one place to always watch because out of the hat they spawn genius in spades without anyone seeming to see it coming.What i love about this more than the drum 'n bass or jungle scenes(wich i've found totally exiting)is that it' spreading really fast and it it hasn't got a tendency to ghettoize itself by nature.Only in England you could get such music that has no particular skin colour.

Yeah. Bristol is great. Not for a while though, I think we're due another explosion. There is an awful lot of gack around at the moment, but also a lot of greatness. I've not really been out on the dance scene for a while, I keep meaning to see where it's at. I'm currently enjoying a bit of a Jazz tip, which is surprisingly great.

i don't totally agree with that, grime is ghettoizing itself because the whole scene seems to be controlled by politics and disorganization.

Dance music is getting better and better in gay clubs too(and they keep on opening new ones every week).I think that The Ghetto might have really started something interesting there(as well as the old Rocktronica in Chinatown) because the music i'm hearing in clubs generally gets better by the week.It's almost like everyone got tired of the old litany of Kilye/Madonna/Robbie Williams and all hell broke loose.I've never felt like asking a DJ for what they are playing(did i fuck....)but i've started feeling compelled to do that now.

Club Motherfucker at the Garage is another one where they never fail to surprise me.

And Plastic People near where Toilet lives can be truly good when they want too.

To an extent.There is certainly a fringe of it that is involved in those politics and disorganization but a less obtuse fringe of it is dismantling things in order to prolong its life.

Mind you Madonna gets played enough a fucking lot in gay clubs but she now shares space with other interesting musicians.

why is that stuff is so popular with gays, marras? as the board's token gay man you explain it to me.

The allure of the glamour that most gays can only dream of.Is that good an answer Le Toilette?

that's good enough for me.

Sing it Dodgy style:
'if it's good enough for me,it's good enough for you........'
