Disco and electronic music in general
 

How do you feel about it?Are you really just some sad snob who can't accept music finding more interesting ways to move forward other than some detuned guitar?No need for a poll on this one.

I'm not really familiar with his music.My question,Diesel,is not about the sort of instruments that one plays but more about the narrow minded attitude towards music listening and,as a consequence,music making.

Any good?He gets good rep left,right and centre it seems.

Oh that is not a bad thing,surely?Have you heard the new Outkast?Can't wait to get that!!!

Oh yeah,i just got recently a mix cd that prefuse 73 did a while ago.Of those so called 'alternative hip hoppers' i've always had a soft spot for El-p,Clouddead,Mr Lif,Cannibal Ox,Boom Bip(not really a hip hopper,i know but...).

the instrumental verision of the cold vein is amazing,almost better then the one with vocals....i love clouddead,boom bip,etc,but lately i absolutely love why's elephant eyelash,great songs,and subtle's a new white.
none of them is a dance album,though...i love m.i.a's arular,i like also the albums by "the knife",some depeche mode (the most dark mooded songs,mostly)....i'm searching for "entertaining" eletronic music,i'll search for porky's suggestions on the other thread,and i'll also chek mu and some other bands/singers...

Anyone likes the great Pole?Glitch dub master himself?Where are you Pole?You disappeared off the radar.

oh,porky if you want to check it this should be the link to the new outkast

Excellent,thanks for that!

what about alec empire? does anyone like him?

Actually,now that i think about it,Pole's first album is really one of the greatest albums made in recent times.

uuuh,yeah,i also have Piracy Funds Terrorism, Vol. 1 mixtape with m.i.a. and some other nice guests

Do we like Alec Empire?He's(was) ace.

Diesel,get any Atari Teenage Riot.I'm dead sure that you'll fall for them.And Bomb 20,Patric Catani and Ec8r.

digital hardcore

Seriously, i've only just heard 1996's Endtroducing... And it is, to put it succintly, fucking ace. I've never heard of Prefuse 73.

I can still remember the first time i listened to Bomb 20's 'Flip burgers or Die!!!' because i didnt speak to anyone for a few days.Criminally underrated record.

There's also Amon Tobin and Kid Koala... Those two are rather conventional though, in their music making...

Not Tobin's greatest fan but i can appreciate his music when in the right frame of mind.I'm a little less familiar with Kid Koala's music.

The whole bottle?

Brain cell murder

Porkie, have you ever heard Gate's The Lavender Head?

Nope.I've never even heard of that name before.Tell us.

I'm on the can myself at the moment.I'm cheap so i'm drinking Stella.

Oh,atari made an appearence and then deleted himself.Strange bloke.........

He is probably my favourite electronica type. Any of his Mille Plateaux [sp?] records are very much worth getting, as is his 'Alec Empire vs Elvis Presley' LP.

The only problem I have with disco (and I assumed Porkie meant proper disco) is that I don't listen to it at home. It's dancing music, for dancing to. Out of the house, preferably with girls. See also happy hardcore, although I ocassionally have a bonkers evening.

Daddy, why do they hate us so much....

THAT. FUCKING. BASSLINE.

It's funny, I've dj'd that tune a fair few times, and there's always someone who comes up and goes, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" How to make friends and fry eardrums...

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"
That was exactly my reaction when i listened to that record the very first time.

Gate is Michael Morley from The Dead C. His stuff used to be very much like Dead C, but his last couple of releases have been electronica. I'll send you a copy.

Happy Hardcore will never make sense until you are in a field on gurners with people that you bumped into at last orders who are quite scary.

Sunday night, while waiting for a bus, I got talking to a crack head and ended up drinking beer he'd stolen at his housewhile he and his friends got obliterated on crack. I like doing these things, especially when I come out with my knee caps. One day I won't be so lucky.

I too am descending into drink. Need an early night tonight.

That crack is very moorish though...

I used to buy a lot of DHR stuff. I remember somebody telling me that in the early 90's Alec Empire used to buy a lot of British breakbeat imports (he's from Germany) but played them at the wrong speed. So when he started doing his own stuff, he made it a lot faster than it should have been.

Listen to Sonic Subjunkies or ATR's Raver Bashing.

And try this fantastic peice of electronica/glitch:

 

It features two board favourites, Lydia Lunch & Terry Edwards.

Kim Hiorthoy.

i wouldn't mind getting my hands on that alec empire vs elvis presley record, it's not that easy to come by though. i've got field manual by bomb 20 and it's good but too long. i think cobra killer is probably my favourite DHR thing these days.
anyway, i like pole3 the most, then 2, then 1.

what do you mean, disco?


that disco?

that disco is great!

the last thing you need at this hour is speed

Last time i've done a similar thing,the bastard stole £20 pounds from me.Never again.

Wow! Gotta get that. Is it any good Pookie?



Those are great choices pork. I filmed a few times for some of the guys from the Anticon label. Made two vids for Alias and Boom Bip in the Milkyway A'dam a year ago. Gonna put them on our site soon. Speeking of alternative Hip Hop, ya must know Buck 65 and Sage Francis?

Here's a link to El-p's Deep space 9mm vid. It's got such a simple concept and it kicks ass. You can also find the vid on the Fantastic Damage cd as an extra.
