Mannie Fresh > J Dilla

No.

I respect other peoples opinions but theres a reason people don't be comparing 'apples to oranges'.

talk about the music. and the effect it has on you. not how many fanboys/girls the said person has.

but either way. if your going to write an article like that which you know is gonna draw clicks - at least give us an arguement.

If your still bumping mannie fresh beats 20 years down the line, and they're still making you wonder like the first time you heard them. . .then I wanna know.

How can music made from the heart even be compared to music made solely for the plastic and lights of the club. . . .

I will never know.

no hate. Mannie Fresh is dope.

Said Article

HES007

Grimelight/Rut - from little-known producer Joe. On Hessle Audio.

Grimelight. . a simple conga keeps the pace while flicks of bass and various tools of percussion fall in and out as they please. rhythm is broken intermittently by the call of an eastern flute, prompting the tune to hit something of a reset, before tailing away again. . off to no-where in particular. .

Rut retains the same percussive elements as its flip. . yet shapes them into a much more focused roller. . The drums are evidently harder, sharp little jabs of piano and the chords are there to build and build to a faltering climax which never really is. . . .

Beautifully poised.

Almost an effortless follow-up to Pangaea's much heralded 12" from the tail end of last year. . But I guess I shouldn't really have expected any differently from a label that after what is now seven times of asking, are yet to put a foot wrong.

Majors need to seriously think about embracing the 'cloud' services rather than throwing legal weight around. Your business models are outdated. Show us some creativity. Some forward vision. At the moment your giving us nothing. Surely it's an exciting challenge to build the plans that revolutionise the industry. . ?

A lot of us have been calling for Gilles Peterson to try his hand at travel programmes. Here we get our wish, an hour special from the man in Istanbul. Where East meets West.

Hopefully he makes the transition to the screen sometime soon.

Musique Large. Home to Fulgeance, Debruit, this beautiful Take mix. And an annoying web player that tries to blow my speakers out every time I visit.

But let's not dwell. Or rather, lets dwell on one of the many positives.

Today, although slightly delayed on it, is the day that I pass on this brilliant mix from the man TAKE. a. K. a Sweatson Klank

another thing that has been warmly glowing amid my bookmarks is this mix from Jamie Vex'd.

(..via the LuckyMe collective..)

He used to be part of a duo that made dubstep that I didn't care for.

Now he seems to be making something I do care for.

and mixing things I love.

HDB019

another in the HDB catalogue.

the dust has barely started its descent after the kode9 episode (Black Sun...). But I guess with the schedule kode outlined on Deviation the other week, there is no time to stand and take in the intricacies of each release. There certainly were no internet rumbles for this release.

But dubsteppers will know all about what LD can bring to the table.

available in all formats @ boomkat.

& it seems even they were caught offguard. Not even enough time to put together one of their quirky little reviews. Sooncome I guess. .

LEAVING RECORDS arrived on March 6th with podcast number 1. I know nothing of this 'Dak' character, but i'm sure if you watch the website - all will eventually be revealed.

a beautiful soundscape from what is sure to be a hallmark (conceptual) label of years to come.

I like it when nights mix styles. The bill is huge.

Culoe De Song

some South African house music that is actually physically (well...) accessible to your average man in Europe.

Culoe De Song. steadily been making deep house music waves since he was unveiled at the '08 red bull music academy

..& with pieces forthcoming on innervisions, Offering Records (a Reggie Dokes remix. . ) - his stock should continue to go up and up.

If you like it deep, african and tribal then this is where its at.

<===== thats the Resident Advisor podcast link right there.

The best house music to grace my ears since karizma b2b simbad on the deja. .Which is Here.

spaceBeat Travels

the stars put me onto this one night early last month. . .

. . Working my way through a few internet radio shows on my google reader I came across a backlog of Micheal Rutten's soulsearching shows. I chose #569.

& at the end of what was already a very strong, diverse schooling in music from all across the map - came this. . . Courtesy of the UK's Emanative.

an exquisitely beautiful, effortlessly listenable passage of music. and in a day and age where people are churning podcasts/selections out bi-weekly and the like - it's a real pleasure to listen to something where you can feel the effort the selector has put in.

oh yeah the small matter of an Album on the way. Details will be here . .

very very classy. almost in direct contrast to the KIG pa that I was recently subjected too. No almost about it actually. bleugh.

Fans of house music in any form must get on board this one. And by the sounds of his 'Producer Showcase' ( recently aired on Footloose ), there is plenty in the arsenal.

Guess Who?

firstly my long time fave Dwele with a tribute from his (not so) recent album. .



John Robinson, Phonte & Radar Ellis losing it for dilla. I still find it incredibly moving to see this type of event, to see what it really means to the artists. The passion from both sides. not often it comes together like this.

Perfect way to wake up . & you just know what i'm going to be bumping for the next 24.

take you out to eat , never fed your mind

1 in 5 songs i've listened to today have featured this man.

There aren't really many of these r & b singers who I can really relate to these days, and there certainly aren't really any of these r & b singers who know how to get behind the boards. Ryan Leslie achieves both. With aplomb.

If your lucky enough to own some of his instrumentals you'l know what I'm meaning.
