Waaaaaaaaaa Mondays

This Man makes me Happy

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, and my last post ever!!!

Shit, I've been so despondent about the scene lately, the music is stale, the crowds are 2 dimensional, and all the good artists are so bored they keep churning out dub-step. If I had all the bandwidth back after accidentally downloading dub-step, I'd be so flush I'd be able to download the entire backcatalogue of Elton John, which doesn't sound like to bad an option compared to other shit I've been sampling.

 

Along the way , the music stopped being fun to me when every extended break was used, and all the build-ups sounded like brrzzttt, zffffffftttt, eeeeeeee, krrrrrrring, bkkkkkkyyyy, chik, chok, .......... boom, womp, womp, womp. 

You can only do the trick so many times before it sounds tired, it is supposed to create anticipation, like misdirection in horror movies before a jump scare. But if every movie had a jump scare every 15 mins, no one would be scared of them. They would be predictable, it's the silence in those breaks that sucks the most it's an old pop trick, used in songs to force people to listen and think "is the song over?", before it folds back into it's formulaic "yeahs" and "woops" again more forced misdirection.

Dj's won't even say they play fidget when they do because of the sheer embarrassment of the scene, rather either saying they playing Jacking House or Electro, I doubt we'll ever see timeless music again, I guess it's the natural progression of all art-forms.

And then I saw this video, which sparked my interest again, the same way "Mars" did when i heard it on The Count and Sindens Radio 1 mixtape January '08, the same way "Underground (Busy P Remix)" did when I was fed-up with banging music after hearing Boy-8 bit's massively disappointing "Suspense is Killing Me" Ep. 

Now "Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs" are willing to not take them seriously at all, their name is the biggest joke of all as they know their days are numbered, without releasing anything yet, well an E.P. "All In One Sixty Dancehall"  soon to be available on Greco-Roman. But I've said enough, I won't play anything banging anymore, and electronic music is releasing it's last exhale any minute now, I won't blog anymore about dance music, and frankly I'm fucked off because I won't be missed, well not being missed by spirits, it's all bullshit and shallow anyway. 

Wow this blog post gone all fucking Cevron! 

Ok so maybe that was all a bit melodramatic, I guess if you've read this far you deserve the truth.....

(please note the ......, the old pop trick from before too build anticipation)

I just want to play video games all the time for the rest of my life, and not waste anytime searching for music, organizing music, and playing music. I just want to study frame data and perfect Sagat's Ultra move in Street Fighter 4. That is all, please mail all complaints to:

I kid, it's all peachy on the Fat Chinese Boi, for Belushi.

If I've learnt anything in my life, it's that nothing stays the same or sucks forever, if you hang in there shit will get better, movies, music, video games, comics, literature, drugs, jokes. 

Yes scenes get caught in ruts and stagnate, yes originality gets neglected, but it's these rough times that fuel the innovators, so don't give up on things too easily cause it really doesn't take alot of effort to change circumstance.

Oh yeah where was I... the innovative music, here it is.

Grave Danger Tracks!!!...??..., ah £@&$.

I google image searched "Grave Danger" and all I got was this lousy book cover.

Here are two tracks from the Gnome sympathizers, brothers Skene.

I prefer "Move Just", cause I'm a sucker for sampling and those drum breaks kill me.

For some reason it reminds me of Oizo's Flat Beat.

Grave Danger - Move Just (MediaFire)

Grave Danger - Duck or Run (Mediafire)

Awesome Loose Change

So lets get this fucken boat sinking with some fresh bangers to start off your week... I have finally finished off a 3 month stint on set and ShuffleShame's first gig (which was rather fun, thanks Spoek and Big Space). So here we go! This tracks like Star Trek, were in some serious need of Donking, in which Star Trek's case, it was donked by the master Mr. JJ Abrams...So here's who donked the rest

So anyone remember Cassius? Yes that french electro act from around 1999? Ohhhh yeah? "Feeling for You" Anyone? Well some bored out of there brains British bastards called Les Rythmes have just dropped this wicked remix. I found myself questioning my taste for a little while... Then I listen to this Lo-Fi mash up and realised...No my taste is fine, this is a great track....So grab it while its hot...

Cassius - Feeling For You ( Les Rythmes Digital Remix)

It's those crazy cats Autokratz and sadly there track "Always More" needed a little something more. Saldy for this kind of track some backyard Donk was not nearly enough to help it along to greatness. so that flat chested mastermind His Majesty André had to fix this shit...and SNAP he did! Have a listen and if you don't like it, sue me later...when I give a fuck...

Autokratz - Always More ( His Majesty André Remix) 

Ohhh Bag Raiders, remember the days when people didn't call you Gay Raiders...I don't! I will forever call you Gay Raiders out of respect for one of my favourite Blog's (You know who you are). Anyway Gay Raiders were also in need a bit of Donking to tweak their track "Turbo Love" into overdrive for coolness. Luckly my fav Asian of all time Mr. Shinichi Osawa stepped in and put some heart and soul into an otherwise bad reminder of what Gay Raiders use to be... Thanks Japanese Man...
