NU REGGAE

[scspkr99]

shit names for music?

[Alistairr]

look u douche bag, lol. if i was to call it reggae, then the traditional heads would complain that it isnt reggae cause it sounds more electronic then it should, but if im to call it nu reggae then the modernists complain that it aint modern enough...how can i win>>???!!

the point being, u need a label, in order to describe ur sound, i dont care if it sounds shit, its jsut a label, and a label that ordinary people can connect with...u get me bruv...

[scspkr99]

How am I a douchebag for not liking a term nu reggae? I said your stuff was ok I wasn't hating on it or calling it shit I was saying that Nu Reggae is a shit name. Like are you the first producer to make the sound you make? What about other makers of dub that work digitally? How do you think Rhythm and Sound produced 4 albums? What about the album that Ulrich Troyer has produced? Why the fuck do they not need nu reggae as label yet your prepared to call some random stranger a douchebag because he thinks that Nu Reggae is a shit name?

U get me bruv? what are you 12

[Alistairr]

rhythm and sound are dub techno, u shouldnt criticise if u cant even get ur facts straight...now im not bothered about u thinking its a shit name, ive already stated that, u miss the point, which is there is nothing to describe this sound accurately enough, hence the tag. im not the only one out there producing like- minded music, do u think dubstep is a good name then? of course cause its become standardised in our cuulture.

[skimpi]

i like the name fake reggae, or robot reggae, how about reggae in binary form?

[scspkr99]

Man it's dub, it's broad enough to encapsulate what you want to do what they to do and what Augustus Pablo was doing digitally 25 years ago.

You really think it needs to be classed as Dub Techno? Like this could just be called dub / reggae like it's pretty distinct from the original basic channel stuff right?

Like it doesn't matter but you've started a thread asking about a trend that doesn't exist because that's where you think it fits. Call what you make whatever the fuck you like your perfectly entitled to call it a sandwich if that's what you want to do but don't expect anything like Nu Reggae to go down well as a genre label with anyone you care to ask

[Alistairr]

its just a bloody name, what does it matter as u rightly said>? how does it affect u in any shape or form, the answer is it doesnt, its just a method of distinguishing one form of music from another, a process of identification. so for example if i followed suit with sandwich people would as u say would then no that its at least its something different but relatively speaking that has no meaning. at least nu reggae points u into the right direction for the disconcerned listener who perhaps doesnt no his basic channel from his king tubby...

ur just fixated over the name as a brand, which i can understand but dont really sympthasize with as a true music lover would look beyond any brand/name and jsut be interested in the content...

[scspkr99]

You're right it doesn't matter to me outside that you started to thread to elicit opinion and I chose to share mine.

[Sufferhead]

my advice to you is try writing at least some sort of english and stop with the im sooo ghetto i cant even type properly/ nuff said bollocks...

Nice, your reading comprehension is so poor that you were unable to see that it was a a parody of you. "im" sure you tried your best, though.

which is there is nothing to describe this sound accurately enough, hence the tag. im not the only one out there producing like- minded music

How exactly is Nu-Reggae a more accurate or useful term than digital dub/digidub? Nu-Reggae, OED definiton: Reggae which is Nu.

at least nu reggae points u into the right direction for the disconcerned listener who perhaps doesnt no his basic channel from his king tubby...

You really need to stop desperately namedropping ol' Ozzy. No response to my On-U Sound comparison, no reaction to the guy who typed Paul Holt instead of John Holt, and most obviously, apparently no awareness that digital reggae and dub has been going on for decades prior to the moment you decided to pointlessly rename it all as just "nu-reggae". Are you really so sure you're knowledgeable about reggae?

[Alistairr]

reggae or should i say nu reggae is jsut one aspect of music that i produce and love, im not desperately name dropping, just not everyone is clearly as fanatical about as u sir...in a perfect world i wuld love to be able to name drop as well as you do but ur missing the point completely...

i cant react to every bloody messgae on this thread! i dont have the patience!!

why is it pointless, its no more pointless then digital dub in the first place, everything is cyclical and revivals come and go especially in electronic music...

best you go do some research on the history of this rich, and beautiful corner of music.

wayne smith didnt need to call it nu reggae when he came up with the sleng teng riddim, mungos hi fi didnt need to call it nu reggae when they started running tings north of the border.

i dont call my productions 'nu reggae'
but under your guidelines, they probably would be....

basically what youve said in this thread makes me sad, but i hope youll do a bit of digging into the culture of regggae/rocksteady/ska/dancehall/dub and find a new love, and wider spectrum of knowledge.

beacuse youve shown you dont have alot of knowledge, on the one thing you started a conversation about.

nu reggae?

nah, just niceness. no need for a label.

@ alistair, my bad, this is definitely the most gassed comment ive read in a longtime, i thought it was you that said it, but evidently it wasnt...

i believe dubstep directly morphed from house music and picked up bits and pieces along the way. house music was big before king tubby made much of a splash in north america.

at the end of the day it's all relative to how a person interprets dubstep, but i've been around enough and listened to enough to form my own opinion.

most of your derivative from dub/reggae to dubstep can be applied to any genre really.

i hope people know that tubby basically came up with the concept of remixing tracks? just throwing that out there.

watch dub echoes, great dvd...

yes exactly tubby is the creator of the dub, and the inventor of the remix, way before house was even spoken about... thats what i thought at least...

next time don get us confused ....

putting an 808 in a reggae song doesnt make it a different genre...

[Alistairr]

its not about genres, hense the nu......still reflecting the past but just a modernisation of it. do u see it now...

[ekidd91]

Don't really see the need for calling it nu reggae. Not joining the debate. OP track is dope but.
