Mumdance - The Sprawl
Soundcloud
I've never really gotten this guy's music but this is utterly outrageous. I can't get any kind of feeling or vibe out of it. Can't imagine it being appropriate or additive in any situation.
Just sounds like a bleeps and squelches sample pack demo to me.
What are your thoughts?

All that melts away when the lights are down and the bass is up.

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
mumdances stuff always sounded kind of whacked out and weird to me, his stuff with Logos I like though.
His Unknown to unknown record tho>>>>
edit: ha, I like Spring time more but yeah.

I find Springtime a bit annoying for some reason, the synth kinda pisses me off, don't know whyJohnlenham wrote:mumdances stuff always sounded kind of whacked out and weird to me, his stuff with Logos I like though.

Much prefer his more percussive stuff.

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
That one's a little better, but his stuff is too far up itself imo. There's a fine line between the wacky/goofy stuff that sounds good and sounding like someone with ADHD who routinely smokes crackspliffs while making tunes, he crosses it consistently imo. I can't even follow any rhythm in The Sprawl until the first 4 bars of the third drop, then it wanders off again.Liam92 wrote:The Sprawl is a crazy tune, really lke it.

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
The pads in the breakdowns are sample worthy though.

Yeah, don't see what's wrong with sampling them though to be honest.legend4ry wrote:Easy enough to make.jesslem wrote:The pads in the breakdowns are sample worthy though.

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
The Sprawl is almost really good. But it's kind of really empty a lot of the time. Heard some new Bloom out recently (I'm assuming it was him anyway) that was similarly crazy but with more going on that I preferred.

Imo, Mumdance is the brostep equivalent of something like this:

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
I don't really like it when UK music tries to go full IDM like that. Like jess said, it's a bit up its own arse isnt it.
Frankly a lot of UK music these day is lacking the straight out dance floor ruffness-while-being-fresh thing that made it good in the first place…I think that's the appeal of Juke and hip hop for fans of dubstep/jungle etc these days, that music has none of that shit.
Spare me the tunes that are just a wanky series of sonic references to grime and jungle strung together without punch or vibe. Oh, here's the jungle telephone noise…"Anything test dead" hmm yes I know that one…oh it's the synth from DJ Wonder-What, you must know grime my lad. And here's some pointless hi-hat triplets. Oh and you've got a classic reese under it all. That's what you call "varied influences" or something on factmag.com. All these classic noises, just spliced up after each other like a tumblr blog. Just used in an aesthetic, fashion way.
Maybe I'm a bit overly para about that, cus I can't really point to a single tune that does this horribly badly, but I just sense its a growing trend like that.

Re: Mumdance - The Sprawl
@harkat I can see your point and in parts it does feel like that sometimes but I still think it's people being over critical(Well people mostly on forums), I would also say there's too much of people instantly shitty on things straight away(Although this has always happened with the internet it's more noticeable)and not giving a things a chance to grow. Any sort of scene that growing now is under huge amount of criticism unlike the ones before it.
