Yep, there where a whole bunch of aggressive hyped up "mt eden is the greatest producer alive" bros in there. Like you I walked straight in and out when mt eden was on (sounded like they where playing low quality tunes 128kb youtube rips aswell maybe). truth & optimus absolutely merked itjiba wrote:Mt Eden played the second DJ set before Optimus Grime's and Truths sets on friday night just been. I stepped into the room for about 10-15min to see if their DJ skills are as appalling as their production skills. The room was packed with people (though I imagine most were there to watch 5 chicks from the crowd lifting their skirts and bending over on top of the bass bins) the mixing was pretty poor at best. So went back into the DnB room until O.G's set!

i called into an indie radio station the other day, and requested disco rekah, and then added "but anything classic by coki or loefah will do if you dont have that."freakah wrote:Someone told me today that 'Sierra lonne' by Mt Eden is a 'Dubstep classic'.........

and then, he comes on... saying my name and saying i requested this song, and puts on a low quality sierra leone
i facepalmed so hard that i almost swerved off the road... not a terrible song but still made my stomach churn
hmm, it's interesting that you mention this question, because i was going to start a new thread on this, but i guess i'll ask it here:freakah wrote: And there goes your reputation...
Seriously though, I don't get all the hype - there's a million kids on youtube remixing the top 40 songs with shit production technique and no originality - why does he get all the hype?! What about the unsigned kids who work fucking hard to make their shit tight as, and don't get anywhere near the exposure they deserve?! Waste.
Yes! The slow but sure demise of DECENT sounding music. With the MP3 and illegal downloading so big at the minute, the average teenager considers a 96kbps youtube rip a perfectly acceptable listening experience. The newer generations are slowly becoming used to worse sound quality with the rise of all these lossy formats and youtube rips. I read somewhere that in a listening test, many teenagers chose a 128kbps MP3 as sounding BETTER than a WAV copy...which is just unbelievableknell wrote: any other points that you guys can think of??

Because they're becoming used to this lower sound quality, the line between decent production and audio quality vs shit production and audio quality is becoming more blurred - because they're missing out on several kHz of human hearing, everything sounds worse, but because they're used to it they think it sounds as good...
^ Failed to explain what I meant there, someone help me out!

but thanks, this article validates my second point in my above comment/theory"I'm making music, DJing, and drinking full time. It's rock'n'roll," laughs Cooper.
Although, he jokes, he was only three years into his building apprenticeship when he put it on hold to take up music, and while his new job is going well, he won't be selling his tools just yet.

Mt Eden have helped take dubstep from its dark and reclusive underground roots to a wider and more mainstream crowd.
"I know my sound is unique to other dubsteppers out there.
" It's trancey, melodic, dubstep - that's what I like, something with a riff, a nice melody, that's vocal-driven, and when you dance to it you dance because you feel good.
Mt Eden's plan is to take live dubstep on the road with a band and vocalist, they are also teaming up with up and coming singer Ruby Frost to record, and head to Europe and the US for two months later in the year.

It's soul music.
