"just a beat" is staying on dub.....

After much deliberation what I'd most like to see next is Unexpected/Livin' Different.

Fuck sake , easily one of my favourite songs by Loefah and it isn't getting a release. Great!!!

I love dmz (mystikz & loefah) for their music, but I hate their stubborn dubplate attitude. I get the concept of keeping tunes fresh for yourself and close ones when you're playing out, but in the end tunes will be forgotten / not played anymore. for instance intergalactic, what's the use in keeping it dub for ages, then letting people forget about it? or releasing tunes that are MAD old (new life baby paris par example)? not that I don't like the fact that new life finally came out, but it's a bit strong innit..

I suppose their argument is that if you want to hear these dubplates and truly experience them then you will go to their dances. If mala released all of his material then it would get rinsed and their special quality will fade. I don't really think it's 'stubborn' they would also argue with this saying that they don't owe us anything which is fair enough because at the end of the day it is their music and they can do what they want. Obv I would love all these tunes but I'm quite happy to wait and appreciate the special quality that they have

explorer is also a sick choon

this. joe is the whole reason conference even ever got released. so i wouldnt be surprised to see city cycle on DMZ at some point. but who knows. only a small select few even know when/what is next, etc

Dmz - intergalactic
loefah - struck dumb

both very old, both still very wanted. and intergalactic was SUPPOSED to come out on the dubstepforum.com label e? so it's not as if they wanted to keep it a dubplate..

*fixed

Joe Nice; Ambassador, Producer / DJ Liaison.
City Cycle is huge, love that tune.

with utmost of respect to joe, Conference was the original Hatcha anthem, i cant hear it without hearing the 'hatcha' sample in his special.

very true as well, cant argue that.

ha, not to mention (im full of gaffes today), conference got the soul jazz treatment, not dmz!

i'm not holding out much hope for a resurgance of dmz releases anytime soon. loef doesnt seem to talk that enthusiastically about it...
from blackdown's blog...

L: For me the core labels in dubstep are Deep Medi, Hyperdub and Tempa.

S: Not DMZ, no?

L: For one, I’m not going to say it because it’s my label already. But DMZ’s interesting, it’s at an interesting point. We set a trend but where do you go with that now? And to be honest I don’t really want to talk anymore on tape about it.

I remember reading that thinking it was quite strange, adds to the whole dmz mystique

that would be amazing as well...

It's a shame if there's been a fall out with Loefah and DMZ label but he's got swamp 81 now so hopefully see some of his stuff on that.... and maybe more Mala and Coki on DMZ... (PLEASE!!!!) there's always a brightside.


I'm hoping for drunken swagger... but can't see that happening so will settle for pop pop epic

I think this thread has to grow to 15 pages before there's a chance we'll see the next dmz. I think that's what happened with the last one, coincidence or not...

if that was the case, people would be making DMZ016, 17, 18...etc threads and just spamming them.

Unexpected/Return to space
Would be pretty epic.

BlessUP DMZ

Hope "Jah Power Dub" & "Too Much Chat" get a release at some point, Such quality tracks.
