It's like reggae gets a pass lyrically because it's made by dudes who smoke lots of weed when really the lyrical themes can be on a par with christian rock (I know it's also helped by pretty much all reggae not being on the unlistenably awful level of christian rock though)

I thought you liked grime

I like grime but what's that got to do with it? I'm not trying to claim I'm some road man or something. I play the records but I don't try give off any image or whatever. I'm not using slang on twitter I don't say in real life. I'm turning up to dj wearing t shirts for black metal bands and have mutton chops for fuck's sake. I mean there's a difference between being into music that has nothing to do with your life style and making references to a religion you aren't a part of. Like you can sample a reggae or dub track in a track where it makes sense or whatever as an element in your tune but having random Rastafarian speech samples before a drop into some generic dungeon tune and constantly referencing religious elements that you aren't remotely involved in can just feel really corny.

Lol I was completely kidding about Mala. The rest of my post was serious though. I mean I probably never woulda thought about it if this was like 2008 or 2009 but after all these years hearing a new release with a "Jaaaahhh Rastafar-eye" sample right before the drop has just been so overplayed that it sounds pretty corny at this point in 2014.

to be fair any dungeon released in 2014 sounds corny

is bruce some sort of techno in joke

like he's just appeared out of nowhere

everyone like pev and surgeon are tweeting shit like 'say hello to bruce' and he's got some nothing ungoogleable name and there's that ben ufo post

i cant help but think some name producer is giggling away in his studio...............

maybe im paranoid

Dunno but this is good.

it's not doing that much for me, liked the b side though

been enjoying the recent livity remixes today and im not usually feeling techno

Wolf is 100% spot on and you're all being silly.

The cringe level of dropping a 'thou shall whatever' in an old white guy voice before a drop is himalayan and you all know that.

I've had Mauro Picotto - Lizard on loop for about 20mins now.

adrenochroming because it's monday?

Got me a nice fresh adrenal gland to chew on with my tea.

I went to see Mauro Picotto like 3 years ago and it was fun as fuck despite being full of bams.

Been going for a long time b4 dubstep

i always thought this about people hammering to jah samples

jah samples n shit if ur not rastafarianism = kinda appropriation since u dont believe in jah

Selassie samples on the other hand might be okay cos he was an actual guy and stuff


but then again its a major part of reggae music and if u really really love reggae music then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

liek what if Rodigan made some tunes with jah samples in

Good that you're back wub !

Forgot to change my ringtone back on one of my phones.

shitmats stuff was necesary not that it was a cure but still

not that fussed about new aphex twin. i should listen to it. but. hate getting disappointed by previously sick music people who should have called it a day
