Shutta is such an impressive tune I haven't heard much like this.

"There’s no ‘musicianship’ in my sound, that’s the enemy of my tunes"
Im speachless, there is so much in that interview that both rings true and completely inspires.
Plus that photo of the empty room on the myspace page is dark as fuck.

"what if the late 90s London 2-step inhuman-feminine sound had continued to mutate without devolving into the sullen dead ends of grime and dubstep?"
I think that's nonsense, but other than that a great article.
The entry below that on 'reflexive impotence' is extremely interesting too.. think I'm gonna bookmark k-punk.

funny to see k-punk come into the dubstep forum. for those who don't know he was part of the ccru with mister kode9. if you have some free headspace it's certainly worth checking k-punk on the regular. you'll soon see that recurring flaws in his arguments but next level writings nonetheless.

that's an interesting proposition, no? taking out the value judgement i mean.

It did continue to mutate surely... into dubstep and grime

surely. but i think mark's point is, in the context of the burial piece, an imagination of what ukg could have become. i think the implicit view is that dubstep and grime hijacked it, which is obviously highly refutable.

Yeah, but I think it'd be a mistake to see Burial's album purely as a continuation of ukg... there's a few big dubstep references in there - would the album have been made without the influence of early DMZ/kode 9 pieces?

Ben, I think the influence of what garage did actaully become is obviously in Burial's music.
But what is so interesting and important about it is he is actualising or gesturing towards some post 1999 counterfactuals that were always tantalisingly near to hand in a lot of 2-step but in reality were never grasped, for all sorts of reasons.
Leaving aside K-punk's value judgement about dubstep, which is a matter of opinion, he is right that the possible course we are actually experiencing - dubstep - is an exciting, but often quite narrow exploration of the possibilities of the jungle>garage legacy.
The genius of Burial is his ability to articulate that which always seemed so close, but so far, in a lot of 2-step.

I rarely "agree" with Mark, but I usually think he's brilliant.
