Heh I gotta send Zac some more of my stuff for Cosmology, you should check out Constrobuz's stuff honestly. Between him, Hucci, and Tropkillaz had a bunch of great stuff to not leave my ipod. http://constrobuz.bandcamp.com/

Argh one of my irks then when a label or artist does that when there's an established artist or label already with a name, just gets confusing!

I feel horrible not recognizing most of this list, not buying tunes from sites or ignoring a scene for a couple months seems to leave you lost.

I'm a squarepusher fanatic but since ultra I can't bear any of his new stuff.
It's soulless and akward and despite the really interesting concept with robots and programming etc - it felt completely lifeless to me.
It's sad and it's the same with Venetian and Bogdan Raczynski nowadays.
I do like stuff however and hope it does change

This really. Don't know many of the names mentioned tbh... Feel like I'm more and more lazy searching for new stuff. I mainly stick to "old" stuff and lots of mixes.
That Epoch tune name is absolutely hilarious, gotta check this out
Looking at my Discogs purchases from this year, the only albums released in 2014 that I've bought so far are Moodymann and Congi.
The Moody one is sick, was a bit disappointed by the Congi one tbh.
Oh and gotta mention the BPDR Bass Jazz album - almost forgot about that as it's digi only. Killer album this one.
