Check Me Out…

My index finger is primed and I’m ready for an exclusive ringside session with the bloggersphere, where yet again the daily battle of downloads continues, with millions of geeks seeking out that heavy bass champion sound. For me, this search of sound has become routine habit, and is almost as addictive as spouting the ‘bloggerstar’ bullshit that comes with it. Any member of this dysfunctional community of freebies, will quickly recognise that a ‘blogger’ presumes them-self a critic of veracity and sincerity. One should also recognise we have particularly irritating ways of expressing ourselves, that often condone the misguided opinions of your dunce headed hosts on ‘Amateur Hour’. Stupidity however is not necessarily an inherent trait, therefore please listen closely…

Now just for a minute, I’m going to talk as a human. Please someone tell me why it has become an increasingly rarefied occasion to stumble upon truly stand out productions these days? I presume it is this unfortunate state of vulnerability to the next inter-bred amalgamation of bass, that has made defining what is actually ‘good’ and ‘bad’ a very confusing matter. The incessant buzz factor has a lot to answer for, where once again we jump aboard the hype-wagon with a severe lack of GPS; heading in a unbeknown direction, straight for a cluster cloud of unnecessary pseudo douche dance genres.

Now I hate to pinpoint the culprits, but the Dutch House genre has become a rather squeaky and tenuous affair to say the least – and would it be wrong to say this platter of Sidney Samsonite beef has become slightly over cooked? Well if your not sure, and as much as nothing is ever a sure thing – I can safely assure you it’s been cremated. So I ask all DJ’s and their disciples to stop succumbing to such over played recycled drivel, it makes no sense to strangle an already drowned cat. And truth be told – when there’s no sense, there’s no feeling.

I’m sure you’ve all gathered that hearing ‘Riverside’ on the radio really bugged me this morning.

Now I’m actually going to leave you with something really good, with the added bonus of being off the musical chain…

Meet sonic extraordinaire Timmy P. His credentials speak for themselves, with his most recent splashes in dense atmospheric tech-house receiving support from Steve Lawler, Tom Flynn, Matt Gill, Archie Hamilton & WorDa & Luca M. Timmy has currently been producing tracks on George Morel’s ‘Groove On Records’, where he’s been continually dishing out quality melodic climaxes for the dance floor; with tracks such as ‘Snare Blackout’ causing a nervous convulsion of techno twitter, with it’s glitchy vocal twists
causing reflexive wig outs on the floor. Catch him at all the notorious UK stomping grounds, with partner in crime ‘Ed Krywald’ who brings us disco hypnosis and rolling house grooves to the 1′s and 2′s. This one is set for big things…

    Hi,
    For me, all you talk about, is grooove. The bloggers doesnt know what is it. Groove = soul. Many producers doesnt know too. Pursue stops in the middle,after 3:00 is totally boring, but we had disco is criative, light, beautiful e so groovy. two songs with he same producer, but so diferent what they have inside. That´s the diference what is good and bad.
    thanks

    I agree with your commentary, and have also observed the lack of production quality found in the bloggy music world of today. At the same time however, I think it’s really astonishing to see the handful of artists and labels responsible for pushing the bland, repetitive genres of dance music and bringing them to a highly evolved sound. J-Wow’s “O Dedo” is a great example of this.

    I’ve could have told you Dutch house sucks over 5 years ago, imagine hearing that shit in every single club you visit. To me it was incomprehensible why all of a sudden the world jumped on that amusical, effect-chasing, unoriginal crap.
    The song structures are all the same and incoherent, plus that high pitched synth sound dominates every track. Ever been to a Afrojack set? Same cycle of break-bleepbleepbleblebleep-break for the entire set. Zero groove.

    Spot on Darkly, i too have sinned. Believing myself to be a “critic of veracity and sincerity.”… i will do ten hail marys :)

    I would say it’s mostly a result of overproduction. There is simply no barrier to making music these days, and due to the advent of the internet, any person who makes a substandard tune can send it out and get his mates to support it. There’s no “earning” fame any more. While the internet exposes us to a greater number of people and therefore allows us a greater opportunity to discover true talent, there will always be a greater number of mediocre producers out there, and by the same logic they will get their share of the limelight, whether they deserve it or not.
