damn sexy baby
Say thats damn sexy baby..
Speakin of sexy.. lets talk music. Here's a few tracks I'm diggin lately. Lately my sound ( the sound of me what i like etc ) has been drifiting around lately. I'm getting back into some of what they call nuskool...
"Nu Skool Breaks is a form of breakbeat. The term was invented in 1998 when djs adam freeland, rennie pilgrem and tayo played at a new night called "friction" in london. However nowadays many prefer to use the term breakbeat. Back then they played dark and filthy breaks tracks, downpitched drum'n'bass and fresh sounding electro and basically started the scene from scratch. Nowadays producers like ils, koma&bones, tipper, BT and many more are amongst the most profilic producers who push the sound forward. Nu Skool Breaks clocks at 130 - 140 bpm, has a breakbeat rhythm and melts elements of techno, electro, drum'n'bass (basslines mostly) into a danceble, accessible music that has quickly gone round the world."
but I also like Funky Beats..
"Breakbeat with a funkier edge and more danceable rhythms, often using retro 70s samples and stabs. Funky breaks are perhaps best typified by some of the music of Fat Boy Slim. Less rockin’ and noisy than big beat and with greater emphasis on traditional funk elements such as a slapping/popping bass and funky guitar stabs. Old school funk vocal samples are also quite common. "
and I always love a good Big Beat track..
"Not surprisingly, big beat is a heavy, beat-driven variant of breakbeat. Made more for the dance floor than the Barcalounger, this hard and sometimes noisy style often uses breakbeat-oriented rhythms, fat basslines, many heavily manipulated electronic elements, and media samplings. Big beat can be considered a fusion of rock and breakbeat that focuses on beat permutations and often brings in effected guitar. If the style is called chemical beats, reference is being made to the Chemical Brothers (a defining player in this genre) and includes a generous helping of acid. Other major bands are the Propellerheads (although they often stray into disco/dance, hip hop, and funky breaks), and Fat Boy Slim (also known for his funky breaks). Big Beat tries not to take itself too seriously and places a lot of value on fun and rule-breaking. "
whatever ya call it, i like it.. so let's begin..
- why? the deep electro-cosmic-speak-n-spell vibe. I really like it. I'd love to hear it on the dance floor, good house thumper here.
- why? its got that dark under sound i like, nice breakdown in the middle of it, then it gets back to work.. great progressive house tune
- why? more on the bleepy sound of beats but nice, its slow start makes for good jammin later on in the track, it appeals to old school industrial experimental side of me, the best part of this track, is the moog or syth solo section at the end of the track.. i love that sound
- why? this track has been on the scene for awhile, probably overplayed but I always like it when I hear it, it actually has a beat that mixman software ships with, ive used this bass line myself on a few songs ive crafted.. in fact i bet you could remake this track in mixman, trance progressive love fest here
- why? i love the energy of this track, this song takes me right back to QuakeCon 1, it takes me to ID software, the glory days of Quake and all the fragging that occured afterwards, an utter deathmatch track, it takes me back to early days of ADV FILMS, it takes me back to margs, dancefloors and good times... pure big beat
- why? this track is from Sasha's Airdawndagger cd, its a great mood piece that slowly builds, its like right outa some ghost in the shell anime experience, very blurry, moody, developing, evolving, spooky, then subtle awareness, beats arrive, the picture gets painted, get the cd on amazon, u will like
- why? well i have no idea who this is, sorry came off ripcast, but I like it.. the is more nuskool break beat sounding, more on the darker side of nuskool though. i guess its the beat.. the boom... boom.... boom.... booom.... boom
- why? another unknown. this is a pure nuskool sound. and theres some lyrics to boot :P sort of.. a great track, i have many an animation looping in my head when i hear tracks like this with their fat loud sound...
- why? its another unknown, probably from the guy that did A8, in which case i'd like to know who it is, cause id buy their cd... great sound here..
- why? probably more on the funky side of break beat.. lotta groove magic in this one, its got more of a fat boy slim sound for sure in it.. very zesty and groovolicious though..
That's whats spinning on the floozdecks. Nighty nite.
