-- Brief winter blues session

Brief winter blues session

Bought a chunk of dubstep tunes the other day, so figured I might as well throw them together in a mix. More aimed towards the home listener than the dancefloor this time. I got a bit self-indulgent and did some experimenting towards the end, but don't let that put you off. Enjoy, and have some proper speakers to do all the bass justice. Oh, and drop me some feedback if you want.

Loefah - The Goat Stare
DQ1 - Wear The Crown
Scuba - Sleepa
Elemental - Sparkle
Eric H - The Lights
Neil Landstrumm - Master Assassin
Wolf Man - Full Moon Murderers
Pinch & P Dutty - Alien Tongue
Digital Mystikz - Stuck
Coki - Officer
MRK 1 - Quiver
FusedMARc - Funny
Blackdown - Crackle Blues (Burial Mix)
Ryoji Ikeda - Data.matrix

hmmm. If you weren't such a brat, I'd be interested in hearing this.

oh ye

I shall hit this!


b0p!

great stuff, good tunes, good mixing & progression.

will be on mi mp3player for a time.

Yes, this is really good, Mr. Sand Leaper. I really like what's going on right around 28 - 31 minutes into the set. I think it's one track. It feels mysterious and seductive. And whatever is playing at 32:30 - 34+ has such a primitive feel to it. Gorgeous.

And 47-->51... Very cool. I would have slid this track playing into my ambient folder. So this is dubstep. Overall, the set kind of feels like techno ambient blues rolled into one.

I actually turned it on for background while I was going through my notes to put together a paper and ended up focusing more on the music than I did on my paper. So now, I've listened to your set three times and written no notes for paper. rawr

Thank you for sharing.

this is a very nice mix jan . got it yesterday and this is a style that i haven't really explored myself, but really enjoyed the tracks you picked and loved they way they all worked together...very nice!

The last track is indeed ambient, not dubstep. That's the bit where I got self-indulgent and experimented, since the track is actually quite mixable if you just listen carefully.

Cheers for listening all.

is dubstep anything like the cha-cha-cha?

Dude wtf is this? Haha it's wicked!

Nice mix! Great to be exposed to a new genre. I really haven't explored this sort of sound very extensively, but I like! Are there clubs where you live that play this? Is this club music? What sort of context are these beats meant for?

Cue me up!

Hey, I know! Jan Henrik, teach us what dubstep is. Write a paper defining and explaining dubstep, translate it into Danish, English, German, and Swedish and post it up! Pretend it's an assignment.

Pretend? It is an assignment, and it WILL be graded!

I've only listened to the first couple tracks and can already tell you this will be on repeat in my car.

Will come back later with more of a review.

Thanks!

Really liked this one Jan. Listened through it twice at work yesterday, it made HLA analysis oh-so exciting!

I'll give a more detailed review later.

No essay for j00! Well, unless you come over here and bribe me. Then I'll think about it.

As I mentioned, this mix isn't very cluboriented. In a club, it would probably sound more like this...

...and this is what a good night out at DMZ (London's perhaps biggest dubstep night) can sound like.



Here's a clip of Kode9 & Space Ape warming up @ the release party for Warrior Dubz, which was lots of fun:



And yes, I know you can't see shit in either of them. I've yet to find a Youtube video from Mass (the venue) which isn't 90% darkness. Here's a nifty dubstep documentary done by BBC (the tunes are of course a bit old by now, albeit massive anthems):



Finally, some helpful websites:

http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/ (all the reading you'll need on the subject really)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep (Dubstep on Wiki)
http://www.dubstepforum.com/ (I just signed up here, friendly people)
http://www.hyperdub.net/ (Home to Burial and Kode9. I really hate the term "cutting edge", but this label has released some stuff that deserve that label)

That should get you started.

Wow thanks for all the info! The videos were great! A friend was sending me some of this stuff a couple months ago and I had no clue what it was. Again, still a great mix. Some of the mixes are bit strange, but overally really cool mix from a neat genre I am just beginning to explore.

i don't feel the flow here as well as i do in your ambient and techno sets, but there were a few moments i particularily enjoyed:

• the track playing around minute 25 with a Berimbau featuring prominently.
  
• the vocal track around minute 40, you might find this weird, but i'd refer to it as psychedelic rock, absolutely beautiful track, please lemme know which one it is, and whether you got it from me

Originally posted by Psy-T edit: to be accurate, i did feel the flow in the first few tracks, but you lost me around minute 20 or maybe 25 and haven't 'regained' me since.

That's a shame, seeing as around the 30 minute mark imo is the best moment of the entire mix. You're gonna have to be a bit more specific regarding "didn't feel the flow" though. Is it because I didn't structure the mix well enough, or because the tunes weren't to your liking?

Anyway, the track around 40 mins is FusedMARc - Funny. I'd say it has less to do with rock and more to do with Massive Attack and late 90s trip hop, but ah well. You can DL it @ www.sutemos.net.

Cheers for the feedback

when i use the word "flow" in reference to a set it's always about the 'structure', or to be more specific, about the interactions between each pair of tracks in the set.

i use different words when i have a problem with the individual tracks in the set

thanks for the id and dl link

fucking sick set i love this kind of shit

props
