I'm giving Deezer a go. The Spotify app can be a pain in the tits on Android, don't know if it's any better on ios.

 

But aye we'll see how Deezer goes. As soon as you sign up you can bring all your Spotify albums, artists and play lists across, so that bit is solved straight away.

Anyone into Morphine, the band well maybe the drug but mostly the band?

 

 

I just discovered Mark Sandman, the singer bass player, had a band called The Hypnosonics which is more of a groove sound than Morphine were.

I know you made this joke, but being on morphine is fucking class. I would have been a bag head in ww2

one for @alex - and any other middle aged junglists 

 

dunno if you've heard of sherelle. she's this young up and coming dnb/juke/footwoork dj. her boiler room set went viral and is well worth a listen

love how mental that crowd is going - to be 20 something again

 

she's about to start a month-long residency in brixton and i'm seriously tempted to go along and raise the average age by a decade or two.

Thing is with jungle (and it kind of suits me because I’m stuck in the 90s) no one is really doing anything people weren’t doing 25 years ago. The confines of the genre are partly the reason for this I guess.

the juke/footwork stuff is where it's moving forwards. sherelle is a genuinley exciting talent. 

 

the autonomic sound (half time dnb) that came about a decade ago via dbridge and instramental is worth checking out. shame it kind of dies a death. 

 

i agree there is a lot of standard dnb stuff which has barely progressed from back in the day but that isn't to say i don't like having a dad rave to the more mainstreamy stuff every few months.

That sample she was using is ancient though... I can't remember where it's from but it's been well used...

I went to a lot of rave events like Helter Skelter and clubs like Fabric either side of the millennium and the scene was staid even then imo. I remember turning to me mate I think at Helter Skelter NYE ‘98 and some big name (maybe Micky Finn) was playing and I said - I bet he plays “It’s Jazzy” next. They did and we just pissed ourselves laughing. I do check out a bit of new stuff and I like a lot of it but also feel like I’ve heard it all before.

fracture is worth checking out. this mix tuns into new dnb around 30 mins in (it's acid electro until then)

 

 

A quick listen and it’s a case in point. But I will have a proper listen later because it still sounds fucking lush

Me and a mate had an argument with Nihal in the vip area at leeds festival when we were young, culminating in my mate calling him a cunt and threatening to batter him.
