Resident Advisor, Admit Andrew Ryce Is Finished

My review of the latest @andrewryce review

For his latest contribution to Resident Advisor, Andrew Ryce has chosen to cover the exciting new Robyn & Royksopp collaboration “Do It Again.” After reading the review all I could think to myself was “Never Again.“

Robyn and Röyksopp want you to think of them as a band, and not just collaborators. They’ve worked together before (“The Girl And The Robot,” “None Of Dem”), but their more…

It's been some time (Stevie Hyper D, 'ard turn)

SO, in order to get things moving on here after a pretty hectic few months settling into the new place in SE14 I thought I'd post a round-up of some of the stuff I've been digging/doing/skimming/skipping:

Recently rinsing NTS all-day, everyday (office etiquette allows for 1 earbud, which has been a blessing) and loved the Stevie Hyper D doc on the This City Plays show a month ago. It was produced entirely by Matthew Gale and was broadcast on Rinse at the end of last year garnering positive reviews at the time and wide circulation. From what I can gather this is Matt's first radio doc of this scope but the narrative, consistency and depth is all there. The interview recordings are great - especially those with Anita, Stevie's sister and fellow MC - and give a huge insight into the life and evolution of both Stevie and the hardcore scene which he helped shape and invigorate. The broadcast on NTS is followed by an excerpt from one of Stevie's shows and is a great introduction to his style and a tantalising window into the vaunted and much mythologised early days of jungle.

This recording is essential (don't think it's an overstatement here..) listening for all those revisiting and digging the weaponised jungle/DnB tropes of the past and an opportunity to find out a lot more about the "golden age of 'ardcore" and the personal stories of love, friendship and ambition that made the scene.

For a broader discussion of the current 'ard-turn check out Andrew Ryce's article up on RA at the moment, "Amen, brother: How jungle inspired a new generation", or Simon Reynold's extensive exploration catalogued here or Blackdown's musings from a few a years back.

When those beats fall into place on the title track, nothing else matters for the next 30 minutes, until the crackle and fizz of "Ashtray Wasps" finally fades away. Then you put it on again. And again. And again.

...It would be wrong to subtract araabMUZIK’s own considerable talent from the equation: even when dealing with other people’s material as on Electronic Dream, his ear pummeling hip-hop beats that nevertheless place as much emphasis on melody is rare in his world, and his emergence is well-timed, taking advantage of a mainstream rap scene obsessed with the shittiest of lowest common denominator music. Electronic Dream is merely a way to take this obsession to the extreme, literalizing the hints at trance that so many prominent producers, rappers, and singer succumb to now.
