One thing I live for is finding strong evidence that behind the scenes, hip hop producers are listening to dance music for inspiration. When Timbaland uses that quasi dnb break in "Get Ur Freak On," or that filtered snare that seems to appear in half the work he did for Aaliyah, everything seems right in the world and a principle of general reciprocity is upheld, at least it seemsdqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16810739012115647240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147184.post-905746872003-03-12T02:41:00.000-05:002003-03-12T11:11:46.000-05:00
"It's a motherfucker, don't ya know,When they push that button, your ass got to go!"
New limited edition Yo La Tengo "Nuclear War" ep covers an obscure Sun Ra tune 4 different ways, and the original's evocation of Cold War paranoia is not lost on the current war-worried state of affairs. Creepy.

So I'm on a bit of a discovery mission, learning all about the early rave culture and acid house phenomenon in the UK, which in my view is so critical to everything we take for granted now about DJ's, music, partying, and pop culture in general, but at the time was quite revolutionary. The historical importance of the British "Summer of Love" as it's often called - dqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16810739012115647240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5147184.post-904685312003-03-10T13:12:00.000-05:002003-03-10T20:26:48.000-05:00Onto some of that new dark 'n' minimal dub 2-step bizness.

Birdman (aka Baby aka #1 Stunna from Cash Money Records) - "What Happened to That Boy" (featuring Clipse)
Clipse are still slingin' coke and Birdman's got that Southern drawl on lock, but it's the Neptunes beat that takes this one into uncharted territory.
