Dissensus is the comment box...EDIT: More thoughts on Burial and kind words on my post from k-punk.k-punk: I actually, genuinely can't believe how good this album is...

Too often, high profile mix CDs seem to come up short in reproducing the excitement of their scene. Whatever gains they make in sound quality and mixological precision are typically muted in the anechoic confinement of the studio. Music made for clubs and pirate radio can't help but sound a bit lonely when the audience is amputated from the mix, especially in genres that rely so heavily on the

Two substantial bits by me in another Riddim.ca cross-post. First a review of Appleblim and Shackleton on the second Skull Disco release. The pair really start to diverge on this one with Shackleton further developing his rhythmic density alongside ecstatic Turkish and Ethiopian wind instruments, while Appleblim goes to the core of half-time minimalist dubstep. The second item is an interview

Paul: Am I right that you've recently moved back to Bristol? Locals there like Pinch, Thinking and others have helped build what's probably the largest dubstep scene outside of London. How do you see the Bristol scene shaping up? Have you been playing out since you got back, or you focussing more on making tracks at the moment?

Again from the pages of Wired (Cell-Phone Rappers Spit Grime ). This time a piece on mobile phone use in the grime scene. It starts out quite awkwardly, as it sets the stage and gets us all up to speed on "spitting," "hype" and the rest of the obligatory terminology. This lickle bit doesn't help things much:Friends hang out outside, "spitting in groups around the streets," said music producer

June 16, 2005Sylvie and I got into London at 7:30 AM without having slept a wink on the plane. After a lackluster breakfast we managed a three or four hour snooze but I didn't feel any better when I got up. We were determined to meet up with Marc and head over to FWD>> that night but I felt like I might collapse on the way. Catching a bit of Wiley through the crackles on Rinse FM with the

If you haven't already checked Kid Kameleon's guest appearance at Gutterbreakz you should head on over. Excellent piece on neo-ragga junglism with a heavy emphasis on the Toronto axis and an equally stellar mix to go along with it. That, plus being nearly at the end of my MA thesis on Toronto jungle put me in the mood to post the city's all-time jungle anthem - "Dub Plate Pressure" by Mystical

Cross-posted to riddim.caNorth American dubstep heads live on message boards and internet radio. If you thought was it difficult to find grime on this side of the Atlantic, try finding these tunes. A typical pressing is between 200 and 500 copies, and that's if the track ever makes it beyond dubplate status. Don't even bother with p2p - it ain''t there. But one man has got the hookup. Joe

Should have mentioned earlier that Pearsall has been holding it down over at Riddim.ca while I struggle through the final stages (the part of where you have to write a lot of stuff that you're already tired of thinking about) of my MA work.

Thinking about the kode9 excerpt, psychoacoustics and recent rantings about cannibalism, I dug up this old piece that I made myself a few years ago, during a static period in my musicmaking and life in general. Nary a beat in sight here. Probably won't appeal to the vast majority of people.At the time I was doing a lot of late-night listening to microstoria, number stations and EVP recordings.

What's your attitude towards the free trading and distribution of MP3s?I see the internet as a big, mutating sample bank. The implications of this will manifest itself as something like an "idoru", a Japanese virtual pop star. There'll be a self-propagating epidemic of digitalised audio, rather like a computer worm, with bits of itself distributed across many network computers. With the infinite

You're talking about things I haven't done yetI went to bed planning this post about Goldie, graffiti and teenaged memories of London. "Yes, nice one," I told myself as I dozed off. So I was more than a bit surprised this morning when I found that Spen78 had assembled something remarkably similar while I slept. Scenius at work, innit.This photo is from the May 1991 issue of Hip Hop Connection

K. This is making me happy right now. I've been playing this fragment of a DJ K-Swift radio rip over and over today, interspersed with some Favela Funk and Dizzee's "Hoe." There's definitely a mashed up, post-break thread linking the three. If anyone can identify anything being played here I'd be very interested. More soon, I hope.mp3 - DJ K-Swift Radio Rip - 92Q Baltimore

An exciting and timely bit of news from Nick Gutterbreakz regarding a forthcoming Bizzy B compilation on Planet Mu à la the recent Remarc re-releases. Not only that, but Bizzy has a new Science E.P. on the way in the coming months (see stolen image). I'm not sure when Nick found out about this - whether he had a little bit of Bizzy in his customized Mu grab bag, or whether our exchange

The dark before Christmas. Our third installment from the dark side of things past. Three licks from the one like the Bizzy B. I've been saving this one until I had the time and the server space to do the man justice. The other day I missed out on a pretty wicked Bizzy 12" ("Dubplate Wars" b/w "Obsession") from Brain records as the bidding quickly got a too rich for my PayPal account. However

Prophecised The switch is complete. Let the unrestrained mp3 blogging begin - after I finish this last batch of work. Until then, and in honour of my newfound server space, I've got a high bandwidth junglist treat cued up for the massive (Small massive, anyway. I put it at about 24). This hour and a half set was recorded the first week of January 1997, just at the tale end of that magical

I'm in the process of upgrading my web hosting service at the moment. So mp3s will be down for a day or two. Photos might briefly disappear too. I noticed the Tango and Ratty tune is still pretty popular so don't worry, it will be back up and I'll have loads of room for new stuff. Cheers to everyone who's been visiting and downloading.

Before Andy C was doing whatever he does now, he made this bad-trip anthem as the other half of Origin Unknown. Despite the 'long dark tunnel' theme, this tune breaks from the aural claustrophobia that characterized a lot of its Darkside illk. The sound is wide - less sealed in a box; more lost in a void. Swimming bells with announcements and a lazy bass that might just slurp up any loafers

Only Cannibalism unites us. Socially. Economically. Philosophically. The unique law of the world. The disguised expression of all individualisms, all collectivisms. Of all religions. Of all peace treaties. Tupi or not tupi that is the question. Against all catechisms. And against the mother of the Gracos. I am only interested in what’s not mine. The law of men. The law of the cannibal.- Oswald de

Right. So winter's here and we've entered that long dark tunnel between October and March. There's practically no sun and the freezing rain is about to turn to snow. Worse still, the weather won't be this awesome again for a good four months. Bloody freezing hell. So to make things a little more fun (or torturous - I'm not sure yet), I'm starting my first thematic mp3 series. Personal

I'm stumped. Where are people in Toronto getting their Grime fix? I'm assuming it's mostly downloaded stuff. I've downloaded practically everything I've got. Haven't tried Soulseek yet because setting it up under OS X seems to require a bit of alchemy. But in terms of buying records, mix tapes or discs - is there any place even in Southern Ontario that has much of anything? The last couple

AforP enters the world of mp3-bloggery today. However, this is more of a test. Posts will be sparse until I move back to Laughing Squid and expand my server space. I won't ever be as regular or thorough as the excellent Spoilt Victorian Child, but I'm hoping to assemble some themed posts over the next few months that let me share bits of my music collection and maybe get some discussion

Overloaded with work right now. I'll be back to posting regularly sometime in December. Until then, the one or two people who read this can find me at Dissensus. And until I get a links section up, here are some of my current faves... loveecstasycrime GUTTERBREAKZ The Pinocchio Theory Chantelle Fiddy's World of Grime And always...

I ended up writing a very lenghty reply to Robert's comment on the frist Agit-tronics post, so I thought I'd just put it on the main page. Robert said... "Paul, what do u think of the idea that making sound for its own sake IS a political statement?" --- Good question. I would say it definitely can be depending on the circumstances. But in and of itself, the act of making sound is not

So Freedom will be on the rampage for another four years. I'm hoping that, at the very least, we get some good Agit-tronic music out of this mess. More DJ/Rupture and Mutamassik. Muslimgauze clones. Go Croatan! More capture of code: politicized relicks of the violently inert; new mash up scenes built on something more substantial than retro cred; homemade videos. Funny not dour. ADF, PE

I'm not sure what the blogging etiquette is re: posting entire articles that are available elsewhere. However, this is an excellent piece that deserves to be widely seen. Plus, I haven't got loads of time for posting original material at the moment. So what follows is an excellent essay by Jace Clayton on diasporic breakbeats, authenticity tropes, and making politicised Arabic-influenced
