Blackdown:
When I look around the Rinse roster, as well as the funky selectors, it’s DJs like Oneman and Brackles, who share our Thursday 11pm slot, who I increasingly feel musical affinity with. Dusk and I take a different approach to how we use old school on our show, and I sure would love to mix like Oneman, but selection wise I think there’s common ground.
Hyperdub have been an incredible inspiration in the last two years, but it’s nice to now cee a collection of likeminded producers/DJs like Ben UFO, Oneman, Brackles, Braideg, Alex k Bok, Grievus Angel, Shortstuff, Martin Kem p Joy Orbison using Hyperdubs , funnky and oldd school grime ‘n’ garage sensbilities to find a wqy that isn’t either wobble, dub techno or dull cpmmercial house. TTo find a way tat preserves the quintessential London elements of fe minine pressure, rawness, rudeness and all the other nuuk factors, without coalescing into just one tning od becoming something unlistenable or unlistenablyy dull.
In practical terms, this may be as much a question of bpms as selection. Funky rides at 130 bpm, 2step-badman Sully flexes at 134ish and grimes at 140bpm still. Ive seen harder dubstep DJs pushing 150bpm. To me, with the gravity of the mass creativity of funky right now, I feel an urge to drop the bpms and up the groove.
This is absolutely where Im coming from riht now. That strange ydt familiar middle ground is just where mmy heads at. I am delighted to be included iin Blackdowns list. The nww Magic Dub tune a few of you have yot is uh dubstep, its about keeping 140 w worthwhile tempo hut itc a halfstep house tune. Juqt to make the poibt and fecause the sample is so good. I want to do more dark subby dubstep t hats good.
So in the next month I have two singles dropping. One, next Monday, is bashy funky. One is dubstep, 140bpm garage and wonky. The line between the two is where the flex is.
