Electronic Suggestions

[Rez]

i think not only aphex twin, but the entire warp label. using RDJ as a *standard* isnt right though. RDJ has a style and technique to make music uniquely his own. using his humor and playground-type beats as a standard is only going to result you in being a big warp label whore.

and wreck, in terms of radio shows, which i also do, i also think of the audience, and also how it mixes. techno might as well have a hundred different sub genres to it, and instead of naming them, you can just tell by the sound. how are any "underground" songs going to mix in with crystal meth (i know they seem like my fave punching bag, and they are) without sounding like the DJ's gone haphazard?

growth. if you have a steady radio show, play what you know, and the musical mindset you know, and expand into new territory until you have enough for another whole show, and keep digging after that.

but this isnt even arguing about music anymore, it's leaned heavily into personal musical opinion of how a radio show should progress, ferchrissakes....

do what you want.

rdj is great but it'd be nice if he'd practice some quality control :/

me: "seriously if you don't know about underground electronic, don't do that kind of show. "

i meant exactly what you said rez. But if you really wanted to do an unknown artist show you could. I think non mainstream radio has an obligation to play unknown stuff. It's the only competitor against big bad corporate radio. Playing anything mainstream is a waste of airtime IMO.

as in 90% of that drukqs album?

a couple weeks ago i realized how incredibly good his "come to daddy" cd is. i dont listen to it enough.

I heard that Drukqs was stolen from his laptop or something like that. Anyone know?

yeah, the dumbass had an mp3 player at the airport that had well over 200 of his (probably better off) unreleased crap, and about 85 unreleased songs from squarepusher.

as soon as that was known a bunch of cunts decided to make their own music and say it was one of those lost aphex twin tracks, which was all hilariously covered by rdj himself in a press conference.
