Is it that one love one? Cos that looks fucking sweet

[leah]

even better!

and for cold weather, cold weather...

"Cold Weather 1973. Perry was no stranger to Britain’s delightful climate, urging the cold to rally beneath the Rasta banner – one of the first times he had voiced such a sentiment himself. Cute, steady and mellow. An early recording at the Black Ark, perhaps with some input at Chalk Farm Studios, London."

this and a smoke cheers me right up on a drizzly winter day

NO CHUMPSTEP!

it's funny cos i don't think the word chump has been in common usage since about 1950

have you used them, or do you know anyone who has?

[baldmosher]

Yup, I took 5 of my own shirts with me to Glade but only wore the baldmosher™ one.

I'm wearing my favourite one right now:



The dude who runs it is called Craig and if you have an odd request (such as requiring a transparent background on a coloured image/shirt, see above, or a different font typeface, see below) he will always accommodate your request if you email him the specifics.

The 'whole mole of yay' (yay x 6.022 x 10²³) shirt that Twist figured out didn't get worn which was a shame.

There are other people who do this (and often cheaper) but I like Craig, he's very accommodating.

[leah]

thought as i posted that it might be the world's silliest question

i'm half wearing a bedspread

My thoughts on the dubstep at Glade are as follows....

1. Some of the dubstep I heard was boring, cheesy crap. But there was some amazing stuff, too.
2. I agree that a whole day of Dubstep on a sunday is not very good for Breaksday, but I also think the Breaksday should stop just playing new school breaks all the time. It's just soooooooo boring in that tent. I can't believe the breaks crew were complaining about Meat Katie's set, cos they had the gumption to play something other than formulaic new school electro breaks. FFS.
3. I though Overkill was massively better this year, through having a greater mixture of stuff. I agree there was a bit too much Dubstep, but there was also some amazing electro and techno which is usually sidelined in favour of breakcore.
4. While Dubstep has taken off in some towns, eg Bristol, it doesn't have a big enough following to have its own stage, IMO. I honestly think a Dubstep/DnB/Hiphop stage might be the way forward for the Glade. Or they should make the Breaksday more eclectic, allowing Japanese/German Broken Beats, Good Dubstep, Maybe even Grime and Hip hop, Jungle, Ragga.....

[digital.atmosphere]

what dubstep producers were at glade this year?

[ouzodave]

What's Dubstep? Maybe i should reach for my eartrumpet and trumpet at the same time

[shakyjane]

Breaksday should stop just playing new school breaks all the time

are you kidding? Okay so, I went in first on the Friday for Peter Paul and whoever was after him (lady waks and klaus hill never showed up) - and they played about 5 breaks tunes between them.

I go in later, I get Noisia, phat as, but erm, about 1/2 dnb.

I go in later and I get the plumps, erm, playing half a set of electro house.

I go in the next day - pretty sure Flore was on in the morning, and that was dnb for what I saw.

And then Drummatic Twins, pretty sure their 2nd or 3rd tune was 4 to the floor and I buggered off, same with Stanton Warriors.

Now I'm looking at the lineup, and I'd hazard a guess that Elite Force, Rico Tubbs, Andrea Lai and Madox played about 3 breaks tunes each, probably more for elite force.

Then a whole sunday of Dubstep.

So who did that leave for me? Beat Assassins - who were awesome. Deekline & Jay Cunning I got too frustrated with the sound and left (besides losing more & more respect for deekline). Ben & Lex from what I saw played breaks. Quest & Ken Mac & Aquasky (although I missed em apart from 5 mins of Quest, was sounding good tho). Ctrl Z were awesome too.

I say they need more breaks tells so much about a scene when the artists are not playin the music. I have enough decent breaks to play for a whole weekend, so perhaps next year they should just bill me.

[nonvio]

maybe to much dubstep indeed...but we don't get this style in Belgium, so no prob for me actually
dj distance did the trick for me but indeed too much basic dubstep tunes from some artists
Shame...

[uberland]

I honestly have trouble understanding what dubstep is. Sorry maybe I am slow.

Anyone remember when the NME and the people who churn out never ending dance compilations invented "speed garage" in the 90's? No. It's house. It always was house. I still hate it and re-labelling it won't change that.

[buzzingtalk]

in that case then, dubstep is garage without the added 2step feel. but theres no dub! INFURIATING FLASE ADVERTISING

if your lucky some clever producer adds in a rodigan sample and calls it DUBstep but NO if i put a roddy sample in something it does not make it DUB

/rant over

but yes. dubstep is pretty much garage but with a ketamine bassline instead of an orange hooch mc hyping you up.

nah I wouldn't have said there was too much.

I dubstep and personally would have liked to see a bit more, BUT I think there was a healthy balance struck between all styles of music. It's always going to be hard to please everyone.

All the dubstep was on during the day, I can't think of any dubstep artist that played after 6pm. There was plenty of time for 'havin it' after that, and besides- you *can* do just fine to dubstep if you open your ears and mind a bit.

I would love to see a dub/dubstep/grime/bassline/hip hop tent but it's never going to happen at Glade really is it? especially with them already down sizing. Besides, I'd never leave that one tent!

I really hope there's dubstep on the Sunday again next year as psychadelic dubstep sunday has become something of a tradition for me.
