Anybody heard anything by these guys? Any good? Anyone definitely buying this EP? Warp are (obviously) giving this release some hype, describing it as "a blistering blend of hip hop, ragga jungle and the kind of crunchy electronics pioneered by Autechre. NYC's TEAM SHADETEk have filled up 'Burnerism' with the energy and dynamism of their live shows and the result is very exciting!" Are you greeting it with open arms? Or a healthy dose of scepticism? |

yeh.. that struck me as a pretty hyped up description that woulod make me have a listen in a record shop at least.... |

Heard a mix they did recently called 'wsht' and I think I heard some of their solo stuff before... quite forgettable overall, but I'll check this out anyway. These days I kind of get the impression that warp are losing their touch and realise it. |

They did a pretty funny track where they did the lyrics to the Ruff Ryders anthem in text-to-speech over a cheesy fm recreation of the bassline. Then some intricate high-freq percussive fiddling over it. It was pretty interesting, but I would have to hear more of their stuff to formulate an opinion on them. |

Some of this dancehall/ragga related stuff that Warp and Rephlex are releasing is good. And it's nice to see artists going back to plunder the sound sources that spawned jungle over ten years ago. After all, ideas are only ever reiterated; it's the question of how well it's done that's truly important. As it's been quite some time since the whole Sheffield/techno/electronica thing kicked off, it's nice to see that the artists and labels have all got into a certain (very well established) sound together; they seem genuinely excited about it. Like when you and your friends first get into a certain style of music; you all get excited about it, save up money to buy records, share mixtapes, read up on the history of the sound. It's also nice to see the labels changing their output a bit whilst still maintaining an overall style. It would have been sad to see Warp get onto such a winner in the early nineties and then not be able to expand their tastes beyond that and evolve a bit. I just wonder how much of their output is going to be dedicated to this kind of thing, and how long for.. |

listening to the tracks on bleep 'hard dragon' seems to be the stand out track living up to its hype (comparison with pushbuttonobjects and ae). only track with memorable rhythm/melody imo. the other tracks sound more like they were made by a hiphopspider on drugs. you hear the hiphop-beats but it doesnt make much sense. |

why does it have to make sense? |
||||||||
|

it doesn't. i just dont like most of the tracks and why thats the case doesnt have to make much sense either. |

shadetek is cool. They have there own label that they have released some stuff on. Most of there releases are highly limited. The swoon ep was mentioned by the NMB allstars as one of the best 12" of 2002 in the boomkat charts section. I think that one is limited to 300 copies and every copy has different art and is numbered. I think most of the shadetek releases are still available through there site. They also have a 3" cd on the nonresponse label but I never found it. There releases that I have are ok, some what minamal but I have always assumed there saving there finest moments for warp, so I guess we will see. |

The new EP sounds pretty cool. Prefuse-ish. You get a sense that they could do a bit more with the tracks, though. |

Well, I'll tell ya one thing, this record sure sucks cock if you play it at the wrong speed! I'll get back to you on what I think about it at the right one once I get through it again... |
