is there a city in uk that has a strong electronica scene going..something in terms of late 80'/ early 90's chicago? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not the chicago type of music though, that was just an example.. |
||||||||

Londons pretty explosive at the moment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gloucester is pretty banging |
||||||||
|

sheffield was the thing, in the early '80s. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean because most of the big idm guys moved there? i was thinking of some people who you could tell they're from the same scene by their music..hmm who did you have in mind from gloucester? |
||||||||
|

i was gonna say britain, but only because thats the only place i know in the uk other than london... i have no substantial evidence to back up my claim. sorry. i don't think i should've said anything to begin with. oh well, this has been a refreshing experience. so long. |
||||||||

|
|
No I mean there are bombs going off. Sorry for being off topic. |

|

Essex was a big electronic music rave scene, what with 'The Barn' where Aphex, Squarepusher and the Prodigy played. But no more :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

I did thing manchester first, but essex - prodigy / rave era, sheffield - warp LFO era etc, london D&B, grime i'm sure there's stuff going on everywhere to some extent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"sheffield - warp LFO era etc" can you name some other artists from that period? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
errr i'm not an expert but I think autechre are from there as well, check out the early warp compilations... I'm sure people here will have more detailed info... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and nightmares on wax... fila brazillia, def leppard... |

UK is pretty small, slower movements like electronica don't really have a solid base. I think Aphex Mu-Ziq and Vibert are all from Cornwall, I guess thats quite seminal but basically the answer is no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pulp are from there no, didn't they do a song as well "Sheffield, Sex City"? Cabaret Voltaire, Human League, Heaven 17... weren't they all at the EPICENTRE of Sheffield synthy new wave? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, cabaret voltaire are from sheffield indeed..dunno about those others as it should be about electronic music.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about some influental label..like warp only smaller? |
||||||||
|
|

I don't think there's anywhere with a strongly-defined electronica "scene" at the moment over here, i think it's really gone beyond all that anyway. The whole *cough*IDM*cough* thing is really too pluralistic to have a kind of HQ like it did back in the bleep days. The only thing i can think of is the whole grime thing, i suppose it's really starting to "blow up" and get mainstream exposure now, and this sentence makes me want to die, yeah. The free party sort-of-acid scene is still going strong down south, but then it's been doing its own thing for years, chris liberator and all that stuff, cheap drugs and spazzy dancing, sweeet. |

|
I love that acid techno type stuff... stay up forever, smitten records etc... blatant drug music, good fun. |
||||||||

its often said among friends here that "we dont get any good electronic music" and that "its all in the uk" and "we have to buy tickets to the uk" one day so that we can see "some good electronic music shows" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not in the UK at the moment and I do miss the freely avaibable quality electronic nights / gigs. Start yer own? |

trying to. in texas its not really liked by alot of people, the more complex stuff is always referred to as 'rave' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nautilis is from texas..and he's awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont really like nautilis all that much. beats are sort of weak too. i think my stuff is better than his. but yeah its cause of real cliche "IDM" like that that just keeps it shallow here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see..well, he's one of my favourite people on mu..are you an axolotl is awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only got "sketches", but it's one of the few generic-ish electronic albums i really enjoy. Well produced, well put-together, nice tunes, nice Beatzzz or whatever. Good album. I like nautilis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's a good one, but i prefer are you an axolotl..some awesome songs on that one..quite unique stuff really. |
