The "wink wink" Thread 2010: This Time It's Personal

All it really takes is enthusiasm for bass and breakbeats, and the motivation to move your body accordingly. If you've got that, you'll probably get into BassNectar.
The best place to start would probably be Mesmerizing the Ultra or Underground Communication, although Cozza Frenzy is absolutely your best bet if your tastes tend towards the heavier and slower side of dance music. It's not exactly "dubstep" but the comparison could be made because it's just so big.
Anyone who shits on BassNectar just proves themselves unable to have honest fun. It's one thing to listen to it and be like "meh, this is too (heavy/indulgent/politically explicit/whatever) for me, I'll stick with my (guitar-based/singer-songwriter/shitty trance/whatever) music," but if you try to state that BassNectar's music is somehow objectively lower quality than really just about anything (or that you can only enjoy it if you exhibit some sort of objectionable quality), all you're really saying is "I desperately need to feel as if I'm cooler than everyone else in order to enjoy myself when I go out" and there's nothing attractive about that at all. If, on the other hand, you think of a party as a place where the main objective is to throw down and dance, this music is your shit.
Thanks for the Handsomeboy Technique, Wolfgang Gartner, and Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve! I'm looking forward to checking them all out.

Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I'm purposely not liking it to feel cool. In fact, I feel uncool for 'not getting it'. I have been going out and having fun and dancing my face off for years and have never encountered this genre of music because to me it's kitsch but if it's your thing have at.

Went over the streaming version on the Norman Records website and it is legit.
Since it's not out for a month, I'll just say that so far what I'm hearing is better than Quaristice (which for the most part was a collection of vignettes), and probably the best thing Booth/Brown have done in a long time. As far as sound goes the closest thing I can compare it to is LP5. There is a more ambient melodic element to the music that's been missing for a long time, and honestly I never thought they'd come back to this kind of sound. Needless to say it is very welcome. "known1" is standing out on first listen.

Just a mixtape, but pretty much fire. Definitely worth a listen.
