Blogariddims 10: An England Story Nice in concept, extra nice in execution. As they put it, <\/p>\n Blogariddims 10 is a special extended edition from Heatwave. ‘An England Story’ traces a lineage of UK MCs from 1984-2006 covering reggae, dancehall, hip hop, grime, jungle and more…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n If you’re still not signed up for Blogariddims<\/a>, you’re sleepin. A solid series of mixes so far. And guess who’s slated to deliver the next one?<\/p>\n \/\/ .. \/<\/p>\n A couple quick non-conf observations from this weekend:<\/p>\n Friday night, I linked up with my good good people, Amy&Ron, and we went to see Jesse Saunders, the “Originator” of house<\/a>, do his thing. He was great. A real pro who clearly loves the music he’s playing and making people dance. Two main obs: <\/p>\n 1) Although what Saunders was spinning could conceivably be described as a “narrow” slice of house, it’s remarkable how much stylistic range that can encompass. <\/p>\n 2) Fitting I found myself flitting backforth and sideways through embodied states that seemed also to draw from a wide range of styles, despite their overarching, er, EDM-ness. It made me think, as I watched myself mimic moves I’d copped from ravers<\/a>, clavers<\/a>, salseros, and, um, dancing queens, that dancing about music<\/a> is far from imprecise as representational relations go. (Though one may need to reconcile oneself with the orthogonal, as usual.)<\/p>\n \/ . \/\/ .<\/p>\n
