Shpongle - Around The World In A Tea Daze [Ott Remix] (Unofficial HD Music Video)

*I'll be back when it'll let me post URL's

Ott is one opf the big dogs, in my opinion !
He put out a great cd a couple years ago; I have it but forgot the title.
Here's 'Squirrel & Biscuits ' from it (don't miss the 2nd half ! from 3:47 on )

I've had the one you noted for a while .... good stuff !
I do like STS9; hadn't heard of them. Nice to see rock
and electronic together , updated. So much of the hard trance,goa, psych just annoys me , and I don't like house , so I have trouble finding what works for me .

My grandson (15) was obsessed with Dubstep last year , and I like some of that because it's basically updated reggae/dub music, but he didn't know that.

Sound Tribe Sector 9 is a really unique group. Can't recall exactly where I came across them or what they sound like so much, but it made an impression on me as being quality, highly original and novel stuff.

Dar interesting songs, do you play the guitar in those yourself? Your late friends music is interesting too, I like it. Builds nicely, reminds me a bit of Hybrid for some reason.

It boggles my mind why people don't like house, but another guy I was hanging out with awhile back was completely anti-house too. Different strokes i suppose, which is fair enough. Lot of house is boring and repetitive, but I always enjoy dancing to good house, breaks, dnb or anything with some groove or funk to it.

Plenty of trance I do enjoy but usually find it hard to dance to for whatever reason.

As luck would have it I came here to post some house tunes, lol.

Anyways, thanks for the replies all, love to hear some new music. Have yet to check out Bill Nelson so that's next on my music forums threads to do list.

Artifact is a great one...Offered Schematics Suggesting Peace is amazing..has some of the classics that show lovers want to see when they go to a show..

Now they are more of a banger/midi sound...still do those songs though. The bass player left which was somewhat of a lynch pin...wow..when that bass is turned up...so good..

First album...completely insane..I cant believe they are playing that stuff w/looping in all the electronics..they do this live...WHILE they are playing instruments..transitions are incredible.

Seasons 1/2..as well...

Peaceblaster...has good moments, but a little meh...as well as When The Dust Settles...those are later albums.

If you want a playlist of seeing any of this stuff live..good clips- in other words.. check out my playlist..My name is soundtribejunkie on youtube. There's nothing like seeing them live.
......... well...still won't let me post links even though I've had more than 15 posts..

That Ott track is crunchy indeed...I went through a huge trance/house phase-more of the stuff I liked was Sasha/Digweed/Oakenfold-saw those too

Dubstep can get a little much when it's not used right..Somebody I'm into listening to right now is Grammatik...sooo talented...damn..wish I could post a link...grrr...anyway...he uses SOME...he just slips it in there..ha..He uses lots of samples..motown-ish...hip-hoppy sound-and with amazing drops. Check out the Best Of Grammatik on YT...The album cover with a guy that looks like Jerry Garcia smoking a big joint...also there are many full albums on there of his to listen to..

When I clicked the above URL it gave me an error-saying it doesn't exist..ha...I'll look it up :)

Hybrid is pretty intense...like Justice to me. If you like the Dnb stuff-check out the earliest STS9 albums...that's what they started off as/heavily influenced. Drummer is amazing.

Love talking about all this music I love...not too many people get it. -_-


Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ***.

He's another favorite-Could always count on him saying exactly what he meant..haha.

Big Sasha fan, saw him and Digweed on their Northern Exposure tour years ago and Sasha's set hit all the right notes. Had me moving for sure. Suppose it can be a fine line b/t house and trance, or a bpm or two. Airdrawndagger is a great Sasha album and I still even quite enjoy what he's producing these days.

As for Hybrid, yeah I could see that. Case in point I sent the album Soundsystem 01 to a friend of mine and apparently (allegedly) he had a ufo sighting at a peak moment in the album while listening to it and having a smoke outside.

Love Wider Angle and that album quite a bit. Here is the full album in question, highly recommended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDSRAUoQ9p0

No guarantees to see ufo's while listening lol, it's never worked for me anyways, not that I've attempted listening to it in that capacity with that in mind.

Has some Lisa Gerrard in there and quite a few other choice tracks, it's a continuous mix album of other artist's tracks. Find it a curious coincidence that he saw a ufo while listening to a 'Hybrid' album. Seems appropriate.

Hernan Cattaneo & Danny Tenaglia are releasing new mixes soon, plus there is a new mix from GU - Hamburg - by Solomun too.

Yes..saw them @ Bonnaroo in '07...played until 5am I was exhausted...and we camped in BFE...NOT a good walk back..ha...some guy offered us pizza...haha..too tired to even eat it

Sasha's website used to have a mixer on it that was fun to play with..

And yes...appropriate..an experience of a lifetime to see a UFO..Had so many dreams about seeing them...totally expansive-them coming-and the greatest thing ever..I digress..

I will check out what you put up there..the link

And Dar-listened to Skylon/Ott today at the gym...lol...was great for the cardio part...in a check out kind of way...and whatever that was @ about 21 min. kicked A ..

Yeah, Shed Man was very good. I'll check Hybrid, thanks.

.

Bill is unique, but something of an acquired taste, and not much like any of the artists in this thread . More like art -rock/pop/jazz/blues/country/experimental , all rolled up and redesigned .

That Hybrid album can be unsettling in spots, but I find it has a quality of completeness to it, the album comes full circle and it's quite the ride.

Some trip hop (whatever that is, boo labels!;) to mix up the pace.
