Seriously. I used to think that American television was awful, then I started watching BBC. Starting to realize why so much of American culture gets exported. God bless the queen
Id say unkle! Saw them last september at Electric Picnic and they were unreal..really powerfull, had full band on stage and they were going nuts. Aphex Twin is a genius but can be hit and miss live
Well the trick is not the genre, but the 'sound'. I can very much imagine Aphex playing the house track in this video and chewing it to pieces. In fact its very acid sounding. As a dj myself i like to be very eclectic. I don't go by genre at all, but i keep it rocking. I think its a testament to his evolved appreciation for the factors that make good music. People tend to segregate music as some kind of political thing, but his influences come everywhere.
he was unbelieveable at oxegen in ireland in july an they had face contortionists on stage, show had a drum & bass feel to it, it was alot better than this appears to be
yupp, cause in his first aphex twin album, saw 1, it has a similar style to these songs. xtal and puslewidth have the same hihats as the first song, i notice...
Jeanette Thomas - Shake Your Body (House Shaker Version) is the first track. SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE BOD BOD BOD BOD BODY BODY BODY BODY SH SH SH SH SHAKE BOD BOD BOD BODY BODY BODY
i agree whit u mate :) all he's tracks are made by himself and for those who want tracklist like tiesto set or sm like that go back from this page :) this man is serious no one can match him :)
@milesdavisblackmx5 do you not rate derrick may?? thought you would of known him personally since youve interviewed so many djs and of course your such an interesting character who writes up his life story on youtube hahahahahahahaha
its fucking aphex twin, he can do whatever the fuck he wants, and if that means showing half his face playing early 90's house then he can do it. This man has done as much for dance music as pete tong and paul oakenfold. Do you people not remember the last 30 minutes.
playing old school house - whats wrong with that? afx has been there since day zero and seen it all... he really did play so much better in manchester though lol! just glad i was at the latter instead of this... check out afx live at the warehouse project and you'll see what i mean
@milesdavisblackmx5 Tribe, Pine, Marsalis & Octagon are fairly weak examples of what you seem to continually focus on, which is crossover music... i mean you could have at least mentioned herbie hancock, gil scot heron, parliament/funkadelic, (getting more into the funk side of things but you know what i mean) and the list goes on...jazz rap is not the issue, the function of both genres & (non-racial) cultural closeness is more of what is discussed out there & drawn as a link.
@milesdavisblackmx5 the majority of hip hop these days are white, asian, european and hispanic kids. attributing music culture ownership to the 'black community', whilst valid in asserting both genre's origins, is quite out of touch. The point i was getting at in the first place was more of the 'mechanical function' of doing hip hop, i.e freestyle emceeing, beatboxing etc being akin in its function to jazz improv. that's the usual correlation drawn in musicological discourse on the subject.
that's really funny that the guy who basicly started the genre called "intelligent dance music" ditched the jazz rhythms for 4/4 beats and now apparently if you want to dance to a more mental rhythm you're the one who can't dance.... he had to pander to the american audience who only know how to dance to 4/4 judging by the comments ive seen on the other videos
@milesdavisblackmx5 perhaps you might like to read ericka blount's article on jazztimes website entitled, where jazz meets hip hop.... start there, then move onto looking at the playbills of many many jazz venues around the world...you will find many hip hop events. Regarding your 'self confidence' and 'ample self respect' i'd suggest you may have a warped view of where the line is between those things and pure arrogance...Also, stooping to calling people names like a five year old - classy!
how come all these awesome artists come do live shows and then just do this dj crap? dont get me wrong i wish i couldve been there but play some girlboy song right?
@milesdavisblackmx5 Also, relating to insecurity, I think a good honest review of all the statements you made in this thread - trying to inform somebody you discounted as an imbecile - was fairly insecure in its essence. If you really, truly look at yourself, you can't deny that it's the truth, right? Surely, insecurity would be illustrated in far more depth/detail by somebody who lists their achievements on internet threads to impress those they consider unworthy of the info in the first place.
@milesdavisblackmx5 Again, I will reinforce my initial message to you. A skilled musicologist, music journalist, writer, (or whatever your are) would be fully aware of the stupidity of generalising about DJ culture. Surely with your interest in music journalism, you would be across the fact that much of the underground hip hop scene is considered an extension of the jazz scene by many jazz musicians and respected musicologists. Blatantly generalising displays your ignorance to anyone who knows.

you're kidding?
they play this "dj crap" to get people dancing and this set is so fire that you can't help but move. sorry if you're too intelligent to dance.
damn theres some angry people on here
garageband...
why is the mighty aphex twin dabbling in handbag house? I'm disgusted
@milesdavisblackmx5 davie binman hahahahahahahahaha
I'm sorry to say, but Aphex "I break things and record the funny sounds they make" Twin doesn't even hold a light to Oakenfold.

@milesdavisblackmx5 yeah you've clearly lost your marbles good luck for the future and your future issues hahahahaha old goat!!!
@milesdavisblackmx5 has clearly lost the plot
two people wasting time in the comment section.
ha ha ..speech!!!! he just uses a laptop

LOL Dj's doing MCing...i feel sorry for you.
Lucky little turd! haha j/k
money is money, but I'm disgusted also.
@milesdavisblackmx5 good djs dont play chart cds and laughable MCing, you obviously no nothing about electronic music
Oakenfold is a sell out anyway. He's wiped his hands cleaned of the dance scene and sold out to american life style and big money contracts.
