Millsy is slagging off Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx because he was ‘shooting hoops’ and listening to bad hip-hop like Mobb Deep and Jurassic Five in 1998.
FEWMIN!
Daft Punk
Didn’t Orbital call it quits once, only to be back in under 2 years?

I don’t think Orbital ever made serious life-changing bank from a Pharrell Williams collab though.
Though I’d like to see such a thing.
Pharrel doing the vox on a re-release of Halcyon and on and on would be phenomenal
Orbital don’t deserve to make serious dosh playing that god awful Belinda Carlisle track in their sets.
Like comparing Goodfellas with Rise of the Footsoldier.

Random Access Memories is a mood based headphones album. Luxurious production and playing. Giorgio, Instant Crush, Touch and Lose yourself to dance and Contact are quality. Props to Get Lucky too, perfect pop song
this was awesome
That’s part of its problem - it’s a pop album. For those of us used to Homework or the Scott Grooves remix and, to a lesser extent, Discovery (Human After All was obviously made to get our of their record contract and knock out some fodder for a live set - it barely registers), RAM was very different.
But, hey, I’ve always said people who bitch and moan about DJ Shadow not doing …Entroducing every few years don’t really understand that maybe, just maybe, artists like to do different things even if it leaves older fans cold. And RAM was the biggest record of the year so it’s not like it was a swing and a miss.
And, yeah, it does sound amazing. Incredible production.
Marauder I’m already enjoying this, only 15 minutes in. Hadn’t heard it before.
They deserve their accolades as legends, yes they’ve put out a few pop records and a lot of shite, but so what? The same could be said of Chemical Brothers.
In both cases, their decent output more than makes up for it.
steady on for fuck sake
Don’t mind Sean, he’s just tapping out nonsense with his headwand and living in some parallel universe where these guys are legends of the scene…
bosstrabs bad hip-hop like Mobb Deep and Jurassic Five
Stop it.
J5 might sound dated today but they were a welcomed break from the misery of NYC’s hip hop and much of LA’s rap being obsessed with how many people they’d like to murder.
Went to a big warehouse party back in around 1998-99. Main (massive) room was Jurassic 5, Invisbl Scratch Picklz, Deltron 3030, DJ Hurricane and a few other underground types I can’t remember. Proper good time. Don’t think I left the room or heard a House track all night.

bosstrabs Patrice Rushen haven’t you heard will always be perfect. That disco to disco original is superb. You just know that if they were in the mood they could play the perfect two hour dj party set and kill the competition. I imagine them on Space terrace playing this. Would make the sausage techno inside sound shit
I quite liked that Together track on Roule (I may even have it on vinyl). And that’s about it for the whole filtered haus thing. Wank music for wankers then, and even more so now. Rhouses and Dave are my usual barometers for all things cack. Rhouees has gone all out on Facebook as if Diana has died again and is probably singing Candle in the Wind through a filtered vocoder strapped to a crash helmet in their honour.
As if Daft Punk could be written off as simply ‘filtered haus’ as though they’re Robbie Rivera.
LOL for that too.
