Nice, I like these kind of tracks he does, the Harmonix sounding stuff.

shit hot!

 

party blake is the best, hope he makes a full lenght like that

Not all that wowed by the other tracks (esp the douchey outro), but my gawd that title track is the tits. Just listened to it three times in a row. Does he make other tracks like this? And who are harmonix?

 

edit: just cued it up for the 4th time

 

GATHER ROUND THE HEAT LIKE A PIMP FIRE

lol, yes

I guess I just hear slowed down vocals and think trap.. man, is that ever a trend that needs to die pretty soon

that track is pretty great

Thanks ooze, I'll be checking out all of these and possibly copping a few. I knew the guy had production chops (loved his remix of Mount Kimbie's Maybes), but got quickly turned off by his anointment as I-can't-believe-it's-not-dubstep darling and swerve into emo-balladeering... odd that he makes such contrasting strains of music under his own name - I thought that's what aliases were for but whatevs - just makes sorting out the good stuff harder (again thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the eps)

 

I'll admit to knowing squat about trap but the title track sounds straight techno with a UK bass-step tinge to it

Also upon further listening it's probably campfire, but still I like the idea of pimp fire better

you mean pitchshifted vocals? they been doing that since the 80's in metal, pop, hiphop and dance, it will never go away.

trap is fast hihats between the kick and snare with a fat bass and a dude that flows on the track about being stuck in the dopegame like gucci mane or kevin gates

 

this is just a fine dancetrack like mr bob dobalina said

Sounds a little too slow to dance too. Sounds like a good track to put up scaffolding with though, what with all that clonking an' that.

heh, guess it's just not my thing. I was talking specifically about the pitch shifted rapping, it kinda ruins it for me..

i love blake but this is just weird for me

200 press is pretty cool, heard it a couple of times before I figured out it was him. Impressed.

sample in the title track is from andre 3000s verse in the devin the dude track 'what a job'.

better than this james blake track imo

Another nice EP from dude. I don't really get the whole honky R&B schtick he's popular for though.
