Smashbredrens - Porn 2 Rock (2006) appreciation and tracklist
For all the and clonning, what first drew me to the Strut was the 52kbps realaudio mixes in like 99. Hearing the heat much more dedicated record pervs are digging up has always been a huge draw for me.Same here. I was later to the party but I got a gig in Dublin and all there was to do at night was listen to mp3s off the laptop. No TV or internet in those illegal sublets Fortunately at work we had the fastest internet connection ever and I had full access. So I could pull like 100Mb mix in literally 1 second back in 2001. It was so fast, you thought it had failed to start. But there it was, complete. As long as you weren't downloading t3h pr0nz0rs, people were chill. Apparently the place was directly next to where the big internet pipe came in.
The internet is getting towards a monoculture now where people are being funnelled into Meta products or TikTok. Every f*cking click is a cookie T&C acceptance page before you can dig for the content somewhere among the ads. There's no BS on forums, nobody is trying to sell you something, or worse, sell you. I also did some mixes just to test (IIRC) Audacity which I kinda got the hang of. The first few attempts were clownish volume disparities but these days I bet you can just throw everything into an app and it'll come out shiny, beat matched and in key.
Hence why those all-vinyl lockdown mixes @RAJ did on camera were great. But I get it, R*ck has a family and life presents you with many realnesses to mitigate. Thank f*ck for music though. (salutes) -

2024 RIP Thraed
Alto sax legend David Sanborn. Him, Grover and Mike Brecker had it on lock in the 70s and 80s. Purists dismissed it as fuzak but in the words of Roy Ayers, "Man, those cats were grooving." As a teenager this was a gateway into a load of things. Marcus Miller etc.
