>> SINDEN'S 2007 END OF YEAR ROUND-UP
>> Wednesday, 05 December 2007
>>
>> Sinden trawls through his hard-drive to give us his essential picks of
>> 2007's global street-level sounds, from hip-hop and R n' B to niche and
>> 'booty house'. Featuring MIA, Dude n' Dem, T2, Buraka Som Sistema,
>> Radioclit, Herve and many more...
>>
>>
>> Club music moved fast in 2007. Some genres, like funky house, died;
>> some,
>> like niche, came and conquered; and others, like hip hop, shifted
>> radically. After combing through two huge hard-drives and a stack of
>> vinyl
>> and CDs, here’s my guide to the jams that jammed, and the artists
>> that’ll
>> shine next year.
>>
>> In the US, hip-hop got fun (cartoonish, even) this year. There seems to
>> be
>> a clear shift away from gangsterism, with things lightening up. The
>> biggest records in the US - Huey’s ‘Pop, Lock and Drop It’ and, in
>> particular, Soulja Boy's ‘Crank That’- both spawned dances that caught
>> on
>> like wildfire. Check out the Youtube vids, where Souljah Boy is synched
>> to
>> kids TV programmes like Barney! While many southern beats got
>> super-slow,
>> things were speeding up in the Midwest. My jam of the year was Dude n'
>> Nem's [pictured left ] ‘Watch My Feet’ – an unbelievable halftime/double
>> time Chicago juke banger clocking in at 150bpms. Lil’ Wayne had another
>> massive year off a plethora of mixtapes, freestyles and guest
>> appearances.
>> Lyrically, he’s so absurdly and effortlessly next level and weird. His
>> long awaited Tha Carter III LP drops early next year.
>>
>> On the softer side of things, R n’ B had its best year for ages. Maybe
>> it
>> was Timbaland who set the trend when he dropped his Shock Value album.
>> Suddenly, R n’ B went all mad gated synths, trance arpeggios and
>> vocoders.
>> This was the year R n’ B got hard-edged, with Rihanna, T-Pain, Pretty
>> Ricky, Chris Brown, and Trey Songz all dropping forward thinking joints.
>> Bubbling under right now is The Dream (producer of ‘Umbrella’) who has
>> an
>> album forthcoming on Def Jam. He’ll be massive next year.
>>
>> Back in the UK, I got bored of bass-less, serious ‘dude music’ this
>> year,
>> so I was glad that garage came back strong. Niche, aka Bassline House,
>> brought back the warped, layered bass lines and pitched-up female vocals
>> of speed-garage. Its no-holds-barred frantic tempos, weird beat pattern
>> swaps and no rules bass lines put a smile on your face and brought the
>> girls back to garage. It’s taken a while for the sound to catch in the
>> south but now the scene’s starting to break through. T2’s ‘Heartbroken’
>> had daytime Radio 1 jumping on board as well as the dance shows,
>> bringing
>> him a Number 2 hit. Other big tunes this year have included DJ Q’s
>> ‘Shottas’, TS7’s ‘I Feel for You’, Dexplicit’s “Niche & Bump’, Platnum’s
>> ‘Over The Heartbreak’. Northern Line will be one of the bassline labels
>> to
>> watch next year.
>>
>> Huge basslines came back in a big way in house too, with the rise of
>> ‘booty house’. Central to this was one man, Herve, with a whole lot of
>> aliases: Count of Monte Cristal, Voodoo Chilli, Speakerjunk, Dead Soul
>> Brothers. Productions such as ‘Foxy Lady’ (as Speakerjunk) made
>> dancefloors melt this year, along with essential remixes for New Young
>> Pony Club (‘Ice Cream’) and Chemical Brothers (‘Salmon Dance’). The
>> sound
>> inspired Italian producers Crookers, who this year proved to the world
>> that decent dance music can come out of Italy. Their remixes of Dusty
>> the
>> Cat on Southern Fried and Adam Sky on Exploited were certified club
>> killers. Watch out for a full length on Southern Fried next year.
>>
>> ‘Booty music’ was a truly global sound; around the rest of Europe,
>> Berlin’s Modeselektor [pictured above right, mucking up the Garden of
>> Eden
>> ] released the fantastic Happy Birthday LP and ZZT (Zombie Nation &
>> Tiga)
>> came with the leftfield insanity of ‘Lower States Of Conciousness’,
>> while
>> in the US Blaqstarr reinvented B-more club music on Diplo’s Mad Decent
>> label. Detboi and Trouble and Bass should blow up in 2008.
>>
>> This year, previously localised dance scenes broke through on a
>> world-wide
>> scale. Brazil’s Bonde Do Role introduced people all over the world to
>> their own brand of Baile Funk with their album With Lasers. Its UK
>> success
>> was a sign of a new receptiveness to non-English speaking club music and
>> MCing. One of my favourite record labels, Berlin’s Man Recordings,
>> released a ton of music from around the globe; their Funk Mundial vinyl
>> series pitted Brazilian MCs with house producers to create mad little
>> hybrids. The Count of Monte Cristal and myself got involved, as did
>> Seiji
>> (Bugz in the Attic), Crookers, and Makossa & Megablast. Blogs were
>> instrumental in creating awareness of these new international sounds,
>> and
>> the biggest buzz concerned a new beat from Angola, called kuduru.
>> Lisbon’s
>> Buraka Som Sistema (pictured left)made this previously difficult to
>> unearth music more accessible, taking the kuduru sound and mashing it
>> together with influences from the house music of Dubsided as well as
>> broken beat and dubstep. Their ‘Yah’ single was one of the tunes of the
>> summer.
>>
>> Radioclit produced one of my favourite remixes of the year for Danish
>> popsters Alphabeat’s ‘Fantastic Six’. Their version is all afro drums
>> and
>> uplifting horn sections. Their ‘Techno Jihad’ remix of French electro
>> kid
>> Brodinski propelled the world vibe even further. Their new monthly night
>> Secousse at Notting Hill Arts Club will bang all this shit out. Check
>> it!
>>
>> The queen of this globe-trotting scene is, of course, MIA. Her Kala
>> album
>> is truly unique. It’s the weirdest pop record you’ll ever hear, recorded
>> on location in Trinidad and India, and featuring everything from
>> Bollywood
>> disco to Aboriginal Kids rapping to anthemic gun-toting tracks sampling
>> Blur. Kala was one of 2007’s most important releases and sums up a year
>> in
>> which old boundaries were broken down and musical fusion ran riot. See
>> you
>> next year!
