RIP Jason Jinx

here's his cohort DB with a sweet tribute  to NYC rave hardcore breakbeat stalwart Jason Jinx,  who was involved in both STORMrave and NASA. This was written while he was still alive.

vintage 96 rollige

except it was recorded in 2017!



no, but it's great stereo-panning rhythmic psychedelia

like a lost batch of barely recognisable remixes of Goldie tunes done by Source Direct and Hidden Agenda

lead track of OneMind's debut album OneMind presents OneMind

sweird

it still sounds

like

the future

to me

very odd, that - cos i know it's not, that it's a now classic sound-style...

that it's history... legend...

a mythic and mythologized era

(hell, I done mythologized it myself - not single-handedly but certainly made an outsize contribution there!)

i know that we've gone past this and are looking back at it in the rear-view mirror

except that listening, it feels open and wide and forward-leaning - a full-speed ahead windshield view

perhaps it's just a trick of memory, how I felt then flooding back involuntarily

or that it's all so imprinted in my neurology and brain pathways that those sounds can't be heard any other way

it's not like I don't feel that feeling about some things happening today

(more so than 2009-2010)

but yeah, it feels like  my ears are staring out at a vista, a frontier, when I listen to it

if i played it to my beats and bleeps mad son, I wonder if he's be able to tell it was from the past ?

(not literally from the past obviously, in actual fact made virtually yesterday)

"Legendary dance music hipster Simon Reynolds once brought to our attention the idea that breakbeat was responsible for the death of Dance Music."  (from this site )

er, not quite....
