I am not as much into the lyrics as I am the music. I don’t like rap and hip hop, for the most part, because of this. Have you heard of the cut up process?
Not at the moment. Though I did have to remind myself of who Peter Gabriel was a bit ago. I could never really forget him but it was just one of those things the name refused to come to me LOL.
When it comes to rap. I definitely like Sugarhill gang, Grandmaster Flash, salt and pepper, kid’n play and a lot of the acts from back then. I definitely did not like the whole gangster rap b******* that superseded it. Ironically play of Kid and Play had far more street cred than most of NWA. That despite being the very thing many of them wrapped about and pretended to be he gets no respect.
I like House of Pain, Cypress Hill, the Cotton Mouth Kings, and La Coka Nostra. That’s about it. I also used to strictly listen to ambient music for awhile.
I think everyone at least knows one house of pain or Cypress Hill track. Which if I’m not mistaken Cypress Hill discovered House of Pain. Can’t say I know a lot or was a really big fan outside of those two I’m afraid. By that part of the '90s I was deep in it with industrial, acid house / jazz, psytrance, Goa, gabba , or just about anything related to the Detroit scene. Lords of acid, praga kahn, early Moby, ken ishii, Juno reactor, Charlie era Prodigy and all that came immediately after
As a mid-20 something with disposable income I spent more than I care to admit importing or special ordering CDs LOL
Right now the name is not ringing a bell. So I can’t say for sure. But discovery back in the late 90s early 2000s wasn’t what it is today. I still go back listening to a lot of that stuff though. It is just pure 2000s to me. Really speaks to where I was at least. Sometimes when the atmosphere was just right we would get AM radio station that bounces from up in Detroit and Chicago late at night
After a really quick Google it seems I’m not. I will have to address that when I get home later.
Jeff Mills is basically a master musician who has perfected his craft over a lifetime, just as a violinist or pianist would. It just so happens that his musical instrument is turntables.

When I go I go hard. All perfectly tagged and replaygained ready to go. So far I definitely prefer the older stuff. Newer is a bit more minimal and atmospheric. But I can definitely hear detroit in the older stuff.

You are the only person I know that knows who Praga Khan is. Are you a Jeff Mills fan?

Mills is a genius, he’s also from the Detroit scene. Aparantly he is known as the Wizard.

@Eldritch@lemmy.world this is a good couple of links to start; the first showcases his technical virtuosity, and his second shows his roots.
