I would like to welcome the 18 th Derogatory Playlist – a big number for the Derogatory one and only 2 away from number 20. It is not yet time to reflect retrospectively so let's avoid hindsight and enjoy the deepness which lies ahead. The Playlist El Derog below is a segment of electronic tunes built for darken rooms, late nights, early mornings and most importantly a sound system which can deliver the tasty Wav files into your ear drums with pin point [...]
Thundercat is the stage name for Californian bass player extraordinaire Stephen Bruner, whose father played with legendary funk band The Temptations and brother is a Grammy award winning drummer. Impressive loins indeed. Thundercat is only a recent incarnation for Bruner as he picked up his guitar at the tender age of 4 and has been playing in various bands since he was 16, including stints with heavyweights like Snoop Dogg and Erykah Badu ! He also counts LA producer Flying Lotus as a good buddy and collaborated on his acclaimed 2010 LP [...]
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen – hope you have all enjoyed Adso's regular posts – he is really keeping the Blog alive!! I would like to get straight back into things with an update on what has been tickling my senses over the last few months. It has been 5 main groups that have dominated my ear space as well as a mix which I have been working on over that time - o and of course Radiosoulwax! I gave myself the deadline of today to finish the mix as it has been dragging on for at least [...]
One of the stranger French electronic music producers, Joakim is also one of the best electronic acts to see live. I had the privilege to see him in the setting sun after Junior Boys at Parklife two years ago and it was the perfect way to end the day and start the night. His warm synth textures and funky basslines set the mood so well by having one foot lounging in the grass and one foot stepping on the dance floor. He has a new album coming out in September called Nothing Gold on his own [...]
One of the albums I've been consistently playing over the last year has been Primal Scream's 1991 release Screamadelica. It is a timeless piece of music that is widely acclaimed as one of the best albums of the 1990s, yet I've found that not very many people in and around Gen Y are familiar with it. Its originality came from merging dub, gospel and experimental sounds with big house drums and rhythms. This often resulted in a very trippy, spaced-out sound, which was probably in no small part an affect of their heavy drug intake at the time. [...]
Like Jimps said in the last post, my musical taste has broadened dramatically in the time since I last shared music with you all. Not only has it broadened, but it has shifted focus away from remixes and electronic productions and more so to guitars and psychedelia. But these aren't mutually exclusive and often my favourite music exhibits a little from column A and a little from column B. A band who I think exemplify the convergence of these two ideas and is also my favourite new band is Unknown Mortal Orchestra. While borrowing psychedelic sounds from the [...]
After over a year hiatus A Derogatory ReTerms on http://aderogatoryterm.com giving us the freedom we need to post what we like with out the stick of Google's Blogspot prodding us in the anus. Adso and I are as keen as ever so let's hope we can keep it going. Our musical taste has both shifted in all directions, which will give you a greater variety of sounds. Quality of tracks is also going to be a focus of mine and I plan to [...]
Same Blog different Address!!! A Derogatory ReTerms! http://aderogatoryterm.com Fuck You Google!!
Well it has been 6 whole months since the last Derogatory Playlist and the longer I left it the harder it got to put one down as my long list of dance tracks got stale. I came to the decision that I just had to make the post sooner rather then later so I am able to move forward. This playlist will be a little different to the others as it has been 6 months of tunes shrunk down to 11 carefully selected tracks. What you have below are 11 tracks I have heard over the last 6 months new [...]

Well it has almost been a couple of months since I last posted and although I have been listening to many albums in this time there has just been a few which have been receiving the attention they deserve – enough attention to post about anyway. I am hoping I can make a quick return once some of the others have been broken in a little more. We Have Band – WHB I have only had We [...]
2010 is already shaping up to be massive for the Dance Music LP with the below three albums the ones I have been enjoying the most thus far. My most anticipated album for the year would have to be Goose as I am not getting my hopes up for Soulwax's return - If Goose, LCD Soundsystem and Soulwax were all to release new ones I do not think I would be able to contain myself. Here is to wishful thinking! Enjoy the music!! Lindstrom & Christabelle [...]
