Sound of the post nightclub world

Genesia alves

Its the sort of music that coulod make you feel really old;or really lonely,or really there ,s no other
way to put it,;mushroomed,out.for those who came in late, atieast to this mount kimbie, s sound is
dubstep but the genre that evolved out of south london has seen several re-generations in the last
10yerrs and if you lost track in the middle you, re going to have to concentrate to keep up a reviewer
called it the sound of the postnightclub world, and that best describes its ambience,a surround sound
of hints,suggestions asking nothing, not even your full attention.

Despite having released two eps last year,producers dominic maker and kai campos have released
their first really rea lalbum,crooks and lovers. A cross the 11 songs, an amalgam of samples,simple
instrumentation,tonal teasing and some rhythms and beats bring on a mood that is aloof without
being bleak. There are moments when you wonder about the defination of music and whether its
changed since you last put your player on.Check out their track Maybes(not on the album) to get an
introduction to the band. Ruby is a good example of how Mount Kimbie blend obstuse with
appealing.Blind Night Errand can confuse the first time you listen to it.But other tracks on the album
lure you into the heart of Mount Kimbie where as Kai said,is a place inside all of us where the bus
arrives on time.

Gone are the days when songs like yeh dosti hum nahin todenge was the signature tune for

whether true friendship has lost its value in the age of social networkingsites.are teens happy
adding people whom they hardly know on to their friendslist, just to flaunt their popularity
or do they pour their hearts out to their hearts out to they pour their hearts out to their
online friends? Youngsters today are asmart lot who combine the best of both worlds.most
ofthem beliveve their friendships are stong enough to withstand facebook and orkuts
popularty;rather these sites can be a medium to strengthen ties even more and stayconne
Friendship go. Astudent of little flower degree college,mansi jamani agrees while facebook
helps frinds stay in touch with one another any where in the wrpld and find even long lost
frinds ,itsless about the quantity of buddies and more about the quality of frinds.when it
comes to sharing my trouble or secrets ,I would only bank on a few select frinds whom I have
known for a long time, not a net friend avers mansi, for whom friendship is asecond family,
without which life is incomplete. Given the selfish times we live in, where stealing a boyfrind
or maligning someone online is an easy option for many, sifting real from fake friends can be
a difficult task for some youngsters who may find their true friends the hard way. Say18-year
old ronak bokadia,;we trust only those friends whoom we know from our school or college
day on such sites and not complete strangers.after all,it s the former who really care for you
when you are in trouble. The rest are there just for fun ;he adds. Pooja bohra, a 19-
