Mount Kimbie: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[@MrAli5519]

I keep coming back to this video. Mount Kimbie will always be one of my faves as, like bands such as Radiohead, they change each song up when performing it. So fresh so clean ...

[@fettyblap4436]

This version of Maybes is wonderful.

[@mole986]

I pray they get more recognition. they are sooooo good at what they do

[@matthewgibson6244]

This is something way beyond dubstep. Hip-hop like beat, highly sampled. Deep electro/hypnotic is what I would call this.

[@yagizozdemi]

It was a symphony of precision and artistry. A flawless performance! ❤

[@blunt8787]

i discovered these guys tonight listening to my dubstep file and these people were just a random couple songs. i listened liked it, checked u tube, after a couple liked alot, then found this i fuckin love it. massive respect to them

[@humblehobbit]

I love this, because it is so unique. You don't come across such an amazing spectrum of sounds like this every day :) These guys are like the Pink Floyd of electronica.

[@simontratnik]

Jon Hopkins in the audience

[@iamyankchannel]

+Simon Tratnik its really him? :D

[@dr4ncer]

+Simon Tratnik jon hpkins with crutches :P

[@alessandrobonomi7830]

I couldn't believe my eyes

[@rondonneto]

and I looking for Anthony Hopkins.....

[@annethoroughbass8499]

As soon as 1:21 kicks in, it's so colorful and warm and breathtaking. I didn't know how to react. Lovely.

[@marcwandas]

that's how electronics should be operated. that's how you play your music with them. live shit. big ups for you guys.

[@Etonmessy]

@ramirythm that's your opinion. you obviously just dont get it. I love Mount kimbie! thanks for the upload @nprmusic really great!

[@hagenex]

Yeah! The great Jon Hopkins attending the performance! What the hell! What a man!

[@andresortizmasso]

I was going to ask if that was really him!

[@herrmajj]

So my daughter was going to see STS9 one weekend and she said they were going to play an acoustic show. My wife and I couldn't help ourselves. We both asked, "What are the going to do unplug the computers?" She was not impressed, although I am every time she says hey check this out.

[@pleasenononsense]

Wish he sung like this on the studio version. So much melody!

[@xcpitto]

Can't express how much I love these. Really nice set.

[@soyogen22]

Well done dudes! Field was worth the wait

[@kuroneko199]

watched this so many times, might be the most amazing thing ever done. M.K

[@MyCircadian]

Can't wait to see these doods in Detroit 2024, les go!

[@yimyim5]

how is it that I always find out that artists i come to love are all in some way on NPR music, seriously, NPR has good fucking taste

[@Zombbg4]

haha jesus christ, I had this playing in itunes preview and didnt know it, about 5 seconds behind this. I was thinking "how is it so chaotic but controlled?" Actually sounded really good.

[@blahlahblahlahh]

ah, no wonder. the words of the young and inspired. good luck on your musical ventures

[@denzeldelrosal7923]

Amazing! Mount kimbie are very good!

[@rossc255]

@warmsparrow1 The thing he's hitting with the drumsticks is a Roland SPD-S sample pad, the thing he's triggering with his fingers is a Roland SP-555.

[@RahimX]

Life changing.

[@looksi]

Thank you for uploading this and don´t EVER take it down again please ! *

[@43sad3efs]

this is beyond brilliant

[@gustabusta24]

[@matthewrister]

I love these guys

[@Greek2xprotein]

Every electronic act moves to warp when they grow up.

[@CAILLOU777]

[@rynhammonds]

@benoblest 140 bpm is generally used when making dubstep because it allows more flexibility when programming drums, especially when adding faster hi-hats. At 140 bpm the kick/snare will alternate every other measure while at 70 it will alternate every one. 140 bpm definitely is not "wrong". Though Mount Kimbie isn't dubstep, it has influences of it as I've heard it considered "post-dubstep".

[@dag451]

Awesome. They seem like such nice blokes too.

[@onlyyouarerealnow]

[@bensonjkelly]

biggest inspiration

[@yaaancey]

Never even noticed that the first few times I watched.... that's awesome

[@framrh88]

Oblique Strategies @11:41 Nice!!!

[@hubetcumberdale]

Simply amazing..

[@kollerjon]

i want to hold mount kimbie's hand as we walk through a park and contemplate how even though it sucks that people move on, life is somehow really worth it because of the potential to react to the challenges that change brings.

[@eldoradose]

Excellent

[@gyouryj]

congrats guys this is fantastic!

[@nuhmate]

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! ♥ ♥ ♥

[@SergeantSkateboard]

That second track almost reminds me of the kind of ambient stuff that Deftones puts into a lot of their songs.

[@TLooP]

Yes!

[@MrRobbe222]

What a dope gear!

[@ricebowllaunch7106]

Jon Hopkins came out to this with crutches FRAME 3:42!

[@ThePullado]

すばらしい、ワンダフルソングベリーグッド

[@aikighost]

Sounds more like ambient IDM than dubstep to me.

[@Baikal101310]

[@Greek2xprotein]

[@candlewaxrecords]

[@springsten]

[@UNAPRO9]

awesome'

[@brandonjrust]

I concur

[@IamDurandal]

Jon Hopkins in the crowd at 9.58 green jumper.

[@stealtime]

the chick in the back with the fuzzy hat. yeah

[@tripndub]

you've ALL the right, dude ;)

[@Psilocy-ben]

@222Sucram Just because producers mainly produce "dubstep" at 140 doesn't necessarily mean its 140 and half time, it could very well be 70 and double time, and thats a FACT. Regardless, that's not what I meant this discussion to be about, what tempo people consider "dubstep" to be is irrelevant. What I meant to say is, why do people consider all electronic music that falls in the "same general tempo" as dubstep, to be dubstep. A perfect example being here, Mount Kimbie.

[@hovadude]

Too fucking good. Love this

[@MsPatronix]

Poderoso!

[@joao88]

i see jon hopkins was there! npr we need a tiny desk concert with him and his 4 korg kaoss pads!

[@Burton82190]

Just to settle the argument... anyone who thinks these shows are impromptu is naive, to say the least. These setups that the bands have are pretty damn close to what they use live and even in the studio. That being said, if you understood how their music was composed and put together, there really aren't many other ways to perform the music that they make, mainly because of the way they make it to begin with.

[@DJKuroh]

Nothing I believe, hence the headphones to hear. Maybe they have a click going in the headphones and hear sounds to cue up when switching to different kits/sounds. It's actually off to me in certain points slightly (like any live performance) so I don't think anything is actually being heavily quatized except maybe the drums.

[@mynmyself]

bien!

[@platinumdynamite]

@kylehlogan Probably a Gibson Florentine Les Paul.

[@doghumour]

First time I have heard Mount Kimbie, what are their best tunes?

[@RayMdk]

feeling the operation doomsday case that has nothing to do with this show, always a fan of NPR, one of the few stations thats till plays good music, heard them use a flying lotus sample from july heat, best flylo album by far in terms of hiphop

[@dlinkk]

@phlpmane i'd probably be jamming just as hard if i were him. i cant imagine how anyone can possibly stand still i that room, that beat is just so smooth and tasty
