James Blake - CMYK (LIVE) @ Pitchfork Music Festival 2011

[RizsenJai]

Damn.

[VcookiemonsterV]

what is he doing with his vocal processing. so intense.

[drsetherz]

Thanks so much for finding it James. That's her favorite coat.

[Tetchymonkey]

he's so hot in so many ways

[myxo101]

Those drums are just insane

[Outerspacehaze]

oof this goes hard

[BigTuna1994]

This is the first song I ever heard of his. Actually, it was this video too. Didn't like it much at all for the first few listens, but now I can't imagine going a day without listening to him at least once. He's magic, makes me feel things I didn't think I could.

Bon Iver, James, Fleet Foxes, Animal Collective, Deerhunter.

[WovenWomb]

Why isn't the crowd going fucking wild?

[hotnovel]

@WovenWomb hipsters don't "go wild", it's too mainstream

[francaisemusique]

vocoderrr

[jamsmash481]

3:30 <3



[pauljmorand]

[iammortgoldman]

@ThomasJamesLion I thought it was as well, but James Blake's facebook page says it isn't.

[eccletic32]

[eccletic32]

[arreboy12]

[raneanubis]

This guy is a f*cking beast.

[ItsAzzIzz]

[TheCharismaticJimmy]

[smoothrage1]

THIS WAS FUCKIN' AWESOME...A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL.

[wh1t3f0rl1f3]

[wigwanwo]

Oscar Wilde on the drums

[garlicpuree]

is the guitarist half of mount kimbie or is he just a lookalike?

[casadivetro]

@garlicpuree lookalike

[CoolAbhiFilms]

the crowd is so high



[wh1t3f0rl1f3]

@CoolAbhiFilms everyone was lmfao

[Someone96hi]

damn the drummer is amazingg..

[omgnuub]

@Someone96hi not really, the beat is very simple. it's great and all but amazing is a bit of a stretch.

[Someone96hi]

@omgnuub well i mean from 3:34 it looks pretty complex. but i'm not a drummer, so whatever (:

[Someone96hi]

@omgnuub well i mean from 3:34 it looks pretty complex. but i'm not a drummer, so whatever (:

[Someone96hi]

@omgnuub from 3:34 it looks very complex. but i'm not a drummer so i don't really know whats hard to drum xd

[youprayforrain]

@omgnuub it's not about whether you / someone else can play that beat. it's about coming up with the perfect groove to match the song and keeping it tight throughout the song

[04211992April]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[theplanet1985]

[hangingwanging]

@theplanet1985 The drummer's name is Ben Assiter

[iNicolas42]

Best version of this song!

[seanfgonzales]

superb. continue watching this like every week or so

[casadivetro]

one of the best things ever.

[djgoomba290]

wish there was more dubstep like this... i really do.

[imhemaster]

@djgoomba290 there is more... much, much more

[djgoomba290]

@imhemaster yeah i know i wish the dubstep like james blake, sbtrkt, burial, kastle etc etc was the predominant style.

[45696945]

@djgoomba290 This isn't dub-step.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

@45696945 Then, what is it man?

[djgoomba290]

@45696945 cmyk is for sure a dubstep song. its one of the james blake songs thats actually like proper dubstep. and its spelled 'dubstep' not 'dub-step'.

[45696945]

@djgoomba290 Yeah true, guess I was just used to the generic fat basslines. :)

[djgoomba290]

@45696945 the fact that your spelling it like that just tells me you have no idea what your talking about. or what dubstep is for that matter.

[Phabulouso]

@djgoomba290 People who critique others' spelling during an argument are pretty much proving that they don't have a leg to stand on in said debate. Go teach a grade-school English class, or get something real to argue about.

[djgoomba290]

@Phabulouso the point of the response wasnt to correct his spelling genius. it was too inform him and correct him about him saying that isnt dubstep when this is cmyk is obviously one of james blakes most proper dubstep songs. i called him out on his spelling to help prove my point that he has no clue what he was talking about. because if he did he wouldnt have spelled it 'dub-step' anything else you wanna say before you try butt in again?

[JackCampbellMusic]

Fucking love this.

[NativeDHM]

@JackCampbellMusic Knew you'd love it haha!

[joe29392]

what synth is old blakey boy running??

[Treeman987]

@joe29392 Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08

[vukdim]

well mr blake should really  meet burial...dont u think?

[engwall35]

Anybody know what James is using to process his vocals? Just a vocoder?

[shawofspades]

What is the drummer using to trigger the samples?

[DaMVD990]

@shawofspades It's the guitarist triggering them using the roland sampler.

[shawofspades]

@DaMVD990 I saw the guitarist was doing that mid-way through. Researching, I think the drummer is using something like the Roland SPD-S or something similar.

[carolus38]

from 4:25...look into the crowd...there is a guy with a blue t shirt...he's so got the rythm of this music...he cannot stop moving...this is me listening to James Blake live...if you don't move when you listen to this...it means you are not getting the full power of this awesome sound....

[Music4Jinksy]

3.34 isss tooooooo muchhhh!!!! fuck

[xxjash100xx]

[ZODAK2]

@CJman327 I would go as far as saying that he's a beast.

[jakkelyd]

[WeirdBeach]

[BlingArthur]

@WeirdBeach your right! Rick that crazy mofo

[OfficialSubstance]

[ymechaie]

i had a dream that me and james blake became friends and he had a really hot 16 yr old sister and we hooked up, shit was so cash

[TRAILSTAR123]

@ymechaie you dont know how happy that just made me

[janassis]

and also love his smile in 3:30 when the drummer deliver it with perfection.

[janassis]

I love the fact that he keeps his drummer in the middle of stage.

[hackjamminify]

Holy santa claus shit!

[smoyzil]

Drummer made me moist



[jp7ferrer]

the only flaw in this video is the public! i saw this in portugal optimus alive 11 and jesuus we went crazyyy in this remixed cmyk, especially at 3:34, it gives you such a boost!!
