Biography

Dif Juz was an influential, primarily instrumental, British group that created uniquely atmospheric effects-laden music with dynamic emotional range during the early to mid 1980s. They were primarily influenced by dub and reggae, but their style did not adhere strictly to those conventions.

    It does get annoying when people [...] base their acceptance of every other sg band based solely off arbitrary comparisons to MBV. [2] omg, this.

    No one's being a hipster. It does get annoying when people think MBV are the end-all be-all shoegaze band, and base their acceptance of every other sg band based solely off arbitrary comparisons to MBV.

    "I immediately mention this band to see if people are really into shoegaze." Stop being little hipsters.

    Quite honestly... the bestest band that has existed in all of existence.

    While I am a big fan of MBV throughout their evolution (except for that very, very boring Post-Punk album they did with only one good song!), I do think Loveless (certainly in this day and age) is referenced way too frequently. Hell, MBV itself begins and ends with Loveless for a lot of people, and that sucks because their older stuff's good too. I have only listened to one Beach House album, so I cannot really comment, but it was pretty unremarkable from what I can remember about it. Not bad, but also not very moving or memorable. Anyway, yeah, DJ is the shiz-briz, and they always will be. I will know that I have officially lost all that remains of my soul the day I decide I'm tired of listening to Huremics.

    I like MBV but they're indeed wayyy too overrated. I very rarely meet people into these genres who ever even heard of Dif Juz.

    Whenever I meet someone who's allegedly into dream pop/shoegaze, I immediately mention Dif Juz. I've received many puzzled looks thus far, no doubt because they assume the style begins and ends with MBV and Beach House. Fuck that overhyped shit. Doesn't hold a goddamn candle to DJ.

    PS: No offense to Lisa Gerrard fans, I'm just not one of them... Hell, I was never even very into DCD, and I am generally a big 4AD fan.

    Yep, that is exactly why... it's just weird to me that they weren't more popular in general, especially considering people like Lisa Gerard can release painfully banal, overproduced "Neo-Classical" snoozefests like The Mirror Pool, and people eat it up... Seems like DJ are just one of the 4AD bands that everyone forgot, but I still don't really know why. No justice, dammit!

    You're right -- I forgot about that comp. Makes sense.

    Probably because No Motion is on the Lonely Is An Eyesore 4AD compilation.

    Yeah, you're right. Happens with soo many artists, sadly. Oh well, it's their losses!

    You'd THINK... But then this is sadly true of a lot of artists. In some cases, the worst songs are the most popular even. Well, that's life I guess. Currently taking a swim in "Marooned". :)

    No Motion is indeed a great track, but you'd think people would listen to more than just that one track or something.
