Please tell me about:

Shystie
DJ Deekline
DJ Assault

The DJ Deekline mix of Shystie's "New Style" is my track of the year so far, though I gather that earlier versions of the track have been kicking around for a while. Shystie got drowned out on a mediocre track back on the Run The Road compilation, and that was all I knew about her, but now I want to know everything. I gather that Deekline has been getting attention since the early '90s, and I ran across the excellent Stanton Warriors Mix of "Handz Up" recently. (Sorry U.K. residents, those are both YouTube links, though if they don't work, you can try this imeem for "Handz Up," and the Shystie video which is YouTube but from a non-"premium" user.)

My knowledge of DJ Assault is confined entirely to what's on these two links, and the four tracks or so I've heard of his:

Detroit "ghettotech" guy, most of his stuff released second half of '90s, first half of '00s.

The usual questions )

It is a truism that anything is similar to, and also different from, anything else. It depends, we usually say, on the criteria. To the man who speaks of similarity or of analogy, we therefore at once pose the question: similar with respect to what? In this case, however, that is just the question that must not be asked, for an answer would at once provide us with correspondence rules. Acquiring exemplars would teach the student nothing that such rules, in the form of criteria of resemblance, could not equally well have supplied. Doing problems would then be mere practice in the application of rules, and there would be no need for talk of similarity.

It resembles the child's puzzle in which one is asked to find animal shapes or faces hidden in the drawing of shrubbery or clouds )
