haste Posted August 15, 2005 Report Posted August 15, 2005 Please use this thread to record acronyms for labels that are often referred to by shorter names than the "official" ones. These will be built into the search engine so that searching for the acronym brings the user to the correct page Kickin Underground Sound - KUSSophisticated Undergroud Sound - SUSJFK -- Jungle From KniteforceSAS -- Sub Assertive Sounds Can anyone think of any more?

Guest Guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Posted August 16, 2005 S.O.U.R. = Sound of the Underground Quote
Phokus Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 c4c - cause 4 concern maybe some mention that c.i.a. actually stands for Computer Integrated Audio would be good somewhere, too. Quote
The_Manipulator Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Do we need both CIA and C.I.A. and Sour and S.O.U.R.??? Also: B2B - Back 2 Basics And what about artists??? C4C goes for the artist as well as the label... But I think a lot of people shorten names... MS for Moving Shadow... LS for Liftin' Spirit and LSR for Lucky Spin... Question is which are used often and which are just used in a conversation... I personally think that even B2B isn't used often for searches on the label... Quote
STG Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Do we need both CIA and C.I.A. and Sour and S.O.U.R.??? I find it helpful. Quote
thijs Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Do we need both CIA and C.I.A. and Sour and S.O.U.R.??? no we don't. at least not with the current search engine Quote
Pablex Posted August 21, 2005 Report Posted August 21, 2005 BBC for breakbeat cultureK&W for knowledge & wisdom(not sure if the last one is really used like that) Quote
haste Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 Deejay needs to be added for Dee Jay, I know a few people have mentioned they searched for that but found nothing. I'm sure there are a few others like that as well. Following on from my Mangofunk post you might want to add Mango Funk as a search alias. Redlight for Red Light, perhaps? Might as well add SUAD for Shut Up & Dance, not that it's used much. Just means less typing for searches Quote
Phokus Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 http://www.rolldabeats.com/label/dat_pressure_records - more commonly referred to as DPR Quote
sch_pr Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 BBK for Breakbeat KaosBSE for Black Sun EmpireTOV for Trouble on VinylP51 for Project fifty-oneN2O for Nitrous Oxyde MASH stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (not so obvious for non-english-speaking people :wink: ) Quote
Phokus Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 MASH stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (not so obvious for non-english-speaking people :wink: ) Yeah, but the label name is actually M.A.S.H., not the full Mobile Army etc etc Quote
sch_pr Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Yeah, but the label name is actually M.A.S.H., not the full Mobile Army etc etc well i thought so,since it's an offshoot of hospital records, which "plays" on military design (military canvas based on the hospital logo, covers of weapons of mass creation LPs, etc...),and they launched this offshoot in order to quickly release others artists tunes.

Phokus Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 yeah, i know. I'm just saying that they've never actually referred to themselves as "mobile army surgical hospital records". they've just used "M.A.S.H" from the start as the label's name. :smile: Quote
sch_pr Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 yeah, i know. I'm just saying that they've never actually referred to themselves as "mobile army surgical hospital records". they've just used "M.A.S.H" from the start as the label's name. :smile: oh yes.was just saying that as a comment(just like for CIA is computer intagrated audio) :smile: Quote
Phokus Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 oh yes.was just saying that as a comment(just like for CIA is computer intagrated audio) :smile: :ok: :smile: gotcha! With CIA, Computer Integrated Audio appeared on a lot of the early releases?eg, http://www.rolldabeats.com/image/release/c...cia99004/side/a Quote
