It’s no secret that we’re huge Kahn fans. The multitalented Bristolian producer is the man behind some of the filthiest basslines this side of legality, and his remix prowess is remarkable. The last time we were officially blessed with a pure Kahn original was way back in October with the viciously excellent “Illy/Tehran” EP, but since […]

“Let’s Vibrate Together” is a collaborative effort from producers My Panda Shall Fly and Benjamin Jackson, and it’s an EP that can only be described a gloriously wacky. The tracks are fascinatingly diverse, travelling across genres with intergalactic breadth. Closing track “JS8” is propulsive yet mesmerising, with a kick that keeps your feet twitching while […]

An oxymoronic offering from US newcomer Madeaux. This one’s high octane chillout, frantic percussion collapsing underneath broken-up vocals and a piano sample or several. Featuring a variety of vocal cuts, most prominently those of Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano, “The Space Between Us” definitely keeps you on your toes. Opening with a chilling vocal sample and […]

Newcomer Airhead is yet another one that we don’t know too much about. So far we’ve got this: he’s the man behind this gorgeous Shlohmo remix, he plays guitar for James Blake and he’s releasing an EP so lovely that it might just break your heart. His track “Lightmeters” closed the “IOTDXI” compilation from R&S that […]

I would really love a mini-Joe Goddard to keep in my pocket. I could take him out and wind him up, and he would make me personalized soulful house tracks. Wouldn’t that be grand? Like all the best genre-spanning electronic music, Goddard’s remix begins with a deceptively simple hook that has you reeled in before […]

And now for something completely different – the new cut from Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti and therefore heir to the afrobeat throne), as remixed by the formidably excellent Spoek Mathambo. Mathambo, if you’re a little late on this, is a South African DJ and producer, and a boundary pusher par excellence. Ever heard any […]

In the revivalist quagmire we’re all stewing in, hearing something as crispy fresh as Timbah’s “Can’t Live Without You” EP is like being served a plate full of tropical fruit after a decade of microwaved Supernoodles. Love it or hate it, “maximalism” is here to stay. In the quest for the elusive sound of the […]
Read moreWhat were you doing in your last year of school? Nerding out in the library or setting fire to the common room? Either way we’ll hazard a guess that the majority of you weren’t getting signed to record labels and producing smooth jams. Lancaster duo Bondax, however, are doing just that. They’re all over the […]

Imagining a world where Kahn releases a sub-standard track is a futile endeavour. Presumably there’s an official investigation afoot regarding the correlation between mysterious chemicals in the Bristol water supply and the propensity of the city’s inhabitants to produce sounds that distort reality. Of more immediate interest to us, however, is the most recent track […]

Featuring Koreless? What exactly does that mean, ‘featuring’? We were hoping we’d hear Koreless’ dulcet tones providing an exclusive rap verse mid-song with many-a nonsensical adlib, in the style of a Timbaland guest verse. However, no such interlude appears, so don’t get your hopes up. No, instead it seems that Koreless is bringing his mastery […]

Lianne La Havas was an unexpected addition to the singer-songwriter panorama last year, but nonetheless a welcome one, with her gratifying balance of silken delicacy and uninhibited edge. This remix from Shlohmo is also a very welcome surprise, with the LA producer bridging the gap between himself and La Havas by focusing on what the […]

We all love free music, but isn’t it great when that music is brilliant enough to make you want to spend your bitterly-earned cash money on it? Scottish producer and DJ DFRNT‘s Cut Records started out this time last year with the admirable objective of releasing high quality music without insisting on pecuniary compensation. Even […]
