As is the custom, James Blake’s long-awaited essential mix for BBC Radio 1 aired at an ungodly hour yesterday night but since we live in times where everything is archived in the nick of time, today the showcase is available for anyone to fix in mind. Despite having gained immeasurable amounts of exposure in the […]
Read more1. Darling Farah – URB Burnin’ Up Mix: Darling Farah is our first love, last love, only love. Although this URB mixtape is from a while back, we couldn’t resist telling you about it for it’s already up there in our most listened to mixes – eighteen minutes of his own productions strictly, some whom have appeared on […]
Read moreWe wrote about Left Blank back in May when they put out their first release, Vessel’s “Nylon Sunset EP”. Now they’re back with a split release/collaboration from Lorca and Visionist. There’s not much out there about either, as each lets their music do the talking. Lorca recently dropped a freebie remix of Zero 7’s “Home”, from […]
Read moreMyths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. The ‘baddest bitch in the room‘ Norma Jean Bell has played quite an observable role in the Detroit music scene, but as low-key as she is it almost seems like she’s indeed a bit of a myth. Not only a momentous vocalist, but also an excellent saxophonist and pianist at […]
Read moreIf you’d told me about a hot young Irish hip-hop producer a decade ago, I’d probably have laughed at you. I can definitely remember laughing when I heard wannabe rappers on radio using American accents and then talking in their normal Dublin accents in interviews in about 2002. But times have changed. Liverpool-based Portadown native […]
Read moreNot many labels can be said to be still so influential and maintain a degree of relevancy after almost 10 years of releasing numerous records and albums as much as Dial. Whilst other similar labels have fallen apart around them, German label Dial Records have kept their head in the air as one of the […]
Read moreWe recently got our hands on the hotly-anticipated sophomore release from German production duo JTRP, whose beginning-of-2011 debut EP on still stands as one of the year’s best releases. The duo, consisting of Robophil and Jorge Takei, is known for fusing together tenebrous dubstep atmospheres with stark techno-fueled rhythms and ominous melodies. Hypnotise, set for […]
Read moreThis isn’t our first post on the Spanish producer Pional. We wrote a post on a certain Frank Ocean edit last time, whereas this time he takes control over the one and only Beyoncé and her immortal track “Crazy In Love.” The way he pitches down Knowles’ vocals seems somehow familiar, yet its the back bone of […]
Read moreStraight lean, Helix, patron. There are a lot of planetary and mathematical puns one can apply to Georgia-based producer Beau Thigpen, known under his moniker Helix. Such as, no wonder he likes loops, or, his tracks are like smooth space curves, or, something about how many parsecs he’s away from Berlin. “I mean, I’m Helix?” is […]
Read moreYoung British producer Throwing Snow (born Ross Tones) has captured our attention time and time again over the past year with his imaginative creations that deconstruct house, dubstep and garage with a focus on fractured textures and rich atmospheres. On his new Wallow EP, available next Monday on Super Recordings, the producer teams up with […]
Read moreIt’s quite unusual to hear a dance track off with on-beat strings and muffled voices, but Mr Beatnick isn’t your average producer. Ostensibly a UK hip-hop producer, his latest EP, ‘Synthetes’, takes him into the world of slow-mo disco house. The title track of the release, which dropped on vinyl last month and digital this […]
Read moreWe haven’t given anything away to download for a while, so it was great to receive an email from Error Broadcast containing a free remix by Hungarian producer Polyklinik of iL. Some of you should already have heard of iL having written about his apollo1ne3thee EP a couple of months back, if not you can […]
