Psychic Sidekicks

Grab this track from them, Top of The World Inst._ This tune rolls through with very little regard for anything; time, space. Delightfully bouncy while staying grounded to an over quantized slub pulse dees ones a winna!

I cedaa light! (cedaa what i did there?)

   all jokes aside, do yourself a favour and check out ceeda aka Simon Ho. Remixing the likes 5kin&Bone5 and Canblaster, these ghetto friendly anthems reek like smokin' stoogies in your parents whip. so roll down the windows and sip slow - shit's potent.


                                       Mess kid - Sip Slow (Cedaa remix)

Wtf is 'Jungle'?

I dunno either. I think it sounded like this with less claps. Dream Continuum is Machinedrum and Om Unit, both known for reworking classics like these. In terms of their "Reworkz EP", justice is done in my unappreciated opinion. Buy it..

Call the AMBALANCE..

If you're unfamiliar with Toronto's own XI, then get to know. His new collaborative project (with lesser known Toronto producer Skeleton Bone), AMBALANCE, is a lot slower than what you would normally hear from him; and shows off a side of XI that I've been waiting to hear. Artists that have been doing it for a while seem to branch off and be able to make mature, creative music, all whilst putting their undeniable stamp on it. This is demonstrated very clearly on their new EP, "Cokewave", and it's nice to know there is an artist out there to make Christian Andersen produce slow, soupy, sidechained headbobbers. He's back in the western world to tour with Zed's Dead, and while I think everybody knows it's good for him to be in Berlin, I also think it's nice that he's home. Big fan of his personally, and this side project is definitely up to par.

The Micronaut - Friedfisch

I randomly came across The Micronaut's song "Schleie" on youtube and was blown away; both by the production and the composition. I decided to grab the entire album from this unknown German producer and holyyyyyy shit. This guy is seriously talented. Not for a nobody, just in general. This single album blows away pretty much 75% of the electronic hipster bullshit being put out. Dude is on pure vibes. The entire album is comprised of influences from hip hop, dubstep, 2-step booty bidness, garage, and a pinch of house. Not to mention the absolutely wonderful assortment of acoustic instruments used in these arrangements. I can really only compare it to Mount Kimbie, and before that throws you off I'm speaking strictly in terms of diversity and the assortment of instruments used. Personally, I am hooked. No doubt you will be too. And if you didn't get the fucking message - This guy is unreal. Every tune. Every click. Every boop.
Download his free EP, (which I have yet to listen to but I'm sure it'll be no slouch) "DIE Gewurz", here.
And the album I have fallen in love with, "Friedfisch" here in 320. And here in FLAC. If anybody deserves your money for their good music it's this guy. Please buy this album if you enjoy as much as I did, or just spread the links because people need to hear this dude. Digital here. 12" here (may have to search for it because the site isn't stellar).

Machinedrum

Fuck you if you don't understand how good he is. Composition, creativity, production, DJing, fashion, and whatever else. A word I very rarely use to describe musicians is "impressive". Guys like Travis Stewart are impressive. There's more there than your average (or not-so-average) producer, and I guess what it comes down to is he just seems too good. There's no filler, there's no bullshit. One of the things that makes him so interesting is the fact that the music he makes and the music he spins are two completely different stories. This cat just released two very good EPs in two months, and two hour long mixes in two weeks. My background is in jungle, a dead genre, and I would be in denial if I said I didn't have an extra love for him simply because he loves to spin it. A lot of these post-shitstep DJs are very ambitious with their track selections, and although James Blake is getting very good at it, I have yet to hear anybody mix tunes of this nature as tightly as Machinedrum. Lately I've come to realize that I like him so much because his percussion and bass production is simply outstanding, and it's clearly because jungle still has such an influence on what I'm attracted to. That was before I listened to this set of 160bpm badness for Mixmag. If you actually know how to spin, and appreciate others who can as well, then do yourself a favour and just put this on.

Listen/download another speedy hour long set from the Solid Steel Radio Show here !
And to further expose my so obvious boner for this dude, check out my set, PotsnPans, featuring two tunes from the (second) newest EP !

           This batch ain't for you fuckin bitches. the rabit gets physical with a wicked blend of gully vocals and some gehttotech percussion guaranteed to make you junkies twitch.

Flosstradamus Release Free EP..

Or "FreeP" if you're a prick. Like I said in my last post about these dudes, I never paid attention when I was younger, but whatever they are doing now seems to be working for me. This shit is like having Lunice in one ear and trance in the other; with huge screaming synth chords, builds, and samples, but with gangster trap percussion and basslines. Somehow this works, and it works extremely well. Before I say too much, just download this. 

This was Hoax's find, not mine. I'm just reporting like a good hipster badbwoy would.

Treats from Skream..

Word on the street three years ago is that Skream runs the dubstep show. All jokes aside, we love him (and Benga) here in Toronto and they seem to like us back; always offering a great show, great music, and lots of dubplates :). Skream recently remixed Rusko's new tune "Somebody To Love", from his forthcoming sophomore LP "Songs". One of my downfalls is often when I find a remix, I give almost zero fucks about giving the original a listen just to see how much of a remix or bite it is. That being said, it's also comforting because if I'm feeling this then there is no reason for comparison. My thoughts on this one are a tad scrambled, but my ass is telling me undoubtedly to dance, so fuck what ya heard and grab this. Available as a free wav download from soundcloud(60mb~), or I've uploaded a 320 for ya here.

It's Different When You're Gone..

Lapalux is killing it as always. His new EP has a lot of light and dark tones, definitely switches it up a bit. If you're into hip hop/R&B influenced electronic music (Shlohmo, Evian Christ) then "When You're Gone" is a big recommendation, will definitely get a lot of plays. I've uploaded a zip with the first half of the album, buy this if you dig it. Well worth it. The track below, "Gutter Glitter", is the star out of the bunch for me, and by good chance it is actually available as a free20 download from Pitchfork. A big thing for me when it comes to artists is consistency, and I am seeing it more and more with guys like this. They just keep it real and don't stick to any set boundaries. Sounds lame, is lame. Get the music! 

Grab the zip. Buy.

Keep6on - Alby Daniels

Alby Daniels is a very little name, doing very big things. Holding down 26 followers on Twitter, this 22 year old is producing like a veteran. With influences like Shy FX, Flying Lotus, and Skream, it's almost redundant to explain how soulful, melodic, and percussion heavy his music is. From North Londontown (where else?), he has a forthcoming release on Black Acre, "This Dawn EP", which includes the first tune that got me hooked. It's the second tune in the mini-mix preview of his EP below, 128 here. The syncopated, farty RnB basslines, and infectious garage percussion show off this kid's well-rounded talents as a producer. The mood changes in the melodies and vocal are brilliant. Seriously a kid to keep your eye on and support!


And his Kiss FM Guest Mix for Sinden from earlier this month. Highly recommended! Listen here.

Kindred..

Burial's Kindred EP was just released for sale by Hyperdub Records. Burial is hands down my favourite producer. That being said, this release is fucking stunning. The production is unreal and the moodiness is extremely on point as always. I can't believe how good this is after the Street Halo release; which was good, but Untrue is a whole lot to live up to. The title track is easily a garage tune, as we've heard from Burial before, but much heavier. The second, Loner, is pushing the boundaries of his touch on 4/4 percussion. It is a straight 2-step/4 on the floor house tune. The ending of it is the genius though; a brilliant outro that commands you to slip into it. And the last tune you can think of your own bloggy description. Get this. Buy This. Seriously, buy this ish. (Stream where you buy it).
