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..

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.

And to further expose my so obvious boner for this dude, check out my set, PotsnPans, featuring two tunes from the (second) newest EP !

XI putting the Squeeze down once again..

It's no surprise that Toronto's XI is getting attention from some very big names overseas, the most recent being Benji B who dropped his upcoming release on Orca Recordings the other morning on BBC's Radio 1. He is pushing a sound that is beginning to get overpopulated, but easily maintains a very strong individuality that sets him apart from the onslaught of 808 samples and syncopated percussion that have become so popular as of late. With an arsenal of well-received releases and remixes and fresh off a US tour, Christian Andersen has made the move over to Europe(Berlin, specifically) and the results look promising. In his time there he has already opened during a Hotflush release party, and has become acquainted with the likes of Scuba, Machinedrum, and others doing big tings. I expect nothing but badness in the future from XI, and to start it off here is his(soon to be) first release of 2012. "Squeeze" is more tame than we're used to, as it makes great use of space as opposed to the brilliant layering and synthesis we're used to hearing. Nothing but love for this dude, bigup!
