Cosmix!

retweeting this from nutstosoup

A Funkineven & Mr. Wonderful collaborative mix going by the name Cosmix! A pun...?

70's, 80's & those who are bringing it back today.

Investigate.

There are a couple of cuts on this that refuse to leave my headspace. *discogs spree*

No ID No Entry

a beautiful selection from Blundetto. Not too sure where I came across him/her/them. .

but that doesn't matter. .

...in my dreams the Soprano's next series would be soundtracked something a little like this.

MP3: Blundetto - No ID No Entry

TL

Arthur Prysock "I need your love"

Gary Burton "Las Vegas Tango"

Shuggie Otis "Island Letter"

Harry Muddie "Jam #1"

Joe Pass "A time for us"

Curtis Mayfield "Hard times"

The Professionals "Back stabbers"

Tesfa Mariam Kidane "Heywete"

El Michels Affair "C.R.E.A.M."

Mahavishnu Orchestra "You know you know"

Cedric Im Brooks "Satta Massa Gana"

Joya Landis "When the lights are low" (Blunde' edit)

Irma Thomas "Hurt's all gone"

Nyah Earth "Knight of the long knives"

Layers

Further to my Dublab Proton Drive post. . . where I touched on the rewards for donating. .

One of these audio gifts that I have been fortunate to hear. . .is Take AKA Sweatson Klank's 'Sweatson's Trajectory' Mix CD. This guy may not be blowing up in your face right now. . but by the looks of thing's he's certainly on the slow burn. Some of the new pieces I've been fortunate to hear will certainly make you sit up and take more notice.

Moovmnt recently clocked on to this. Forthcoming pieces noted there. . Including streams of his FlyLo and Architeq remixes. soon to hit wax. both are huge. Oh yeah... European tour dates too!

But the mix.

which is available to stream in the soundcloud player below. .

is by far one of the most effortlessly flowing pieces of music I have heard in a long time. Knitting together everything from Joker to TV on the Radio to Bobby Hutcherson to Enemy Earth. (TrackList) It takes a real musical head to be able to layer sounds together this well. .

Listen ! Sleep to it. Dance to it. Drink to it. Anything. .

If you like it. . . find a way to support him and Dublab.

You can grab a hard copy, either when its pressed later on in the summer (will be copies UK way) OR donate to the appropriate Dublab package to receive it and more.

Artwork by Augustine Kofie. Who is on a superhuman level right now.

L E V I T A T I O N S

Musique Large. Home to Fulgeance, Debruit, this beautiful Take mix. And an annoying web player that tries to blow my speakers out every time I visit.

But let's not dwell. Or rather, lets dwell on one of the many positives.

Today, although slightly delayed on it, is the day that I pass on this brilliant mix from the man TAKE. a. K. a Sweatson Klank

A lot of people try and give lessons in beats, but only few do it right. Use this as a future benchmark. .

sunday walkman mix

another thing that has been warmly glowing amid my bookmarks is this mix from Jamie Vex'd.

(..via the LuckyMe collective..)

He used to be part of a duo that made dubstep that I didn't care for.

Now he seems to be making something I do care for.

and mixing things I love.

spaceBeat Travels

the stars put me onto this one night early last month. . .

. . Working my way through a few internet radio shows on my google reader I came across a backlog of Micheal Rutten's soulsearching shows. I chose #569.

& at the end of what was already a very strong, diverse schooling in music from all across the map - came this. . . Courtesy of the UK's Emanative.

an exquisitely beautiful, effortlessly listenable passage of music. and in a day and age where people are churning podcasts/selections out bi-weekly and the like - it's a real pleasure to listen to something where you can feel the effort the selector has put in.

oh yeah the small matter of an Album on the way. Details will be here . .

FlyLo @ The Do-Over (25th May)

Been reading about this party for a while now - all of LA's cool kids meet here every sunday without FAIL.

The line up is allllllways stupidly good. House Shoes / Rhettmatic / Dam Funk / FlyLo / Karriem Riggins to name but a few. .

Well this morning I got hold of (FlyLo Myspace) what I'm guessing is a snippet of (25 Minutes) of FlyLo's set.

MP3: Flying Lotus - @ The Do-Over (May 25th 2008)
(Zshare Mirror)

Some of the beats are far too vicious for breakfast time.

Sweeney Kovar's the authority on this.

EP 1

To celebrate the release of the new Harmonic 313 EP (Pictured above), Mark Pritchard threw down this guest mix for the Mary Anne Hobbs show. I've managed to chase down an MP3 of it, and its been one of my daily listens for the last couple of days. Far far far out beats. . You like. . .try find the Ep. . it was limited. . but if you can track down a copy its more than worth it.

French Touch Vol. 1

You may remember my past love affair with french house. It's back thanks to this.

NYC's Dj Benny B on the decks, I've never been but I can imagine its worth checking out his monthly residencies if your in that area...all I have heard has been good. . . Pass through his myspace to show some appreciation at least.

08 Bar Mixtape

My friend Sotu The Traveller (hooked) me up with this the other week. . I don't want to harp on about it, mainly because I don't know anything about it. Just that it originates from Tom Trago's work at 08Bar.. possibly our equivalent of CDR. .

I don't have a tracklisting yet, but i'm sure if i ask real nicely il be able to get one. Its beats, jazz, and some soul. . complEtely seamless. Just wait till Carolina bela kicks.

Gravious 2008 Mixtape: Pt. 1

On the strength (beauty) of 'Temple Ball' I found myself hitting Gravious' myspace one night. . It was there that I found this seamless mix up of tunes from his back catalog. . Beautifully pieced together, with randomly placed vocal samples that aid in bridging any gaps that appear along the way. It's been my bedtime listening for the last week. It's that nice.

What's better is that there is a Pt.2 on the way. . with a whole bunch of cuts that are yet to see the light of day. More news on that soon.

TRG Afterhours Studio Mix December 07

Happy new year.... hope that you all get what you want from 2008. I don't really feel like recapping 2007 in any shape or form, it was an incredible year for music regardless of genre. . But, although there has been a temporary lull over the festive period, things are about to take off again.. And I'd personally much rather concentrate on that.

So, 2007 was supposed to be Dubsteps year of glory. . Possibly. Maybe it will leap even higher in 2008. .

TRG, a producer-stroke-dj I am becoming very fond of, closed the year off with this mix - don't be fooled, while many of Dub's big names are missing from the tracklist. . names on it are of those who are sure to be pushing the boundaries over the next year. Not to say the big guns won't be of course.

Specifically enjoy the last few tracks.. some beautiful interplay between Dj TRG and another new favourite of mine, Martyn. Both will be pressing new tracks in 08. . make sure you don't miss them, by keeping your eyes on their spaces.

Lastly, enjoy the music.

If you like your dubstep bass before brains. . I'm not on the same tip. So you may be disappointed. A deep tune is good, but all the ones showcased in this are deep AND artistically so.
