vvv

my producer of the moment. unbelievably beautiful music tied to both the low end and the stars. add vvv to your watch list. releases coming in 2010.

You know just how much I get off on those vocal snip's. His soundcloud is a daily haunt of mine.

snippet of back to life. the outstanding, outstanding cut  from those i've heard.

Yeah i'm hyped. but isn't that what good music should do to us? 

LDN015

deep and swinging. it may be too early to call it but I feel this may be one of the favourite things keysound have put out. Sully - who if Dusk&Blackdown are to be believed - is just getting started on releasing a whole slew of mindblowers.

Out sooon. . .

WA6

the next 30 days are going to be a lot if you're a follower of uk electronic music. make sure you pick up what you need though, cause late december - early january is dead as far as releases go.  I know I will need  multiple things to tide me over.

The above video is one of the records I will be purchasing before the year is out. Harry Craze (Antisocial) on deep medi. Out tomorrow. The A side 'WA6' is absolutely beautiful. can't be denied whether your into this sound or not.

you know that feeling in your stomach when you look at the tracklisting of what is sure to be an incredible mix. yeah...? Well that. For Fabric50. by Martyn.

this is that song right now. Guido proving it isn't just post-joker hype.

my r&b thing is being stretched in all directions right now. .

Out now on Punch Drunk - digitally and physically.

Under The Sheets #2

Pariah's late night rework of Ellie Goulding's 'Under The Sheets' - another beautiful piece of work to add to his XX remix

part of Ellie Goulding's EP which appeared on Itunes today. .

*soft spot*

take

my type of r&b

rumoured to be from Skream's forthcoming longplayer. . .

so beautiful and detached. I could soundtrack a million sleepless nights with an LP on this tip

unbalance

2562 has readied another album for the Tectonic imprint. . .

definitely feeling influences from the current post-garage mixture that is getting love this and next year. but unlike how much of the material currently masquerading under that label now is 100% geared to tear a club, unbalance maintains the listen-at-home status that his previous album had. Yeah, it'll tear, but you also don't get sick of it if your rinsing it on headphones. A perfect balance I guess. The pun was coming.

You should also make damn sure to check this out - 'Rework/Closer' - just dropped from the same man under a different name.

Album landing 2nd November. And boy, you better not sleeep.

Show Me

Forthcoming for Von D on Black Acre Records.

Find me someone who creates a mood as well as this. . .

theres a skreamix too if you like things heavy rather than sexy

Aesaunic EP

news of the next Hotflush Recordings release has arrived in the inbox. Label head, Scuba is the creator. A 5track EP with names that suggest the music is darker than it is.

I'm not a poet so I'm going to leave the description to the video above....

19th October - digi and physi.

Strings Detached EP

Blue Daisy is about to claim the fourth quarter with this EP. Out on Black Acre, a label I have the upmost respect for -

transitions smoothly between the sounds we know and those we don't.

'Wolf' is an incredible trip.



remember the name.

Colours.

UStream's aren't just for pirating foootball matches. A lot of switched on producers are using them in a smart way to connect with listeners.

Ikonika played an amazing set late last night - with newbits from her forthcoming hyperdub album, bristol pieces, some exciting Greena and a new Mala piece.

details + download link @ dubstepforum

And however exciting this blossoming future dubstep/garage scene is, a lot of dj's are playing the same tracks in their sets. So I recommend this not only for the fact it was streamed live on Ustream, but also on the newness, and freshness of the tracks and selections.

rework/closer

2562/A Made Up Sound/Dave Huismans always comes with a distinctive brand of dub/techno. Always of great production quality but sometimes a little bit toooo Berlin for my liking.

But this release is his first to really make make me sit up and search. Heard one of the sides (if i'm honest, still not sure which. .) on BenUFO/Shortstuff/Oneman (?) b2b on rinse one night and managed to find it listed on clone.nl after Ben graciously fielded my query.

I still can't really describe why I feel them so much more exciting than previous output - possibly the way they were used - possibly just a figment of my imagination.

See some details (soundclips) at clone, & decide for yourself -

on a sidenote, the mans got the moments factmix - and a surefire keeper.

figstep

taken tooooo long to blog this. absolutely brilliant mix from the one man sbtrkt.


Autumn domination about to entail. .

hyperdub 5

I'll point you in the right direction but I'm certainly not going to try and put my spin on the information. That would just be self important.

. . should sit together more often than they currently do.

Dbridge's nonplus+ label is on 002. And this collaboration with Instra:mental is a little bit special.

if one were boomkat, they may label it a 'Killer 12"'

but this time, it really is - for what my opinions are worth.

my next goal is to hear this on a suitable system

SO. listen to tramma/watching you at the myspace

then show the colour of your money at boomkat. simple.

HEK005

more October newness coming, this time from Hemlock label head Untold. 6 tracks. 2 plates. 12 inches.

samples are up on the myspace, but if you've been giving any of your time to UK underground music in the last year you'll most likely have heard this guy's sounds doing all manner of damage in raves, on pirates. .

In addition to this - a 12" comprising of the following. . will also be dropping in early October. .

Stop What Your Doing (James Blake Remix)
I Can't Stop This Feeling (Pangaea Remix)

(. .more likely to know the sounds rather than the track names. . )

And if we cast our ears even further afar. .

LV. James Blake. Untold collabs.

but what with the current slow burning James Blake release (Hek004). . we've got plenty to tide us over until then. .

Bravery E.P.

'Going to attempt to fool people with yet another bedroom listening IDM album disguised as a UKG album!!!'

I ripped that from his tweetfeed. How 2009.

But the end result is the same . FaltyDL will be dropping an 8 track EP/Album on Planet Mu come October.

And being on Planet Mu, efficient as they are, the artwork and soundclips are already up on their website. Now when was the last time a label, artists www. was actually useful.

I'm most likely going to sing about this some more when the promo comes through. . . but from the samples. . the bits and pieces of unreleased I've heard about. . and the frequency of releases. . i think it's clear he's one of the most creative and prolific electronic producers around at the moment.

Back Home

Gold Panda (from here) just came through with a brilliant little video to give 'Back Home' a little context.

London.

2 very exciting pieces of UK bass music set to hit on Keysound Recordings by the time the month is out. 'Harpy' is too deep.
