The Sunday Roast – Best of the Rest…
Surprise your friends, amuse your enemies, start the party with a bang! Let’s face it- if you’re going to get a roast on it might as well be the meatiest of meaty roasts- and that can mean only one thing- The “Bacon Meat Explosion“. While you wait for this badboy to cook in the oven [...]
Young Montana? – Everything in Between – free download
Fans of Flying Lotus and Letherette should check out the below tracks by Coventry’s Young Montana? (aka Jon Pritchard). I don’t know very much about him to be honest- but with Mary Anne Hobbs calling him her favourite artist of 2010 I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of him in the future. If [...]
Talvin Singh – Traveller
Cliff’s recent post about Charanjit Singh reminded me of some other successful “east meets west” music. Released back in 1998, classically trained tabla player Talvin Singh‘s debut album “O.K” seamlessly blended Indian/ eastern Asian melodies and rhythms with the western dance music styles of intelligent drum & bass and jungle. The opening track “Traveller” is [...]

The first release from newly formed independent label Box-Horn Records, is Creeptide’s “Nerul 21″ album. Hailing from Germany, Creeptide’s tracks on the album range from 4 to the floor tech-house bangers to more IDM tinged electroey numbers, and is a promising first release for Box Horn.

Guest Mix: Seafar – Electric Space Musik Vol.2 mix
We’ve featured Seafar a couple of times on here now- first with his excellent album “Hegira“, and then with the brilliant “Electric Space Musik Vol.1” mix. Following these up is his recently completed “Electric Space Musik Vol.2” mix. An epic mix of abstract, ambient, pop with hip hop, nostalgia, and all sorts thrown in. Have [...]
Lone – The Seasons Change Mix – free download
As BTS Radio writes, “Lone bridges the gap between ’80s funk & soul, hazy afternoons in Los Angeles and House parties in Chicago.” Lone’s (aka Matt Cutler) exclusive mix for BTS Radio “The Seasons Change Mix” highlights this perfectly. A mixture of lazy funky soul house hip hop, which for me anyway, makes me daydream…. [...]
Take – Only Mountain – free download
Due for release on the Alpha Pup label on the 20th of April, Los Angeles based musician Take‘s (aka Sweatson Klank) second full length album “Only Mountain” is a cracker. Having listened to the album a couple of times now I’m still not sure how I would describe it. Elements of dubstep, IDM, electronica & [...]
DJ Shadow – Endtroducing…..
Another friday, another classic- this time in the shape of DJ Shadow‘s instrumental hip hop masterpiece “Endtroducing…..“. Released to critical acclaim in 1996, on James Lavelle‘s Mo’ Wax label, the album was created solely using samples from other records put together on a Akai MPC60. Whilst nowadays there’s a glut of artists using computers to [...]

Available on the Ninja Tunes label from the 29th of March it’s possibly his finest work to date – and an album I’ve had on heavy rotation the last few weeks. Featuring a wealth of real instruments (not heard all that often in [...]
