Tessela – D Jane/Channel
Straight up bass and beats from the West Country as Tessela smashes into 2012 with this monster on Punch Drunk. Due to drop in February it’s hard to pick a favourite between the 2 tracks. “D Jane” has a bit more of a wonky vibe to it while “Channel” is a more linear affair. One [...]
Phuturelabs’ Top Mixes Of 2011
We have had a great response to our 2011 lists so far and as its coming up to Hogmanay (Scottish for New Year) we thought we would pick out some of our favourite mixes of the year to either get the party started or keep the party going. There have been hundreds of quality mixes [...]
Pangaea – Hex/Fatalist EP
Pangaea is back on Untold’s label Hemlock with a 2 tracker that has its DNA firmly in the jungle/DnB gene pool. Due for release mid September the filtered, 2 step rhythm and stuttering vocal of “Hex” sits snugly over the warping bass. “Fatalist” on the other hand feels more like a techno track, with a [...]
Saturday Snacks #16
You may not know this but one half of the Labs collective is currently in Oz for a long holiday. That has not stopped Cliff from posting tunes and also gathering some tasty beats from down under that we will hear more of in the coming weeks. To mark this journey we have an Ozzy [...]
SBTRKT – SBTRKT
Our friends at the Hype Machine have secured a full stream of the upcoming SBTRKT album. We have been enjoying it for a few weeks now, so we are glad that you can so the same. The self titled work is due out on the 27th June on Young Turks.
Deep Teknologi – The Remixes
The past year or so have been good to T. Williams and his Deep Teknologi imprint, with Williams’ “Heartbeat” (released on Local Action) popping up at number 3 in the dance tracks of the year on iTunes and the label releasing three EPs of cutting edge goodness. Now they’ve decided to draft in the remixers [...]
Hissy Fit – Top 10 of 2010
We asked our man Hissy Fit to give us his take on 2010 and he has given us a stellar selection of beats to get into. He also has a new EP out now on Swing and Skip called “Berry”. You can pick the whole thing up here and also grab the “Berry Dubby Dub” [...]
Lazer Sword – Lazer Sword
Hot on the heels of their “Batman” EP, Lazer Sword are gearing up for the release of the self titled first album at the start of November. Expect all the usual synth antics, 80′s breaks and thick vintage bass lines from Lando Kal and Low Limit and they march on through 2010 suited in neon [...]
Kingthing – Mad Hatter EP
Glasgow label Fortified Audio has made quite a mark with it’s first 3 releases and is sure to go even further with this brilliant EP from Kingthing. Falling somewhere between dubstep, garage and glitchy electronica, the EP’s four tracks dodge pigeonholing with ease and the over-riding element throughout is a big ol’ trailer full of [...]
Kode 9 – You Don’t Wash (Martyn rmx)
Kode 9′s long awaited Dj Kicks album surfaced this week and for all followers of top quality bass driven music in all it’s forms, it’s a must have. The mix is packed end to end with amazing beats from the likes of Zomby, The Bug, Ikonika and Digital Mystikz but one of the highlights was [...]
