Finally released the second 2000F & JKamata team up Something or Nothing Remix originally by Turboweekend....I have been looking for this single since the first time I heard it late last year.....It is the ninth release, dropped today, Aug 31st, from Kraken Recordings and probably my favorite.....I am so stoked on the release of this remix I posted it ASAP so enjoy as much as I do.....
Silkie has been a player on the scene for awhile now.....With his induction into the purple gang out of Bristol, Silkie's simplistic, dubbed out approach to dubstep has been showing up in track-listings for many major dubstep DJs around the world. There is no doubt you will recognize Purple Love, The Horizon and Beauty from Joker's Sonar set and other mixes I have posted or suggested to download.....This is one dubstep album that you can listen to all the way through without getting a headache from wonky wobbles cuz as I said Silkie has a minimalistic approach.....this is a must have in my opinion
This little diddy came out in April of this year and is Caspa's debut album...its got DnB tracks as well as garage and grime tracks but never strays to far from the typical wonky dubstep sound....There alot of nice cameos from the top UK's grime and hip-hop game.....that coupled with the genre-bending antics make for a very versatile and listenable album enjoy....
This is a continuation from the first Best of MAH post in June. For this installment I have chosen some of the hottest mixes ever to grace the airwaves on BBC Radio 1 Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental Show. The first mix comes from the Gaslamp Killer....of course......sorry but this guys is unbelievable cannot wait to catch him at Decibel. This mix was recorded for MAH in late May for The Low End Theory Special and at only 12 minutes long is one of my favorite GLK mixes I own......The next two come from the legendary X Chromosome Special in April of this year. I posted Nadsroic's mix from that show and now I'll add the ladies of Hyperdub Records Cooly G and Ikonika.....The last mix for this addition of Best of MAH comes from the brilliant Brackles from a June show this year.....he just always lays it down so here there are enjoy.....
Cooly G is the newest member of the Hyperdub family. Her first EP on the label was released earlier this year and showcases her multiple talents. She is a prodcuer, DJ, singer/rapper and is sure to be making bigger waves in 2010 with her unique approach to the dubstep sound. Another split EP will be released later this year in the Hyperdub 5 compilation in honor of five years of Hyperdub est. in 2004. That will include her other single "Weekend Fly." Look for an album late next year hopefully......until then enjoy this EP
In honor of Kraken Recordings ninth EP being released on Monday August, 31 I have decided to give all my avid readers the previous eight recordings 2000F's record label has already released. All 16 of these tracks are dubstep staples and the artists, I believe, deserve as much attention as the "major" players on the scene.....Hopefully I can concvince some of you that Kraken Recordings are just as relevant as Warp, Hyperdub, Planet Mu and Tectonic dubstep artists.
The mysterious Durlin Lurt released this free album, Him Jenson, through his myspace account which disappeared shortly after its drop. From what I remember this cat is from Boston but not much else is known about him. This album uses all Jim Henson samples from Sesame Street and The Muppets.....It seems corny on paper but it is a really chill, lo-fi beat tape that makes for an amazing listen. Track three entitled Crayonz is sampled from the music used in the background during the Sesame Street segment in the Crayola factory. The first time I heard I was immediately transported back to the first time I saw the crayons being shot up and down, over and under through the factory....it seems stupid but has some killer beats so enjoy....
For post number 50 I have selected GLK. The Gaslamp Killer got his name from DJing in the posh Gaslamp District of San Diego. Since then he has been tearing up crowds from L.A. to Barcelona and everywhere in between. This is his first release on Brainfeeder and I think is one of the best EPs of 2009 thus far....Though released earlier this month, this EP still recieves preferential treatment on my stereo.
I know I have not posted anything in over a month but honestly I have not found anything worth posting until now.....The long awaited last installment of the L.A. EP series is finally here....Set to be released tomorrow, L.A. 3X3 has two unreleased tracks as well 5 remixes and refixes by some of today's best and most influential producers.....
