Ginz and Kool Money Kwame

Thirteenth release on Pinch's seminal Earwax Recordingd, one of two record labels he runs, the other being Tectonic. Purple boys Ginz and Kool Money Kwame team up for these new 12'' bangers which you have definitely heard if you caught the any of the Joker U.S. dates and many of the mixes and lives sets from the past year from Gemmy, Guido, Silkie, Quest or Chefal. Big tunes as always dripping with mind-bending synth riddims and that sound we all know and love but cannot put into any other words except, PURPLE. Cop this shit for sure great tunes instant classics.

Jack Sparrow

For the unofficial 100th post, unofficial because I was asked to remove probably a dozen or so over the course of the year, I chose the young phenom Jack Sparrow whose effortless dubstep has been bending genres since his first release way back when. His live sets and mixes incorporate elements of house, garage, funky and dubstep yet his productions are mainly garage influenced, deep, dark dubstep. I have been waiting for this to drop for awhile Terminal has been all over the place the past year and its flipside, Torment, is just as hot. Fans of Synkro, Kryptic Minds or Faib big tip.....

RSD

If you have not heard of RSD and this track in particular you must have been living under a rock the past few years. Seen on playlists from Joker to Skream to UK Funky crossover king L-Vis 1990, Naked Mariokart has gotten its fair share of play time in clubs all over the world. After a delayed release due to sampling rights, as is often the case with many of these tracks, RSD follows up his success in 2009 with this big drop in the first quarter of 2010. A must have for fans of electronic music in general and dubstep in particular. Massive 12" definitely picking it up on vinyl......BUH BUH BADA BUH BADA DA DA DA DUM!

Terror Danjah

The living legend steps up for the 31st release from the Hyperdub imprint that dropped earlier this week. Having influence on some of the biggest players in the game: Joker, Guido, Mala and Kode9, Terror Danjah has some of the most unique and pulse pounding sounds out there. His instrumental album Gremlinz came out last year and plays like a greatest hits album from 2003-2009. Though there are many amazing tracks on that compilation, I believe these two tracks are some of his best efforts to date. Both tracks play on the tropical bass swing themes present in both UK Funky and
dubstep these days and are dripping with his signature technicolor synths. This is really pushing Hyperdub in a new direction...big tip

Fantastic Mr. Fox

First and foremost I want to apologize for the lack of posts I have been super super busy with school and work.....Anyways the man of the hour is Fantastic Mr. Fox. He treads on that thin line between broken, bubbling 8-bit beats and pulse pounding dubstep and even crosses ever so slyly into the garage/house/2-step realm . Right now there is not many producers as inventive and dynamic as FMF; definitely a cat to watch for in 2010. With a remix by one of the biggest in the game right now, SBTRKT, and every track standing out in its own right, Sketches is a must have for your collection. Get it proper an amazing release....
