After a long hiatus, I had to post this. Highlights are Roche, Kilometer, and Divine although listening to the album straight through is a must. If you're stuck at 2nd base and need a double to get home, this is your means.

Brackles

For some reason I heave been really feeling Brackles lately. Maybe its because most of the people I know who are into dubstep have this biased view of the genre, especially in the U.S., that its all wobbles and wonks care of Rusko, Caspa, 16 Bit and Skream but in reality its a multi-faceted entity. Brackles brings a more sensible side of the sound. More like U.K. garage than dubstep but still has that deeper dubstep appeal. Mary Anne Hobbs is a huge Brackles fan and slowly I have become one too...I only have these two EPs, one of which features a track with Brackles collaborator Shorstuff, but I am looking forward to his new full length to pop up soon on Planet Mu.......

Andy Votel

Andy Votel's first compilation for Fat City Recordings stands out as one of his best and most vibrant of releases. Rare edits and breaks from the U.K., U.S., Hungary, Germany and Turkey. These are some of Votel's favorite tracks and he has compiled it beautifully. He is a master curator and collector of rare and forgotten sounds and recordings and is not afraid to share these gems with the world. One of my favorite compilations of his to listen to and I just recently have collected them all and this first one still stands out as best....

Tandy Love and Mad Smooth

Tandy Love and Mad Smooth (anagrams for Dom Thomas and Andy Votel) the geniuses of Finders Keepers crew......Both music archivists and collectors of old and rare psychedelia, jazz, R&B and rock vinyl. These two have releases under their names but do not live up to the records they used to chop an screw this gem.......All the track titles and the original artists are anagrams as well, to piss us off I think, others would call it art......anyways this is a great edit to listen to any time but I frequent it in the car....Released on the Fat City Recordings outfit, the people who brought you the "Producer" series featuring Low Limit, Mono/Poly, Mike Slott and Dabrye to name a few, this is one of my favorites and a must have for fans of The Gaslamp Killer or old Turkish, Isaeli, English, Korean, French, Spainish or Indian psychedelia and weirdness from the 60's and 70's.......if only I had a 1968 Mustang Fastback GT to listen to these nostalgic edits in I would be set for life on the real......I had thought I already posted this but came to realize I had not so without further ado.......

Mary Anne Hobbs

This is the third of Mary Anne Hobbs compilations for Planet Mu records and I MAY go as far to say as its the best but the jury is not in on this one.....Warrior Dubz and Evangeline, the two previous comps, focus more on dark electronic and dubstep sound whereas Wild Angels has more hip-hop, broken beats, future soul and lighter dubstep tunes. As always, the artists selected for the compilations are the who's who of electronic music and frequently appear on her show for BBC Radio 1. This is one compilation not to sleep on and if you can scoop the previous two as well they are just as hot......

Teebs

Teebs is a member of the now notorious Brainfeeder crew. He has said for some time now that he has a CDR ready for copping but did not have the cord to plug his camera into his computer to retreive the cover art......excuses excuses........but not all is lost......last week at The Crosby in Santa Ana, CA (The OC for all you cool kids) Teebs distibuted 50 CDR copies of his original material....prior to this I had one Teebs mix, which is from MAH in April of this year and is also the first track on here thats 15:44, and one track he accompanied Jackhigh on so needless to say I was all about copping this and for good reason its sick! All the tracks are untitled, a little vexing, but the caliber of music trumps any woes I had with his decision to leave them unnamed.

Blank Blue

Elvin Estela (aka Nobody) and Niki Rand combined forces late last year to spawn a new sonic, vocal and experimental group known as Blank Blue....Nobody's production mixed with Niki's infectious vocals makes for an awesome album and live show (from what I have read)......I listen to this album when I am trying to sleep or sometimes in the shower....weird I know but true nonetheless..... My favorites on this album are Eyes Closed, All Shallows Deep, Blank Blue and Up.................Melodic, sonic with beautiful production so enjoy

Nosaj Thing

When I first heard Nosaj Thing about two years ago I remember not being to impressed or anything. My has this guy come a long way since then. This Demo 2008 EP has solidified Nosaj Thing as a major player in the hip-hop and electronic music realms. The last track, Aquarium, was used by Kid Cudi for his uber popular Man on the Moon which Nosaj Thing gets production credits for....All the tracks on this EP are gems I listen to this frequently in the car and is set to be an instant classic so enjoy the beats.....
