Sampling? Hope so...

Monkey Zone Ninjas?

big dada is a quality label always doing their best to push what they love. I don't think she could have got a better label behind her really and I doubt she will get a better one now either. I dunno if a major should bother with her if she didn't sell with big dada, I mean shes not really proven she can do it has she. She should just shut up and let the music do the talking rather than giving the label that suported her shit. She was always a weak choice for the merc everyone but the judges noticed that I mean she was even worse than Elbow and I dunno how thats posible...

but in other big dada news!

the first 49 secons of this are sublime, the lyrics are perfect.

I wrote about it t'other day too, I don't usualy pimp this blog much so avit!

http://thesonicminefeild.blogspot.com/2009/11/maths-descent-holy-roar.html

One I'd forgot about, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one Immerse are quality.

So much quality stuff in here, 2562, Shackleton, Hyperdub, Terror Danjah, FaltyDL, Darkstar, Kowton, Deadboy. All float my boat thats some of the best music this year bar none.

Cheers for the mix too I'll get it on the download.

'not Rusko, not Skream and NOT chase and status'

they make dubstep they probibly make the most popular kind as well and been at it for years. A lot of its not my thing but it sure is dubstep.

and are you trying to say that this xx remix is dubstep as well...

but anyway I think this tune sucks but only beacuse of Florance I can't stand her voice its horrible and it doesn't work with the xx's voices either. The beat is cool he can work a good lil remix but this doesn't really cut it not compared to his own basic space remix.

I knew there was one haha

p.s. this just dropped thru my door WOOOP!

has so many amazing beat makers at the moment alot of them from Glasgow's LuckyMe crew, which is pretty much a worldwide collective now. Hudson Mohawke, Rustie (album coming on Warp prob next year), Mike Slott (half of heralds of change with hudmo, and he moved to New York), Architeq. Then the rest of the UK crew: Joker, Zomby, Slugabed, Guido, Bullion, Ikonika, lots more... I've not heard of many peeps from New York for a while now to be honest, there is loads in LA though: Flying Lotus, Smaiyam (half of FlyamSam with FlyLo), TOKiMONSTA, Mono/Poly, Gaslamp Killer, lots more...

He sure is he was almost on Rihanna's new album with a track from this 'The Fuse' but he wanted it for his album and Rihanna's peeps didn't fancy sharing or something... He's maybe working with Eryka Badu though. he says so here http://www.dummymag.com/features/2009/10/08/hudson-mohawke-that-psychedelic-yellow-brick-road-style-/

I hope my copy comes soon I've just been playing this instead http://hudsonmohawke.com/butterstargalactica/

Always nice to get a mention, I didn't even make a single this week either... I'll whip out fruity loops and see if I can make the next column with some sounds haha

I may as well mention http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/ if people want to dig deeper with the bassy business.

That Kano single is abuse to the ears but somehow Starkey twisted it into a big fun club banger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zGPOeebr9k He's got skills at making street-bass auto-tune hyper-crunk has Starkey.

and again...

:D x

he's up there with FaltyDL, 2562, Silkie, Clubroot, Kryptic Minds, Martyn and no doubt Peverelist when he drops it, as album/don't call it an album/ep with epic amounts of bass of the year award contender.

his productions are always so lame and often just bait rip offs of underground trends he's spoted, he's a good DJ though. He makes everything sound so faddy and throw away. I'll let my ears do the judging when this arrives is I really like Rolo Tomassi but it sounds like a horrible idea.

really looking forward to hearing it, its maybe my most antisipated indie album since Grizzly Bear, maybe because when those demo's leaked a while back it kind of looked like this migtht have been scrapped but also cos I foolin love everything else he's done.

Breakage & Burial - Vial

that track has been confirmed to be on Breakages album early next year.

damn good though, I think flylo's been playing it in his live sets for ages. This sounds like a recording of one of those as another track is mixed in at the end. A flylo colab has been on the cards for ages he told a hip-hop site about it last year http://ukhh.com/features/interviews/flying_lotus/index.html and not long after the track was on his myspace. I'd love to be excited by it again but I would have thought it would have come out by now if it was going to, its just another lost dub in dubstep land by the looks of it.

but if you want some grime gone a little bit pop check out...

JME - Over Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncGA3Ea4ppU
I can't get this track out of my head.

Mz Bratt ft. Sadie Ama - I Like You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsw4fUr-kA8

I can't get the JME tune out of my head it would be cool if it got backing like Tinchy and Chipmunk has, cos otherwise its not going to be on anyones radar even though its loads better. The Mz Bratt tune is a bit sugary but its kind of addictive, plus its produced by grime legend Terror Danjah.

and thought there is no way he is turning up to that I'm not even going to bother thinking about getting a ticket or attempting to go on the night.

is well nice

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tUabBcWVUw&feature=player_embedded

his newer stuff sounds really diffrent to this, I knew he'd made jungle before but I'd not heard any of it.

RT @FaltyDL Apologies to anyone anywhere who has attempted to mix my tunes, I'm aware of how hard it is and were looking into it

hahha

I just can't get into this new stuff, I rate Dizzee and alot of this is good pop and sounds fresh on the radio in amongst the usual pap but I can't take a full album of it.

Wiley's Race Against Time this year was a pretty good album, some cheesey stuff on it still but you know thats how he rolls. He's had a good go at making pop though with the album before last, it didint really work out mind... I can see alot of younger MC's trying the same, Tinchy is a tallent but I'm not feeling his pop at all, the less said about Chipmunk the better. I think Skepta is the most embarasing though his pop efforts are just rediculess, sun glasses at night and something that sounds like a nercerry rhyme... Its a shame people didn't take the lead from Boy In Da Corner and realise that they dont have to try and make rubish pop to get big, I mean Dizzee has done it well so fair play but alot of the others... But its like alot of MC's see pop as the only option and it just seems a waste of their tallents. Unless they all get angry and not making it as pop stars and start making angry grime again hahah

I will have a brillaint time, I got tickets for the next Leeds DMZ as well can't wait to see Mala again. Plus Ramadanman and Ben UFO in the second room haha

Still can't get enough of Hyph Mngo.

Really lookin forward to getin the Ramp FaltyDL record, Love is a Liability has to be one of my fave albums this year and I think Bravery even tops that for me.

the MAH comp is very good indeed, your right about that Untold track that 12" on Hemlock is brilliant and maybe even a little over looked as its an early one. I really like the Darkstar version of Videotape as well. Planet Mu are just rediculess, which reminds me I have to order a copy of Gremlinz the Terror Danjah compilation.

I'm gonna check out some of the other bits I dont know nice one. I was tryin to think of any tips I had for ya, but instead I'll just brag about going to see Jamie Vex'd, 2562, Neil Landstrumm, Clarke, P45 on the Irration Steppas Soundsystem on friday, I'm so excited! Sigha, Distance, Youngsta are even in the second room...

is a brilliant track you can find it and more like it on a forthcoming compilation called Beat Dimensions Vol.2 with loads of other badass producers like Dorian Concept, Samiyam, Mike Slott, Ras G, Mono/Poly... loads more its well good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSKxXu05aOE

to get the full effect of the song, just take the riffs from this and the rest from that and your away!

for the first time in ages and ages, its alright like just alot of the people on it have done alot better else where or just sound really dated like justice does now. You have to hand it to HEALTH though they know how to make a good sound to sample.

no one is gonna touch Omar-S with his Fabric cd for some time though that was something else.

I wasn't to keen on the Disco remix stuff its alright but not a patch on the original album with all its power and energy. Plus it sounds a bit dated already as those electro-y remixes often do. Really looking forward to hearing this new album and looking forward to seeing them live even more.

I reckon a hyperdub mega band will win it next year. Burial on the mic as he just doesn't shut the fuck up. Joker on synth, King Midus on bass, Iknoika on drums as she use to be in hardcore bands and Kode 9 as Bezz...

next year...

Joker, Darkstar, King Midus Sound, Kode 9, Ikonika, Burial all fighting it out with dance troups on top of the pops with The xx doing cover versions of all their stuff.

I only voted for two albums Late Of The Pier and Rolo Tomassi so its cool to see them at one and two.

there's so much going on with it that I can see myself listening to it for ages and finding something new with it. Its a really good listen.

I'm really enjoying Tummaa too its just beautiful. The Zomby EP is great to.

I agree with October above its a brilliant 12" the tracks sound so fresh for proto dubstep meets techno tracks from 2003. I <3 Immerse.

glad to be of service.

there is almost to much amazing dubstep/bass music around at the moment to keep up with its insane.

nice one. I've not really made my mind up on it yet not sure I'm that fussed about it but its always cool to see something on Tempa get some props. If your enjoying that deep and spacious dubstep there is loads around, I'm pretty addicted to Appleblim & Ramadanman's Justify on Apple Pips is gorgeous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaQHEyzfqe4

he's stuck some of my favourite tracks on it, like... Untold's Anaconda (which he really saps the energy out of by chopping it all wrong), Youngsta's Pulse X, Lil Silva's Funky Flex and even some of my favourite producers like Geeneus, Skream, Sticky, hell even on of my favourite DJs Oneman is on it! But he kind of butches it all to peices and makes it sound like his own stuff which I'm not so keen on. He's a bit like Diplo in that respect I love Diplo and Todla T as DJ's but only when they dont play much of their own stuff and this mix is pretty much a Todla T artists album chopped up with clips of other tracks on it. Disapointed.

there is so much tallent flying about on these remixes. I've just seen some FLyLo news as well, his DJ Kicks mix CD is due out noveber sort of time and a new album is penciled in for early next year. He talks about it a little bit here...

http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=3292&amp;Itemid=26

can't get enough of him right now these EP's are quality and the album is still a favourite.

I checked out Oni Ayhun when you tweeted it earlyer in the week it sounded very good indeed. I could do with picking it up and the latest Omar-S 12".

The Sigha hotflush podcast is very good indeed its so stripped back. That dub war podcast dis-intergration mentions is quality too, so many fresh dubs on that it nearly made my eyes pop when I saw the track list.

Shortstuff's 12" is rediculess as is the blunted robots stuff I cant get enough of them lot. Martin Kemp had a word with us at SR and did a mix its well nice.

http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2009/08/interview-martin-kemp-blunted-robots.html

oh yeah Shortstuff too, from a while ago...

http://sonicrouter.blogspot.com/2009/04/interview-shortstuff-berkane.html

I was kind of going off it for a while but then loads of people stepped up again. Brakles, Shortstuff, Martin Kemp, Ramadanman/Pearson Sound, Cooly G, Roska, Apple, Lil Silva, Emvee, Dark Knight, Fuzzy Logik, Fingerprint, Bubblez, DVA, D-Malice, Ill Blue, even some of Appleblim, Kode 9, Martyn, Hyetal and Zomby, Floating Points, Thriller, Rustie's beats are in the funky range pretty much. I just found out the name of a track I've been lookin for for ages that funky peeps are playin... Neccassery Madness by Karizma I'm pretty sure he mostly makes Defected style cheese/soulful house alot of the time but this is a banger, even Felix Da Housecat is gettin plays!

The Idal Hands stuff sounds alright I'm not overly impressed yet, its blatantly... who we think it is though hahah

When I play out which isn’t to often unfortunately, I tend to start with funky just to get a groove goin then hiphop temp wonk to space everyone out a bit and keep a groove before dropping the 140, then I often go back to garage stuff and funky again when it feels right, Ill no doubt flip it for the nest time tho do 140 first then slow it down n groove it up. I always want to reach for techno and house as I grew up on it but it sounds so weak next to the big bassy stuff, I actually feel sorry for techno/house/electro at the moment its not holding up well next to this stuff at all its a shame.

I want rolo to win out of this lot but in my heart of hearts after living with the album for ages I know its only a 7 really and the album just bellow that Late of the pier is only really a 5 at the most probibly more of a 4. I don't know wether to bump up my scores to hype the ones I like or do it honestly, which probibly wont help the nomanees very much at all.

My honest manuva will no doubt mean emmy, maccabees and wolf get 0 tho so it might ballance out with manics bringin up the rear with 1 or 2. Micachu deserves a good 3 just for mentioning grime sometimes and having a go at mixtapes as does PJ just for respect value for being around so long and doing good things in the past. SFA get props for inventive prolonged activity even tho I'm not fussed at all about them so they can have 4. Phantom, Gram and week might get a listen but I doubt it I sware I've heard Gramatics years ago on DTTR CD's and not been arsed about them, the rest are probibly generic indie that I've not seen mentioned or recomended by anyone ever. To be honest I might just abstain I dont like rating stuff by number anyway...

I've got no quibles, I just like to give these things a shout.

Lukid, Zomby or Actress in there but Benga would have been nice too I guess. I'll probibly be voting for Rolo Tomassi its the only thing on there that I'm interested in really.

Deep Medi have only ever released Viynl before so it was a suprise to hear it sounding a bit sketchy they are always always on point with their 12"s, this was their first ever album though so I guess they had to ajust to pressing an album up instead of singles. Its the first ever CD and Album out on Deep Medi so its kind of special for such a legendery label.

yeah I remember thats definatly an interesting combination. If I had some CD decks I've give that a go right away! I'd recomend the CD for Silkie rather than the viynl at this point there seems to have been a pressing issue they are tryin to sort out at the mo with the record.

Is such a brilliant track I've had it in my head for months now. I'm really lookin forwad to getting that Hyetal 12" its a bit special. Pearson Sound is something else too. That new Burkane Sol needs to come out soon it seems like ages ago it was announced. The Bizzy B comp is harsh as hell it shakes my room up and destroys my ears, but I like it.

Did you get your hands on the Silkie album? Its so good and maybe my favourite dubstep album this year, its sertainly fighting it out with Martyn for best original artists album.

about the pressing on dubstepforum and I think I agree with them, I've only played it the once so far mind and my soundsystem attached to my decks isnt the best. I dont usualy get albums on viynl as they usualy sound lame compared to singles/eps you mix them with but I couldn't resist with this one. They should have done a 6x12" box set or something of all 45rpm records, one track per side for pure deep medi brilliance!
