Mosca - Bax



Tight work from Mosca, Bax is an earful for sure. Mosca has found an addictive sweet spot somewhere between old school house and tasteful dubstep that is streamlined, stylish and satisfying.

Farsight - Keep Rockin'



Ok, eventually I'm going to be putting out a 4 track EP. It's coming soon! Until then, this is the first track I'll be uploading for listening. Keep your ears to the ground, I promise you'll like what you hear.

Clicks & Whistles - Fumando



Huge sounds from Clicks & Whistles; serious heat. A lot of trap I hear is pretty formulaic party music, so it's nice to hear some unexpected sounds along with the banging bass. Despite the unimaginative weed reference, C&W bring some off the wall sounds and turn heads. Definitely working this one into a set very soon.

Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm


Some classic Aphex Twin for your Sunday. 'Alberto Balsalm' off the the album ...I Care Because You Do reminds me that electronic music isn't always just for dancing, although you could probably groove to this if you wanted. The track makes excellent use of an pensive melody backed with choice samples; a persistent flicking lighter acts as percussion and various metallic hits are tastefully interspersed. This is a fantastic song for late nights or early, sleepy mornings.

Kahn - Dread


'Dread' represents the electronic music marriage I've always wanted. Seminal dubstep label Deep Medi will be releasing a track by Kahn, a producer who I've been digging heavily and actively following for a good year now. This is a profoundly satisfying moment because both parties have been huge on my musical radar and it's awesome to see Kahn's quality of work be acknowledged by Mala, Deep Medi boss and famed producer in his own right.

The track itself brings serious bassweight with a dancehall vibe; a coarsely voiced MC starts off the track in fine dub form. The toasting soon cuts out and gives way to a minimal, dark arrangement, featuring a rolling sub and delay drenched hits. 'Dread' is ultimately some of Kahn's weightiest work (on par with 'Way Mi Defend'), perfect for a release on Mala's imprint.
