October 30, 2010The second hour of a massive show from Kamikaze DJs, closing off Awkward Movements Sessions #12 for us. In other news residencies for the back end of 2010 and the new year are so close to confirmation we can taste it – looking forward to the next couple of months. Also Ray Nulds has been in the stores buying up…
October 27, 2010Always on the move, Kamikaze DJs are serving up another massive helping of tunes for us. Split across two one-hour shows, here’s the first part of Awkward Movements Sessions #12. While we’re on the Sessions tip, in response/on a tangent to a recent dubstepforum.com thread Dodger Man‘s just delivered a dope 35 min mix that we’ll be bombing up on…
October 13, 2010Over 30 years in the game, brothers Mikey Dread and Ras Kayleb as Channel One Sound System represent the heart of bass line culture, and the true representation of what it is to be labelled a ‘sound system.’ In the lead up to Red Bull Music Academy’s Culture Clash this Thursday night at Roundhouse, I managed to catch a few minutes…
October 12, 2010Something special for Awkward Movement Sessions – an hour-long guest mix from Sydney based DJ / producer First Grandson. I was fortunate to be in Australia earlier in the year, witness to some of the underground’s buzz on his work, which, going off his offering here, is more than deserved. ‘Deep N Bass‘ is an appropriate title as First Grandson…
October 7, 2010I’ve been rinsing this mini-mix on the tube lately, hence thought it was time to share. It was uploaded to Soundcloud by Fost out of Sheffield about two months ago, a fellow I’m still yet to meet. Fost got in touch regarding the Dodger Man 12″ release date a little while back, and a couple of quick clicks led me…
September 30, 2010Big email round from Bass Music Blog earlier in the week which is a collaborative effort including the likes of Baobinga and one of our favourites I.D. – who remains ridiculously underrated considering the quality of his output. As well as some free bits and announcing the newly launched Bass Music label with Setspeed mp3 release and a few other interesting…
Studio mix straight from Raynulds, bombed up about a week ago in the wake of the Keep it Down! night, which debuted at Gramaphone earlier in the month. Details not been confirmed yet but the residents alone are enough for to bank on what’s coming next, and I’m sure they’ll be another mad headliner. We’ll have the details up here…
September 14, 2010Hip-hop chameleon, multi-instrumentalist producer and soul singer Aloe Blacc smashed back on the scene bigger than ever this year, with ‘I Need A Dollar’ taking things to the next level. Recorded with members of The Expressions and El Michels Affair in session, the tune not only bridged the gap between the heads buying hip-hop and the collectors on the modern soul…
September 12, 2010I know we were recently posting about the man for Phonica’s 7th Birthday, but damn, can’t believe this took me a week to get to (what can I say, blatantly not cool enough for Fact Mag anymore 🙂 ). Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet has pulled out the top mix of the moment, filled as always with forthcomings and exclusives.…
September 9, 2010Kamikaze DJs return in fine form for an epic 2-hour show for Awkward Movements Sessions. As always these guys bring not only the new joints but a load of wax that we’ve either slept on or never heard of, and always have remorse for not dropping first. You can count on one hand the peops that love new music more…
