May 15, 2011Since their relaunch earlier in the year our friends over at Example Magazine have definitely kicked things up a notch. Now over a year old, they’ve expanded their operations to all of the UK from being solely Manchester, and the scene’s repaid in turn, throwing up more photographers and artists down or the cause. Last month they hooked up with…
May 7, 2011Our good friends over at dublab have just started their bi-annual supporter drive, and as always there’s a load of dope events and tunes accompanying. It’s been dubbed the “Turning on Tomorrow” Proton Drive and one of our favourite beat flippers and longtime labrat Teebs has been charged with creating the theme song for the event, which you can stream…
April 27, 2011Props to Paul of Kamikaze for continually putting me on to even more dope music I’d be sleeping on still if it weren’t for his dedication to sharing it. He’s outdone himself this time. I’m referring the new Peaking Lights album, which, simply put, is stunning. Titled 936 it’s been an unhealthily addictive addition to my record collection I’ve been…
April 19, 2011Update: You can now check out the full 30 minute video here: http://youtu.be/evA-R9OS-Vo Is there an award for the 10 millionth person to repost this? Let’s hope so. Finally got around to checking the new Beastie Boys tune and it’s pure fire. 16 years later (and 10+ live shows) I’m still vibing on everything these guys do, and now…
April 7, 2011Now officially released comes the debut 12″ from NKC. Two big tracks we’ve been keeping tight and now dropping on a limited wax, hand stamped sleeve and label. By no means a complete list thus far, as of now you can get at from the links below, some stores having sold out before the official release date of 11/04. Redeye…
April 6, 2011Pictures Music have been donning it since their relatively recent inception as a label. I know I’ve been banging on about the beauty of the Chairman Kato digital debut for over a month now, and will most likely continue to do so, but even aside from this the label marches on and continues to release proper interesting music, constantly adding…
March 30, 2011Two ill plates that deserve a proper shout just dropped. The LA 10 x10 Series from All City closes off with the final installment from Free The Robots and Exile. The split 10″ series has been one of the only ones in recent memory that I’ve collected from start to end, not only to make the cool little collage when…
March 14, 2011I really don’t know where to begin when talking about Scan 7. In the short time I’ve been hunting down their releases I’ve been constantly amazed by their ethos and the way they work against the system. The Detroit techno collective is tied closely to Underground Resistance, and headed up by Trackmaster Lou, who’s the embodiment of guerilla music tactics.…
March 2, 2011Closing off his series charting the course between jazz and techno, Jimmy Monsta Funk brings us his final batch of 5 selections of that embody these two genres working off each other. Having started Part 1 which with Techno After Jazz, followed by the second installment looking at Jazz Before Techno, he’s now ending us with the appropriately titled Time…
February 28, 2011I’ve got ‘stampers clamp’ this morning. Stampers clamp is the fictional medical term I am using to describe a minor pain on the outside edge of your hand running from the top of your pinky to where your wrist begins, which comes about from leaning on a stamping pad to try and get the last bit of ink out of…
