February 17, 2011Been meaning to bomb this up for a while, as this is going to be big. And unless you live under a rock you’re probably already counting down the days until the 20 F**king Years Of Planet E night goes down on the 5th of March at Ewer Street car park. Big ups to London Warehouse Events for hooking up…
February 15, 2011UPDATE – You can now PRE-ORDER ‘Marie’ / Ghettotechno’ via Redeye Records: http://www.redeyerecords.co.uk/products/NKC/NKC_AWK003.html Stepping up for our next wax pressing comes NKC, now London based and already signed up for for a big year across a handful of labels including Awkward Movements. UPDATE – Check the designs on the plate here. We’re staying low on this one, hand-stamped whites individually…
February 12, 2011Damn this is some interesting music. Dropping Monday on Pictures Music comes the digital release from Chairman Kato, London based artist who’s been getting some heat of late. To be honest I generally don’t go massively in for the drone-melody types of sounds, but there’s something about Kato’s productions that definitely made me check twice. It could be the fact…
February 9, 2011Since we first chatted in Melbourne in 2006, I’ve been following Oddisee with a constant look of awe. Or at least trying to follow him. The underground producer / artist / label runner and hip-hop historian remains an important link to the worldwide scene for anyone in to beats, rhymes or digging. If you’re not on his mailing list, drop…
February 7, 2011There’s been enough written about The Dirtbombs recent album of Detroit techno covers, titled Party Store, for me to really add anything new or overly meaningful. So instead I’ll just add my own opinion, that it probably lives up the hype. I first saw The Dirtbombs play in Sydney, right when the now defunct White Stripes threw the spotlight back…
January 11, 2011Free download from the producer / DJ we call Lorca, alias of one Dodger Man. Always on the underground tip, a few cats been going on about some of his productions for time, and I got to agree that from what I’ve heard he’s definitely ahead of the curve for bass production. He seems to have perfected the balance of…
December 31, 2010Dropped on the Clone sub-label Jack For Daze, I’ve surprised myself by how much I’ve been rinsing this plate in the few weeks since it’s release. Some proper old-school Chicago tipped jack house from a new artist named Geeeman, who I can’t find anything about. Unfortunately the only complete track on the web is Rubberband2, embedded above, but as dope…
December 24, 2010As is the season with New Years drawing closer it’s the time for us to get rating on our top records for the year. Love the fact they all came in in different formats and different styles, though Actress seems to be the most shouted out. Thanks to everyone for a brilliant year and watch 2011 for some massiveness. Raynulds…
December 18, 2010With a day off I begrudgingly had to go to Soho yesterday, and had totally forgotten the great people that work in our record stores. It was brilliant to head in to BM Soho and Sounds Of The Universe and not know the staff behind the counter. Normally the record store regulars nowadays walk in knowing all the staff and…
December 13, 2010Considering the epic ascension of film maker, Spike Jonze’s career over the last 25 years, it’s somewhat surprising that he managed to sneak out his latest short film practically unnoticed. The film titled I’m Here was released quietly through iTunes and is still available online for free through Absolute’s home page. And although corporate sponsorship can be sucky, I think…
