October 23, 2010These have no doubt been rinsed on blogs this week – so ever so slightly jumping on the bandwagon here – but two new clips have been dropped courtesy of LA’s poster-boy Flying Lotus and London based Mosca of the Night Slugs label / crew. Starting with Mosca, I don’t know why exactly but he’s one of the last artists…
October 21, 2010As predicted, Red Bull Culture Clash the second time around was heavy. This format of a night has fast become my favorite, and we’re hoping that the success of the two nights this year is going to spawn some smaller and more permanent monthlies around London. Channel One took out a much deserved victory, with Metalheadz putting up a damn…
October 15, 2010Fourth press lucky or so they say – Dodger Man‘s debut wax plate has finally dropped, proving to be well worth the wait. Digital downloads are available from all the usual suspects, and at present the physical product can be sourced at a handful of stores who’re shipping today or Monday. Stores can pick it up via ST Holdings, as…
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 10, 2010Getting to know James aka Jimmy Monsta Funk over the past few months has been a rewarding experience. His passion for film and music that’s driven him for decades meets a brilliant nature of open-mindedness to new ideas and an ongoing desire to learn. Unfortunately, this seems a rare trait in those who were around for Detroit techno the first…
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…
October 6, 2010I first came across the site for this a little while back but by then they’d stopped shipping them due to demand taking over what they could supply. Step up Willzyx, the Taiwan based electronics guru and German based http://www.x0xsh0p.de who’ve taken over the torch as suppliers for the parts of the now legendary x0xb0x. Evidently the brain child of…
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…
