RBMA: Amon Tobin
As we ease ever closer to the wintery, commercially infused wonderland that Is Christmas. Spirits rise, drinks are downed and office parties abound. Inter office hook ups are resigned to the deepest recesses of conversation and excuses cunningly thought up as to why you just can’t make it in the day after. Classic Christmas vibes....
Kid Ink – Get Mine feat Nipsey Hussle
That’s Kid Ink reppin my fav label Crooks & Castles. Anyway, this got delivered straight up to my inbox yesterday. Kid Ink’s new official video for Get Mine feat Nipsey Hussle came out 2 days ago, real good shit right here. Love the video concept. Challenges your perceptions a little. You can download this song...
Karma Kid
Sam Knowles aka “Karma Kid” has been stirring up some new creations and breaking out some massive tunes recently. The 17 year old has done everything from remixing Bon Iver (very well) to getting a forthcoming release on L2S Recordings. Well here is his tunage. Starting off with an amazing remix of Bon Iver, Electro...
RBMA: Benji B
So the big news of the past week or so, at least in my world, is something to do with a dictator falling of a chair or something, he hurt his ankle or something…..Only joking the real news came from last Thursday night when Rbma took over the entire London Eye. Dubbed as 30 gigs...
Ritualz †‡†
Hailing from Mexico City, Ritualz‘s sound is an unlikely marriage of genres, something that you’d never think would work but it does, and very fucking well too. A merciless blend of black metal vocals, noise, rave synths and hip hop beats, he has been getting a lot of attention lately, especially with the use of that...
RBMA: Yuck
This has been on of those odd weeks. I’ve been out having a few drinks, nothing to reckless mind, most nights and consequently I’m in some kind of weird half hungover, sleep deprived ambient state of euphoria. One person actually said to me the other day I looked different, my response was “oh yeh, I...
RBMA: Breakage
What a week! Hope anyone reading this can joyously and gleefully exclaim the same, then we can share the sentiment and sit back with a satisfied grin happy in the knowledge that we are probably happier than man next to us on the bus or tube. It could be the party I found myself at...
RMBA: Ghostpoet
Greetings and happy wishes music listeners. It has certainly been another week, I know this as I’ve had my birthday this week which will probably mean as I write this or the day this gets posted I am going be ragingly hungover and probably planning the best way to move forward and drink through the...
GroundIsLava
8 bit beat freaks listen up! Jasper Patterson aka GroundIsLava from California’s We Did It Collective is giving a full ep of unreleased tracks, called Book of Tech. It’s to celebrate his upcoming release on Friends of Friends this April. Kinda like the stuff on Error Broadcast, except less sophisticated texture, more Gameboy goodness: spacey...
Eliphino
A little somethin from somethinksounds. Eliphino (pronounced L-F-I-No) from Leeds gettin into my radar via Outlook fest 2011. That one’s set to be a massive party. When the organisers of a pretty big fest starts comparing his tunes to Dilla and Madlib, and folks been saying he’s the future of uk hip hop, someone’s gotta...
Dam Mantle
Wow wow wow! More of this future beat thing in my inbox. Seems like peak season or something. Dam Mantle‘s giving away a free promo track – the track Movement is from the First Wave CD. It’s J-Dilla inspired deconstructed hip-hop with quirky, futuristic electronic elements – very much in the same wave as Hudson...
Kulez
What is GOING ON with “the industry”??! Why havent they signed up Kulez yet? Like another bullet to prove his grime prowess, Kulez delivers yet another excellent track for yall to get into. The signature witty, sharp lyrics are still there, this time backed with a darker remix. I’ve hyped up this dude so many...
