Staunch reggae fans are probably emerging from the haze and re-learning how to use their computers about now. What have these dub-heads been doing for the past couple days? Listening to the absolutely smashing Diplo compilation Riddimentary , of course ( read the details here ). In honor of this terrific release, Wobble Wednesday is going all dubstep+reggae this week. Turn up the bass and get these slow jams rollin. As always, ragey filth music formally known as dubstep will arrive at the upcoming Filthy Friday . Dubly and lovely, @Crimestein [Audio [...]

Have you ever dreamed of having your favorite independent artist perform a private concert just for you and your guests? Starting in October 2011 I will do an extensive tour in the US. I'm now looking for people who would like to host a concert in their home. Simply put, a House Concert is a private party, employing live original music, held in a private home, garden, civic center, church or other space under your exclusive control. There would need to be enough parking nearby and your neighbors should be cool. It would be [...]
rox (Roxanne Tataei) is a powerful voice with a tale or two to tell. This i brought out in a dance and dub interpretation of 'I don't believe' by both Landlord and Don Diablo. Based in South London she attended church every Saturday as a child where she grew a hunger for performance and built a good work ethic that took shape. Rox - I Don't Believe (Landlord remix) ysi 320 I didn't realise dub could be so soulful. Landlord has really complimented Rox's mood in the song. Adding to [...]
These are 2 of my favorite remixes that emerged this month, no fucking doubt about it! Both artists, Don Diablo & Landlord, did a great job remixing ROX's upcoming single "I... **Summary** Go to website for downloads, videos & more.
Rox is a 22 year old half Jamaican, half Iranian singer/songwriter currently signed to Rough Trade and making waves on the live music scene. Her forthcoming single 'I Don't Believe' has had reMix treatments from the Electro-House and Dubstep ends of the electronic music spectrum by Don Diablo and Landlord respectively. Diablo's take on the track builds, on top of the Roots elements, a 2-step Electro track that will have you groovin' wherever you hear it while Landlord expertly crafts a deep, dark bass monster. ♫ Rox - I Don't [...]
Sorting through submitted new music here at FMU has evolved into a much more daunting gig than it was years ago for a whole lot of reasons, first and foremost is confronting the multitude of sources available and having to filter it all, physical and the very growing well of digital material (which is now an increasing avenue for labels and artists to submit their sounds). In the immediate neighborhood, for example, we've got the plethora of free MP3's here on the blog (especially excited about seeing the recent avalanche of Tony Coulter's deep archives manifesting itself here), [...]
Landlords are more scum peddling noise coming from the east coast. Picked up their debut release Wheelchair Night a couple or so weeks ago looking for exactly that and got it. This is pretty top notch twisted material that seems ride a bit of an early Swans vibe while being scrubbed down in some pretty nasty distortion. The opening track "Vanity Plates" sent me on a mad dash to the cassette deck as it sounded almost as if the tape itself was being eaten. Should have just [...]

did i ever tell you guys that the guy above was my landlord for the summer of 2007? ok, let me explain. if you've ever seen the best show on TV, the wire , you'd know that gbenga akinnagbe (silent "g" in the first name) portrays chris partlow, arguably the craziest, most intense character in the show. he's like me. kinda. he's from montgomery county, maryland. he grew up about 15 minutes from my house. he's also nigerian, as i found out when he called me after replying to his craigslist ad [...]
Suspicious tenants : A Kuwaiti man was shocked on learning that his tenant, a compatriot woman who was living with her British friend, was brewing liquor and practicing sorcery, reports Al-Anba daily. The Kuwaiti landlord noticed water leaking from the ceiling of his house and was told that the pipe in the upper floor needs to be changed. As the upper floor house was closed for two weeks, he got the door broke open following which he found a barrel of brew and sorcery tools. The landlord also made the discovery that the woman had lied to him about her [...]
Just got off the phone with Club Dada co-owner Ben Tapia after receiving an anonymous tip (and also, in retrospect, an anonomiss tip) that Dada's doors were locked by an outside party this morning. ... Continue reading "Club Dada Shuts Down..But Only For Two Days, Turns Out" >
I'm sitting around listening to some South Rakkas , Hercules & Love Affair , Carl Cox , Inner City , Hithouse , etc, etc... Landlord - I Like It (Blow Out Dub) I'm also wondering when people started taking "articles" on music blogs so seriously... yeesh. Have a drink.

i can't believe house music has been in the charts for 20 years now. in that respect, it has lasted much longer than so many other genres. when it first arrived in the mainstream, circa 87/88, scenes of loved up club kids dancing in warehouses were completely alien, especially to those of us who weren't old enough even to have experienced sticky carpet clubs of the 80s and view the contrast. i love how so much of the music can be played today in any club, and clubbers of all ages seem to know it. a [...]
Break For Love reappears in the first track of Warehouse Raves 2, sampled by Quartz - Meltdown . Listening back to this, the best description I can give it is mundance, a word seemingly just invented by my fingers which sums it up quite well. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with Van Morrison. Following this is a cover of the perennial Tainted Love by Impedance, of which the last 30 seconds are probably of most interest with a sultry female spoken vocal closing it out. There are a load of version of this track, [...]
