For their release on Jungle Cakes, ED SOLO teamed up with the maestro of all things funky, STICKYBUDS for a two-track EP for a blunt celebration of weed culture. Of course it comes out on 4/20. First up "Smoke The Weed" combines super phat rolling basslines, ragga style stabs and atmospherics, and a wicked steppy break. The two join forces again for the second track, Joker Smoker, which is a sublime slice of funky, jazzy business. It's all there, stompin' beats, ragga/dub elements, big chunky bass, incredibly [...]

When it comes to breaks, there are two DJ's that are hard to beat: There's Krafty Kuts and his inimitable partner in crime, A-Skillz . Since the release of their debut album Tricka Technology in 2003, the pair have set a standard for creatively cutting together breaks, hip-hop, funk, soul, drum and bass and electro. The pair have toured the world over both as a pair and individually, setting alight dance floors and festival arenas with their bass heavy and funk driven grooves. I spoke [...]
Not out until December 5th, but something to be excited about. Refracture takes on the classic Perfecto track "Bullet In A Gun" with some dance floor devastating results. This is just a clip but it’s enough to get you ready for a monster release! Fidget House ... What happened when Tech House and Electro had an illegitimate love child. It spawned the careers of some amazing producers and added some killer tracks to the list of dance classics. This updated breaks take on [...]
Originally hailing from the Yukon and now recognized across Canada as cultural ambassadors The Root Sellers create a unique blend of beats and sampled sound taken from the diverse areas they travel in the world.

photo by T We've been longing for something. It's been a couple of months now, and we've witnessed the leaves turn hot and felt the air turn cold. So let us go back in time this sharp October evening and reminisce about a place of warm bodies and minds. This episode has been waiting for the opportunity to lift your spirits. Do you remember Shambhala ? Glitchy & Scratchy , the combined moniker of producers The Mongoose & Bevy Swift, are familiar faces to the [...]

One of the Canadian ghetto funk icons is rolling into Winnipeg again next week. This will be the second time STICKYBUDS has shared his low-end domination. I missed him when he rolled through the last time so needless to say I'm pumped for this show, which is rounded out nicely with some fine locals too. DJ Hunnicutt, Ill Type, and Mollyfi open things up so arrive early and thank BASSFACE ENTERTAINMENT for their fine work. Show details are on facebook [...]

This playlist is for that chill in the air you're feeling right now, made entirely of electronic tracks released in the past few days. Sometimes you just need to zone out and watch the last leaves blow away. It's not really that electro, but Copycat's re-edit of Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" puts you in the right state of mind, and has just enough sheen to ease you into the next tracks. Give it a minute or so to warm up - this one takes its time, starting spare, but is worth the wait. [...]

For those who don't already know: Dubstep sounds like whale noises. At least, that what some people would have you believe (including Stickybuds, Excision, and whoever made the shirt pictured below). I'm not entirely convinced, so I'm leaving it up to the dedicated Earmilk fans to decide. Thus, I have posted a whopping f***ton of filthy dubstep for you to examine. Please report your findings in the comments below, or on Twitter with the #FILTHYFRIDAY tag. With love and filth, @Crimestein PS. Did you know that nobody has ever witnessed killer [...]
