This is the video for the track Open The Pod Bay Doors by Starkey , taken from the upcoming EP of the same name on Ninja Tune . Running with a dystopian theme, and with head-nods towards such visual creations as The Matrix, Battlestar Galactica and Blade Runner, the video focusses around a comatose man and a brunette siren. With previous hard-hitting releases for Planet Mu under his belt, American dubstep/electronica producer, Starkey , has crafted something slightly more... [read more]

This is a bit of a strange one, but there's a new Massive Attack demo suddenly doing the rounds on the internet. Supposedly sprung up yesterday on the Massive Attack Facebook page , it's already causing quite a furore.

This remix of the Fugees ' track Fu Gee La , by Israeli producer LuqMan , was brought to my attention last week by Wrongg who played it as his last selection on our radio show . LuqMan has stripped the track back and then added his own distinctive heaavy groove, which it has to be said is more addictive than crack. You can actually download the track for FREE via LuqMan's Soundcloud page ... Fugees - ... [read more]
It's a conundrum that's faced producers since the dawning of the dance age. Scientists have poured over the problem (possibly), governments have invested billions into researching a solution (probably), but no conclusive agreement has been reached. So, just how do those who make music hidden away in bedroom studios, twiddling knobs and coaxing beats out of fried laptop processors, bring their toiled-over productions into the arena of live performance?! Fear not, Jus Like Music has the answer. Well, a few suggestions at least… 1. The 'Bended ... [read more]

The masked man of independent hip-hop, MF DOOM , was at Red Bull Music Academy last week in Madrid to give a lecture . We covered Red Bull Music Academy when it was in London last year and, as always, it featured a plethora of vastly interesting topics and characters; Moodymann was a particular highlight!

More of a visualisation than a straight up music video, but check out this little beauty Machinedrum created for his own track, Where Did We Go Wrong? , from the fantastic Room(s) album. To be honest, I'd use any excuse to talk about Machinedrum 's latest album. It's out right now on Planet Mu and it's absolutely fantastic. Easily one of the albums of 2011. Anyone who has followed his work over the last few years... [read more]
