Some time ago I told you about this amazing producer I found via Soundcloud: Dauwd. Pictures Music found if before me and that resulted in a release on one of the best labels at the moment. If you head over to their Bandcamp page you can get the release by paying whatever you like for it, in true Radiohead style. http://picturesmusic.bandcamp. com/album/could-it-be-shimmer [...]
Shox - Tombstone [H2O 002] by SHOX Tombstone by Shox marks the Rinse FM DJ's second release in the space of two months and it gives a glimpse into the future of a very technical producer. If The Underdog EP was adorned with summery, atmospheric tunes, Tombstone is all about heavy, industrial, machine-made bass that is not easy on the ears but chest plate rattling basslines. Mista Men is on the remix and manages to add some more heaviness to it even if you thought it wasn't possible. [...]
Malente & Jay Robinson ft Yo Majesty - Cherry Pop (Raffertie rmx) by Fat! Records Very heavy tune by Malente and Jay Robinson with Yo! Majesty vocals and with addded Raffertie goodness. Lots of punching bass on this one. Starting quite easy with marching band vocals it evolves into a complex production with clinical percussion.
Classixx's 'Into The Valley' featuring Karl Dixon was released for free download via Green Label Sound this Spring. Now, acclaimed Julio Bashmore is on remix duty keeping its essential elements and morphing it into an exquisite house track that benefits immensely from Karl Dixon's amazing vocal qualities. The track can be downloaded from Green Label Sound's page HERE
Blacktee - Tek Yu Time EP by NoStrangerToDanger All the way from Bucharest, Romania, No Stranger To Danger proudly present the debut release of Blacktee. Combining sinuous rhythms and stabbing synths, his polished production belies his relative youth on his first EP Tek Yu Time/Plasmid. With its distinctive European flavourings and sinister analogue sounds, the future looks bright for this precocious talent.

DOGBOY- Letters (FRIDG003) by Fullfridge Music Just like good cheese, the Full Fridge Music release of Dogboy is nice and creamy and also from the French Alps. once you start listening to it you would think that is somewhat of a house tune but it suddenly morphs into something much more than that, adding different textures and claustrophobic sounds, encapsulating more than one genre and more than one feeling. Dogboy started up by playing the guitar and then moved on to Akai and Atari sampling machines and developed [...]
Hessle Audio - 116 & Rising is as you would suspect one of those epic compilations that will sit nicely next to your 5 Years of Hyperdub and Hotflush Back and 4th. What you will basically get is 2 CD's and 3 12" vinyls of every single producer that graced the Hessle Audio roster from when the label started. We are talking essential tunes like Martyn's remix of TRG's Broken Heart, Pangea's Why, a bloke that goes by the name of James Blake, Untold, Ramadanman, Blawan and many more. CD1 01. Elgato – Music (Bodymix) [...]
OUT May 9 The new Living Graham Bond ft Shon B 'Werk' EP si somewhat of a very pleasant surprise. The Fat! Records release orbits around the brilliant bouncy banger that is 'Werk'. Giving a helping hand in understanding how essential this is are remixes from Marlow and Tomb Crew and a persuading Dub version. The Vocal Mix is somewhat of a melee of different styles and influences that you wouldn't think can function in a normal musical environment. Starting with a vintage jungle loop the tune evolves into a dirty and very danceable [...]
If some of you don't know who this guy is maybe the Instra:mental name might jog your memory. Yes, Jon Convex aka Damon Kirkham is one half of the above mention super producer team. They are also behind the brilliant NonPlus+ label. Just like Nicole Scherzinger people need to have their own personal projects. This is Damon's. And an essential one it is. 3024 has provided him with the support he needed to deliver a very original and robotic production with acid elements and 2-step rhythms intertwined with organic basslines. I find it sounding strangely vintage [...]
During one of my foraging sessions on Soundcloud I've come across this amazing producer: Dauwd. In the meantime he's been signed by the wonderful Pictures Music. Think Koreless' minimal beats and wonderful melodies. Ikopol by Dauwd
Rhythm Baboon is Polish producer based in Gdansk, whose dubby, laid back but very intricate style earned him comparisons with Shackleton, 2562 and Demdike Stare. His first EP to date, on the prolific Concrete Cut, delivers atmospheric futuristic dub-techno melodies doubled with well put together pads. It doesn't seem like this will sound out of place on your home sound system while in the garden with a rum and a coke nor in a dark club. Rhythm Baboon already deserves its place among the good releases of the year. [...]

Blacktee - Software by blacktee Blacktee proves once again that is one of the most prolific young producers out there and comes out with an amazing tune. Interesting to notice is the fact that he 's started to integrate a more techno sound in his productions and it comes out and another winner. Also, this tune will be released by the very brilliant No Stranger To Danger Records really soon. Stay tuned
