Two contrasting free downloads, but free none the less. Four Tet for the more pastel coloured among you and Ejeca for those who are a little more glittery. Four Tet 's 'Unspoken' is a haunting piano track that is taken from his seminal 2003 LP 'Rounds'. Rounds has just been reissued (Buy Here) to mark its 10th anniversary, and if you are new to Four Tets earlier more electronica based work, 'Unspoken' is the perfect introduction. Ejeca on the other hand is not trying to conjure up images of the past, he has simply gone, [...]
Koreless is another of these enigmatic producers who threaten big things before melting back to the sanctity of their studio for months on end. This is most likely a little frustrating for his agent as fees and volume of shows probably remain fairly plateaued. However it is becoming increasingly obvious that each time Koreless resurfaces for air it has been worth the wait, suggesting an artist who enjoys writing music above the other trappings often associated with increased musical notoriety. While he may not be consciously playing the long game his steady approach to output is ensuring a solid [...]
Blah Blah Blah started life as an Electro party back in 2007, of which Simian Mobile Disco were a regular feature in our sets with records such as 'The Beat', 'Hustler' etc, however fast forward 6 years and we'd have to say that Bicep among other recent acts have replaced the likes of Simians in our record box. In particular Bicep's 'Vision Of Love' and ' You ' have been heavy hitters for sometime now.......so imagine our anticipation when we saw this collaboration of past and present BBB hero's, however are we really allowed to like this record? [...]

Not content with getting everyone ' Jacked ' Breach has got his Naked Naked imprint stepping up to plate with what looks to be another nailed on homer with the Dusky boys delivering the 'Vanishing Point EP'. As you would expect this is crisp main room house, resplendent with rich vocals, soaring keys and groove a plenty, no curve balls here this is Dusky at their housey best. Perhaps not as strong as their Nobody Else or Calling Me EP's, but that would be a big ask and not something we should [...]
Presently there are a number of big name collaborations in electronic music that tend to create whirlwind of excitement whenever a new release is leaked to the masses. From Joy O & Boddika , Dark Sky & Breach to perhaps the biggest of them all Justin Martin & Eats Everything. Following up their thunderous Hypercolour EP, ' Feather Fight ', the notorious twosome have again crafted a bass heavy, stomach churning master piece that has roof lifting capabilities. This record is distinctly Justin Martin and Eats Everything as they effortlessly combine deep smooth melodic undertones with a wub [...]
Will Saul 's fellow Aus Music cohorts Dusky & Midland get drafted in for remix duties on Beam Me Up's follow up, My Way. Beam Me Up dropped last month featuring remixes from Scuba, George Fitzgerald and Hercules & Love Affair. Although most reviewers plummed for the Fitzgerald remix, personally we'd recommend Hercules analog powered acidic twist. As yet there are no streams for the upcoming remixes, however if you've heard Midlands upcoming release ' Archive 01 / Real Time ' and Dusky's most recent releases ' Nobody Else ' and ' Calling Me ' you [...]
Dyed Soundorom began life in the 90’s as a lowly Parisian promoter, striking a deep affinity for the apparently legendary Batofar After Parties. Hard for me to comment on their legend status as I was busy trying to be a highly educated student in the late 90’s, however its fairly clear in retrospect that Soundorom was well schooled in the virtues of deep grooving house, if the written word is anything to go by. Since those formative years Soundorom has taken that template and applied it to his own music, with his debut 2008 record ‘Question’ quickly setting a [...]
Wow, so the feedback has been flowing in for our 7th release on Blah Blah Blah Records and we are proud to say that 'Let The Machines Do The Work' debut record has been gaining support from such luminaries as Eliphino , Maxxi Soundsystem , Shadow Child , Data Transmission, B Traits, Dubfire, Waifs & Strays , Deetron , Mista Jam, Alan Fitzpatrick, among others, not to mention accumulating over 11,000 plays on Soundcloud. LTMDTW have also seen themselves confirmed for a debut performance at Gottwood Festival. 'One Love [...]
Maya Jane Coles biggest DJ on the planet? Hard to say for sure, but whatever your opinion she is most definitely Top 10, a fact that the last two end of year RA Polls certainly back, with her securing a 9th position in 2011 and a 10th in 2012. Maya has built an infallible reputation as both DJ and producer, crafting sets and music that effortlessly compliment each other. There has always been a contemplative vocal quality to her work, however this has never over stayed its welcome as Maya's acute awareness of the dancefloor ensures there is always [...]
Leon Vynehall a fellow Brighton resident has steadily established his credentials as a considered artist, the type of producer who appears to absorb all manner of musical inspiration from his surroundings, taking reference from whatever crosses his path. However like a number of other young producers before him, you occasionally get that recently familiar whiff of bass enthusiasm and a sense of underground elitism that you cant help but feel has restricted a natural affinity for the dance floor. This is not to say Leon's early work is not worth your consideration, or that its devoid of dancefloor applicability [...]
Not everything in life is about the hype…….’Dont Believe The Hype’ is a new column we recently launched on Blah Blah Blah with the express aim of discussing those artists that perhaps deserve a little more love and attention. Next up in our series is Sheffield based Beneath , who's gruff underground beats have been rupturing soundsystems across the UK in recent times..... Although born in Stoke, his current location Sheffield seems a more fitting location for Beneaths foreboding industrial beats. Whether or not he is directly influenced by Sheffield's former [...]
What were you doing between the ages of 16-18? I know I was still trying to work out how to impress girls, what my best position on the football pitch was and whether a Brit Pop fringe was a good look, it wasn't, I most certainly wasnt writing highly accomplished electronic music that belied my years, something Alfie has been doing since he could power up the family PC. Following the hugely well received Uncomfortably Numb single, support coming from CVS, Four Tet, Justin Martin, Midland to name a few, Alfie has just unleashed [...]

If you havent been before, trust us when we [...]
This is a proper Essential Mix , coming from Aus Music 's founder and curator Will Saul . Preparation, personal edits, exclusive material, 3 months of planning and testing track combinations, Will Saul has a true passion for electronic music, not a vacuous need for hollow superstar DJ status, to Will this is music first and foremost. Will Saul has been writing and releasing music since the early 20002s and is undoubtedly influenced by the then waning Sasha, Digweed, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman progressive house movement. In both releases and mix [...]
Having read a number of books on the history of DJ culture I have a good appreciation of the significant role New York has played in the global poliferation of electronic music, I even remember in the late 902s dreaming of taking my bedroom set and supporting Sasha & Digweed at the legendary, but now defunct, Twilo. However you dont need to know your DJ history to understand and appreciate the visual and auditory abundance of NY, who's rich tapestry of elegance and decay have been superbly captured in the latest RA ' Real Scene's '.
Ashley Westlake aka Woz first caught our attention late 2012 when he closed out a Rudimental live show at Digital Brighton. As any DJ knows following a headline live performance is not always the most coveted of DJ slots, generally speaking everyone dashes for the coat que and rapidly exits the building, and in time honoured tradition this is exactly what started to happen as Rudimental clambered back stage. However it became quickly apparent that the night may not end quite as prematurely as we first feared. Through an array of rapid mixes and furious track selection Woz [...]
