13 years ago Scout ( here ) dropped their debut EP on Chrysalis (the same company the housed the Proclaimers ). Two short years later their breakthrough album, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time , created a stir that had everyone clamoring for their attention. There were appearances on " Late Night with Conan O'Brien ," editor's choice picks by Amazon.com , tracks on films and television shows and a tour with Sunny Day Real Estate . Then, after a follow-up album The Soft Life, Scout pulled the air [...]
Heavy heat droppin in the inbox all last week, inclusing this amazing EP from Adam Sparkles. We were lucky enough to meet Adam in Philli earlier this year, albeit inbetween eating a stupid amount of... DOWNLOAD/ STREAM http://www.feelmybicep.com
Inspired by some time in the Radio Magnetic offices this week, it seems appropriate to hit up what is a quality old skool biscuit, the Club. With 3 flavours to choose from, that one would you go for? Free tunes anyone. Balam Acab are featuring more and more at the Labs. If it the high quality EP's its the excellent remixes. This time its a rework of Twin Sister that grabbed out attention. Marco Del Horno is about [...]
About 18 months ago we wrote a kind of snarky post about local punk outfit Old Snack, making jabs about their band's name and comparing them to garbage gimmick acts of the '80s that chose to name themselves, their album, and their only hit after the same thing. (See: The Weather Girls, Talk Talk, Big Country, B. Bumble and the Stingers). Of course Wilco (The Band) can't be totally overlooked for "Wilco (The Song)" released on Wilco (The Album), but in their defense they had amassed a career's worth of solid tunes beforehand. And [...]
I have to say I thought Paul missed a "trick" last week as he gorged himself on doughnuts. What with it being Halloween and all. We, thankfully still have some teeth wreckers left in the shape of toffee apples, guaranteed to remove those loose fillings. Jacques Greene pops up this week with a freebie called "Motivation". Its the type of quality production we have come to expect from the Canadian. Expect more from the man once he finishes his mammoth tour in the coming months. [...]
I've been down in Manchester this week and as this was where I first discovered the glorious Krispy Kreme doughnut, I always make sure to bring some back with me whenever I venture that way. So if you're lucky enough to live in a city where you can buy these - get some down your neck along with these free tunes...and why oh why is there no Krispy Kreme in Glasgow!? Kicking things off this week we've got a fantastic Machinedrum remix of Scuba's "M.A.R.S." courtesy of XLR8R [...]
Lately its been health v sugar as myself and Paul have had our snack battles. It can be a tricky choice how to spend your Saturday munching and after our DJ set and show during the week I need sugar. So here we go with a set sugar to maximum move as we host the Pick'n'Mix. The buzz may last for ages so we better make sure its a bumper crop of freebies this week. One of the tunes of 2010 was without doubt "Fatherless" by the Ben Westbeech alter ego Breach. Well now that the [...]
We're keeping the sugar levels up today with some Mars Bar cake action – if you've never experienced this absolute treat then you've let yourself down.

We're keeping the sugar levels up today with some Mars Bar cake action - if you've never experienced this absolute treat then you've let yourself down. Get involved and get these on the go while you grab some quality free beats. For those that don't know, William Basinski is a classical trained musician who has been creating avant-garde ambient electronic music for over 25 years. One of his most famous works is his "The Disintegration Loops" album. It's a must check out musical adventure and we've spotted a great [...]
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 You know what's fun? Kicking the weekend off early, and that's why I'm recommending that you head down to the Mohawk tomorrow night and order yourself one of those large Brooklyn Lager cans (or a Lone Star tallboy, if you prefer), and then sit back and enjoy four great Austin bands: Black Books, Residual Kid, Boy + Kite, and La Snacks. Tomorrow's show began as an EP release show for Residual Kid, but it has taken on a new meaning. Their music instructor and producer [...]
We take things Mexican this weekend as we roll out one of my favourite ever snacks in Beef Nachos . A heady combination of textures, favours and spice. Just like the free tunes we have lined up! We love a bit of Midland here at the Labs and this absolutely brilliant rework of Washed Out does not disappoint. Head nodding house grooves ahoy, courtesy of XLR8R . Washed Out - You'll See It (Midland re-edit) Next up we've got a chunky number from [...]
Today's snack is something a little bit special. It's more of a breakfast thang but its goodness cannot be denied - it's the rowie . Also known as a buttery, this legendary Scottish snack has to be tried to fully understand it's greatness. Kicking things off for the tunes today we've got an unusually restrained slab of tuneage from Drums of Death courtesy of Mixmag . Rather tasty but could do with an instrumental if ya ask me... Starlings, 'Dark Arts' (Drums Of Death Remix) [...]
Another week passes, another batch of quality tunes for you to download. While we work out way through the music we want to pay homage to the humble scotch pie. The original Scottish fast food. Anything Midland does is of a high quality with his ability to drift between styles with ease. Here he takes on Stateless , retaining the spacey atmosphere while overlaying an infectious 2 step house infused beat. It came out a while ago on Ninja Tune and is now available as a free download [...]
Today's snack sees me veer away from the sugary variety and get my chilli cracker on. Get some of these on the munch while you take in today's tuneage. Kicking things off we've got this lovely slo mo house number courtesy of spanish producer Space Duke . Time to love (Space Duke edit) by Space Duke Next up we've got a rather tasty remix of Profisee's "Movin" courtesy of Morphamish . The original surfaced on his [...]
We are going to hit up a classic breakfast/lunch treat this weekend with some french toast. Bread, eggs and maybe some maple syrup. Its the choice of (slightly sturdy) champions. Get your ears round this stack of tunes in between slices. Starting things off nicely this week we've got the king of the shuffly snare Roska with a dancefloor destroying remix of the new Ben Westbeech single. Packing in a tonne weight of sub bass, a driving synth line and a vocal hook that has "hands in the air" written all [...]
Slow Magic Mix #2 Slow Magic just dropped another mix! This came out of nowhere.. Im guessing this is for the Goldrush fest which will be his first performance. Also the artwork is pretty damn amazing as usual. See him in the bottom right? Thats Slow Magic with his life mask. As a graphic designer I
Another Saturday another particularly fine snack. We're wandering into the worlds of crisps with the mighty Transform-A-Snack . In particular the saucy bbq flavour. Get yourself a couple of bags on the go and get these tunes down your neck too.. H.O.S.H. have stuck this cheeky little bootleg out via his Soundcloud . Its a funky number that's bursting with character. Get involved and get downloading via the down arrow. H.O.S.H. - another one bites the booty by H.O.S.H. [...]
Snacks BB :-( I hardly recognize u. R u okay? What's wrong? Just talk to me. Please. U haven't been acting like urself. Tell me what's wrong? What's been bothering you? Is it Bethany? U didn't like all the time she spent with Drew Barrymore? Yeah, I've never been a big fan of her movies, either. Except "Riding in Cars with Boys". That 1 was actually pretty good. I know, the indie scene is changing. But isn't this what we all [...]
We are in real need of a sugar buzz this weekend after a hard week at work. The 802s provided many such snacks, none more so that the Refreshers sweets. You can still seek these out of your teeth can take it. Why not lets this weeks house selection refresh your ears. We were put onto Matthew Kyle by Ali Herron of Ooft! Music for his house productions. When we checked out his Soundcloud we found this dubbed out reefer number as a free giveaway that we though rude not to share. [...]
Another old school snack this week, and the enemy of every dentist, the Double Dip . Three snacks in one total sugar buzz, enough to keep you running rings around you folks for hours. You may need a rest after that so here are some fresh, free beats to keep the weekend rolling. J Rocc , one of the original turntablists and founder member of the Beat Junkies , has been very busy of late on his Soundcloud page . He has stuck up a myriad of tunes from various styles. Check this [...]
