Nmbrs podcast #19 is a 29 minute mix by Bristol’s Guido. Rolling with Joker and Gemmy and producing nothing but the freshest “p-funk” (or whatever else The Guardian are calling it) sound, Guido is breaking age old conventions of dubstep and trying to turn it from the established sausage fest into something a little… sexier.
Alongside Flying Lotus, Dorian Concept, Gaslamp Killer and the rest, Joker smashed Hearne Street car park at the Brainfeeder London event.
A night (or two) before that he would have been playing at Sonar in Barcelona and courtesy of Pinglewood, here’s a recording of his set. I don’t need to tell you that it’s ESSENTIAL
I’m just going to get it over and done with. RIP Michael Jackson, you’ll be missed. There. Now watch Dwele’s fantastic tribute to the King of Pop. And I don’t want to hear any DJ not dropping a song by MJ into their sets for at least a year.
Ethereal mix from Brainfeeder’s Ras G. If it wasn’t so HOT right now I’d recommend listening to this in the bath. Instead, it might just take your mind off the fact that the office you’re working in has no air conditioning.
Oh, and this is the tracklisting, as written by Ras G
“GB, Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Kutmah, Matthew David,Smegma,Mono/Poly,Misel Quitno,Peter B,Professor Cantloupe, La Voz Sabia De Los Cosmos,
Pudge,Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Mr Oizo,John Baker, Warner Jepson, Carlos Nino & MIguel Atwood Ferguison, Lady Oblivia, Bama,Ta` Raach,…………..Ras_G”
As a bonus to the Kyle Hall mix I just posted, here’s his (excellently titled) track ‘I <3 Dr. Girlfriend’. Enjoy.
I’ve got such a massive back-log of stuff to post and it seems like I’m getting less and less time to turn it out. So, here’s a mega-post of four mixes which have been getting me all excited over the past week or so…
Nosaj Thing & D-Styles for Low End Theory
Low End Theory, Rinse.fm, Brainfeeder, Fact Magazine are all podcasts which you should be subscribed to if you know what’s good for you. So if you haven’t heard this mix already you should just get on iTunes and subscribe away. But, incase you’re not that way inclined, here’s a direct link to the MP3. I remember D-Styles from back in the day on his message board and his album ‘Phantazmagorea’; an all-scratch album beaten only by Ricci Rucker & Mike Boo’s ‘Scetchbook”. Nosaj Thing’s recent release ‘Drift’ is killing it at the moment too. This mix is crammed with slung-back ominous head-nodding that’ll keep you wondering what the names of all those amazing tracks are…
Bok Bok for LuckyMe
Anything LuckyMe touches turns to gold, so it’s unsurprising that when they start fooling around with DJ/producer Bok Bok that we’re in for a fun ride.
Kyle Hall for Fact Magazine
When I did an image search for his name I got some shots of a football player and some gay porn. If there was any real method to how Google does what it does then surely this kid would be number 1 on every search because he’s so damn talented. Hailed as a Detroit-house prodigy, this 18 year old has gained the respect of some of the biggest names in the genre. This mix would sound fantastic at 3am in a sweaty basement club or at 3pm in the garden with a beer. More summer please.
Fact Magazine have an interview with Kyle and are hosting the mix for the next 3 weeks or so.
Simbad for Brainfeeder
I don’t really know much about Simbad. I know he’s from London. This mix for Brainfeeder grafts hip-hop, house and techno all together along with a big helping of synths to give a spacey sounding blend which seems to define the Brainfeeder sound.
LIKE WOAH!
Courtesy of Freshselects.net, here’s Jazmine Sullivan’s newest track ‘Jumpoff” produced by Wajeed. This has been getting some serious play by Benji B and Alex Nut (amongst others) and it’s one of those summer’s day back-yard barbecue tracks that I can’t stop listening to now that London is the sunniest place on earth.
It’s been a long time coming but Ryan Leslie & Fabolous have finally birthed ‘Your Baby’ into the world. Well, half of it at least. Fast forward though 2 minutes and 20 seconds of the video lack luster Fabolous track “It’s My Time” to get to realness. Big summer track.
