Bleep.com Previews Hyperdub “5”

Bleep.com have announced the full vinyl tracklisting for Hyperdub’s fifth anniversary compilation “5”, complete with audio clips of all the tracks

Five vinyl EPs will be released, one a week, in the run up to the release of a double CD compilation. Importantly, the double CD will feature all the tracks present on the vinyl EPs… and more! Which is good, cause I can’t see any Burial on those vinyls.

And who are Black Chow? The track is called “Purple Smoke” which hints at Joker and his gang, but there are plenty of other top-secret Hyperdub collabs rumoured (Burial+FlyLo, FlyLo+Joker) that could fit the bill…

L.A. Dope – Give Up Art

Give Up Art, the people behind the branding of FWD, Tempa and Rinse got together with photographer Shaun Bloodworth to bring you “L.A. Dope”, a selection of photographs documenting the L.A. beat scene. Great snaps of producers like Flying Lotus, Ras G, Gaslamp Killer, Dam-Funk and Samiyam.

Ras G – Cosmic Tones 4 Mental Therapy

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”

Dorian Concept + FlyLo jam at Brainfeeder London

Brainfeeder London was easily the best live event I’ve been to this year. You might have seen me on the door collecting tickets and stamping hands but I got inside to see Gaslamp Killer, Flying Lotus, Dorian Concept and Joker. Pity I missed Samiyam, cause I heard that he killed it. For me, Dorian was the highlight of the night. I’m not sure if I imagined it or not but I think the kid started rocking out a little too hard and tried (and failed) to play his keyboard with his face. Anyway, here’s a video of him jamming with Fly Lo and some guy on the guitar (who was that?)

BRAINFEEDER LONDON

LIKE WOAH!

Take Brainfeeder Mix

Flying Lotus has posted a new mix by Brainfeeder comrade Take, titled ‘The Brain Stays Fed’. Any mix which starts with Floating Points’ “K&G Beat” is guaranteed to get my attention, and I’m glad that this mix did. Other artists featured on the mix include Paul White, Martyn, 2tall, Mr. Beatnik, Griffi and Fulgeance. Highly recommended.

FEED YOUR BRAIN

As a bonus, here’s Take’s remix of Flying Lotus’ “Parisian Goldfish” which will feature on the soon-to-be-released “L.A. EP 3×3”

Warp.net

Warp Records have a new website, and it’s pretty impressive if you ask me. Then again, I’m a little biased towards this one. CHECKITOUT!

Slow day – Some Mixes

Nothing report today – so – just to keep things moving here’s a few mixes I’ve been listening to recently. Courtesy of various people on Dubstepforum.com

Jakes – April Mix – sendspace

Rustie – BTS Radio Mix – MP3 from btsradio.net

Flying Lotus – Live @ FWD (first few tracks are the end of Kode9’s set) – MP3

Surprise!

Flying Lotus and Kode9 are playing another gig this week. It’s tonight, it’s at FWD and it’s with El-B. Get down to Plastic People if this isn’t too short notice.

Brainfeeder

I found out the other day that Brainfeeder are coming to London again this summer. I missed it last year but heard it was pretty serious. Am I right in thinking it was in a car park out east somewhere? Venue doesn’t really matter when you’ve got acts like that anway.

This first podcast from Brainfeeder is a good one. Mixed by Ras G, Samiyam and Flying Lotus. Hope there’s more to come.
