Boddika + Blawan + Pinch = Win #15

Kolt' — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:12:20 +0000

Boddika & Joy O – Swims

Finally out on Swamp81! A mighty awaited release by a good collaboration between Joy Orbison and Boddika aka Instra:mental (alongside Jon Convex) get released on Loefah’s Swamp81. So many good names on that tracks say it all : it’s not possible to have missed it. And it’s not possible to be bad release! Huge.
Discogs entry.

Blawan – Peaches

Terrible groove in these tracks ! Clone Basement Series are realy pushing the “things” forward. After Untold, Blawan drop a great track on that label.
Discogs entry.

Pinch – Fabric Live 61

Again, I have to recommend Pinch. This time for a mix on the Fabric Live set. A brillant dubstep-techno mashup with the typical dark groove by the owner of Tectonics label !

Autumn releases #14

Kolt' — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:22:10 +0000

It’s been while since no update of the blog. Oh well some priorities in the life has to do with that. Anyway, let’s get back to the important : releases of these last days,… or weeks (at least, important to me ), in no particular order.

Teebs – Collections 01

Ambient with beats or beats with ambient. You choose, but it’s anyway a fine music to listen at home or in front of a sunset (or just close your eyes, the sunset come then). discogs entry.

Untold – Little Things Like That

Not ambient on that one, just the opposite. There are really groovy moving tracks typically of the “Untold” way : technoid with a big bass. discogs entry.

Goldffinch & Jay Weed – Dirty Bird

There are not many released tracks from both of theses artists. But you’ve better checked them out : lots of groove in it, without being cheesy like many UK Funky things. discogs entry.

Illium Sphere – Titan EP

One of the big 3024 EP IMHO. Especially the track Titan itself, it has something of Flying Lotus mashed up with James Holden, with groove, and with a longer track (really subjective opinion, though ). discogs entry.

Martyn – Ghost People

Another huge release of Martyn’s 3024 label. His second album is here and is full of music all the electronic genres, or quite. It is really different from the older works from Martyn, and still good electronic music. discogs entry.

The Haxan Cloak

Really diffent sounds on that one. Across experimental, organic, ambient, classic music. So yes, across many genres, but not like many bad results in the “trying to mix the genre together but it’s a miss”, here is a fine and interesting result. discogs entry.

Pinch & Shackleton

I guess there is nothing to say : first duo of these two major artists of the dubstep genre could have only brought something (at least) interesting. The result is a brillant album with lots of fresh feelings in it. discogs entry.

Floating Points – Shadows

Deep and groovy. It could have been known as IDM (in a positive definition ), but it’s probablly way too deep and… intellectual to get this label. Brillant as well. discogs entry.

Monday 28th of November, Steppas Choice Radio Show

Kolt' — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 21:14:38 +0000

Next time I’ll show up on the now legendary show. C4Tr just did the 200th show and it’s now a 4 year that he’s doing the weekly event. Keep it ruling, C4TR.

It’s always a pleasure to get there and drop the tunes and feeling free about it. It’s now more and more uncommon as soon as the word dubstep in any sort involved. Sad, but true, I guess. Anyway, I’m happy to be there again, and hopefully, you too!

Tribute to Swamp 81 #13

Kolt' — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 12:50:34 +0000

Loefah’s Swamp 81 might be the label of the year for many people. It is for me, at least. Drifting from his originial deep sound’s from the DMZ released to a more housy technoïd vibes, Loefah is still on the edge of the new releases. Supporting artists like Boddika aka Instra:mental, Addison Groove aka Headhunter, Joy Orbison (?), Ramadanman Pinch, Kryptic Minds (though this last one is more on the classic deep dubstep thing). Loefah’s show on Rinse are ridiculous and are really a step forward in the bass music area. They represent well where Loefah’s music is going. Last from July even integer a bunch of hip hop tracks (not grime ). Brillant!

Each release on this label is IMHO a masterpiece. Here as the ones I recommend, but if you can, grab all of them (not to mention the white releases…)

Boddika – 2727

discogs entry

Joy Orbison (?) – Sicko Cell / Knock Knock

Well, is it really Joy Orbison ? Who knows… who cares?

discogs entry

Addison Groove – Footcrab / Dumbsh*t

Pinch – Croydon House

And don’t forget to check all the other releases of the label on discogs. And here the last (14th of July) Rinse FM show from Loefah : Loefah140711.mp3 .

Enjoy.

Some Albums & Podcasts #12

Kolt' — Tue, 17 May 2011 14:14:50 +0000

Kode9 & co – Black Sun

No need to present Kode9 and Space Ape… may be Chachacha. Whatever, the atmosphere of this album is far more than worth just a listen. Really deep sometimes close to experimental but always some fine beat in it !

discogs entry

Force Intel’s series

The prestigious Mille Plateaux label (or what it seems now the Vertical Label Group) as just released three new albums under the sub label Force Intel which are more in the electronica style oriented. Still worth to listen the new sounds from Mille Plateaux ! In store now :

Lodsb – Lazer.eyes.love

Wyatt Keusch - Object-Relations

Yu Miyashita - Noble Niche

Boiler Room Podcast

How could you have missed it ? A tv ? A podcast series ? A website ? A club ? Well, the Boiler Room is a bit of all of them alltogether and well mixed. Moreover, the line up of the podcast is just awesome ! Ben Ufo, Pinch, James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Kode9, Jamie XX, Girl Unit, Bok Bok, Zed Bias, Loefah, Addison Groove… What a pleasure for your ears ! You may have just ask the guy shouting at the beginning that there is no need to shout… but anyway….

Loefah’s and Clairvoyants’ Rinse FM mix

Two mixes from the now regular’s set of this artists. Loefah’s going definetly to the 120 – 140 bpm techno house dubt whatsoever thing and Clairvoyant with much more deep cold techno thing. Check them on the Rinse FM Podcast.

Loefah’s mix.

Clairvoyants’ mix.

Enjoy.
