Divergent Thinking | Free EP | Bandcamp

Posted on by

A collaborative release from Kee, Dimitri & Dekoi has pricked our ears this week. Released for free on the Divergent Thinking imprint, this chilled and thoughtful release crosses a range of genres.

Kee‘s opening track is a euphoric atmosphere-drenched trip hop number. Dekoi‘s jazz influences and old school production values hold their own here with a diverse set of tracks from ‘Drifting’ – a smooth-as-you-like liquid DnB joint with a rainy afternoon feel – right through to the more jump-up garage sound of ‘Not A Cloud’. Dimitri comes from a more experimental standpoint with ‘Jazz Cafe’ bringing meandering piano melodies and distorted percussion. ‘Nitelites’ busted drums and driven bass is laced with sampled vocals and more of a synth-feel. Dimitri also lends his distinctive bass sound to Kee‘s opener.

This soothing EP will keep you cool on those hot summer nights and is well worth a download. Grab it and keep an ear out for future releases.

Summer is definitely with us and we have crafted a show for outside play especially. How are your neighbours going to learn to appreciate good music if you don’t turn it up? With a couple of delicious freebies from Sound Pellegrino Termal Team and Squarehead we are set firmly in House territory for 1nejack‘s set. Bringing in brand new Dubstep from Gravious and a keen Orbital remix from Concept we’ve also details Qualmsound‘s brand new ‘Elements’ EP and we feature the Blynk remix of ‘Water’ from the very same. Killian brings more free music from Aaron Static, Sunyata and Shaolin FC, plus some Siberious vibes in Volume 6 of the mighty Transmit Series as Vaomm jumps in to a brilliantly bright mix of varied colours and flavours. эти русские с ума!

Also this week we were graced with the presence of Sam Sapin and the Bez-like Joe Hardy in the studio – Sam is a film and documentary maker and you can check out his productions at www.letthemonkeyout.com, some of which have featured on Channel 4 and Al Jazeera. Joe is just Joe, watch out for him doing his thing at Robot Bodypop‘s live shows in the future. You’ll have to come along to see exactly what that is though!

A sizeable slice of the music featured on this weeks show is free to download. Much of it can be found buried deep in the annals and back passages of the internet but to save you the bother (plus we wouldn’t want you getting dirty) we post all the links to tunes we use up here regularly. Grab em.

First up it’s off key House music from the Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team. This is the Douster remix and it bangs. Grab it on Mediafire.

 

Next up it’s Squarehead, with his track ‘ZB-402’ coming as part of a series of free tunes that you will only catch if you follow him on facebook – As that is the only place they are being posted. We will let you go and have a look, just check the timeline. All in 320kbps.

Music producers can be fickle, and what they giveth they may taketh away. TOTTE put ‘Shadows’ up for free download a few days ago but it seems that it has currently been disabled. Checking the comments feed he has alluded to posting up an alternative link, but that has yet to materialise. Keep your eyes peeled though as this is a banger!

This next one comes from Qualmsound‘s fresh new ‘Elements’ EP which is free to download from his facebook page. Click like and you can scoop it from his timeline. There are 6 tracks of chillness covering Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. There are also remixes included and we included Blynk‘s ‘Water’ version in this weeks show. For the bitrate obsessed the WAV file is right here.

This next one’s on a political tip. Featuring samples of disgruntled members of the UK population this one will stir that revolutionary spirit in you. Aaron Static knows just what he’s doing and ‘Social Meltdown’ is a certified window smasher.

Looking back slightly to 6 months ago Sunyata posted this one to thank his fans for 1000 followings on Soundcloud. It’s still fresh, and I’m sure he will appreciate more likes so go and check him out.

And finally we bring this mellow summer track from well named Shaolin FC. This one needs sunshine and water so give it some play out there!

Käärkäsi – Hypno EP | Lejal Globe

Posted on by
Reply

We featured Estonian artist Kusto on this blog recently and it would appear word has been spreading throughout the local music scene over there –  this  just dropped into our inbox courtesy of Käärkäsi (another name I’m inevitably going to pronounce wrong).

The theme is basement-thumping dark garage reminiscent of Zed Bias and El-B‘s earlier work. Filthy undertones are punctuated by moments of melodic bliss, but you won’t relax for long – the persistent development of skippy rhythms and the grubby sub bass grinding away underneath keep your limbs moving. For that reason in particular, this little lot are going straight into the ‘playing out’ folder.

Released under the Lejal Globe imprint, you can grab all 5 tracks on iTunes or Amazon, or if you would rather get a 320 or wav (and why not) they are available on Juno. Preview the whole thing below via Soundcloud. Go on then!

NDREAD – Everything | ICU Audio

Much like chocolate gateaux, Garage is at its best when it’s chilled and crispy. That’s certainly the case for this amazing new release from 2-step producer and SUB FM DJ Ndread. Rolling in with the retro-esque ‘Everything’ we are bounced along nicely into the beautiful soulful vocal mix of the track ‘Apologies’. This is then complemented by the instrumental to round off the release. You can preview our favourite track from this release below, and buy the whole thing from Juno here.
