Mako’s Utopia Music label returns with the mighty Mute alongside the man himself with 2 storming drum and bass cuts. Both featured on this weeks Robot Bodypop show.
First up is the atmospheric and moody ‘Cali Sleaze’. A future soundscape that we’ve come to love at the RBP.
On the flip its the techy and industrial roller ‘Always’. Heavy subs alongside vocal stabs coupled with a deep groove. Love it.
Released on 30th April. Bag it.
Here come two dutty dancehall riddims from Munich producers Schlachthofbronx. They’ve got an album due out on Disko B records in the near future called ‘Dirty Dancing’. ‘Slowine’ is featured on this weeks show and you can buy the single here. Big daddy riddims worthy of a purchase.
And if, like me, you have trouble with the pronunciation, this video may help you out;
One of my standout releases for this month – Not for want of trying to secure promotional copies I have been waiting on this one for much of last year, in particular due to the inclusion of these two tunes.
I’ve hardly listened to the rest of it yet to be perfectly honest. Those two have been on constant rotation since I finally copped them on the 10th. That’s reason enough for me to urge you to buy it!
If you are looking for a badman producer, Canadian Jacques Greene certainly resembles the e-fit.
Greene’s creations are always up front and ear catching – he has a knack of plucking teasingly familiar snippets out of old R&B or House tunes and recombining them into something fresh and unusual.
The highlight for me is the collaboration with Scottish minimal dubstep producer Koreless – If I was asked to come up with the most unlikely musical collaboration between two contemporary bass music producers of all time – I still wouldn’t have considered putting these two together – their styles are that diverse. Such a great feeling to hear their distinct individual soundscapes working perfectly together on the one track. Believe me, you need to bag this.
Been sat here thinking of a way to justify these two guys awesomness but its easier to allow them to talk:
BackTheTooFuture is a new monthly radio show on EatMusic online radio dot com, presented by 2 incredibly handsome young men. In their occasional absence, Matt Cuz and Joefish will be drafted in last minute as 5th choice replacement pairing.
Specialising in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond, the show will specialise in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond. The idea being that, in specialising in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond we will occasionally succeed in playing music what is good and sounds like it has been made 4 billion gajillion years into the future. OR 4 billion gajillion years into the past. OOOORRRR anytime in between. Give or take.
A monthly show and always keeping the listener involved, these two are here to stay playing purely for a love of the music. What more could you want? To see them in action? Lucky you.

The selection is as upfront as you’d like alongside the selectors personal favourites. Loving this show.
FutureEverything is all about discovering and celebrating the latest developments at the intersection of art and technology. We find and share with you the small sparks that grow into fresh ways of seeing the world.
This gig sounds right up our street – A celebration of Art, Music and Technology based mainly in and around the grounds of Manchester’s famed Science & Industry Museum. Details are still to be confirmed regards the schedule but one confirmed event on the billboard which we will be sure not to miss is Amon Tobin‘s impromptu performance to the North of England at the Manchester Academy on the 19th of May. We recently commiserated missing him in London last year, so this one-off performance is somewhat uncanny!
It’s £25 plus fees for entry, or if you want you can buy a special limited edition wrist band for £55 from here which will grant access to all music events under the FutureEverything banner between the 16th and 19th of May. That also includes VIP access at the Amon Tobin gig. We’ll see you in there shall we?
