Parental advisory is required for this one. Raw vibes with venomous vocal delivery by Gravity comes remixed by Dubstep heavyweight BadKlaat and the mighty Requake. I won’t warn you a second time – if you are easily offended, f**k off now. C**t. Free to download.
Hot off the press, the cats at Fat Kid On Fire and Hedmuk have played a staggering blinder here. Legend4ry lives every bit up to his name on the seminal ‘Four Listening’.
Here he blazes a positive and altruistic trail of highly accomplished, diverse and interesting music. Available for free to all and sundry via the ever expanding and industry changing environs of the internet, make sure you don’t fail to snatch this unmissable release.
More funky mellow sounds from the Slime camp, this one being the 43rd release in their steady rise since early 2010. Having left Wales for Lödz, Poland, melodic bass producer Soaka drops the ‘All The While EP’ in November. Expect punchy beats and seasoned production – The preview is mighty impressive so keep your ears peeled for when it hits!
October is shaping up to be a great month and our ears have been busy. Istanbul producer Stiver dropped the ‘Hollow EP’ back on the 14th and it’s only now we are getting the chance to give it a proper listen and comment.
Fans will be pleased to hear that deep and meditative 2-step breaks are the staple throughout. ‘Hollow’ is a taut introduction with a steadily building string section and pensive vocal that increases the tension step by step. ‘Paralyzed’ is no less emotive and builds the pace well with filtered organs and cavernous percussion. In ‘Just Friends’ we are given hints of Stiver‘s recording environment with sequestered winds and echoing percussion cinematically alluding to the far away bustle of a large city at night. Finally on ‘Merged’ the desolation is offset by a faint message of hope that rolls out nicely with shifting beats that clink and shuffle over swarming choral harmonies. Masterful work, well worthy of its place in the playlist – check the links below.
Liverpool-based Resketch follows up the excellent Bound In Binary EP with this phenomenally funky release on the Infinite Machine label.
Hitting play, ‘Numf’ is energetic, bright and jumpy with stabby chords and switched up synths giving way to a fixating percussive pitched vocal. ‘It Could Be’ brings it down nicely with mellow filtered down chords and a steady 4/4 beat that takes it back with an old school vocal sample. ‘Reason For A Reason’ is a boisterous electronic ballyhoo which sets the tone for Framework and Liar to drop accomplished remixes. Smash and grab people!
C.I.A offshoot DeepKut presents the next instalment of the Kuts Deep series Vol 3. 2 x CIA veterans are drafted in for this release. A side sees Beta 2, who has been away from the game, returning on top form with the vocal number ‘Love Finds Me’ featuring the vocal talents of Pete Josef.
The flip sees fellow Dubliner Zero T dropping some serious filth with the track ‘Red Hand’ This 12 is not to be missed. The latter track being a deep rolling vocal number that makes you stand up and take count. Salute!
