Moth Equals

Searching through unsigned artists often throws up surprising results and one welcome surprise was that of young UK based producer, Moth Equals. With 10 years+ production under his belt he’s beginning to carve a sound for himself, evident on not one but two long players he’s made available for music fans. With a variety of stlyes on offer throughout these two albums, Moth Equals and his ‘ghost’ have taken influence from DJ Krush, Massive Attack and Thievery Corporation amongst others and used them to fuel the trip-hop melodies that carry you from start to finish on each LP. A very exciting producer and we’re eager to see him link up with a turntablist he keenly searches for future collaborations. Take in both ‘Dreamcoat’ and ‘The Fall And Rise’, they are a fantastic reflection of one mans creative output.

Both albums available on a name your price basis but do the right thing and bung this guy some ca$h 🙂

Kusto – Klaaatz | Bandcamp

Featured in this fortnight’s mix we have included some particularly spicy weight-laden Dubstep from Estonia. Kusto has already proved himself as a producer on his debut Pyongyang EP, and this release is living up to his previous successes. Brash, jarring and bristling with dubwise samples, ‘Klaaatz’ terrorises the dance like an angry pit bull. Grab it now before it bites you!

Free Beats (or option to buy)

So much fresh music this fortnight. I’ve had a good rummage through Bandcamp and found a whole heap of free niceness. Good for me as I am on the verge of being destitute after an expensive trip away in the south of France. Good for you because we put all the great swag we find in one place for your ease and enjoyment. Whilst you can get all of these for free, you should pay the price you think is right where requested. The artists will certainly appreciate it.

So with heaps more grace than a grumpy French waitress allow me to present to you the first of the show’s offerings; The XXYYXX remix of Tinashe‘s “Let You Love Me’. Go on. Sniff it.

That wasn’t half bad, but wait ’til you hear what’s next – ‘Mind Grow’ by Moses had me reeling from the vibes coming off it. It must be the garlic.

Next up, ethnically inclined duo Beats Antique explore some rhythmic eastern themes in this great free album also available on Bandcamp. Check out our featured track ‘Shrine’. Very palatable.

Divergent Thinking | Free EP | Bandcamp

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.

Clubroot – S​/​T (III – MMXII) I LODUBS

Clubroot is without doubt one of the pioneers of the dubstep/future garage scene. His first album recieved wide acclaim, and despite being somewhat dismissively touted as the next Burial (a rather lazy distinction which is too often used) he has proved a staggering musical force in his own right. The ‘S/T’ (self-titled) trilogy culminates in this third release.

The signature sound is there, deep as we have come to expect, with intricate 2step percussion providing movement in the cold and desolate soundscape. Clocking in at just over an hour in total, there are ambient interludes in the form of ‘Ennio’s Eden’ and ‘Murmur Interlude’ and notable highlights in the shape of oddball unsettler ‘Demon Drum’, the haunting vibes of ‘My Kingdom’ and the hard edged step of ‘Garrison’.

All told, this is a great conclusion to a classic series which is sure to take a prominent place in your CD stack or vinyl collection for years to come. Check below for buy links, this one is out on Lodubs via bandcamp. Oh, and you can catch ‘Inviolable’ on this weeks show.
