Hailing from Chesterfield Virginia USA, Controlled Kaos delivers freshly chilled vibes with this free release, continuing the trend of great free music from this collective.
Watch out for his fresh plate coming out December 30th entitled ‘Reality’. Listen to a clip here:
And if you weren’t already aware of this, check out the massive free compilation presented by DJ Sashwat from a couple of years back:
2 free downloads this week, both coming out of the shadows with some deep and creeping soundscapes.
First up is a track put forward as part of the Dispatch Recordings Octane and DLR sample pack competition. 40 samples were offered up for producers to make use of and Method One by Kaiju is a big favourite of us here on the Robot Bodypop.
Next is a track by Dutch duo Mykur and TMSV with Icarus. An exciting collaboration and the track was made available last month. Love this riddim.
You’ll have to excuse us for sleeping on this one a little while. We have been fans of Paper Tiger for well over 2 years now since catching a couple of their live shows in Manchester, and somehow this debut EP had escaped our attention until last month when it was uploaded to soundcloud.
Apologies aside, these guys are something a bit special. A future hip-hop and dubstep crew hailing from Leeds, Paper Tiger fuse electronic beats and synthesisers with live instrumentation, at times laced with the lyrical talents of MC Raphael Attar.
Grab one of the last few CD’s available of their debut EP via bandcamp before they are all gone forever!
Also you can grab a free download of the title track remixed by BUG right here.
We will be keeping you updated on their forthcoming work so stay locked to the show and the blog in coming weeks.

Apologies this week but we’ve both had to take gardening leave. As such we haven’t been able to lace the music with our sultry Mancunian tones and have had to let the music do the talking. The selection remains as upfront as always and normal service will be resumed next week. Enjoy.

Following on from Broke’N’English’s recent Umbro bursary, their versatile imprint Estate Recordings is back in business. Luckily for you, us and any other fan of upfront music, their first release is Mancunian wordsmith Skittles newest cut. Out on the 7th November, Dot2Dot is already on Radio 1 rotation and gaining airplay from Mary Anne Hobbs amongst others.
