Phillip D Kick (Om Unit) – Footwork Jungle Vols I, II and III

Om Unit is one of those prolific producers that has his fingers in pies everywhere. This series of free downloads under the Blade-Runner inspired moniker Philip D Kick re-visits classic Jungle tracks and gives them a Juke/Footwork makeover. Seeing as both Jungle and Drum & Bass are bass heavy club genres with syncopated beats and 160bpm (or thereabouts) tempos it seemed natural to blend them together. The results are staggering. Volume 3 was the final in the series, completed last month. Download all 3 volumes here.

Juju – Thank You For The Gifts

San Fransico based producer and Narco HZ label owner has made these tracks available via Soundcloud through the thankyouforthegifts account. Including tracks such as Tribute and the Gregory Isaac led Babylon refix this collection is a must have. Deep and root tinged riddims to work your headphones or the dancefloor. Bag them. All of them.

Rekchampa

Sometimes we make a musical discovery that makes us really, really happy – Rekchampa is one such discovery. Splicing a myriad of classic R&B samples over his glacial 2 step beats, this Atlanta-bred producer is making big waves across the atlantic. We hope he will be touring the UK soon!

Just listen to this live set from Awful Sessions. Skills!

Listen to and download his previous releases right here on Bandcamp and if you are able to, make a donation.


Ghostek – Unleash the Ghosts

Made available through his Soundcloud & Bandcamp pages, Ghostek offers up this free 3 track EP. Haunting and dark beats a plenty with some great synths and trademark crackles. Absolutely loving this style of 2-step. Not to be missed.

Kaiju, Mykur and TMSV

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.
