Mindset Records 009

We’re big fans of the Mindset Records camp, not least playing lots of their cuts on our radio show. Their latest release sees a 3 track debut from Troy Gunner. Instantly adding himself to the rich and infectious melodies present in the back catalogue, this teenage producer keeps you on your toes with each track. While the melodies carry you along the sonic manipulation keeps your ears alert. Rhythmic 2-step, atmospheric pads and rolling progression make this release really stand out, Dancing In The Leaves is a personal favourite but have a listen, make up your own mind and enjoy. Cop the release on 5th December.

Combined with Shogun Audio, this event sees Icicle, Rockwell, the mighty Break all playing alongside Manchesters Dub Phizix and Hit & Run head man Rich Reason. Hosts for the night are SP:MC, DRS & Strategy. Excited? You should be.

Samurai Horo – HOR001

Once again taking the unfamiliar, and unpopular route, Samurai Music / Red Seal has created a vinyl only record series for 2011. With the public’s disposable view of music rapidly increasing as we go further and further into the digital age, Horo want to put value back into their released recordings and in turn reward the people that still pay the most for their music. ‘Horo’ was a cloak attached to the back of armour worn by elite Samurai messengers in wartime. Capturing an elite tsukai-ban messenger wearing a horo was a coveted prize.The ‘Horo’ vinyl series is an exclusive limited edition series that will come as a pre cursor to a release by the same artist on Samurai Music or Samurai Red Seal. Samurai Music began it’s output on 10″ singles that identified us strongly, so we are glad to see the return to the 10″ format for these limited collectors items.

Future music at its very experimental best with these two cuts from Tokyo Prose & FIS

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.

Paper Tiger – Worldwide Takeover EP

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.
