Free Beats

Posted on September 1, 2012 by Killian

An absolute bagful of free tracks this week hand picked by the Bot searching deep to bring you some, well, deep tracks. Dig it.

First up is a track from young producer Panda with a riddim beyond his years. ‘Fate’ crafts deep vibes around a classic movie sample. Love this

Next theres a double header from the mighty Quantum Soul starting with the roots vibes on ‘Karnak’

Before a collaboration with FatKidOnFire sees ‘Reminisce’ get a release and we’re doubly happy as this track could have been lost for eons

Moving on theres Numbernin6 with an awesome track in ‘Four’ which is presented in all its raw glory. Loving this track

Following up these beauties we have Geode with ‘Transfix’ made available by the Deep Heads crew. A lush track. Smooth as you like

Some badman junglist vibes from the Hi Fidel Cartel with ‘How Far’. One to make you skank around the room. Or in your car. You get the idea!

Then we have a deep house remix of the awesome Submotion Orchestra. Opta Block takes control and remixes ‘Blindspot’.

This download made available exclusively by Groovement which you can find here.

Wiley was never one for resting on his laurels and judging from the continuous stream of free downloads cropping up on his twitter account that is not about to change any time soon. He also gives plenty of opportunity to young up and coming talent – Priceless is the 16 year old producer behind ‘Crystal Clear’, a massive free download which cropped up on www.grimeforum.com and sb.tv recently.

Priceless has just released the ‘Team Priceless EP’, a selection of 8 Grime flavoured instrumentals (which includes the instrumental from the track above) for MC’s to use as they wish – provided they credit the producer. Grab it here.

Thanks to Grant Brydon of sb.tv for putting us on to this next freebie. Another fresh young producer making waves on the London scene is Distinction – And this Usher refix is his most recent in a run of free tracks. Fantastic sounds here – Those who caught him down at Fabric recently will surely not have been disappointed.

El-B featuring Wiley | Romp V.I.P.

Posted on April 11, 2012 by 1nejack

About 6 months previous we sent a begging email to dark garage proponent El-B for a copy of this insane VIP mix to play on our show. Whilst not forthcoming he did take the time to drop this short reply into our inbox a couple of days ago

just got this msg now. lool

holla

neglecting to mention that the track in question had been made available to all and sundry via Soundcloud for a limited time only – Cheers mate! If you haven’t yet heard it then you are in for a treat. The original track minus Wiley‘s vocal came out in february as a limited vinyl – Hopefully they will be re-stocking soon. Big up if you caught this VIP whilst it was available and if you didn’t thats some snide luck. Catch it at the end of 1nejack‘s set on this weeks show. Next time.

Skittles – Poor With £100 Trainers

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Killian

Hotly anticipated on the Estate Recordings label, wordsmith Skittles returns with his second LP. The album features Skittles own productions alongside Chimpo, Dub Phizix and DRS alongside vocals from Mr Fox and Fallacy. A serious recipe for a long player. The album features cuts released previously as a taster such as ‘Tip-i-Cally’, ‘Boys In Blue’ and the monster ‘Dot2Dot’ as well as some fresh cuts like Robot Bodypop favourite, ‘Lying Here’. As Estate Recordings like to put it:

Imagine a piece of classical music, put it in a blender and add some reggae/ska to it, throw a load of broken instruments in the mix and a few proper cold rappers, sprinkle in some grime an a vinyl,add a bit of pop an pulse until smooth, an you will have nothing like what this album is.

Released on the 5th March in Manchester where you can catch the launch party at The Deaf Institute with a worldwide release following on the 12th March. Pick this album up. Don’t sleep.

ADP & Ritual

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Killian

Two monster tracks this week. The first from Californian producer and Organized Grime resident ADP. A dark and sinister roller with punchy drums and futuristic synths, this track is one you could easily work into the dancefloor.

Next up its a remix of a Robot Bodypop favourite, Jamie Woon. Theres been many reworkings of his ‘Lady Luck‘ track but the soft and melodic 2 step number rolled out by Ritual is probably the finest we’ve heard. The vocals roll above and below the smooth soundscape and the fact this guy is only 16 means only big things for this part time Mancuinian resident.
