Ruffhouse – Demand / Division III

Posted on by

recipe032_digital.indd

Bristol based collective Ruffhouse dropped their debut on Ingredients in October with ‘The
Foot / Bypass’ to much acclaim. Already touted as a force to watch, their follow up is as good if not better!

‘Demand’ really shows their ability to make progressive, forward thinking music and it’s the unpredictability of this track that makes it stand out.

‘Division III’ is equally as impressive, teaming room shattering drums & almighty stabs.

Released on 3rd December worldwide and also available on strictly limited white vinyl. Pre-order here to make sure you don’t miss out.

Not For Sale: Red Bull Music Academy Madrid

This compilation actually now dates back to 2011 but the music far exceeds the time is was concepted. And the 2012 compilation isn’t available yet anyway so bag this.
The annual international music event hosted by Red Bull where up and coming producers, singers, arrangers, DJs and musicians get an opportunity to learn from top industry professionals has been throwing up surprise results year after year.
Incredibly, the compilations are put together and the event in Madrid last years see’s no less than 35 tracks included for free download. In any format I might add for the audiophiles amongst us.
Without going into too much detail theres a rich blend of deep electronica but theres still the core instrument playing musicians there in the fold making this an incredibly varied selection.
Absolutely pushed for standout tracks I might be inclined to say Yosi Horikawa & Dorian Concept with the glorious track ‘Red Sound’ & Jorge Caiado & Mathew Jonson with the deep house vibe on ‘Ecovillage’ are the tracks that led me to seek out the full compilation. Get involved.

Mako’s Utopia Music label returns with the mighty Mute alongside the man himself with 2 storming drum and bass cuts. Both featured on this weeks Robot Bodypop show.

First up is the atmospheric and moody ‘Cali Sleaze’. A future soundscape that we’ve come to love at the RBP.

On the flip its the techy and industrial roller ‘Always’. Heavy subs alongside vocal stabs coupled with a deep groove. Love it.

Released on 30th April. Bag it.

BackTheTooFuture

Been sat here thinking of a way to justify these two guys awesomness but its easier to allow them to talk:

BackTheTooFuture is a new monthly radio show on EatMusic online radio dot com, presented by 2 incredibly handsome young men. In their occasional absence, Matt Cuz and Joefish will be drafted in last minute as 5th choice replacement pairing.
Specialising in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond, the show will specialise in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond. The idea being that, in specialising in electronic junk and stuff past and present and beyond we will occasionally succeed in playing music what is good and sounds like it has been made 4 billion gajillion years into the future. OR 4 billion gajillion years into the past. OOOORRRR anytime in between. Give or take.

A monthly show and always keeping the listener involved, these two are here to stay playing purely for a love of the music. What more could you want? To see them in action? Lucky you.

Watch BackTheTooFuture @ Justin.tv

The selection is as upfront as you’d like alongside the selectors personal favourites. Loving this show.
