Rudi Zygadlo in Session

Final post of the year and I don't really know what to say about this mix. I know my faith in dubstep has been slipping... But then along comes this. All I know is that I've been playing it on repeat. Fucking sensational.

Rustie – Live from Warp 20

Someone already found this in my Mediafire account and posted it to dubstepforum so it's already had massive downloads. An actual live set from one of my favourite artists, Rustie. From Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 10th of December, 2009.
Anyway I think it's a live set. None of the vocal stuff he usually plays in his DJ sets is in there and as suspected (and confirmed at dubstepforum) it's all his own stuff. Great to hear Bad Science, one of the years greatest tracks and also Jagz The Smack! Been a while since I heard that in a set.

Fucking awesome music I recommend to everyone.

No tracklist.

Reso mix

From the same show as the Peverelist mix and a great way to show how dubstep has become more of an umbrella term than techno once was. Imagine explaining to an alien that the style of music on both of these mixes is called dubstep. Especially when there's a million names for all the different kinds of house music that all sound pretty much the same... I guess that's how dubstep got tagged as being "experimental".

I'm not too sure about Reso. Metal Slug was a fucking wicked track but after that he became a bit too drum n bassey for my tastes. But then he goes and samples one of the best movies of all time so I had to dip my hat to that. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there unconvinced by Reso, but even if you are you should try this mix as it's quite good. Way more subdued than his productions. OK maybe not way more... (I have it in the headphones now and some chainsaw-type sounds just started. I gotta listen to these things more before I start crapping on about them...)

Peverelist mix

From Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 3 December 2009. As much as I find it hard to get excited by most dubstep these days I was looking forward to this quite a lot. Not that I'm that into Peverelist's tunes, but for the fact he did easily one of the best mixes for MAH last year. He straddled the line of minimalism without ever getting boring or repetitive and has repeated the trick really well with this new mix. Not really a contender for mix of the year this time (more to do with my tastes right now than the mix being not as good), it's still an awesome sequel to last years masterpiece.

Clark Mix

This came out of nowhere. It wasn't in the "coming up" section and after falling in love with the new album Totems Flare, I couldn't have got a better surprise than this, Clark doing a 30 minute mix for Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental for the 15th of July 2009.

No tracklist again this week but I can tell you it's a good one. Opening with a track from what was easily one of my favourite albums from last year, Harvey Milk's Life... The Best Game In Town, just blew me off my fucking seat. Headbanging at my work desk did follow. Then mixing from that into Rainbow Voodoo, one of the highlights from Totems Flare, made me realise I was about to get into one of the best mixes from the show all year. A few more tracks from the album are on there and other artists like Zomby get an airing as well.

One thing though, when he launches into Hypnotize by Biggie, a track I fucking adore, all the swearing has been taken out and it sounds FUCKING SHIT. That's one thing that's always bugged me about the MAH show. It goes out at 3 in the morning, yet they constantly edit swearing. I just think if you're the kind of person that gets offended by swearing in music, don't listen to the radio at 3am! It's not like it's prime time, yet we're subjected to versions of songs that sound like they're being played on some Video Hits type show. And with hiphop, there's more that's cut out than what's left in! So we get to hear Biggie rap every fourth word. Awesome. In this it sounds like he's fucked it up a bit more to kind of hide the swearing edits but, it doesn't work. Leave the swearing in or don't fucking play hiphop. Simple.

Anyway that's seriously the ONLY downside of what is an incredible mix.

Mochipet Mix

Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental, 8th of July 2009.

I'd been meaning to check out Mochipet for a while. I was going to download his XLR8R Podcast but after browsing the tracklist it looked a bit too much like a silly mashup set so I didn't bother. And after listening to his MAH mix, yes it is like that but he just pulls it off somehow. Silly animal costumes and all.

Tracklisting to follow

Download

P.S. That "tracklisting to follow" is copied and pasted from the BBC website. It's basically code for "there won't be a tracklist for this mix".

P.P.S What You Know by T.I. still rules. And Bump by Spank Rock is still pretty cool, even when being banged into MJ's Thriller.

Guido Mix

Was looking forward to this as I really like the Punch Drunk record I have of his. This mix might be a tad too safe / mainstream for my tastes but it definitely has its moments.

Guido - ‘Get Up Remix Featuring Yolanda’
Guido – ‘Shades Of Blue’
Guido – ‘Chakra’ (Punch Drunk)
Guido – ‘Beautiful Complication Featuring Aarya’ (Punch Drunk)

FACT Mix 59: Subway

I don't normally post mixes before hearing them but I'm just too excited about this. It's different to pretty much everything that’s been posted on this blog, but the tracklist just looks too delicious not to share.
The only Subway tracks I have are from the latest Soul Jazz Singles collection and they definitely stand out from the rest. The sound has so much in common with the electronic music of the 70s, especially stuff from Germany, but still retains a modern feel, and never feels like a pale imitation. Subway's German influence is very obvious here with tracks in this mix from Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Harmonia (which is what their Soul Jazz tracks most sound like) and the more recent sounds of Basic Channel.
They also play a few legendary bands from the noise scene, including personal favourites Wolf Eyes and Black Dice.
They also play a tune from one of the Stereolab/Nurse With Wound collaborations - I never got around to hearing this so I'm pretty excited.

Space Machine - Untitled
KK Null - N-02
Black Dice - Night Flight
Ash Ra Tempel - Ocean Of Tenderness/Sunrain
Subway - Monochrome
Syn - TAT 93
Wolf Eyes - Ancient Delay
Kraftwerk - Atem
Throbbing Gristle - Dream Machine
Stereolab/Nurse With Wound - Trippin' With The Birds
Chris Carter - Clouds
Subway - Theera
Subway - Delta II
Kraftwerk - Airwaves
Tangerine Dream - Madrigal Meridian
Throbbing Gristle - AB/7A
Cluster - Heisse Lippen
Subway - Simplex (Gatto Fritto Mix)
Harmonia - Notre Dame
Basic Channel - Mutism
Cluster - Fotschi-Tong
Kraftwerk - News
Conrad Schnitzler - Ballet Statique
Ash Ra Tempel - Lotus Part 1

TOKiMONSTA Mix

First mix of the Mary Anne Hobbs show from the 10th of June 2009.

Hopefully most of you downloaded the amazing TOKiMONSTA Brainfeeder podcast from a few weeks back, cause if you did you'll know what to expect and I can write as little as possible. The quick version is LA's TOKiMONSTA, signed to Flylo's Brainfeeder label and making very exciting instrumental music using a wide variety of real and computer-based instruments. It's always good to hear real instruments being used in this type of music and it gives TOKiMONSTA's sound a vintage quality which is a total win in my opinion.

TOKiMONSTA – ‘Playing With Toys’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘So Sick’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Last Night's Blurry Memories’
TOKiMONSTA ft Gavin Turek – ‘Moon Bloom’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Fall Dreams’
TOKiMONSTA – ‘Questing’

Kotchy Mix

This mix by Brooklyn's Kotchy really blew me away. It's like he's deconstructed hiphop and then rearranged it in a variety of different forms, from the bare bones minimalist vibe at the start to the more straight up vocal stuff further in. I recommend this mix to everyone. You don't have to be into hiphop, in fact sometimes it strays so far you don't know what to call it! But underneath is the spirit and soul of hiphop.

You might have heard the song One For The Money. Awesome, awesome tune. It comes in at about 4.35 if you're counting. Such a good track.


Kotchy – ‘Raise Your Eyebrows’ (89 / Civil Music/Seclusiasis)
Kotchy – ‘Falling In Love’ (89)
Kotchy – ‘One For The Money’ (89)

The Clonious Mix

Clubroot

I discovered Clubroot from his Mary Anne Hobbs mix back in early March (just before I started this here blog) and have been meaning to post his mix for ages.
Originally broadcast on the 11th of March sandwiched in between Boxcutter and Jega, you'd think that sharing a show with those two he would be in danger of being overshadowed, so I was happy to be blown away as soon as this started coming through my headphones.
I'd heard his set during the day while listening to the entire show and it sounded pretty good, but it wasn't until after I cut out the mix and played it through my headphones that it really started to make sense. From the very start with its lush synthy intro I was hooked. Then the beat came in and I started to realise how oldschool the mix is, from the garage beats to the rave-like atmospherics. I guess a similar artist would be Burial, but only in the sense that both artists seem to be looking back for inspiration. Whereas Burial creates mood and atmosphere through his recording techniques and "rough" finished product, Clubroot just seems intent on making awesome dance music that captures the spirit of many genres past.

I finally got around to posting this mix (it's been in my Mediafire account for ages) because his album is out this week and judging from the tunes here, it's an essential purchase.


Clubroot – ‘Orbiting’ (Dubplate)
Clubroot – ‘Lucid Dream’ (Lodubs)

n5md Label Sampler with Bitcrush

And now for something completely different. The latest podcast from XLR8R brings us an hour and twenty minutes of really nice post-rock. Unfortunately post-rock has become one of the genres with more generic shit being released than actual good stuff, it's just lucky that when the good stuff is good, it's really fucking good. All I have to do is remember the first time I heard tracks like Mogwai Fear Satan or East Hasting by Godspeed and I realise why I do love this genre and why I still give new post-rock bands a chance.
So it's good to hear some new stuff that's really exciting. Granted not all of this "mix" is post-rock (XLR8R don't actually use the term when talking about the set, probably due to the site's electronic leanings) and not all of it is, but by the time Six Points Of Fire by Lights Out Asia finishes you're gonna want to buy a guitar. And lots of pedals.

Brackles seems to be blowing up at the moment. With a 12" on the way from Planet Mu and a set on Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental this week, I think we'll see Brackles leading the charge in the re-emergence of all these garage and two step sounds.

Dub War Mix Built by Dave Q, Joe Nice, Badawi and Incyde feat vocals by Juakali

It's battle of the US club nights on this week's Mary Anne Hobbs Show, 27th of May 2009. First off is an epic 48+min mix from the NY club Dub War.
One of the best things about this mix is the Darkstar track. You can hear a snippet of it in their Hyperdub Showcase mix from last year but it doesn't do it justice. Those strings building up over the garage beat, bliss. One of those great tracks that's almost cheesy but just manages to pull it off. We need an album from these guys now.

Badawi – ‘More of the Same’ [Spatial Remix] (The Index)
Darkstar – ‘Untitled’ (Dub)
Brackles – ‘Rawkus’ (Dub)
DJG – ‘Apophenia’ [Jus Wan Remix] (Dub)

Untold – ‘It's Gonna Work Out Fine’ (Dub)
Ramadanman – ‘Bleeper’ (Dub)
Skream – ‘Rollin’ (Dub)
Kutz – ‘Freak’ (Dub)
Distance – ‘Twilight’ (Dub)
Mala – ‘Explorer’ (Dub)
Badawi Feat.Vengeance Tenfold – ‘Dstry Prfts’ [Shackleton remix] (Dubplate)
Badawi – ‘El Topo’ (Forthcoming The Index)
Badawi – ‘Lost Highway’ (The Index)
FaltyDL – ‘Tronman’ (Dub)
Incyde – ‘Patter’ (Dub)
Scuba – ‘Klinik’ (Hotflush)
James Blake – ‘Air and Lack Thereof’ (Hemlock)

FACT Mix 25: Gemmy

Excellent mix by Gemmy for FACT Magazine. Coming out of Bristol, Gemmy is easily one of my favourite dubstep producers right now, confirmed by the release of the amazing Planet Mu 12" Supligen. Gemmy is all about the Bristol sound, big synths and slow almost-hiphop beats with menacing basslines beneath. Obviously a must for Joker fans.

Rustie - 'Black Block' Remix
Gemmy - 'Purple Moon'

AGF/Delay mix for Symbiosis on Overlap

AGF/Delay released their second album this year and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I really like both artists on their own, AGF's 2008 album Words Are Missing was one of my favourites of the year, but something about the album didn't really click with me. I enjoyed it and all I just found that after a few weeks I kind of forgot it was there. I might have another go now after hearing this mix. The tracklist is one I normally dream about with amazing artists like William Basinski, Fennesz and Steve Reich alongside more mainstream names like Tricky and Ms Dynamite. It might seem a bit ambitious but it works extremely well, creating a mix that's organic and human while being synthetic and alien at the same time. Very recommended.

1. Aavaavaa - Helsinki Caving In
2. Alva Noto - U_03
3. AGF - Her Beauty Kills Me (unreleased)
4. AGF/DELAY - Congo Hearts
5. Uusitalo - Nälkälaulu
6. Ø - Unien Holvit
7. TBA - March In Ocean And Falling Asleep
8. Erikah Badu - Twinkle
9. Zavoloka & AGF - Do Divchyny
10. William Basinski + Richard Chartier - Untitled 3
11. Yo Majesty - Blame It On The Change
12. Wendt - Sun
13. Fennesz - Black Sea
14. Tricky - Veronika
15. Meshell NdegeOcello - Sloganeer
16. Ms Dynamite & Akala - Time To Get Free
17. Mika Vainio - Yksinäisyys, Suru, Katkeruus
18. AGF/DELAY - Downtown Snow
19. Steve Reich & Musicians - Come Out
20. Vladislav Delay - Lumi

Joker - Solid State (320k MP3)

You probably know this track well as it's been around a while and was featured in Starkey recent mix CD for the Lo Dubs label. I guess it's not getting a proper release as Joker recently posted it for free on the Dubstep Forum.

Check it out below. Classic Joker.

Various Production Mix

Finally some decent length mixes this week, the first is an awesome dubstep mix from Various Production. You never know what you're going to get with these guys and this mix is no different. Although being around since pretty much the start of dubstep, VP seem to come across as outsiders, maybe because they have an edginess to their tunes that's not present in most of the dancefloor orientated dubstep coming out of the UK. And also because their first album had a few tracks that were just vocal and acoustic guitar, something you wouldn't find on a Benga album that's for sure...

Highlights include the synth heaven of Starman and the insane Drink It featuring MC Vex. And the vocal track near the end is MC Vex also, not Mike Skinner...

Various Production – ‘Nothing’
Various Production – ‘Starman’
Unknown – ‘Untitled’
Various Production feat Mc Vex – ‘Drink it’
Various Production – ‘Mug’
Gun Jack – ‘Ghetto Blaster’
Various Production – ‘Composite’
Modeselektor – ‘Black Block’ [Rustie Remix]
Various Production Feat Mc Vex – ‘Dan’s Time’
Various Production – ‘Untitled’

FaltyDL in the Mix

First set of the night for Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 13th of May 2009. I was excited about this mix as I'm always interested in the artists Planet Mu chooses to sign. You never really know what you're in for. The first track of the mix is absolutely killer. You may remember Jaime Vex'd closing with it in the mix I posted by him a whiles back.

The album comes out on the 8th of June on Planet Mu. I'll definitely be making the purchase.

FaltyDL – ‘Paradise Lost’ (Planet Mu)
FaltyDL – ‘Encompass’ (Planet Mu)

PANTyRAiD in the Mix

More Glitch Mob madness this time from side-project PANTyRAiD. Way more dubstep influenced than the jaw-dropping Boreta mix from last week, but of course being American dubstep there's a heavy hiphop and electro influence. It's almost worth downloading this just to hear the first drop 39 seconds in. Make sure you turn it up LOUD.

PANTyRAiD – ‘Upset / Beba Mashup’ with Lil John Acapella
PANTyRAiD – ‘Crunkalicious’
PANTyRAiD – ‘Worship the Sun’
PANTyRAiD – ‘Headcase’ with Ray Cash ‘Sex Appeal’ Acapella

Boreta (from The Glitch Mob) in the Mix

First mix of the Mary Anne Hobbs show from the 6th of May, and I think the best. Boreta from The Glitch Mob just kills it. I won't bullshit on (I saved that for Dorian Concept) but I will demand you download this mix. The last track is fucking epic.

EPROM in the Mix

The second mix of the night, EPROM delivers an awesome mix of glitchy hiphop and synth heavy dubstep sounds. This guy really reminds me of Zomby but in a very good way. Never heard of him before last night but I think I'm going to keep a close eye on him now. Really solid beats.

EPROM – ‘Never’ (Surefire)
EPROM – ‘Ribcracker’ (Dub)
EPROM – ‘Mr. Wobbles’ (Dub)
EPROM – ‘Humanoid’ (Dub)

Dorian Concept in the Mix

I first saw Dorian Concept at the St Jerome's Laneway festival earlier this year. I was watching the band No Age when I left to get more beer. On my way back I thought I'd check out a minute of Dorian Concept as I was planning to go to his sideshow the following week. A minute is all it took. When mobiles weren't answered I ran back through the No Age crowd and grabbed my mates. Fuck this shit I said, you gotta come see Dorian Concept. It's not often you see a really captivating live electronic performer but the way he was attacking his synth was just great to watch. I managed to get one video. Check it out at Flikr.

Dorian Concept's music is absolutely buzzing. Old school and shiny new at the same time, it's bass music for an outdoor summer party.

I got his debut album in the mail last week and it doesn't disappoint. 10 tracks of blissed out synthy mayhem. None of the tracks in the mix are on the album so make sure you check out both.

Ritornell – ‘Golden Solitude’ [Dimlite Rework-Outro] (Karaoke Kalk)
Zanshin – ‘Shadoubt Shaps’ (White)
Dorian Concept – ‘Upside Downslide’ (White)
Dorian Concept – ‘After Words’ (White)
Dorian Concept – ‘Greenish Things’ (White)
Dorian Concept – ‘Trilingual Dance Sexperience’ (Affine Records)
Dorian Concept – ‘Pong Ping Song’ (White)
Dorian Concept – ‘F*#king Jazz Outro‘

The Glitch Mob

The latest Mary Anne Hobbs show has just finished airing and I'll have the mixes cut out and uploaded soon but in the meantime, check out this shit.
One half of The Glitch Mob is responsible for one of this week’s mixes so before I post that, I need to point you to the mix that got me loving these guys. 12 tracks and a 56 minute run-time sounds pretty standard for a mix but trust me, this is epic. A wonderful colourful romp through the world of glitchy instrumental hiphop.

1. Ooah "Tuesday Again" (Interchill Records)
2. edIT "Straight Heat" (Alpha Pup Records)
3. Boreta & Eprom "The Good, The Bad, The Squishy" (Unreleased)

Boxcutter

This is the Boxcutter mix from the 11th of March. The link has been around the net for a while so if you're a Boxcutter fan you probably already have it. I decided to post it anyway as the album he's promoting in this mix arrived in the mail to me on Friday and it's left me breathless. Surpassing his first two albums by far, this is a new benchmark for electronic music.

So download the mix if you haven't already, but whatever you do buy the album! It's easily going to be one of my favourites of the year.

The mix:

Boxcutter – ‘Arcadia 202’
Boxcutter – ‘Arecibo Message’
Boxcutter – ‘Sidereal Day’
Boxcutter – ‘Earth is my Spaceship’ [Otherside Remix]
Boxcutter – ‘Sidetrak’
Boxcutter – ‘Untitled’ Featuring Brian Greene
Boxcutter – ‘Arecibo Reply 1’
Boxcutter – ‘Kab 28’
Boxcutter – ‘A Cosmic Parent’

Download

One track this mix doesn't have is Mya Rave V2. A remix of a track that appeared on a Planet Mu compilation, it's gotta be the best 4/4 track I've heard in a very long time. It's worth buying the album just for it!

Silkie in the Mix

Really solid dubstep set from Silkie. Deep while staying dancefloor and not getting too minimal and wanky, the remix of Filth is a definite highlight. Very recommended.

Silkie – ‘Beauty’ (Deep Medi)
Silkie – ‘Head Butt Da Deck’ (Deep Medi)
Silkie – ‘Turvy’ (Deep Medi)
Silkie – ‘Techno 22 (Deep Medi)
Silkie – ‘Horizon’ (Deep Medi)

TRG on BBC Radio 1's Rob Da Bank and Friends, 20th of April 2009

If you find that lately you've been spending more time listening to the music dubstep spawned rather than dubstep itself, then this is the mix to remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Dark and atmospheric but still really accessible, this is cheese-free dancefloor dubstep at its best.

Track highlights include Clubroot, one of my favourite new producers, also the TRG track that closes the mix, but the biggest tune here is by Joker & Ginz. After thrashing Do It / Psychedelic Runway on my mp3 player all week, I'm just staggered at the amount of talent this kid has.

Clubroot – ‘Low Pressure Zone’ (Lo Dubs)
Madd – ‘I Know It's U’ (White)
Kito ft. Reija Lee – ‘LFO’ (Disfigured Dubs)
TRG – ‘Just Me’ (White)

Legion Of Two - Palace Dub (Demo/Edit)

This is a Legion Of Two track that appeared on a compliation that coincided with the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival. I can so feel myself moving into fanboi status with these guys. The tracks are really heavy yet they still have this amazing forward momentum to them. I can see myself loving these guys either from a massive rig on the dancefloor or from a boombox in some public-park-beer-drinking session. Perfect.

Legion Of Two in the Mix

"A new project from Alan O'Boyle and David Lacey pits electronics against live drums and percussion for a dark, dense and noisy dirge. Huge basslines, slow pounding drums and feedback dominate. Industrial, dub and metal influences are shredded through old guitar pedals and cheap reverbs and reassembled into a driving and melodic force."
Not a bad way to start a press release.

When the world of electronic music dabbles in metal it usually turns out something like Drumcorps or Bong Ra's Grindkrusher; fast metal riffs over fast jungle/breakcore beats. It's fun when you first listen, but the format starts to wear thin pretty quickly. Supposedly what makes that music "metal" is the riffs, but the fact the whole thing is made by someone sitting at a PC is very un-metal - meaning you could see the guitars as being just another sound on a breakcore track.
So what happens when you turn the whole thing on its head? Throw out the drum machine and the guitars and what do you get? Legion Of Two. And they are metal.
The live drums are what is missing from all the sampled electro-metal out there, it gives the whole thing a massive weight which is what heavy fucking metal is all about. With bands like Sunn showing us you can be metal without picking up a guitar (see the video a few posts back) groups like Legion Of Two, while being grounded in the electronic scene (they're signed to Planet Mu), could end up finally making the electronic-metal album fans of both genres deserve.

More of a showcase than a mix, the remix of one of my favourite Sunken Foal tracks was a very pleasant surprise. Enjoy.

Intro – ‘Starbound’

Jamie Vex'd LuckyMe Mixtape

This is the best mix I've heard in a long, long time. It's not new so you might have heard it but if not, do not dawdle. Vex'd were always a powerhouse but what Jamie's doing on his own is something very special. In a time when it's very easy to just copy what's going on, Jamie Vex'd seems to be just carving his own path. Keep an ear out for his original tunes in this mix. Really exciting stuff. Just as good is his track selection. Chucking in a Tim Hecker tune is just perfect! Enjoy.

Gravious Live on FBi 94.5

Here's a live set (using Ableton) that Gravious did for FBi radio when he was out here recently. Really nice chilled dubstep and quite different from his promo mix that I posted last month.

Starkey and MC Halfcast on FBi 6th of March 2009

Here's the set Starkey did for FBi back in March. Highlights of the mix are the Jamie Vex'd remix of Miracles and the fucking awesome new Starkey tune Murderous Words. At the start of the mix MC Halfcast was using a desk mic like what the radio announcers use, meaning it was killing the sound coming through the mixer. They sorted themselves pretty quickly though so it only affects the first few tunes. Enjoy.

Moog Ceremony

Bass music in it's purist form. Hail the Sunn.

Headhunter - Juke

When Headhunter was here recently we took him to the local community radio station FBi. Instead of his usual deep, deep dubstep he went completely the other way and played a set of Juke music. Coming out of Chicago, Juke is categorized by its fast beats, minimal structure and dirty, dirty lyrics. I'd never heard it before and my first thought was "DJ Godfather crossed with Spank Rock". It's not like anything else on this blog but it's fresh and exciting but if you hate the music, you should at least get a giggle from the vocals. Fuck me in my face, indeed!

Tracklist pulled from the FBi website:

Keep On Jukin
Freekin Me On The Flo DJ Spinn
BeetleJuke Leatherface
That Booty DJ Spinn
King Kong Leatherface
What You Workin Wit DJ Spinn
Put Yo Mouth On Me DJ Spinn
