Thank you Mary Anne. From the Venetian Snares and Bong-Ra Breezeblock mixes I used to get from Soulseek, to editing my first ever mix (Goth-Trad, 20 Feb 2008) to having almost my entire musical outlook changed by one Hudson Mohawke (30 July 2008), your radio show has been a constant source of amazing music. Sure the mixes are short (I mean 15 minutes sometimes?!) but that’s kind of the point. These mixes are showcases. And at an average length of 30 minutes we get nothing but balls out bass and excitement. Perfect for during a stroll or on public transport, we love you for providing a platform for this each and every week. Your unrelenting excitement for new music pretty much bucks the trend for radio hosts. To me you weren’t a Radio 1 DJ, you were a fan, just like the people who tune in every single week. Thanks again and we hope to see you in Australia soon, playing at VOID of course!

Digital Mystikz mix

I know I’m shit at updating this blog but I’ve seriously been wanting to get this on here sooner but Mediafire has been knackered. But it’s back and this is Digital Mystikz on Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental, 2nd of September 2010.

Really, it’s 2010. I can’t add to the Digital Mystikz mythos, and anyway, if you’re here you’ll know that Mala and his Mystikz pretty much invented dubstep - and how fitting is for them to appear on one of Mary Anne’s final shows.

The mix is classic Digital Mystikz, deep, dark and slow, but with enough smoky dub to keep things from getting too overwhelming. It’s not as good as their recent masterpiece album, Return II Space but then, that’s a masterpiece. Still a cracking mix from the OGs of the genre and another great send-off for Mary Anne.

Grace Jones — Love You To Life – Digital Mystikz Remix
Digital Mystikz — Education
Digital Mystikz — Marduk
Digital Mystikz — Eyez
Digital Mystikz — Emergency
Digital Mystikz — 2 Much Chat
Digital Mystikz — Runway Andreya Triana — Town Called Ob – Digital Mystikz Remix
Digital Mystikz — Enter
Digital Mystikz — Animal
Digital Mystikz — Enter Dimensions
Digital Mystikz — Horrid Henry

Download

N.B. I know the DM album and this mix is just Mala on his own, but I still chose to refer to him/them in the plural for this post. It just sounds better.







This is from what is still one of my favourite dubstep gigs of all time. Mala on a beer fuelled Thursday night at the shithole Abercrombie Hotel in March 2007. The sheer bass weight was amazing and really proved his theory of producing tracks especially for a massive system. That power you don't get on CD/LP. Check out Mark P grabbing his nuts(?!) Proof how good it was. Photo: James Brickwood.

DJ Joker Ghetto Clang guest mix

Joker brings his epic grimestep sound back to Mary Anne Hobbs - From the 19th of August, 2010.

No tracklist this time but if you know Joker you know to expect soaring synths, throwbacks to electro-era hiphop and the kind of digital flourishes you’d expect to hear on a hard trance record. Joker also takes his 80s obsession a step further here by dropping a tune from Sonic the Hedgehog! It must be noted that I didn’t know it was from Sonic. I was playing the mix at work when a guy I work with pointed it out. I’m not saying I’m not a geek, I was just always a NES lad.

Shackleton's Special Farewell Mix for Mary Anne

With Mary Anne’s tenure at the BBC coming to a close the big names have started appearing and to my mind you can’t get much better than Shackleton. One of my favourite artists from any genre, Shackleton is one of the only people still making bass music that doesn’t sound like anyone else. Just download it and let the music tell you the rest…

Shackleton & Vengeance Tenfold — Untitled
Shackleton — Stripped II
Shackleton — Bottles
Shackleton — Death Is Not Final Version

Trains and Holidays - A Mixtape by Broken Chip

Back from a short break (ahem) we have our second exclusive mix! This time it’s from Broken Chip and it seems like another exercise in squeezing in as many as my favourite artists as possible.

2. Odd Nosdam - Clouded (0.35min)
3. Bibio - Cherry Blossom Road (3.03min)

Flying Lotus Volcano Refugee Party Mix

Final set from the April 29 show is from the man of the hour himself, Flying Lotus. No intros needed, and no track list needed either apparently. The mix is pretty different to the album, which if you don't have by now you are insane. That is all.

Gentleforce Mix Tape: Part 1 - Walking Into Sunrise

Ever since I started this blog I've been keen on the idea of getting an original mix on here. Not just radio edits and Void promo mixes but a proper original mix made just for this blog. With the release of the debut album by Sydney's Gentleforce I saw my opportunity and fired up the email. What came back far surpassed my expectations. The tracklist is just perfect. All time favourites like Oren Ambarchi and Cloudland Canyon sit alongside recent obsessions like Oneothrix Point Never. And of course the best band in the world, Boris. All these tracks crammed into 40 minutes creates a single beautiful piece you can't afford not to download.

2. Gentleforce - Drifting By (0.40min)
3. Oren Ambarchi - Highway Of Diamonds (1.30min)

After you listen make sure you go to the Feral Media website and buy the album. Easily one of my favourites of the year and a must have for anyone into electronic music.

Rudi Zygadlo - Exlusive mix for Electronic Explorations

This is a mix Rudi Zygadlo did for the website Electronic Explorations back in Feb. I don't know how to take this guy. His MAH mix ended up being my favourite of the year, yet it contains wobble! And now he's doing mash-ups! It should be cheesy but somehow it's not. That being said this mix is not for everyone. And if you're looking for the traditional two-turntables-and-a-mixer type mix, then look elsewhere. This is a perfect example of what people should be doing when using their computers to compile a mix. Here's the man himself from the EE website:

“What started out as a mix soon turned into a whole bunch of home-made mashes, set out in a series of chapters and separated by incidental random instrument stabs, plucks and coughs. There are only a few tunes on there that remain unadulterated.

So for the most part, unlikely combinations, accapellas and classical loops, not consecutive songs” Mr Zygadlo

(01) – Milanese – Caramel Cognac // Joanna Newsom – Cosmia
(02) – Frank Zappa – Night School
(03) – Loops Haunt – Huarache // Chrome Hoof – Leave the Ruined Husk // David Byrne & Brian Eno – The Jezebel Spirit // Rudi Zygadlo – Layman’s Requiem
(04) – Mr Oizo – Z // Keith Jarrett – Shostakovish Prelude in Eminor
(05) – Aphex Twin – Taking Control // Rudi Zygadlo – Act I // Alarm Will Sound – Arhythmia Track 9
(06) – Dizzie Rascal – Stand Up Tall // Spartan Lover – Outo Vouto // Alban Berg Quartet – Andante Con Moto from Franz Schubert’s String Quartet no. 14
(07) – Volcano! – Africa just wants to have fun
(08) – Rudi Zygadlo – Untitled
(09) – Animal Collective – My Girls // Omarion – O // Cinematic Orchestra – Night of the Iguana
(10) – Belcea Quartet – Allegro from Leos Janacek’s String Quartet no. 2 // The Bad Plus – Tom Sawyer (Rush Cover) // The Tuss – Synthacon 9 // Captain Beefheart – I’m a Bandleader
(11) – Slugabed – Skyfire
(12) – Rudi Zygadlo – We flew away on a Pink Pegasus
(13) – Rudi Zygadlo – Filthy logic I // Tears for Fears – Shout
(14) – Rudi Zygadlo – Filthy Logic II
(15) – Eero Joahannes – We could be Skweeeroes
(16) – Eero Joahaness – Finnrexin // 808 State – Flow coma (AFX remix) // Rudi Zygadlo – Slip // Sebastien Tellier – L’Amour et La Violence
(17) – Rudi Zygadlo – Song of Praise

(When I first saw the tracklist I lost my shit. Cosmia is one of my favourite songs and over Milanese? Killer.)

Wait til we get to Las Vegas...

Ikonika mix

Stunning mix by Ikonika from Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 1st of April, 2010.

I wasn't too excited by the thought of this as I've already thrashed her album since it came out. I was wrong. Hearing the best songs from it smashed together like this makes for a very exciting 16 minutes. Download the mix then go and get the album. In my opinion it's one of the best long players to come out of the post-dubstep explosion.

Ikonika — They Are All Losing The War – Hyperdub
Ikonika — Heston – Hyperdub
Ikonika — Look (Final Boss Stage) – Hyperdub
Ikonika — Idiot – Hyperdub
Ikonika — Video Delays – Hyperdub
The Brown Acid — Bastard Kids (Ikonika Remix) – East Records
Ikonika — Psoriasis – Hyperdub

Vex'd mix

Vex'd preview their new album Cloud Seed on Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 11th of March, 2010.

Along with Distance, Vex'd were the first producers that fully showed me the potential of dubstep. Their amazing album Degenerate, although heavier than most, pretty much followed the sparse DMZ/Deep Medi style of the time. With Cloud Seed they're finally bringing their take on dubstep phase 2, when the word started to mean anything slow and full of bass. If they had released these tunes back when they were written, they would have blown the competition out of the water. An absolutely killer mix and a must for anyone into heavy music.

Vex’d – Take Time Out (feat. Warrior Queen)
Plaid – Bar Kimura (Vex’d remix)
Vex’d – Out Of The Hills
Vex’d – Slug Trawl Depths
Vex’d – Shinju Bridge

Shlohmo mix

I find some of this hip hop going around, this so-called LA Sound, can be a bit soft and weak sometimes... Shlohmo must have read my mind. Instrumental hip hop with a much needed dose of distortion. It does stray into dubstep territory but doesn't miss a beat. The electric fuzz layering the music works perfectly with whatever beats he's throwing behind it. Another week, another new favourite for the year. Get on it.

From Mary Anne Hobbs Experimental 28th of January, 2010.

1. Shlohmo — Tomato Squeeze Shlohmo Remix
2. Shlohmo — Glue Stick
3. Shlohmo — VOR/oFF
4. Shlohmo — Brown Note Research

Emika mix

From the 21st of January comes the first truly great MAH Experimental mix of the year. Emika's first ever mix apparently and the main thing that stands out is the thick atmosphere that punctuates it. This might have something to do with the fact that Emika is a sound designer - or some such profession. If you're into thick dark sounds with no "evil" in sight then make sure you check this.

Emika is signed to Ninja Tune which according to this track list, has become plural..

1. Emika — Drop The Other (Scuba’s Vulpine Mix) Ninja Tunes

Burnkane Mix for MUSICBOX™ / Diveristy FM

I discovered this guy from listening to the samples on the Planet Mu website and I was instantly impressed with the production and his ability to get something totally new from the dubstep template - it's still spawning so many awesome sounds! I bought the recordmp3 but only listened to it a few times. Listening the other day I was wondering how his other stuff was going to sound. So I went and found this mix. Not the most interesting story but the result is you lot getting some more music.
