plumbeous bubbles
myself and pete pitch dropped our loads when we first heard this 813 track. a stonker in every sense of the word ‘plumbeous bubbles’ is nothing short of the f*cking jam. no messing. those chopped up vocals in in the final furlong? blimey.
potholes in my blog premiered the bubbles today - go check that out now, or stream below. the ‘spectrum riff ep’ officially drops on...

time wharp - later.rmx
i’ve had this one bookmarked for well over a week; as i have been feeling alot of time wharps stuff. i’ve never actually heard of any of the peeps on remix duties here, bar divine interface, which makes for an even more pleasant suprise when the quality is high. beat based, synthy niceness. some for the mind, some for the dancefloor.
well worth you checking his grn ep and the...

drake - over my dead body (star slinger remix)
against my better judgement i’ve been totally sucked into this new drake album, it’s smooth in most of the right places and the not so ‘swoony schmoozy’ tracks are all killer.
this star slinger remix takes one of those ‘smooth in the right places’ tracks, the album opener, and, keeping the vocal intact, injects some pace. it’s a winner for me. one...

jonwayne - dublab / pledge show
terrible quality on the recording but it’s still well worth peeping this 35 minute session from jonwayne. all unreleased beats made on his sp404. i say that like i know what an sp404 is, i actually have no idea. frankly i don’t need to know; whatever it was made on there is some crazy good stuff in here.
did i mention you should come play donky pitch jon?

Peverelist
Whilst in the middle of a slightly blunted listening of the new Scuba dj kicks mix I was caught off guard by a recent Peverelist cut that had so far gone unnoticed by me (‘Sun Dance’), so enamoured with it’s driving heads down vibe, swirling synths and tense percussion I immediately dug out every Pev record I could find from my collection and reacquainted myself.
For me Peverelist’s music...

sven swift - super feelers compilation
quite a few of these tracks are available elsewhere, but this comp does a sterling job of bringing them all together under one great listen. the stephen farris flip of panda bear is particularly special.
there’s definitely too many ‘beat’ comps out there at the moment, but this one’s well worth a peep.

Essential Dabrye
Just got through reading Fact’s take on Dabrye, one of the most talented and important beat makers of recent musical history. As far as beats/instrumental hip hop/etc (not getting into that one here!) goes, he is up there with Jneiro Jarel as one of the relatively unsung fathers of the movement. While we’re still waiting for new material from Dabrye, this article is a good reminder of...
