russian dream team

as far as I know pixelord coined the phrase ‘russian dream team’ a few weeks back when hud mo and doom played moscow, supported by a troop of fierce russian beatmakers, aka the ‘dream team’. if only we could run shows like that down here.

anyhow, i thought it would be nice to post a selection of tracks from said dream team including a couple by our new guy on the block, 813. i don’t think all of these guys played that party, but they’re all great. and from russia.

let’s start with pixelord, and this remix of brighton local, and all round nice chap, manni dee…

MANNI DEE - Universal Symphony (Pixelord remix) by pixelord

dowdy popped up on the radar a few weeks ago with this synthy beast

Dowdy - bastard of 80s (demo) by Dowdy

dza’s starshark is pretty darn unstoppable

and so is sunpunch by lapti to be fair

and g5 music just put out this ep by damscray which some heat on it

Sandworm by Damscray

and then there’s 813. of course i’m biased, but the ep we’re releasing from him later this year is next level, no jokes. five or six tracks backed with a slugabed remix. i’m so dam excited about it.

for now you can check these two beats… (or download this ep he did for the rad collective)

813 - Blue Mushrooms by Eight One Three  

813 - Skittles acne (old track ) by Eight One Three  

If you don’t have time to click and stream all these links then this amazing compilation by error broadcast is a great way to get to know the astounding russian beat scene.

813 - dusty bubbles

our guy in moscow released his second ep with the rad collective today, you can bag it below from their bandcamp. boogie, synths, bass; everything that makes us happy.

in other news, i know we’ve been chatting about it for time, but we finally got the masters back for 813’s ‘spectrum riff ep’ this week, so fingers crossed it’ll be in shops before the year is out. it’s sounding lovely.

813 - tinky tonky (slugabed remix)

so our fourth record, 813’s ‘spectrum riff ep’ drops in a little over four weeks. we’ve had some really dope feedback so far from the likes of brackles, skream, sweatson klank (aka take), starkey, jay scarlett, darkhouse fam, mary anne hobbs and a bunch of other kind folks. we’ll up the clips soon but for now all you have to do is swoon to this sluga remix (which is a3 on the vinyl)

813 - spectrum riff ep

check owt our next 12”, from Moscow based fireman 813. five original tracks bursting with juicy synth lines, retro drum machines and waves of thick sub bass, culminating in a sound that is one part boogie, one part hip hop, one part electro and three parts forward thinking bass music. + that slugabed remix

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 vinyl in just under two weeks. for those of you that can’t wait, we’ll be selling it upfront from our bandcamp page early next week.
