If you still pay any vague semblance of attention to what we put up on this blog, here is a big live mix i just did combining a lot (but not all) of whats been cookin'. Theres a range of styles, including beats, trap, dub[step] and some wonky/glitch/2-step/grime etc. from around world. Check it out yaow
You, if you are reading this blog, probably know about Low End Theory, the wednesday night club night at the Airliner in LA. Low End is pretty much universally acknowledged as the epicenter of the beat music scene and forward-thinking electronic music in general. And, if you know low end theory, you know that every so often, they put out a podcast. This is the closest you can come to immersing yourself in the very special Low End aesthetic without being there yourself on a packed, sweaty, bass-y, glorious wednesday night. the only thing missing is the tremendous array of subs... unless you have a tremendous array of subs to bump this shit on.
Podcast number 20: D-Styles and TOKiMONSTA. D-Styles' set takes up the majority of the podcast, and he frickin ROCKS this. The beats are choice of choice, including some Odd Future joints that he takes and drops in with Gucci Mane a capellas and all sorts of other things. Mono/Poly's in there, TOKi is in there, all manner of wubs and womps and booms.... D-Styles put together a woofer-rattling set that is pretty much mindblowing. TOKiMONSTA's set is shorter, but still packs a pretty serious punch. Somewhat more laid-back, TOKi's set includes (obviously) a lot of her own beats, which lends it a pretty specific sound thats hard to describe but complements D-Styles' set very nicely.
The best part? ITS FREE, guys! Check the link below. Let D-Styles and TOKi blow your mind. Use good headphones or speakers, and let 'er rip.
Those wonderful people at Adult Swim along with Scion A/V have released another compilation of unreleased/rare/baddass music from the tv series. The compilation includes people like SBTRKT, Starkey, Burial, Kode9 and other bass/garage/2-step/dubstep/post-dubstep type artists. 18 tracks in all, and completely free for download HERE. I highly recommend it to you. I'm only now beginning to get into garage/2-step/UK dance stuff, and this comp has some excellent tunes along those lines. I mean, this SBTRKT trk, for example (what i did there):
I got this track on XL8R in April, and I rediscovered it latey and have been listening to it a lot. It's a jukey, hyperactive take on a Lil Scrappy track, and it turns out that mid-oughts Atlanta crunk translates pretty well into some double-time dancefloor swag. All hail Kaptain Cadillac.
One to Love - Rain Dog Another XLR8R gem, this time from Rain Dog. Absolutely beautiful track, reminds me of Geotic, but with some chopped-up post-dubstep in the mix. Go pay whatever you want to download his EP, it's friggin gorgeous.
And here's some OG Ghettotech for yo ass. Detroit dance music in the 90's was a strange and beautiful thing.
As you probably gleaned, the moral of this post is that you should probably read XLR8R. They consistently post the most amazing, diverse, and forward thinking sounds in electronic music today, and we love them here at CC. So go check their site out. SOOOOO much free shit.
