Once was a time that nearly every exciting electronic release would find it's way to our inboxes weeks, months or sometimes even years in advance. Seems we haven't been quite as in favour of late though, as now we're impatiently waiting like kids at Christmas for 3 albums that will be dropping on 2nd June.

Taylor McFerrin - Early Riser

We already have the 3 tasty morsels already been offered up but we are very much looking forwards to the rest of this debut from the latest member of Flying Lotus' esteemed Brainfeeder family. Guests on the album include Robert Glasper, Thundercat, RYAT and Taylor's poppa, Bobby McFerrin.

Throwing Snow - Mosaic

After a string of EPs that have all found a solid place on our players, this is another stunning debut album. Ross Tones seems to be making himself right at home over at Fabric offshoot label, Houndstooth and what a great place to live.

Moody Good - Moody Good

As gash as you might think something on both OWSLA and MTA Records might be, this sounds like it's actually going to be brilliant. Moody Good used to be in 16bit but now seems to be making... well, it's on our blog so you should probably be able to figure it out. If not then listen to a couple of choice cuts below.

Chrome Kids Radio Show (Mar - April 2013) by Chrome Kids on Mixcloud

Jesse Boykins III & MeLo-X - Broken Wings / Low Leaf - Paradise II / KRTS feat. Jon Hairston - Something New / Stubborn Heart - Starting Block (Something New Remix) / Capeface - Drownin / A. Chal - Roses On Your Silhouette / Tropics - Popup Cinema / Staygold featuring Style Of Eye and Pow - Wallpaper (Video) / The xx - Fiction (Druid Cloak Blood Magick Remix) / Julien Mier - When Will They Wake Up? (Jauge Remix) / Chris Malinchak - So Good To Me / My Dry Wet Mess - Clappin' Ears / Ossie feat Tilz - Ignore (Yes I Did)

Okay we know you're all still waiting for the new blog and getting your teeth into some proper posts but we'd like to think the Radio Show is a healthy snack in the meantime. Here's the latest with new tunes from: Alby Daniels, Pair Of Arrows, Torus, John Talabot, Sun Glitters, Monky, Evian Christ and many more.

So many tunes, so little time. Was going to put these up yesterday as a tribute to Remix Sunday from the Palm's Out blog which I have sorely missed, until I realised 2 things. One - Remix Sunday is alive and well and in no need of a tribute and Two - it was Monday and I was a day late. Luckily most of these guys should need little to no introduction to our regulars so let's not waste time talking, get downloading!

In the ever murky marriage of art, music and corporate sponsorship it has to be said one company are showing themselves to be remarkably in tune with where the money should be going and that's Red Bull. Suddenly their Red Bull Music Academy seems to be everywhere: music workshops with some of the industry's top names; recording studios across the globe; some of the best line ups imaginable in their live events; and even free daily papers in London. There's a whole conversation that needs to be had regarding this and we'd love to hear your thoughts but for now we can't help but give a mention to their upcoming event with Brainfeeder next Wednesday. The line up is ridiculous.

Flying Lotus (Brainfeeder, Warp, Los Angeles)
Kode9 (Hyperdub, London)
The Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder, Low End Theory, Los Angeles)
Martyn (3024, Washington DC)
Dorian Concept (Kindred Spirits, Vienna)
Dimlite (Now-Again, Bern)
Daedelus (Brainfeeder, Ninja Tune, Los Angeles)
Nosaj Thing (Brainfeeder, Alpha Pup, Los Angeles)
TOKiMONSTA (Brainfeeder, Los Angeles)

Wednesday 10th March, 9pm–4am, Tickets: £12,50.
Fabric, 77a Charterhouse Street, London, EC1M 3HN

This should really be experienced live but just incase (like us who shall be making do with Nosaj Thing at Start The Bus in Bristol on Tuesday) you can't make it the great thing about these events is they're all recorded for RBMA Radio. There's absolutely loads of incredible music on there, right now we're listening back to their Culture Clash event with a Sound System show down between Soul II Soul, Trojan Soundsystem, DMZ (Digital Mystikz and Loefah) and Metalheadz (Goldie & Co) all hosted by Don Letts (who drops a killer special of Riot Music). Here's the links to each part of the night.

Part 1: The Warm-Up

Part 2: The Selection Round

Part 3: Entertainment Round

Part 4: Mixed-Up Styles Round

Part 5: Final Round - The Decider


We're still waiting for them to upload the set we caught from Andreya Triana in Bristol at the weekend. The new Ninja Tune signee performed a stunning version of the classic Eurythmics track Sweet Dreams and her live version of Tea Leaf Dancers (the track she recorded with Flying Lotus) was just beautiful. Her solo Sonar performance from 2007 is available to listen to here but it's without live band and not quite as confident as the Bristol show. Still worth a listen mind. Also, her new single drops April 5th, here's a little taster...

Daedelus "Righteous Fists of Harmony" from DestroyRockMusic Inc. on Vimeo.

We've been pretty much locked in our own zome lately and paying far too little attention to the world around us, which means we missed these Flying Lotus remixes til just now, but it would be wrong not to blog just incase there's any of you guys in the same boat. Robo Tussin', FlyLo's overhaul of Lil Wayne's A Milli has been round since the summer but here it's also accompanied with the excellent instrumental for all those Weezy haters out there. The same is true of the other track, a remix of I Feel like Dying also from Mr Carter, although the vocal version itself is pretty subtle as it is.

Yours Truly Presents: Nosaj Thing from Yours Truly on Vimeo.

First up is a new mix from the fellas over at the Rub A Dub Dub site who were kind enough to host pur mix earlier in the week. Far from being a simple scratchy back situation though this is a full phat selection from a truly dope blog blended with love from Decibel, one of the residents over there and deserves to be pumped at the highest available volume. If you're car only has a shitty system, this is the one time when it is morally right to go steal another one. Second is an excellent mini mix that current Bass blog golden boy George Lenton recorded for Bobby Friction's show on the BBC Asian Network which also has a real short snippet from his new remix for our boy Pete Lawrie which is rather huge too. Catch Mr Lenton live on 28th October in Original Mash @ The Lab, Bristol or 18th November & 16th December in SOME @ The Den, London; lastly is a slice of low-fi riding bleep stomping future funk and Hip-hop from Alex B which he recorded for the Brainfeeder crew. Full of his own productions and snuggles in nicely next to the rest of the family over there.

Have to give major props to (The Mother Fuckin') Gaslamp Killer for being one of the most animated DJs we've seen drop a Dubstep set yet. Not to mention the fact that it was also one of the heaviest selections, including an exclusive new track Dub from Joker that meant he destroyed a Bristol dancefloor, pretty much using their own weapons against them.

Here's a new track from his forthcoming EP My Troubled Mind, dropping August 4th on Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label. Something evil dug up from the haunted house of Hip-hop.

(YSI) Gaslamp Killer - Anything Worse / alt link

Support on the night came from Bristol based collective Vertebrae, a live Hip-hopesque crew who have been around for a while in some kind of form but who now seem to be made up of Awkward, Ben One and DJ Rogue, a strong line up of artists who have all earned their stripes and then some.

Although they're yet to have any finished recorded product in their current configuration, here's a few links to some of their recent solo output.

(DivShare) Awkward - Irons Podcast Vol One

Including new and exclusive material from the likes of Open Mike Eagle, Crunc Tesla, Lyrics Born and Awol One including tracks from Awkward's forthcoming Grand Prize LP


If you're feeling the Gaslamp Killer track we posted then you should most definitely appreciate these tasty treats from Ben One.

Paul White has kindly hit us up with this track from his superb new album The Strange Dreams of Paul White, it's a funked up fest of haunting ethereal vocal samples, twisted synths and driving Dillafied beats.

Check out and pick up a copy of the album (inc the handmade pillowcase CD version) over at his website you can also get copies of his first two singles for free.

You might have already caught the track on Paul's Mix for Mary Anne Hobbs back in January (which you can grab here) or on this fantastic mix from Take aka Sweatson Klank which was posted up on the Brainfeeder website recently. An expertly navigated journey through the worlds of dubbed out 2Step, off-key digitally mutated Hip-hop and rather surreal Jazz Psyche.

And if you're likin' this then be sure to check out some other mixes from one of the other memebers of the Brainfeeder family, Martyn. There's 3 mixes that he's crafted for various radio shows up on his 3024 World blog at the moment, which anyone who loves the blissfully intense beats on his Great Lengths album as much as we do will most definitely appreciate and anyone who hasn't yet gone out and bought a copy will no doubt be inspired to do so. Below is his mix for Gilles Peterson but you can pick all 3 up here.
