Two excellent takes on the Deekline & Wizard track Back Up (Love For The Music) courtesy of Svetlana Industries. Head over to Lowriders Collective for more info.

First up is a titan clash between Mochipet and Kraddy as the Glitch Mobster takes on a track from the Glitch Godzilla's Master P on Atari album. He's not the only one either, Master P On Atari Transformed Vol. 1 which is out now on Daly City Records also features the likes of Restiform Bodies, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Sub Swara.

And this mosh stomping monster of a track with occasional uzi drum fire and the kind of violent guitar stabs that could seriously puncture your speakers, courtesy of from HavocNdeeD who's single Headspin is due to drop on Play Me Records in the next couple of weeks.

"Hey look down there, hear the Pretty Lights"

You mean look up there and see the pretty lights right?

Daly City explores something of a deeper sensitive side to their soul with their new signing, London producer MusSck. Still keeping it glitchy and in the realm of Hip-hop's cyborg reconstruction, this album is more subtle then previous label releases, conjuring up open rolling virtual plains to wander through. Playful yet emotional, there appears to be a fairly comprehensible story being told from track to track and chapter to chapter, let's hope there's many more volumes to come.

You can buy The Land Of Animation now here, but to give you a taster here's one of the tracks plus a promo mix to check out.

We're already fans of ProF's laid back productions here at Chrome Kids but think this has to be our favourite so far. It's sundown at the beach meets sunrise on Mars, a beautiful liquid crunching digital Hip-hop funk fest.

The Daly City don of digitally crunked up dirt and devastation, Mochipet, is back with a new album that's more raw to the core than anything that's come before.

Where as Microphonepet was largely about big beats for the guests to ride on and to be honest Bunnies & Muffins pretty much snuck past us, Master P On Atari is all about gargantuan beats that are so in your face it would be impossible to ignore. They've literally taken over and they're pissed off, ready to trample buildings and fling trucks about. The sound is probably best described by taking random words from the track titles, such as: Hyphy; Turbo; Sumo; Robo; Crunk; Bass; Ghetto; Godzilla; and straight up Full Frontal Face Melt.

Master P On Atari is out July 4th on Daly City. Here's a track from the album...

Plus if like us you need to play catch up slightly, here's a track from the Bunnies & Muffins album, featuring the delightfully dapper genius of Daedelus.

A mini mix of sub bass heavy, glitchy Hip-hop grinders here for you courtesy of Chip Chop, a live production and percussion duo made up of Graintable from Portland (OR) and AD/AM out of Lake Tahoe (CA). 10 tracks of filthiness that does kind of feel like one long and rather intense 20 minute tune, but not necessarily in a tedious way.

(YSI) Chip Chop Mini Mix / alt link

Tracklist:

00:00 - The Edinburgh
03:00 - Untitled & Unfinished
04:08 - Untitled & Unfinished
05:58 - Puking Rainbows
08:20 - Untitled & Unfinished
09:10 - Los Gorditos
13:03 - Solid Gold Nunchucks
16:00 - FPFTF
18:27 - Untitled & Unfinished
19:27 - Launch Blank

The duo are set to be featured on this summer's Motion Sickness compilation from the fantastic Run Riot Records. So if you're feeling this keep an ear out for that one.


Also on a similar tip, we have been absolutely killing a track called Beba, which is the new single from PANTyRAID (aka Glitch Mob's Ooah and West Coast compadre Marty Party) dropping on Marine Parade at the end of next month, it's B Side Get The Money is also fastly growing on us. Both of them are a touch more Dubstep then the Glitch Mob material but Beba still retains those Crunk-ish overtones, helped even further on this mini mix that featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' show a couple of weeks back by fusing it with a Lil Jon accapella.

Great experimental Hip-hop set here from INSIDEaMIND. Which was first broadcast on Toronto's Student Radio, CIUT as part of the city's Nuit Blanche Art Festival. The majority of the records used came from the station's basement collection and were sourced only the day before. Out of these INSIDEaMIND have created a fantastically tripped out soundscape where epic distorted Rock guitar journeys meet firing drum shots and scratched up jazz horns. Thanks to ProF for schooling us on these guys.

Not sure quite when it dropped, but just been made aware of this free album from Error Broadcast Collective, an Experimental Hip-hop label who have sourced some great glitchy, minimal beats from every corner of the globe for this release and also plan a limited edition of vinyl 7''s to correspond.

You can download the whole album in high quality MP3 or FLAC files here, which we highly recommend but there's also a few of our choice cuts below.

We've been waiting for this mixtape even before we knew it existed and our high pre-destined expectations have not fallen short by a millimeter, this is bangin'! Fully stacked up with digi Dubbed out Glitched up Phat beats of the highest order, anyone who knows and loves Robot Koch's own productions, some of which show up here will not be disappointed, and those who don't, it's time to get your learn on.

Senseless Records just kicked in the door of Chrome Mansions waving a Four-Four in the shape of their first CD project Vocals and Versions Volumes 1 & 2. The Leeds bass junkies have gathered together some of their favourite artists (and ours come to that) such as: Warrior Queen ; Foreign Beggars; Starkey; MRK1; King Cannibal; Crunc Tesla; and Rekordah to add a bit of extra spice to their already flavoursome in-house vocal productions from Sarantis, DeVille, Sasquatch and Ghosttown, that are camped mainly within the Dubstep region but spread out into the surrounding UK Bass music areas too.

(SS) Sarantis ft Warrior Queen - More than Money (Starkey RMX) (clip)

(SS) Sasquatch ft Foreign Beggars – Stay Seated (clip)

The album will be released on two separate CDs, two vinyl EPs and digital download. Disc One gets Grimey with vocals from Sick Sense Cru and the Senseless residents, Asher Don and Dialect whilst they also show off their roots in the rich Leeds Soundsystem culture (which spawned such notables as Nightmares on Wax, LFO and Iration Steppas) with guest vocal slots from YT, Oova and Iration Steppas vocalist Bunnington Judah, whilst the ladies represent superbly with Warrior Queen, Honey Brown and Portuguese emcee Violet. There’s also Brazillian Dancehall artist Jimmy Luv, and Foreign Beggars who spit fire as always on Stay Seated, which obviously works on some reverse psychology tip cos I certainly found it hard to keep my arse in the chair whilst it was playing.

Remix duties are taken up by Starkey, Kanji Kinetic, fellow Leeds Dubstep don Jack Sparrow and a Dubbed out offering from Techno legend Billy Nasty which certainly come as a pleasant suprise. .

(SS) Sarantis ft Bunnington Judah - Warzone (Billy Nasty RMX) (clip)


Warrior Queen, Jimmy Luv, Oova, Smasha from Sick Sense Cru, Asher Don and Dialect all make an appearance on CD 2 as well, joined by Sunkilla out of Martinique, Leed-ite Dancehall emcees Bongo Chilli and Urban Vox, plus Boxcar, Optimus and M.J. Zilla who pop up on the Sasquatch remix of Who’s The Leader by Brooklyn Avant-Grime proponent Crunk Tesla.

(SS) Ghosttown ft Smasha - What Goes Around Comes Around (clip)

(SS) Sasquatch - Lifes Changin (Rekordah Remix) (clip)

This time remixes arrive courtesy of King Cannibal, MRK1, Bombaman from Canadian Dubstep duo Loetech, Hip-hop experi-mentalist Rekordah and Octa Push who joins his fellow Lisbon native Violet. This is probably my favourite Dubstep albums to drop in a long time, definitely worth grabbing if you like what you've heard so far. Here's a few full tunes from the collection to wet your appetite some more.

This glitched up creeping remix from the Danish downtempo stepper Eloquent takes the urgency out of Mr Oizo's original but leaves it no less sinister.

(YSI) Mr. Oizo - Latex (Eloquent Remix)

Don’t know much about this Glitch-hop track except, it’s dope and it’s by Eloquent from outta Copenhagen. Apparently the Danish city is now ‘Ready For War’, so look out people.

Brand new video to a heavyweight new track from Jahcoozi producer and all round Bass junkie Robot Koch. Some rather twisted sci-fi imagery both in the visuals and the tune.

Certified Banger introduce another element to their mission of bringing fresh UK Hip-hop artists to our ears with their free to download 21 track compilation ‘On The Radar’. Showing us that there are still a few worthy soldiers battling on in the scene (some of these admittedly are a little shell shocked maybe). Have to admit to feeling the Grime flavoured ones a little more here at Chrome Kids but there’s a mixed up bag of goodies in this package so check it out and head over to their blog for the tracklisting and a constant stream of ‘bangers’. Here’s our choice cuts:

(YSI) Queens English – Mind The Gap

(YSI) Skandal – Venom (Clean)

(YSI) Size 8 – Watchin’ Me


And for the whole album:

Does anyone remember the truly awful Street Fighter Movie with Jean Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue? Wouldn't blame you if you blocked it out, but the soundtrack was actually pretty heavy and featured tracks by the likes of Nas, Ice Cube, Paris and The Pharcyde.

Well the folks at Street Fighter have once again shown a keen ear with the soundtrack for their recently released Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the PSN and XBLA. Their 'Street Fighter Underground Remix Mixtape' has a selection of fine tuneage from: Redman & Oh No; Hieroglyphics, Zion I, DJ Toure, Mistah F.A.B. and Qbert.

Our favourite is the Oh No produced Redman banger 'Lay You Out' which we've included here for all those of you who don't happen to own a Playstation.

Let's just wait and see what the new Chun Li movie soundtrack has in store, the film looks like it might well be gash.
