We couldn't let these slip by without posting. FlyLo, HudMo, PauLo and Kendrick.
We’ve been keeping an eye on Texan rhymers Damaged Good$ since their fantastic but seemingly overlooked project with Xrabit. They showed then that they have an ear for a dope beat and now they've proved themselves beyond the call of duty with their new 'mixtape' in which they ride a bunch of killer tracks from the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Rustie and Caspa (his Deadmau5 remix).

Or if you want a little taster first here's a couple of the teacks in question.

We're always excited by any LuckyMe news so when When Mary Anne Hobbs announced that a new band had been added to the family our ears instantly pricked up more than Spock's pet corgi. The track she unleashed from American Men ran like a 4 minute HudMo meets Sigur Rós build up / break down that takes you everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They have dubbed the sound 'Miami Lazer Rock' and here's a copy of the tune courtesy of FACT, as well as a remix of their track AM System by fellow LM sibling Mike Slott (via XLR8R).

From what we can work out it seems Ralph Rip S**t went straight from bugging about the Hudson Mohawke track Rising 5 at Monkey's yard, into the studio and came out with this killer unofficial dub that makes it sound like the beat was made especially for him.

The guys over at Adult Swim who always have an ear for great music have teamed up with the Timbaland co-prduced beatmaking game Beaterator to bring some incredible remixes of Atlanta Hip-hop artists by such global leaders of the new school as Flying Lotus, Hudson Mohawke, Starkey and Dabrye. Here's a player with all the tracks and a few of our choice cuts but you can download the whole lot here.

Those folks at Mad Decent also leaked this remix of the recently incarcerated ATL rapper Gucci Mayne. The track is taken from the forthcoming Diplo mixtape using tracks from Gucci's own Cold War mixtape, switched up by himself and a few friends.

And whilst we're in remix mood here's a bunch of our favourite remixes we've recieved this week. Most of whom should need little introduction.

As promised, bit of a Monday Mixtape special this week as we bring you... Us.
We did this mix for Adam Walton's Mystery Tour show on BBC Radio Wales. Adam's been a strong supporter of many Welsh Dubstep and Hip-hop crew over time, infact he's been a strong supporter of pretty much every good Welsh band out there full stop. He let us run rampant for half an hour and this is the result. We kept it in Dubstep territory this time but with strong Hip-hop and Grime overtones. Starting with the big bass monsters, smoothing out a touch then getting twisted before leaving you on a high note. With a couple of original productions from crew members Monkey & Stagga.
Have a listen, let us know what you think. If you want to book us for a DJ set email Adam at C23Management@hotmail.com - we'd love to come rock your party.

Seems wrong to give out presents on your own birthday but that's just what 4 year old Scottish What's On Oracle The Skinny and the sprightly 1 year old Ten Tracks (website bringing you 10 tracks for a pound... bargain) are doing. They've got a big bag of bass from the fellas over at LuckyMe that they're giving away. Download the full selection here and if you're in the area make sure you reach their Twisted Birthday Party this Saturday (see flyer for details). Here's a few of our choice cuts from 2 of the LuckyMe members and Lunice from Montreal.

Also the guys over at Size? Cardiff have an exclusive mix from the man like Don Leisure featuring some of his very own VIPs and a bunch of classic tracks from the likes of Afta 1, Hudson Mohawke, Waajeed, MF Doom, Dam Funk and Harmonic 313. Pick it up here.
Our man Metabeats has been mightily busy of late. As well as the soon to come Sledgehammer Kisses EP with Mudmowth and the new album from his clique Squid Ninjaz for which he's provided a number of beats, and even a few rhymes, he's also been setting dancefloors on fire with the Chesus & Rodski stuff and is working on a new solo album, for which information is scarce but we do know that Elucid makes an appearance or two in there some place and no doubt some of the other Squid Ninjaz and Associated Minds family will find there way in there too.
On top of all this he's found time to drop us this small slice of Dillafied future soul, new beat generation type business. You can grab the wav here or a 320 MP3 below.
Told you we'd post up some more Elucid after he sent us a killer Kode 9 remix of his forthcoming EP. This album is from last year but as we missed it then and it's still fresh to death, infact in hindsight it's one of the best albums of 2008. Grounded in Hip-hop but never staying grounded for long as it takes technological trips all over the place with the help of guest production spots from the likes of Hudson Mohawke on the Psy-Crunk of Mannequin (Dead Fresh), Aeon with a driving off kilter Jazzed out beat on Automatic Writing, and Suhburb who adds a Dubstep flavour to his remix of Code For The Streets. Here's a few choice Chrome cuts but it's definitely worth grabbing the whole thing and giving it a proper listen.

(YSI) Elucid - Would Be Killer / alt link
(YSI) Elucid - Starstruck / alt link

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.

So you've got the object of your desire back to the manor and its blatantly gonna be on. You fix a couple of drinks, dim the lights but then you have a dilemma. What music do you put on? Sorry but gone are the days when you could just press play on the R Kelly cassette and let the wiley crackhead paedophile provide the soundtrack to your bumpin' and grindin', so what's the solution? Well there's no doubting that Hudson Mohawke is one of the slow-glitch kings and he has compiled a fine selection of 80s souls smoochers here in his second Valentines mixtape, however this can only be played in any romantic situations with extreme irony (hence the Gunshots throughout I guess). Just incase you didn't realise that we waited til a couple of days after Valentines to put this up, it's for your own good you realise. Now pass me another glass of Babycham and I'll try to figure out how to keep the strawberries in place with this damned cream running so much.
