Kaptin Is Dead - Reflections 2012 by Kaptinisdead on Mixcloud

We haven't done any 'best of' this year but Kaptin has put together a 'reflection selection' for 2012. Here's what he said about it.

"As I enter the final stages of the roller coaster ride that was 2012 I've left little time to consider a 'best of mix' really, with such a good year for music it might possibly last til 2014 anyway. However whilst in Studio 2 of Radio Cardiff I put together this selection of tunes that owe more to the reflective nature of the year's end. No fancy mixing or tricks just some incredible tunes from 2012 played pretty much in their entirety. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have."

Actually the Tensnake remix of Ritual Union came out in 2011 but we'll let him off this once because it was still a great tune in 2012.

Tracklisting:

Metabeats feat. Dubbledge - EyeSeeYou

One of our firm favourites of the West Coast downtempo Glitch-hop brigade Take (aka Sweatson Klank) has just dropped a new mixtape on The New Worck to wet our appetites for his new mix CD Sweatson's Trajectory that should be dropping in early May.

This mix keeps away from the digital Hip-hop sound that Take is known for and digs a little deeper into his (crates and) influences within the world of 'Avant-garde, Electronic Jazz Psych'. It includes artists such as: Soft Machine, Mort Garson; Moggie; Van Dyke Parks; Fred Miller; Pauline Oliveros; Ruth Anderson; Bobby Hutcherson; and Secret Oyster.

Quite a jazzy, soulful affair for us Kids but lovin' the swing on this dreamy little slice of North London Street Funk from Eglo Records' new signing Shuanise Odunaiya, who says her music "is a fusion of everything I love: synth sounds, heavy bass, high frequencies, African choirs, crackling vinyl & talking drums". That could be why we love it too.
