Look out for the new Hyperdub meeting of minds and music from L.V. and Quarta 330 which drops on April 26th. Hylo is a glitched up electro ping pong game set to a future grime bleep fest whilst Suzuran, a remix of a tune by Chiptune artist Dong, is what it might sound like if the first pop tune to break out of Furby land into the Japanese charts was a Future Garage track.

Speaking of Hyperdub, we're currently watching this lecture from head honcho Kode 9 that we got from the fellas over at the Red Bull Music Academy. One of the most interesting guys in modern music so you know it's gonna be a brain booster.




Finally we have a tune which Hyperdub starlet Ikonika felt was a little too close to her label mate Zomby, so she offered it up on her Twitter feed.

Hopefully you've enjoyed your Christmas and New Year break as much as we have, our inboxes are now overflowing with goodies though so we're just gonna hit you with 1 choice Video, Mix, Track and Remix out of them all before we carry on with what the New Year brings.

VIDEO

After her recent ventures into the acting world with parts in Dubplate Drama and Adulthood, Shystie returns to the mic backed up by breakbeat leg-end DJ Deekline (as in Deekline & Wizard). 'New Style' is released later this month on Deekline’s very own Rat Records with remixes from Oh Snap and Doc Nasty.



This mix from ex Kids In Tracksuits, Matt Cutler a.k.a. Lone (who dropped a gem in the form of his aqua-crunkish Lemurian album last year) was originally featured on XLR8R.com and includes some of our Chrome favourites such as Rustie, Mrk 1 and our fellow Cardiff resident Mr Curtamos whose fine dubz we've been rinsing extremely hard of late.

TRACK


Have to admit I was dubious about anyone calling themselves Don Cash, I was kind of expecting some G'd up foolishness but instead found some rather intriguing Hip-hop Electro-Punk Popish Old Skool business. This track isn't really representative of the rest of the 'Freshy Fresh' album but you can check the whole thing via ZShare here.

REMIX

In Jen Feldman's own words this is "Rick Ross's 'Hustlin' re-imagined for the cashmere set" and indeed when listening to this remix it's hard to picture that Rick Ross actually intended this track to be anything but a dreamy little ditty about what he gets up to "What's that Ricky? You've been hustlin' really hard, there's nice for you." Any initial aspirations to being a bad boy are immediately squashed beneath Jen's happy go lucky production. A fine job indeed.
