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!
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 Menran 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(viaXLR8R).
Flying Lotus lends his golden touch to this hauntingly sultry track from Future-soul songstress Muhsinahfrom the second half of her stunning album The Oscillations: The Triangle, which also features production from Mike Slott, Exile and Oddisee.
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 atLuckyMe 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.
Speaking of Lunice, we hooked up with him alongside fellow Turbo Crunker Hovatron in Berlin and shamefully didn't get an interview. To make up for this hangover induced oversight, here's a whole bunch of Lunice remixes, plus you can check an exclusive new Hovatron track on our next mixtape dropping Monday.
Pick up the whole package here or check out a couple of our choice cuts below.

We're most excited about the iminant arrival of the new Hudson Mohawke (where's our promo copy btw?!) and to further get us musically moist we've just been sent these 2 bootlegs which were originally put out as white labels LuckyMexWireblock sometime last year. HudMo rampantly rags up some R'n'B bitches, even Biggie couldn't dream up such filth.
Just incase you've been hiding in a lead box for the past few months and haven't yet heard anything of the Butter album that drops via Warp on October 26th, here's a mix of snippets from the album along with one of the featured tracks in full.
And there's also an excellent podcast from the fellas at Wireblock over at the XLR8Rwebsite at the moment featuring the likes of Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Slugabed and Joy Orbison. Check it out here.
And seeing as we've got our ear in the Glasgow area, our good friend Boom Monk Benhas just hit us up with a brand new mix to party up the end of summer with.

As a special savoury twist they’ve also got Dante Fried Chicken, some of the finest New York soul food, catering both events, definitely advised to book a table in the Ivy for the Saturday and get your munch on.
In celebration, one of the nights' co-founders has just supplied FACT Magazine with this twisted crunked out mix for bumpin'loudly in ya low riders, jeeps and time travel enabled DeLoreans.
Plus, he may not be playing the birthday party but as this is the latest in the Lucky Me Mixtape series seems a perfect excuse to post this excellent mix where Hyperdub don Kode 9 once again confirms his connoisseur credentials.

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 a bit hectic here at Chrome Kids HQ this week so thought we should give you just a quick catch up of the things that we've been feeling recently that we've been meaning to put up. Some of them you may well have found elsewhere by now but if not... download that isht!
First up we've got the...
MIXES
Here's two of the best Essential Mixes from BBC Radio 1 we've hear for some time. The first was original broadcast last month but if you haven't caught it you really need to. It's Flying Lotus creating the beautifully crisp yet dirty lunar soundscapes he does so well, for 2 hours.
Next up is filthy and disgusting 'Jump Up' Dubstep from Rusko, who we're finding it hard to tell apart from Caspa these days, maybe they've finally morphed into the same person. Watch out for the remix of The Prodigy track Breathe, his very own Kate Perrydub that turns an innocent kiss into a full on lesbian porno and a little re-touch ofEastern Jamthat makes it even more evil.
Squincy Jones and Dayta from the Texas club night Speakerboxx Thursdays kept us going through a particularly heavy work load during the early hours of the morning with this live mix on the MK Ultra Show, KTRU covers a lot of the styles that we do on Chrome Kids with a few random fun bits worked in for good measure. Keep upto date with their goings on via www.awwready.blogspot.com
Lastly is the latest in the excellent We Make It Good Mix Series from ultra stylish media company Shilo. This one is courtesy of Baltimore bass blasting bad man Blaqstarr. Another eclectic one as he drops in his “inspirational tunes, the music I adapt too and the artists that influence me, and a few joints I made from the durdy to air so I could make sure ya’ll heard me… “ including Michael Jackson, Bob Marley, Nirvana, Outkast, Madonna and tracks he’s recorded withRye Rye and MIA. I forgot one other B word... bonkers!
This huge collabo between Canadian electro rockers MSTRKRFT and New York 'super thug' N.O.R.E. dropped back in April but now they've put together a video which manages to squeeze a shaky storyline around N.O.R.E.'s favourite topics of sex, drugs, money, gangsterism and erm... partying.
bigUP to Trailer Trasher for putting us onto this incredible new project from Mykah 9 and J The Sarge- Magic Heart Genies. This track is coming like Californian grime, and we just picked up the album which is a Hip-hop gemstone.
Magic Heart Genies - Heartifact
Now seems I might be on my own here as I'm lovin' this tune at the moment but it seems that everyone else who I've played it to so far seems to think it's wrong. Which yes it is a bit, the video features a bunch of roughneck looking young German's and the tune doesn't seem to get much deeper than fighting and drinking but hell, only a couple of days ago I was complaining about a lack of aggression in someone's music, and here it is on a platter. It's also damned catchy if you get past what seems to be an English speakers aversion to the German language... and no, to squash the worry that a couple of people had about the guys in this video, they are not a Neo Nazi group. The irony being that the assumption in itself is a bit racist. Let me know what you think of this though, I'm honestly interested and bigUP to Schakkerhart for putting us onto him.
JayJay - Knüppel Klopp
And some...
TUNEAGE
First up, here's another great new Electro-Funk tune from Old Money's Scareapeutic project which drops Monday.
Suso have just put up a fantastic 'cross media project' with members of LuckyMe which features some exclusive new remixes from Dema, Mike Slott, The Blessings and Jay Prada. Here's a couple of our choice cuts but you should head over to their site and check out the rest of the project.
And RCRD LBL just put up a Count of Monte Cristal (aka Herve) remix of NASA's track Money, the original of which we put up a couple of days back. Straight jackin' electro bizness.
You gotta be quick for this one if you're in Vienna... it's tonight! But well worth it with a solid line up which includes some Chrome Kids faves such as Sterotyp, Al Haca and Dorian Concept.
And in Bristol we're gonna be reaching out to this Crazylegs party in the New Year with: Starkey, Philladelphia Dubstep don and one of Mary Anne Hobbs' Generation Bass; Dexplicit the producer of one of Grime's biggest anthems 'Pow' and now rinsing it in the Bassline house scene; and our main man Raffertie, the bonkers Brum based beat butcherer; plus whole heap of local dons including The Kelly Twinsand our good friend Ben One.
For those of you who missed the fantastic mixes from The MF Gaslamp Killer (Brainfeeder / Art Don't Sleep) and Mike Slott (Heralds Of Change / Lucky Me) a couple of weeks back on Mary Anne Hobbs'show then here's another chance to decide who comes out on top... personally I think it's a waste of time trying to see it like that though, just listen, appreciate and enjoy two master craftsmen.
