If you happen to have passed through a few blogs recently you will no doubt be aware that next week is Fabric's 10th Birthday Weekend. Even if you are, this is most definitely something to hammer home, so here's the flyer for Friday which we're pretty certain will make even our most snobbiest of readers just a touch moist.


Plus here's some proper horns out hands in the air Carnival style mixes from DJ Zinc and Smutlee for extra pulling power

And the Carnival vibe don't stop as Baobinga hits us with some Soca meets Ghetto Tech hyper-energy madness.

The guys over at Take Flight Club just posted this scrumptiously filthy mix from bass munching dirt flinger Cookie Monsta, all his own productions from the dark back alleys of Sesame Street where Big Bird makes a sideline in Amsterdam animal freak porn, the Count is running numbers and Oscar's so strung out he's gone from grouchy to damn near homicidal. You can stream it here via Mixcloud or download it below.

Avante-garde French Hip-hop stable Jarring Effects are to release the next album from Swiss beatstrumentalists Reverse Engineering early next year. Highly Complex Machinery, the follow up to their 2006 debut Duck & Cover will feature vocal contributions from Anti Pop Consortium's M.Sayyid, Croatian rapper Diyala and DJ Vadim favourite Blu Rum 13, their primary rhyme collaborator so far. As a taster to their sound they've just uploaded a promo package of goodies onto their Soundcloud page, with an unofficial Mochipet remix, and a few other unreleased gems. There's also a taster of their new material with Socially Acceptable, a savagely broody Glitch hop head nodder.

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.

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.

As the rain kicks in here at Chrome Mansions let's look to sunnier climates and head over to the West Coast, USA for a sonic holiday.


Flying Skulls hit us up with two of their new releases, which comprise of remixes from their Take Flight remix by artists such as Mochipet, Ribotto and their own BBQ Chicken Dub alter egos. Abducted Vol 1 is out on Addictech now or on iTunes as of tomorrow. Abducted Vol 2 is out as an exclusive release on Daly City Records and includes this remix of Skeleton Talk. With it's machine gun drum patterns, some of the squelchiest bass alive and twisted G funk synths, it's kinda like listening to classic Dr Dre in a K hole.

Meanest Man Contest just dropped us this superbly spaced out remix of their track Day Off Theme from the excellent new Leaders compilation on Subtitle's Briefcase Rockers label (also featuring Lazer Sword, Small Is Beautiful, Debruit, Crunc Telsa and a whole heap more). On this version their pal Calamalka from Vancouver gives it a beautifully liquid sounding Rolf Harris wobble.

Not many Emcees can touch Gift Of Gab for straight up free firing flow and liquid lyricism. A master of his art that at times is mind blowing and at others has you waving bananas in the air in a funk fuelled frenzy, so of course we await the new album eagerly. If you're also a fan of the gifted one then you can pre-order his sophomore solo album here. If not then maybe this track can convince you, a latin tinted funk nodder with a lovely dubbed out breakdown at the end.

Muti Music just uploaded this sinister low fi creeper from the Glitch Mob and PantYRaid don Ooah onto their Soundcloud account. We're not certain but it's probably a teaser for the next Acid Crunk compilation from An-ten-nae due out on Muti in November.

The label also have a compilation out now that they've put together for the Symbiosis Gathering festival that is most definitely worth copping (out on Addictech at the moment and full release in the next couple of weeks). It features the original of the Skeleton Talk track posted above and some of our other favourites from the likes of An-ten-nae and Eskmo.
