July top 5

1. Oh no- runnin’ the show [Stones Throw]

dooooope album from stones throw. Showcasing the “whos who” of underground hip hop.

2. Simo and Mood Schula- Deep inside feat. Oliver Day Soul [Sound on Muzik]

some more fresh hip hop, this time from Seoul. Played a show with these guys a couple months ago, real chill. Loose, soulful, smoked out beats.

3. Danny Daze- Ghetto Fab [Plant Music]

haha “you a hoochie”

4. Sam KDC- Prelude to winter (James’ song) [*Free tune*]

deep 170bpm business. beautiful.

19th Jun 2012

June top 5

1. Roygreen & Protone- End game [Inform records]

Loving these guys productions. laser sharp percussion and a fat droning kick keeps this tune rolling along. Some distortion and white noise in all the right places and you’ve got a stripped back beauty of a tune.

2. Stunna & Dfunk- Lost in the rain

Grammy nominated, Chicago producer Stunna teams up with Dfunk to bring out the soul vibes.

3. June Miller- Snapcase [Critical]

The edgy drums and the jumpy synth give a real rapid-fire vibe on this one. This one hits real hard.

4. Nocturnal Sunshine- Meant to be [K7]

Maya Jane Coles under her dubstep guise (nocturnal sunshine) joins the legendary “DJ kicks” imprint to release this seductive, low frequency roller. Drawing on her British and Japanese heritage, Coles unique sound has garnered her fans across the electronic music spectrum.

5. Burial and Four Tet- Nova [Text Records]

Looking at the names behind the track should give an idea of the quality. A depth achieved by few producers and nested with emotion.. but what did you expect when Burial and Four Tet team up?
