world music

nice price deal !!! this is really good dont sleep! starkey is the mayor of starkville, which is entirely inhabited by starkbots, the robots he created. starkbots are fuelled by gritty beats with melodic tendencies.

orbits is the latest thrilling installment in starkeys street bass odyssey. the philly producer draws on grime, hip-hop, electro, bass music and beyond to blast off with his most accomplished and fully realized album yet. starkeys intricately crafted, sci-fi inspired tracks escape the intro-drop-breakdown-drop formula of most dance music thanks to a more expansive, ambitious approach.

the upcoming slab of wax from starkey is going to be a hot collectors piece! this release is split single from both the slit jockey records and seclusiasis imprints that starkey runs alongside dev79 and el carnicero. in true form, the slit jockey side is a raw grime track featuring the mc talents of london’s acclaimed trim. the seclusiasis side is a spacey r&b track with the alluring vocals of leah smith. the instrumentals of both songs are also included.
these heavyweight tracks will only be available on a limited white vinyl pressing and will not be available digitally at the time the 12 inch is released.

seven tracks on the new lowriders release and its a real joy to listen to! the ep opens with the cheerful title track with the likes of kissey on vocals and it is amazingly sticky and feels like a compendium of 30 years of electronic music, with seemingly effortless transitions between detroit house, booty bass and future music.baby treats you on a twostep/house bumper which will kill you. bek is like your 808 swingbeat ghetto track: redundancy to the bone covered with bubbles and some essential vocoder science. sduk makes baby into a dancefloor stomper, whereas starkeys interpretation of field (which appeared on our beatitude compiler) adds and enhances drama and suspense from the original.and then there is the magical krampfhaft remix of tic tac toe, a worthy last track, schizofrenic, driven and recognizable as a mutated juke screamer.
pressing on orange marbled vinyl.

now.. time for some fresh fresh fresh stuff.. on subway 018 we present akkachar, a name that isnt unknown in the music circuit. his label rwina has released some of the finest artists to date. taz buckfaster, eprom, starkey, swindle, doshy are just some of the names that went through his infamous imprint. but this time the don himself steps behind the buttons and shows that releasing music isnt all he is good at. we are proud to bring you akkachars debut, a producer you will hear alot more about in the near future.

such an intense, variegated, and singularly saccharin sound can only come from the mind of someone whos in love with life and music. its what puppy love sounds like for our generation. following the paul woolford remix of t. williams and terri walkers heartbeat comes local action 006, the first 12inch release by an amazing new artist from manchester, uk, called damu. after this, hes got material penciled in for blackdowns keysound label and more. the title track, a stand-out from girl units xlr8r podcast last year, is one of the best tunes weve put out yet, full of colour with just the right amount of lushness to it. while a lot of uk dance music right now seems to use colourful synths in an unimaginative way, damus drip, glow and fizz at every turn in the same way that ill blu or funkystepz do. listening to mermaids like diving head-first into a lagoon. after that youve got three more killers: the iron assault of >beat of zen< and the few-more-intense >sequinny<, plus a ‘beat of zen remix by chicago juke titans dj rashad and dj earl. early support comes from lv, girl unit, sinden, brodinski, starkey and more

if you thought we were spoiling you with the last build release (baobinga & hyetals joint 12, loved and played by pretty much everyone), then you should probably look away now. yep, once again, the game has been upped most thoroughly: build006 sees guido, one of the most original talents to emerge from the fertile bristol scene, team up with genre-blind bass-music badman (and label boss) baobinga, for another collaborative 12&#8243,,, of impeccable quality and taste… and of course, weird artwork.

following his prized joker rework, his inclusion on the hefty fabric-curated >elevator music< comp, his dope 7 inch for the all city crew, and corridor ep on plasticians terrorhythm imprint - not to mention a slew of remixes - om unit joins the civil music stable alongside starkey, reso, debruit, drums of death and darling farah. and yet again we see him pushing his sonic manifesto ever further. with years of working intently at the nexus of instrumental beats and electronic music, its time for the timps ep. the timps is real electro. faceless, percussive, underground with a sci-fi feel. dark, futuristic and dancefloor-oriented, punctuated with elements of 80s detroit techno.

marius mevold aka mindflow is 25 and hails from trondheim in norway. his nsd debut was picked up early by 1xtras mistajam and when you hear it you?ll soon see why. mindflow has created an absolute monster of a dubstep track thats so catchy even your mum will be dancing her socks off to it: fact. switched has all the elements of a festival anthem, lush old-skool piano chords, soaring diva vocal cuts and huge sub bass wobbles that will shake any summer sound system. just when you think it cant get any better, the half time dubstep beat switches into rolling uk funky vibes. really and truly, this tune is a beast and has already had huge club and radio support from mistajam (6 weeks running on his 1xtra show!) as well as annie mac, kissy sell out, scratch perverts, oneman and caspa. of course a never say die release wouldnt be complete without killer remixes and this one is no exception. d&b men of the moment and remixers extraordinaire, dc breaks, have taken switched to new lofty heights with their super production skills. in line with the old skool vibe of the original, the crisp beats and breaks underpin an awesome sub driven roller that is sure to be on heavy rotation for the summer. dj support: anne savage, cut la roc, excision, far too loud, flux pavilion, freq nasty, futurebound, general midi, high rankin, jaguar skills, kid kenobi, pendulum, reset!, rico tubbs, riskotheque, starkey and more

fresh from birmingham comes young talent src delivering the >goin out ep< for the rwina imprint. stuffing old school 8-bit sensibilities and new school grime attitude into a blender and hitting puree, src slings sizzling synths and punchy basslines with devastating effect. from the casual g-funk of >goin out< and >sort of a start< to the skank-u-like shuffle of >facepalm< and the danjah-esque >wheres the remote?<, this ep contains grime riddims that will fill every dancefloor with hypercolors, power-ups and neon-lights, like pacman duelling with mario in the dark. with all this in mind, src makes the case that he is one to watch for the future, and with a workrate to match the hype, you can expect a lot more where this came from!

folge 17 der vom label und internetradio rinse initiierten compilationreihe praesentiert einen mix von elijah & skilliam mit den besten grime-tracks aus dem englischen dance-underground 2011. die beiden djs, label-, club- und blogbetreiber (butterz) haben sich in ihrem mix vor allem auf instrumentale tracks konzentriert, darunter -take off- von faze miyake (dem wohl besten instrumentalen grime-track des jahres), wollten aber auf stimmen wie die von p money, blacks sowie trim and wiley nicht ganz verzichten. mit den 27 tracks schaffen die beiden einen reinen grime-mix, aehnlich wie in ihren shows auf rinse fm, mit den angesagtesten tracks aus der britischen grime-szene, darunter einige exklusive dubplates.
