:::DMZ 6th Birthday>>Mala b2b Coki:::


Don't know how I missed posting this a while back, but here it is!

Now before you start going all crazy, I don't think they filmed/recorded the James Blake Vs Kode9 set. I was watching live and I never saw that set... But this DMZ set is fucking amazing. Anytime you get to see the DMZ crew do their thing, it is truly a treat. Enjoy! And tell all your friends.

:::Maurice Donovan>>SSSSSS002:::


Stream the new EP from one of "Chicago's all-time underrated house music players," Maurice Donovan. Apparently having come back to show us kids who were, "born inna damn laptop" [in his own words], what house music is all about. Fair enough. The EP should be out in late April.
Until then, Follow Maurice on Twitter, and tell all your friends.

:::TEETH:::



"I like drum machines, obviously. Sequencing. Alterations. The 808 vein. This is a fruitful time to be making music. A lot of the influences I've been into [throughout] the years all of a sudden fit together-- ghetto-tech, percussive house, audio of my wife going through her singing practices, techno. I guess the ideal is a rhythm that is simultaneously stagnant and organic. My emphasis nowadays is in on the rhythm and the stripped aesthetics. Rawness, if you will. I'm a pretty black-and-white person-- simply into drum machines, garage swing, and an impact." - Teeth

Relatively new to the dubstep scene, Teeth began making experimental hiphop back in the early 90's in his homeland of Finland. He continued with it until 2006 when he made the turn towards the 140 bpm world. He has releases scheduled on Noppa and Oneman's new 502 label. The latter being a 12" release of the track, "Shawty" with a Falty DL Remix on the flip side. I am pretty hyped about this dude, really feeling the direction he [&Oneman] are taking dubstep, can't wait to hear more!!

:::Star Slinger:::


Star Slinger is multiple levels deep in a subsonic dimension that most people don't even know exists. His beats are so beautifully smooth while still evoking a full body convulsion that some would call dancing. He is from Manchester and is only 24! Nuff said! Tell your friends, and check out all the music and links below.





:::THE WEEKND:::


I don't know shit about The Weeknd. But I do know that the dudes voice is unreal and the melodies on this album are fucking insane. It's R&B-Future-Hop dosed heavily with codeine. Apparently Drake is a huge fan. I think it is going to be really hard for you not to become a huge fan. Free download of the new album below. Tell all your friends.

:::STATE CRIME:::



Mysterious newcomer, State Crime, gives us a preview of what he has been cooking up in his laboratory. Sounds pretty tasty to me. Serious funky shit on a detroit techno/grime tip. I'm LOVING IT. State Crime's music sounds like something you would hear at 3 am in a filthy detroit warehouse, but it could just as easily be heard at a rooftop loft party somewhere in Eastern Europe. Consider this your warning; STATE CRIME IS COMING!!! Prepare yourself with this ruff draft of his newest track. Can't wait to see where this one goes!! We'll be doing a full write-up and interview with the mastermind soon enough, and be on the lookout for a mixtape as well!!

:::SALVA>>COMPLEX HOUSING:::



It has been far too long since the release of Salva's amazing debut LP, "Complex Housing." I am slacking. It has pretty much been on constant repeat in my life since I got it. The kind of repeat where you literally start the album over four times in a row, and never feel bored. Salva's freshmen release is like a codeine-fuelled trip through a disco-funk paradise in a the passenger seat of a '74 Bonneville with the trunk rattling and Salva is the driver! Straight up. Believe me when I tell you that this album is a truly unique ride over bubbly baselines and synths that nearly slash the tires. Salva shows you right out the gate that he is a serious badman and is definitely not to be fucked with. He continues this journey across numerous musical landscapes and the ride is as smooth as the leather seats. He receives vocal help on the only collaborative track, 40Karats, by eccentric future-funk crooner Zacky Force Funk. He also enlisted a crew of multitalented artists for remix duties; Lazer Sword's Lando Kal, Machinedrum, My Wet Dry Mess and Frite Nite [Salva's Label] signee B. Bravo. This album could not come more highly recommended by me and everyone I know. Please, buy it and support one of San Francisco's most talented and promising artists. Tell all your friends.

:::Shlohmo>>Places [Chopped&Screwed]:::


Shlohmo loves us, and wants us to know how much he loves us. So he took the test pressing 45 of the single off his brand new "Places EP" [which I just heard hit #2 on the iTunes electronic music charts!!!] and made a slurred out/dirty south/chopped n screwed remix just because he can. Because he got it like that. So roll that blunt, dip it in the syrup, lean back [really fucking far], and vibe out this ill beat by one of our generations the most promising young beat-smiths.

:::KORELESS:::


Koreless is from Glasgow. He brilliant. I think they put something in the water over there, or maybe its the weather? I mean, Rustie, HudMo, the whole LuckyMe crew?!?! They really know what they are doing. Koreless is no different; laying down fluttering vocal samples over spaced-out yet extremely sophisticated melodies. He reminds me of a collaboration between James Blake and Jacques Greene. Only recently on the scene, he dropped his limited edition [only 300 copies pressed] debut, "4d/MTI" on Pictures Music just a couple days ago and he shows no signs of slowing down, oh yeah, and he is only 18. Please, tell all your friends. Download the music, then BUY the music.

:::LV remixes Zomby [back in 2009]:::

"I was born in a system that doesn't give a fuck about you, nor me, nor the life..."

I really just dig the fuck out of this track, it has been in my head all day, had to post it. To quote the Resident Advisor review from 2009, "If every Zomby track can be genealogically traced back to a fairly specific set of musical antecedents (jungle, hardcore, dubstep, rave, hip-hop, etc., etc.), the finished results, cultivated under bedroom grow-lights, have struck more than a few as some seriously next level shit."
TRUTH!

LV adds a little something funky to this deep head-nodder from the one like ZOMBY!! Turn the lights down, blaze ya spliff and vibe out to these sounds.
Oh, and tell all your friends.

:::Robot Robinson>>>Smorgasbord Video:::



YES! This is too good. It seems as though Robot Koch can do anything; sultry-smooth love songs with his girl Grace, glitched-out bangers with the likes of Doshy & Boxcutter. His most recent collaboration, with John Robinson from Scienz of Life, is again a testament to his nearly undefinable, genre-defining, yet instantly recognizable sound. John Robinson comes with his laid-back, slick wordplay filled flow and lays it down effortlessly over Robot Koch's wandering, vocal-sampled, lazerbeat. Effortless, it's beautiful. It's what Hip-Hop in the Future will sound like, or at least in Robot Robinson's future.

This tune is so smooth it almost makes you slip. He has enlisted remix help from fellow UK producer, Braiden as well as Mark Flash. According to XLR8R there will also be remixes by Koreless and NY's favorite Machinedrum. This is top-notch house music from the future. Please tell all your friends.

Egyptrixx - Start from the Beginning from Studio Datdatdat on Vimeo.

So, what do you think?
He is pretty amazing, this man they call Egyptrixx. He caught the attention of Night Slugs label heads Bok Bok & L-Vis 1990 and released NS01, "The Only Way Up EP," in 2010. That EP, just like every Night Slugs release, is an instant classic. The quality of the tracks make it nearly impossible to pick a favorite and the remixes are just as good as the originals. My advice? Clear your mind and let the expansive sounds of the music control your thoughts. Also, tell all your friends how dope he is!
Album out March 7!!!
