Glitch/8-bit/bass/breakcore/noise producer Baseck is hardly averse to giving away some stellar music, as he did with his Heavy Metal 8-Bit mixtape and Strawberry Muck: Remixes EP projects. This week, in anticipation of his upcoming show/birthday celebration “So Simple presents: Some More Dope Shit” this Saturday, August 13th (flyer after the Jump), the Los Angeles-based Baseck […]

Noise and glitch maestro Baseck is feeling generous, so he decided to give away his latest single and EP Muck away for free. The E.P. collects all the various forms that “Muck” has gone through since it’s initial creation — including the original track (from the album Creatures on Subconscious Communications), a grimey lofi glitcher […]

New York electronic DJ/producer Brian Suarez, aka Allies, has just released an EP titled Hour of the Wolf (available on iTunes). Initially breaking through years ago with the electro-house club track “Taboo” (when he was known as Gater), Suarez has evolved his sound to include a more complex, lush and layered synth-pop sound, rounded out […]

Although that can’t be, because from our secret lair at The Meadows hidden under a knoll deep in the Venice Beach […]

A great, super quick 7-minute mini-mix from London’s incomparable A.Skillz highlighting the massive cross-genre influence of The Beatles. “This is a Mini Mix I was asked to do for The Beatles & Black Music Documentary on BBC Radio 1xtra Hosted By Semtex and featuring Interviews with Sir Paul McCartney, Q-tip, Questlove, Common, Benga and Roots […]

Australia’s PVT have just released their sophomore album Church With No Magic on the peerless Warp Records. Leftfield, dense with textured sounds and more than a bit deranged, the band formerly known as Pivot have a headlock on damaged techno, for lack of a better term. Amidst all that digital rubble, however, are beautiful layers […]
