A change of direction

I've re-read this blog a few times recently, and moreover it just seems to have been identikit regurgitated press releases and tune/mix giveaways.

In the spirit of progression, I'm changing the tone of the blog. Original pieces, no reposts (unless it's something really good), and a more distinctive air about it.

What this space.

La Roux ft. Kanye West...

FFS.

Used to have respect for La Roux. Whilst some of her music was, at times, a poor imitation of what Les Rhythmes Digitales was doing back when I was still at college, at least she spoke her mind and slated the commercial mainstream acts who got drawn into the celebrity DJing/doing guest spots on 'dance' mixes/released remixes with famous rappers featuring.

Now, in the last couple of months she's put out a mixtape with Major Lazer, done guest DJing slots including Bestival, and has now done this collab with 2nd Coming Of Hip Hop himself.

Artistic expression, or milking it for all it's worth?

[Tune/Mix] MR. SOFALUMPKINS on GENIUSKILLS, aka T.POWER

It would seem that T-Power (him of Shake Ur Body) has had something of an identiy crisis, and is now putting out breaks tunes under the name Mr Sofalumpkins. Ordinarily, this kind of behaviour would have you sectioned (or at least get you a Sunday afternoon set at Bestival), but it just so happens that the productions are pretty damn spot on.

His new release "The Masquerade EP" is out now, and can be found here. Also, we have very kindly been donated this quite frankly lovely MIA bootleg, together with a DJ mix.

[Mix] Lazer Sword - The 808 Mix Tape (Global bass)

http://www.internationaltapes.com/mixtapes/lazer-sword/

t’s pretty obvious in most songs included in this mix (some songs not so obvious) that it was fully inspired by the infamous Roland TR-808 Drum Machine. After all, the one and only Sir Mix-A-Lot said it himself, “The 808 kick drum make the girlies get dumb” which should be reason enough. The 808 has without a doubt been the most popular and favorited drum machine in hip-hop and dance music since the beginning and it really just never gets old.

Clearly the 808 is being embraced even more in modern day electronic and dance music. Producers are getting quite creative with it’s sounds. They’re experimenting more, breaking the boundaries of the conventional kick, snare, hi hat patterns and loosely creating complex rhythms, showcasing other 808 percussion sounds like the clave for a hi hat or a tom replacing the kick and these new approaches are definitely represented throughout the mix.
