WEATHER FREMDCAST 18042012

April 18, 2012

Yesterday we received, in the traditional mailbox, a beautiful gift by our good friends at Thefindmag HQ: a nicely designed 7-inch called ‘Pale Blue Dot‘ with music by Mr. J. Medeiros, an L.A.-based rapper, producer, singer and songwriter. The original version, produced by Stro Elliot and a hook sung by Giannina Ashe, switches smoothly from a ‘Easy like Sunday morning’-vibe to powerful, lyrical eruptions that sound like Urban Dance Squad‘s Rudeboy’s. The remix, done by 20Syl with extra vocals by Canadian MC Shad, adds more electronic Funk synth-lines and heavy drums. Go get it a.s.a.p., because this one will be sold out quickly!

Then there’s another great single out: ‘This is it‘ by singer iET (NL). Budy Mokoginta (our favorite mastering guy!) remixed the track and you can download it for free or download it on iTunes. Like Kool Keith said, like James Brown; please, please, please. Don’t sleep on this. Do not!

Sometimes surfing the net for new tunes can be a disappointing. Sometimes you’ll surf into surprises that make your day: like this one, found via 20jazzfunkgreats: A track called Union, by a guy named Saitam, bringing drums, gamelan and an ocean of sound to your ears. Get it.

A few more for on the road: check this To and Fro mix, this Pedestrian guestmix for Brownswood Recordings, this Rhythm&Roots mix, the new, but a little old (January 2011) mix by DJ Mace on mixcloud. And we have ourselves a Beatport chart.

Drive save…

BIG MISTER DOOM’S ‘TINDERBOX’ OUT NOW!

February 6, 2012

It’s out! We are very proud to announce the release of ‘Tinderbox‘ by Leeds-based duo Big Mister Doom!

Big Mister Doom’s Ian Scott and Joe Wretham bring detailed, rich and deeply textured electronic music on their début EP ‘Tinderbox‘. Taking influence from genres including Minimal Techno, IDM and Leftfield Hip Hop, the two introduce the listener to their vast universe of music. The title-track evolves from a subtle yet flammable, groovy tune into an absolute dancefloor filler. The two take it downtempo on the atmospheric, mellow ‘Wilderness’.
Pierce Warnecke flexes his muscles and chops, screws, tweaks until ‘Tinderbox‘ sounds like it’s been revisited by skilful aliens. OptiMace combines forces with guitar player Budy Mokoginta and singer-songwriter iET, making ‘Wilderness’ sound like an adventurous ride into the wild. The eye-catching artwork is done by Cameron Steward.
