been knocking these for a minute, but I just got around to cutting them up. three guest mixes on mary anne hobbes' experimental show, from a few weeks back.
Danny Scrilla is either a part of or affiliated in some way with the riseandshine camp, I can't remember. They got on my radar from making three really solid mixes of uk funky. Here's a remix he's done of major lazer's hold the line.
It feels like I have been listening to more london radio sets and mixes than at any other point in recent memory - its hard to keep up. Every day brings an avalanche of new tunes to retrieve, load up and listen to. One look at the rinse playback feed shows that this funky 4x4 thing has completely taken over and whatever you may feel about this latest phase, (or which theory you employ to make sense of it all) it does seems futile to try to pretend it isn't here to stay. Or, to put it another way, you might as well know about it.
Cooly G - FACT mix Cooly is a new hyperdub signee who produces and sings. This mix is wicked.
LVIS1990 - UK house mix for Curb Crawlers This mix supposedly focuses on the less nursery rhyme / skank side of things. If you find this distinction confusing, check out what Blackdown has to say about it here. Lvis says to file this under uk house, not funky. Either way the set is a big one.
Blackdown and Dusk - live on rinse Droppin' the NUMM! some heavy throwback stuff at the front, and a short mix of zomby specials in the middle.. Check it out.
Wow. I just got through posting up T_!'s leanup mix from January, and moments later i find out he's got at least one more out with the same name. Haven't listened yet, but it gets a link, just off the strength of the first piece.

This is a pretty old mix, but it's a big one, so I figured it could do with another mention. I assumed that the artist credit was a typo, but nope, this was put down by none other than dj "t+underscore+explanation-point", back in January... Yep. I'm still trying to understand what the deal is with british neo-bass dudes and cryptic, single letter dj names.
Strange handles aside, this has a real nice energy and flow, flawless mixing, and covers a pretty wide range of tunes. Extra wild was the inclusion of the proto-jungle hardcore joint 'we are e', which I first heard Dara drop in a history-lesson radio set more than ten years ago.. I did not see that coming.

Been vibing to this Appleblim mix for a minute, its pretty tight. There's some sketchy parts (read: electro samba) but the front of the set more than makes up for it.
Less fresh was the part where I had to had to create an account at this kind of over the top portal site just to grab the MP3. It's all too much.
