Wiley on Rinse

Grab the first radio appearance from Wiley in over a year. Lots of new bars, lots of jokes and vibes on the set. JJ on decks. Wiley is obviously not shy about trying new lyrics and flopping them on the air, which makes for some interesting sequences.. where you get to hear the same piece reloaded 3 times in succession, getting tighter each time, slightly different sound and flow.

Ontological Society Dubplates

Just got a hold of this quasi-new set from Appleblim and Wedge, recorded on sub fm. I hadn't heard of Wedge before, but am feeling his production, more of this post-dilla, slowish dubstep kind of thing that keeps popping up. It's a little reminiscent of darkstar. Nice to hear radio sets where the djs are blatantly having a laugh in the studio... Vibes!!

keep your friendship / bad man a bad man

mr vegas - keep yr friendship

Oh man, I am feeling this Vegas tune.. Vegas is quick to draw for the uplifting, brush-your-teeth-and-eat-your-vegetables, sparkle dust in the production, live-up-clean kind of choruses. But sometimes they switch to some raw, straight-ahead business after the drop, like whoa, what happened! Kind of like this one, actually:


mr vegas fr overmars - raging bull

Actually Ele is kind of the originator of the unrelated positivity chorus paired with disco-inferno bars.. Remember this one?

elephant man - bad man a bad man


yep. totally dude.

or this:

elephant man - elephant message

danny scrilla - hold the line rmx

danny_scrilla_dubstep_remix.mp3

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.

bobbie konders culture + lovers mix

I found this culture mix posted up on the massive b site, where I was half-heartedly looking for some events popping off last night. It seemed like saturday was the off-night between some mega arena jams at bb kings on friday and later tonight, so I was a little thrown to see bounty + beenie together on the marquee at Roseland - whoops! It was not to be though, I had a date with the russian vodka room which was kind of cool in its own way, and the line looked a little out of hand anyhow.

ps baltika = pretty damn tasty actually.

Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo

I first heard this tune on joy's mix on low end spasm, but it seems like it's popping up everywhere now. hypnotic shuffling broken, heavyweight... this has gotta be stiff on a real soundsystem.
