Potholes Music Presents Cosmic Island

Here's something for all the instrumental fans. I've never really listened to much of Potholes Music discography before, but it seems that put out really solid compilations and EPs, featuring a whole range of talented producers.

This album features a whole variety of Hip Hop-inspired productions from familiar faces on the beatmaking scene such as Durkin, Lakim, Ta-Ku, and newer artists (to me, anyway) such as Suhnraw and EOM.

Definitely a great album to zone out to on those Sunday afternoons. You can stream/download Cosmic Island via the player below, and grab more music from the Potholes Music Bandcamp too.

So I started up a digital label...

As a new year dawns, so do new projects. After months of quiet planning, research, and a few hundred emails, I'm proud announce the launch of my label Triangulum Recordings.

Specialising in the deeper/darker/purple side of Dubstep, instrumental Grime and other experimental music around the 140 BPM region, Triangulum is a digital label that aims to bring you the best forward-thinking electronic music this side of the galaxy; so expect a healthy mixture of dark riddims, bouncy riddims, and stuff that's downright weird, wonky and wonderful.

The 001 will be out in early/mid March, featuring music from Fused Forces and myself, and an exciting up-and-coming producer by the name of DCult, whose tracks have received recent support from Dubstep royalty such as Youngsta (Rinse FM) and Cyrus (Random Trio). Snippets are up on the Soundcloud page now.

Whilst the website is being sorted, you can follow Triangulum on Twitter, or become a fan on Facebook for regular updates.

Lastly, to all the bloggers/journalists out there, I'm currently available for guest mixes and interviews if you're interested in knowing more. Hit me up and I'll send over the relevant info. I'll also be announcing more details of the first few releases this month.

I'm excited to see where this new venture takes me.

Mary Anne Hobbs' Final Show on Radio 1

Last night Mary Anne Hobbs hosted her last ever show on BBC Radio 1, which included a special guest mix from Kode9 & Burial. For years, she has been pivotal in opening up peoples' ears to cutting edge music, and one of the first DJs to introduce Dubstep to national radio. It's sad to see her go, but I know Benji B will continue carry the torch well when he takes over on October 14th.

All the best, Mary Anne Hobbs!

El-P "Meanstreak"

Here are a couple of beats from El-P's forthcoming "Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3", which drops August 3rd on Gold Dust Records.

"Meanstreak" is a dark, three-part instrumental suite, whilst "Whores (The Movie)" sounds as seedy as the title suggests...Worth checking out if you like your experimental/instrumental Hip Hop.

DJ Cable's Weekly Mix #23 (Download)

This week, I put together a few of the current club tracks that are making people's feet move on the dancefloor, added another cheeky blend, and threw in some IDM/Experimental from that Aphex Twin chap too...Random, but a good one!

As usual, stream/download via Zshare....

Tracklisting:

01. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction
02. Beyonce - Beautiful Nightmare
03. Common Feat. Pharrell - Universal Mind Control
04. DJ Cable - Universal Milkshake
05. Kid Sister - Control
06. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker (Cable's Dancefloor Friendly Re-Edit)
07. Teriyaki Boyz Feat. Busta Rhymes & Pharrell - Zock On

For those wondering what I've done to 'Windowlicker'...The drums and the time signature switch up very randomly throughout the track. So to make my life easier I re-arranged/re-sequenced the drums for the intro, added a DJ-friendly 32 bar intro, and re-fixed the middle part/bridge...This way, you can boogie to it a lot easier too....

Any DJs wanting a copy - let me know and I'll email it over....

Enjoy!
