Labyrinth: In the Woods

Second recomendation from Spiral Matt - deep atmospheric dubstep from the US by a guy called Labyrinth on Pangea Productions/Pure [Perception Records. Starts off very melodic and floaty while the bass progressively ramps up underneath. Very nice...

Greg Hunter - Dubsahara

Not long after I saw him last, my mate Spiral Matt sent me some links to some good downtempo mixes. I subsequently lost them and now two months later I've had to ask him for them again. Turns out it was well worth it. The first was to the latest incarnation of one of the true greats of down tempo world music, Greg Hunter. Along with Simon Posford and Youth, Hunter was one third of the classic ambient dub project Dub Trees.

Hunter's latest project is dubsahara which he describes himself as 'mystical Persian loops' and does pretty much what it says on the tin. Perfect music to evoke dreams of those balmy summer nights that will be hopefully soothing us in the next few months!


This mix is pretty lush:

From the website - www.dubsahara.com - you can also download the last dubsahara LP (new one on the way this summer):

Metasurfing - Cloudshaped - LP

and Hunter's mix from the Inspiral Lounge at Glade last year:

Roll on the festivals!

Mary Miss Fairy and the murder mystery

Had a sweet bank holiday weekend on a mate's farm in Wales. Barns, BBQ, soundsystem, woods, friends and camping... what more do you need? A pair of CD decks would've been handy but it didn't spoil the fun and we had many a wicked set to put on instead; including this epic techno / electro / breaks mix brought along by the lovely Mary Miss Fairy.

As far as I know no-one was actually murdered over the weekend. Just brain cells and good taste...

Ooah raiding your panties for Marine Parade

Been meaning to post this for some time... a pretty laid back Ooah mix which must be from around the time I must have first got hold of his lush bass heavy, floaty glitchyness...


You can download it here:

Ooah - Scientific Sound Surgery mp3 (Direct link - click and save)


More recently Ooah's got a wicked little side project on the go called PANTyRAiD. It's a bit more crunk/hip-hop but sounding pretty bad boy. I wanna get my hands on a few of these tunes:

PANTyRAiD's website with streaming audio


They're on Adam Freeland's label Marine Parade for whom the Glitch Mob (Ooah's crew) recently remixed a Evil9 track. Freeland himself has released his latest single for free here, if you sign up to the mailing list:

Radiokijada: Dance music with donkey jaws

Carrying on with the South American animal equestrian type theme I thought this is pretty interesting. Gotan Project have been the soundtrack to many summers and this collaborative project with Peruvian percussionist Rodolfo Munoz sounds sweet. It's called Radiokijada!

llamaleaf: wobble on kids!

Had a wicked night out at Alpha Omega last Friday. Whilst wobbling around to either Luke Porter or Vibrasphere my mate Tom pressed a copy of his new llamaleaf promo into my hand. It's him (llama) and Ash (leaf) from Wobbly Squadron playing some decidedly wonky laidback techno. Get your ears round it here:

You can catch all the wobblers playing their brilliantly energetic blend of psychedelic rock, dub, breaks and jazz next week (18 April) at Inspiral Lounge in Camden.
