Sasqwax – Sleeprs EP1
I've had a bit of a hankering for some experimental hip hop of late but the stuff I like seems to have been thin on the ground. Then as if by magic king of the beats Pete SasQwax dropped a new EP. I worked with Pete a few years ago under his Waxfactor identity, when he delivered [...]
Rone – Bye Bye Macadam
I love this track and had completely forgotten about it until a friend posted a live version on Facebook this morning. The post reminded me that the video for Bye Bye Macadam is amazing. Something which is hardly unexpected considering Rones background in film, how closely he seems to be involved with Vice's "The Creators Project", [...]
Henry Pope – Root Society 2012
A litle while ago a mix landed in my inbox from Henry Pope, that despite really liking i could never quite find the appropriate moment to blog it. Thankfully today a new mix by Henry arrived, which is his set from Burning Man. In all seriousness, i'm blogging this because it's a cracking energetic listen [...]

Økapi & Aldo Kapi Orchestra Opera Riparata – Tribute to Bruno Munari
Lastly i wanted to get a post up about this project by Italian turntablist Økapi. Dropping on the frankly brilliant Illegal Art label it's a project that is incredibly hard to get across in words, so bear with me. Økapi & Aldo Kapi have taken the Fixed opera concept by Bruno Munari and reworked 40 [...]
Tweezer – Stray
One of the nice things about running a blog is that you get sent a lot of music, sometimes so much it's difficult to keep up with it. Sometimes it's gash, and sometimes it's brilliant, most of the time it's average with a ton of Label hyperbole behind it. This week I'm going to feature [...]
