Righto. Well this is mostly just going to be links to songs and artists that I'm feeling at the moment and that I think deserve as much exposure as possible.
Enjoy!
For starters, here's the Mike Patton Breezeblock set from a few weeks back. And a damn fine set it was too.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/t5srty
Track listing is -
Odd Nosdam - 'Gun' (Anticon)
Dr. Doom - 'Mental Case' (Funky Ass Records)
Kid Koala - 'Fender Bender' (Ninja Tune)
Amon Tobin - 'Ruthless' (Ninja Tune)
Massive Attack - 'Angel' (Virgin)
Subtle - 'The Long Vein of the Law' (Lex Records)
Jel - 'Sweet Cream It' (White)
Melvins - 'Boris' (Ipecac)
Rahzel ft. Kenny Muhammad - 'The 4 Elements' (All City)
Tabla Beat Science - 'Tala Matrix' (Live from San Francisco)
Willie Bobo - 'Fried Neckbones & Some Home Fries (Dan the Automator remix)' (Verve Records)
Bebel Gilberto - 'Aganju' (Zirigniboom)
Dub Trio - 'Sick I'm Kid' (Reachout International Records)
and here's a link to an interview with Patton and Danny DeVito -

A video of Chef vs Benga @ the last DMZ night. The two tracks are Loefah - Mud & Skream - Tapped.
I've also been really digging on Faith SFX lately. A newish beatboxer from the UK. Check out "Oh My" from his latest 12" which can be pre-ordered from uptown records.
Lastly, Various Production are a coupla dudes who have been very successful at keeping their identities tip top secret. Apparentlyt being chased by labels such as Planet Mu and Warp, their debut album "The World Is Gone" has just been released and it's real next level stuff. As with any truly amazing group, their music is kinda hard to describe and categorise. Some terms to throw around are sublow, post r-n-b, loungey electro, perhaps even a trip-hop feel to it in parts.
Here's the breezeblock show they did from a while back. Big ups Deapoh at barefiles for hosting this. A king amongst men he is indeed.
Track listing -
Various Production - 'Mist' (Various)
