Aaron Frank and Sach O write dope as a tastykake….mix! The following are some of our favorite mixes of the past year in no particular order. If a mix was given out for free, click through for audio, if it was commercially released, click through to buy it. If it was released in another dimension,… Continue reading »
When the ever-discerning Sach caught Sub Swara in February, they earned his staunchest praise. In Son Raw’s words: “think banging mid-tempo beats with an array of eastern influences. Melding Indian instrumentation to the block rocking beats of the RUN DMC era, the crew was a refreshing change of pace, coming off like a funhouse New… Continue reading »
It’s A Vandal Ting! Deep Dubstep And Dark Funk by Son Raw on Mixcloud Sach O’s evil twin Son Raw has no respect for property values. Oh yeah, you didn’t think it was over, did you motherfuckers? You didn’t think you could get through another season without Son Raw dropping some more bassweight on all… Continue reading »
All Your Bass 3: Montreal Sunset Mix by Son Raw on Mixcloud While Jeff supplicates the Gods of coffee and cannabis in a heroic attempt to track down Stoney Jackson, I’m slinking around Montreal’s Mutek festival as Resident Advisor’s newest Canadian correspondent. For those who don’t know, Mutek is North-America’s premier experimental Electronic Music Festival… Continue reading »
Cover By Dan Love Artifacts, the debut solo record from San Antonio producer Aether, was last year’s most underrated beat record. Come list time (it finished at a too-low #46), I claimed that few artists were as accurately defined by their name. In Greek myth, Aether is the personification of space and heaven, and Diego… Continue reading »
While Jeff, Zilla and the LA crew recover from what was surely an epic night of madness, debauchery and incredibly dope music in LA, I console myself with the thought of back to back DJ sets from DJ Premier and Pete Rock in Montreal tonight. The promoters are billing it as “The Hip-Hop event of… Continue reading »
Last year’s “Death Star Droid” established Robot Koch’s reputation as one of the most gifted producers in the bass music world. Incorporating warped Dubstep, stoned Low End Theory drum machines, and a readiness to assimilate hip-hop sample culture in a subgenre occasionally overly cold and digital, Koch’s funkiness belies his mechanical moniker. With his love… Continue reading »
OK, first thing’s first: who the fuck is Son Raw? That would be me, the artist/hack formerly known as DJ Sach. The story goes like this, many moons ago when I was a young pup getting behind my first pair of 1200s, I needed a DJ name. In the folly of youth, I thought about… Continue reading »

Download: ZIP: DJ Sach – Farewell Def Jux Mix (Left-Click) At first, the demise of indie rap powerhouse Definitive Jux left me… indifferent. That’s probably not the nicest way to start off a tribute post but it’s the truth. After a stunning early run of back to back classics, the label’s mid-decade expansion, loss of… Continue reading »
As if Sach O needed an excuse to use that album cover. I’m feverish and in need of chicken soup so I’ll keep the commentary down to a minimum: I hosted a fairly chaotic holiday party a week ago which involved a substantial sound system from Moog Audio, considerable quantities of illicit substances and over… Continue reading »
