Son Raw was going to slam that shitty Rusko X Cypress Hill song, but what’s the point? Jeff was a bit optimistic yesterday in describing Electronic Music’s current forward drive as there’s more than enough nostalgia for yesterday’s futurism to go around these days. Much like it’s ancestor Jungle, Dubstep evolved so ridiculously fast that… Continue reading »

For those in the dark, Dublab is Los Angeles’ finest non-profit radio station and arguably its best broadcasting outlet extant. It’s the local analog of Rinse FM in London and regularly features sets from among others, Daedelus, Gaslamp Killer, and Kutmah. This week, they’re having their Proton Fundraising Drive in order to raise funds to… Continue reading »

Mix: Thom Yorke on the BBC 6

Had I known that Thom Yorke would celebrate the dawn of his 43rd year by spinning a two hour BBC set brimming with Badu and Madlib, Tony Starks instrumentals, Kevin Martin, PJ Harvey, and Autechre, I would probably have been an obnoxious Radiohead fan boy all along. Maybe I changed. Maybe Thom Yorke changed. Maybe… Continue reading »

Call Ins & Hobbs

For those of you who don’t diligently monitor the Mixcloud miasma (“normals”) Mary Anne Hobbs has been dropping more gems than Prodigy and Havoc robbing a gold mine without a wheelbarrow. I’m not sure what that last sentence means, but I intended it to mean, a lot. Needless semantic complications. Below, check four of the… Continue reading »

Radio Daze: Music Response w/ Mary Anne Hobbs (9/6/11)

About two weeks ago, Mary Anne Hobbs asked me if I had any interest in being a monthly contributor on her new Music Response program on XFM London. On general principle, I opt to never use Friends analogies, but the request reminded me of the episode where Chandler is trapped in an ATM vestibule with… Continue reading »

Sach O: Oneman X Loefah @ Rinse.FM

Sach O shouldn’t accept gigs where he’s paid in drinks. Bla Bla Bla best DJ in the world. Bla Bla Bla owner of UK Bass’ most forward thinking label and Dubstep originator. Yada Yada Yada going back to back on the world’s best radio station. Honestly, there’s only so many ways I can describe how… Continue reading »

Sach O: Jacques Greene invades London

Sach O’s all about some hardcore (yeah he likes it raw) I’m a little torn here. Against all odds, Jacques Greene manages to rescue straight-up deep House, a genre of music I’ve always identified with jet-setting human beings best not urinated on in cases of spontaneous combustion, and pushes it into a bass music framework.… Continue reading »

Sach O: Ninety Three Mixtape + Rinse

Sach O found this via Oneman’s Tumblr. I’ll be the first to admit that musicians losing it over other musicians’ technical prowess is annoying as fuck. Guitar mags, rappers discussing breath control and anything with the prefix “prog” stand as sufficient proof. But Cot-Damn, Oneman can mix. As a DJ, whenever I hear this guy… Continue reading »

Sach O: Joe Nice, Bob Marley & Sunday Morning Stella

Sach O shouldn’t mix drinks. Even I who usually abhor the sporting life, am gearing up to watch the big game as soon as I ward off last night’s hangover but at the risk of being contrarian, I’ll avoid posting anything “Black and Yellow” related here lest I incur the wrath of Zeus. Besides, did… Continue reading »
