Son Raw – Goth Trad’s New Epoch

Son Raw really wants to tour Japan one day With New Epoch, Japanese producer Goth-Trad has created a rare beast: an album providing plenty of top-quality DJ-food for selectors that also stands up as a straight-up front to back listen. It’s a tough trick to pull off as the extended intros and breakdowns inherent in… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Araabmuzik – Vocal University

Son Raw was bored so he made this. If aggregating Hulkshare links can be considered “making something.” Newsflash: rap beats almost always sound better when emcees rap over them, so while Araabmuzik’s Instrumental University may be of great interest to aspiring swag rappers from Harlem to Houston Street, there’s not much there for the rest… Continue reading »

Son Raw: SirReal – Subsessions Mix

SirReal – SUB SESSIONS 01/27/2012 by Sirrealnesss on Mixcloud Son Raw bruked out to this one. Upon sending me this, Charlottetown DJ SirReal said he didn’t know if “I was into mixes.” That’s actually a valid line of inquiry – there’s only so many hours in the day and when DJs make up half your… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Guido – Fact 314 Mix

Son Raw is sick. Bring him some soup, damn it. Guido’s 2011 was so quiet that we almost forgot about him after a brilliant debut album. Anidea is still a startling listen, the kind of auteurist release that still stands strong after the fall of its micro-scene and one that undoubtedly justifies Guido’s forthcoming attempt… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Plastician waxes nostalgic

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 »

Son Raw’s most anticipated albums of 2012

Son Raw doesn’t know if all of these will drop this year but he hopes so. Also, Schoolboy Q was supposed to make this list but son dropped his album already. I was right about that one so I’m probably right about these.

Son Raw: Swindle lives for the funk

Shut up! This is Son Raw’s playground. Funk is like porn: you know it when you see/hear it. But while too many acts spend hours upon end noodling with filters and plug ins to make their newest cassette tape sound like background music from a late 80s infomercial, far too few musicians are actually innovating… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Stinkahbell – Switch Up the Gears (Video)

A video for those among us who prefer acid trips to shopping trips and apocalypse raps to designer label name-drops. Light on swag and heavy on low end, please.

Son Raw: HeskHeskHesk reigns Supreme

Son Raw can’t be bought in cash. Maybe in strippers. For those who aren’t keen on my EDM writing, perhaps my close association with Hesk through ventures such as Project Sundays might seem like a conflict of interest – writers shouldn’t be dallying with artists and the such. Insiders will be quick to attest however… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Addison Groove – Sooperlooper

Son Raw is basking in the afterglow of Mala’s live set last night at Igloofest. Soundcloud snippets don’t usually warrant posts around here but Addison Groove’s upcoming release on Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons label isn’t your usual release. As one of the few producers working in England equally adept at deep, sci-fi influenced Dubstep as he… Continue reading »
