Sach O: L.V. & Joshua Idehen – Routes

Sach O urges you to get on the Orange Line. Martin Clark (AKA Blackdown) really likes London. If the LDN catalogue prefix to his Keysound label wasn’t enough to clue you in, he’s spent the past several years putting out records that have sought to capture English urbanity in its purest form, be it Patois-inflected… Continue reading »

Sach O: Tyler The Creator – Yonkers (Lil Silva remix)

Sach O just wants to boogie to some Pearson. I heard this on Scratcha’s Grimey Breakfast show yesterday but promptly forgot about it after passing out in a hazy stupor. This is what happens when I listen to UK radio at 4AM after watching Zed Bias and Ramadanman absolutely murder their live sets for an… Continue reading »

Son Raw – Sign of the Grime + CIXS

Son Raw is gonna start rocking a mask and hiding out like Burial. The monthly rounds of self-promotion are beginning to get uncomfortable but plug I must; one of the benefits of hiring a DJ with a media platform is that he’ll ostensibly use said media platform to promote your event. False modesty aside however,… Continue reading »

Sach O: Bowly’s MTL X Rinse FM Takeover

Sach O doesn’t watch sports so he roots for the home team musically I’ll start reviewing albums again when I start listening to them and I’ll get that Rinse-Guide up as soon as I finish it (sometime this year hopefully). Until then, here’s some Sunday Morning vibes from Montreal’s Bowly whose recent European tour culminated… 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: 25 UK Bass tracks for the year

Sach O can’t stop believing. Or making lists apparently. These aren’t necessarily the best 25 Bass music tracks of the year since that list would involve all sorts of calculations debating “how they fit in the mix” and other esoteric factors you probably don’t care about. Rather, these are 25 great tracks that stand on… Continue reading »

Sach O: Roska & Untold make it funky

Sach O’s still promoting that Son Raw mix, bruv. There are approximately 765 Bass music shows going down in MTL each week (give or take) and so I try to promote sparingly, reserving praise for the really real. Cartel Thursdays, last mentioned here when bringing in Appleblim, have become favorites of mine, presenting an alternative… Continue reading »

Son Raw – It’s a Vandal Ting! Deep Dubstep & Dark Funk(y)

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 »

Sach O: Redlight ft Ms Dynamite – What you Talkin About?

Best remembered by North-Americans as one of those female British rappers your local alt-weekly forced you to vaguely care about pre-M.I.A (at least she was better than Lady Sovereign!), I was surprised to find that Ms Dynamite actually still holds weight across the pond. The combination of Garage-era nostalgia and Funky’s need for dancehall inflected… Continue reading »

Sach O: Kingdom – That Mystic EP and Fact Mix

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezVNFkGFMUE We usually try to save major posts for the work week but I’m getting ready to bounce for a month on some much needed R&R and felt compelled to big up the new Kingdom EP on Nightslugs before it becomes old news. Hailing from NYC (which apparently still produces music) via Boston, Kingdom’s… Continue reading »
