Galactic Step. Time Flies. It Does.

Published on 2011-09-08 08:24:00

I haven't posted anything for ages. I still seem to be getting visits from the UK and the US (in particular, bizarrely, from California and Texas). I really want to keep discovering and writing about fresh music, however, the activities that I occupy myself with don't seem to leave me with time for much else. The time that I do have seems to vanish into a myst of episodes of The Wire and True Blood. New jobs, domestic dramas and romantic pursuits aside, these are a couple of tracks that have bee [..]

Breach - 'I Need You'

Published on 2011-07-11 03:39:00

This is a naughty tune! Forming the dubstep/house hybrid sound, 'I Need You', by Breach (aka Ben Westbeach, I believe), is full of frantic energy. This is coming out on Dirtybird Records and follows on from his previous release, 'Fatherless', which is below, along with the VIP!Happy Mondays.1

The Grizzl & J. Phlip - Bakupgrl (Grizzl Detroit Dub)

Published on 2011-07-10 13:30:00

I was delighted to come across a podcast of a recent Rinse FM show by Claude VonStroke (my hero). On this show he dropped a ridiculously heavy, techy, booty-shaking number called "Bakupgrl", which he co-produced with J.Phlip, under his The Grizzl alias.. BOOOOOM..Here is some more!1

Nocow and Sleepyhead

Published on 2011-07-10 12:45:00

Two unbelievably amazing and beautiful pieces of music are echoing in my thoughts. One is regretfully sorrowful and the other is bright and euphoric, yet both are undoubtedly inspired by the irritatingly elusive - yet satisfyingly mysterious - Burial. I have come across several artists producing such a sound, which has certainly become a complete genre in it's own right now (aptly tagged in one instance as 'stoned' 'garage'), and one that you can truly loose yourself in. Nocow and Sleepyhead are [..]

I remember Grooverider dropping this on Radio 1, so long ago. 'Sigma' by Blame of 720. So old, yet so pure and unbelievably futuristic, as if made tomorrow. I love that this ish might clear a floor. The beats are complex. The sounds are exquisite and
