CHST015 Sleeper- A. Zombies AA. Scanners


Some dark chestplate business from newcomer Sleeper.  Due for promo release on the 9th of January on Distance's chestplate imprint.  "Scanners" creates space with Sleepers use of reverb signifying a sense of the foreboding unknown.  "Zombies" uses chanting pads and a heavy weight bass creating something similar to the original stripped down style.  Sorry about the watermarks on the tracks but it's the only way you can listen to an almost full version.  With the purchase of chestplate vinyls you also recieve a digital release and with this one they're offering Sleeper's 'Narrow'.  What nice people www.surus.co.uk/chestplate.

Soul Intent- Hurt Me (Project 51)

Nottingham's Soul Intent has been hard at work and we can expect this to be released in early 2012.  Great vision on this track the combination of deep bass and snarling synths is beautifully contrasted against uplifting female vocals.

ACLBL001 Presk and Cinnamon 'Sweat'

Usually wouldn't add clips but this tune is sick.  Bass driven bounce from dutch producers Presk and Cinnaman. "The B-side features two expertly remixed and uniquely different takes on the original, courtesy of none other than Instra:mental's Jon Convex and Ten Thousand Yen head honcho Doc Daneeka"

Jman & Gravity (Produced by Pulsar) - Two Sides Of The River


A sick collab between two of the most prolific MCs in the southwest.  Interesting to hear Jman & Gravity demonstrating their lyrical lineage on Pulsar's grime beat after dominating bass music nights in the south-west and pursuing their individual hip-hop projects.  Some crazy metaphors and references going on here.  Big up!  Enjoy the HD video.

Free Truth download- The world is spinning


Meant to post this the other day.  Something of a sinister bro-step nursery rhyme.  Not to keen on this one to be honest (but its free!).  The tune may be full of filthy fart sounds but there's hope for a remix as the intro is sick.

15 Years of Hospital Documentary: Skulls, Spaceships and Playmobil

Unsure about this one, not really about the music; main theme throughout the doc concerns itself with design and image.  Would have preferred for them to have talked about some of the tracks that have really stood out on the label over the years.  Still worth a watch.

[502004] Desto & Jimi Tenor 'Eightfold Path'/ Desto, Clouds & Jimi Tenor ft. Cha Cha 'Time Bird'


Two new tracks from DJ Oneman's 502 label.  Producers Desto & Clouds and flutist Jimi Tenor collaborate to create 'Time Bird'. Desto & Clouds combine Cha Cha's beautiful Chinese vocals (I thought they sounded french at first) with down-tempo beats, atmospheric synths and Jimi Tenor's unique flute licks. 
The flute theme continues in 'Eightfold Path'.  The backbone of 'Eightfold Path' is created through a bass driven pulse; the flutes floating melody drives the tune and its combination with string echoes provides a sense of nervous suspense.  Its amazing what results can be achioeved when people from different musical backgrounds put their heads together.  Weird videos...
Out on the 28th of November.

Data "Making simple things complex"- New Track


"Making simple things complex" has been on the production line for the last two years.  Data has added a new track to his sound cloud "Laid bare". Data continues to complicate the simple; "Laid bare" combines snarling layered bass, beautifully melodic synth overtones and powerfully emotive vocals. The other 140bpm tracks he has proposed for "Making simple things complex" continue to demonstrate his versatility. "The Fall of Phaeton" is a really mellow track (a world away from his techy dnb); within an instant of hearing the soft claps, glitchy pads and beautiful woodwind all the troubles of your day drift away. Awaiting album completion.  In the meantime listen to these!
