Teebs - Untitled 09

http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=165452290626114351

not really sure where this came from, but if you've been up on the beat scene for the last three years Teebs has been a familiar name. with guest sets on Mary Anne Hobbes (i think he was the first big name to spin Baths' stuff into his sets) and seen billed alongside Take and FlyLo through the last year it seems fairly certain that Teebs rumored album will be out before the new year, and it will be fucking awesome. this album has a nice dreamy element to it alongside the familiar hip-hop beat, with plenty of flavor to fill it out.

Bassnectar - Underground Communication (2007)

classic Bassnectar album. a sweet mix of breakbeats, jungle, hip-hop, and chilled out ambiance. some of it has a dubstep tinge to it, some of it sounds like BreakBeat Kaos drum and bass. give it a listen, it's worth it.

bomb the blocks, don't stop the hustle

Pretty Lights - Making Up a Changing Mind (2010)

“Making Up A Changing Mind” is a collection of six tracks, produced in January and February of 2010. Stylistically I fuse hip-hop production with elements of electro & dubstep, and combine that with the organic timbres and raw feeling of old school soul & funk, to, hopefully channel a number of feelings that pertain to the concept of the EP… "

i wrote a couple different little blurbs for this but they all just sounded like the descriptions on his website, sooo... yeah. you'll dig this guy if you are into acts like VibesquaD and STS9, he sounds pretty similar to VibesqauD, but with the unique and perfectly placed old school soul vocals and classic vinyl-ripped piano riffs.

i'm loooooosing myyyy mind

he also offers all of his music for donations on his website, which is a super chill move for an artist to make

The One A.M. Radio - A Name Writ in Water [2004]

delicious instrumental electronic album, dreamy vocals floating through a haze of glitchy guitar strums and carefully placed drum beats. great for a morning album, or while smoking a fat joint on a summer afternoon

Magnetic Man - I Need Air (2010)

"A lot has been said about Magnetic Man, the trio made up of dubstep's leading lights Skream, Benga and Artwork. It was Artwork who penned the dubstep anthem 'Red,' a tune so ahead of its time the genre didn't yet have a name. He began to mentor two errant teenagers: Benga, who has released two albums and who co-wrote the club hit 'Night,' and Skream, whose anthem 'Midnight Request Line' took the genre to the nation before his remix of La Roux's 'In For The Kill' sent it worldwide."

this shit's pretty dope if you like skream-esque tracks. wicked shit, especially considering skream just dropped 3 free EP's and an album in 2010 already. this album will drop soon undoubtedly.

DMCA'd, no linkz

wecamewithbrokenteeth - You Bitches Couldn't Even Be Who We Was [2007]

this band is making it into the blog for their expert use of a drum machine in a grindcore band. if you like/d hardcore you may fancy this album just for the awesome drumming, which has gone far,far past the usual double-pedal bullshit.

bitch please, i'm a ninja

Theophilus London - I Want You [2010]

a futuristic release by Theophilus London on The Lovers record label in 2010. this dude is like(hmmm...) kinda like, uhhhh, (hmmm...), he's pretty unique. maybe if [[Zupher Blaqq]] and John Legend had a baby and he was on vocals, and the Dam-Funk and Hudson Mohawke made a child and he laid the beats down. futuristic soul funk electronic music with this guy dropping phat rhymes to some of the tracks, then filling the rest with what I assume is his own singing as well as a whole variety of samples. definitely something worth listening to if you are into Spank Rock, Pase Rock, The Cool Kids, etc.

his collab cd with machinedrum is pretty sick too

A Lily - Wake:Sleep [2006]

this is hands down my favorite ambient album of all time. A Lily provides a dreamy soundtrack to a beautiful summer day. reminiscent of other ambient artists, but unique in his placement of glitchy beats, vocal samples, and bpm's that slow down to 50-60 at some times. it makes for a nostalgic listen, reminding you of days at the beach with your family, children laughing and birds above calling down.

lights shone brighter, my delicate sun is my sparklin' sun

Pendulum - Jungle Sound Gold [2006]

one of my favorite mixtapes of all time, jungle sound gold is one of the seminal records that changed the way I thought about electronic music. the heavy handed album throws down jungle/DnB classics from DJ Fresh, Pendulum, Baron, Dillinja(now 12th Planet), Chase&Status, and Adam F. & TKO. classic new school jungle/breakbeat - definitely give a listen to Masochist and Masochist VIP - that keeps everything going fast and heavy. this is a double album, first disc being a set with an MC, second is collected tracks without an MC and the songs are in full.

give it a try.

once i jumped out of the boat and into the jungle, we cranked up the volume and marched to the beat of our own drummer.

Ochre - Like Dust of the Balance [2009]

ochre's 2009 release. somewhat reminiscent of an earlier era of downtempo music this guy keeps the beats around 80-100 bpm the whole time and kinda sounds like Boards of Canada without and scratchy vinyl sounds. very unique in itself though, as the floating vocals and glitchy sounds of what sounds like original field recordings spice up the tracks in an homage to brain pleasing sounds.


a midsummer's nice dream was good too.

Dem Hunger - Caveman Smack [2010]

this is my "i'm pissed off in the morning" music.

fuck off, i'm a mastadon
