James Blake


James Blake, 2011 is his year. I Just pre ordered his highly anticipated album which should drop in February, and judging by his most recent single "The Wilhelm Scream",it is going to be something special.

His minimalistic/ambient take on dubstep, has made him one of the most in demand producers/Dj's and vocalists in electronic music. After bubbling in the underground for a few years, he burst onto the main stage when his cover of Feists Limit To Your Love hit the waves and made all take notice, including Zane Lowe from BBC Radio One who highlighted it in his "Hottest Record In the World" show. The world is now his oyster.


A true breath of fresh air amongst today's over populated market.

Computer speakers wont do justice as there is alot of loooowwwwwwwww bass in his works.

Songs on Tuesday!


Been abit slack on the posts lately, none the less heres a bunch of good tracks.

This has been floating around my itunes for sometime now,and always seems to have the same effect of me.Belgian duo Voltronixx are known to blow a speaker or 2 (as are many other Belgians).But what they have done on this track is Fucking amazing. An absolute belter of an electro track that somehow manages to make you want to just jump off the edge of a cliff and start flying like an eagle.No Shit!

Voltronixx-Spilled Time YESSSS!
One of the most hyped artists of 2010 was undoubtedly James Blake.His futuristic dub sounds on the "CMYK" Ep recieved him worldwide praise and even managed to score him 8th place on Pitchforks best albums of 2010 (Not to shabby for a 4 song ep).
I definitely put him high up on the list alongside similar artists like Flying Lotus & Teebs. His debut full length is due out in February.Cop That!

James Blake -Cmyk

The party never stops with Dirtybird,their bouncy take on tech-house is unmatched.
Claude Vonstroke and Christian Martin keep tradition going strong here.Try Not to dance to this one.

A guy named Tiga, quite the esteemed electronic music connoisseur recently put out a December podcast where he shows some new music he has been digging. During this podcast "It" band Azari and III (also from Tigas Turbo imprint) get a remix from New York native Nicolas Jaar, who has been turning some heads as of late. Such a simple looped piano sequence gives this song a whole new direction.

Not too familiar with this next guy,but this song is ffffucking hot!!! Awesome house music here, with a sprinkle of soul and a dark grooving bassline that comes in at around 1:15.

Russ Yallop -I cant wait

And lastly, abit more of some experimental stuff. In my opinion one of the best albums released in 2010 was Gold Pandas Lucky Shiner, there was alot of hype behind this release and in my opinion it lived all the way up to it.Taking glitchy samples and infusing some pop elements I think this was the best track on the album.
Oh yeah, and he is currently touring Australia.

Gold Panda- You

Yo!
