actress

I'm addicted to the production style of Darren "Actress" Cunningham. Recent effort "Ghosts Have a Heaven" is a stand-out example. Rob Hood, Jeff Mills (and others in the D) should be proud their reach extends into the South London boroughs.

Recent FACT Magazine interview.

Here's an Actress remix I've got steady locked (on repeat).

ku ku bass

They've been saying 'summer' for a release on this one since March. We're still up for it, although the time between the initial 'leak' and an actual (preferably vinyl) release is getting a bit much (what happened to just dropping records and letting the public catch up, instead of just hyping them for months, letting mediocre DJs cane mp3 copies to death?).

This track is so summer it hurts. We wants it.


ZAKEE KUDURO feat. ANBULEY
"Sane Eba"

Check out ZAKEE and tell him to put the damn record out.

heads up display

New mix from HANG UP DJ. Rhythms hovering just outside that London sphere some may call 'Dubstep', or be adventurous enough to call 'Funky'. People with their ears open, and heads up, place little stock in labels. What we can say for certain is that, if played properly, there will be waves of varying frequencies coming out your speakers, many of them in the extreme lower frequencies, and you may feel as though you are in a different place. Staying in the vicinity of 128 to 138 beats per minute, the mix style here is referred to as 'busy' and is recorded live, which may be hectic for certain listeners. This recording also has actual dynamic range, and is possibly best listened to in the dark; whether in a fast moving vehicle, or performing what some may call 'bubbling' on a dance floor.

The tracklist should illuminate things slightly. But again, the best bits happen in the mix. Enjoy.

Angkor Wat

I'm posting an old tune ('98) from Underground Resistance affiliate DJ Dex. This track, like most UR productions, has aged rather well:
DJ Dex "Angkor Wat"


Found this interview with 'Mad' Mike Banks on the internets. HUD samples this on Part 2 of the PLEASE HANG UP mix series. So many great sentences in there. "High-tech this inner-city mindset" is an all-time favorite. With German subtitles!
Watch / Listen:


*Volume 2 of the "PLEASE HANG UP" series is on its way. Get the first part below.

Please Hang Up

Just finished listening to a new mix from HANG UP DJ. What can I say? Classics alongside some '09 pressure. Styles range from dub-laden, techno influenced steppers, to tracks some might call 'funky', and sounds in between. It's all held together by vintage telephone recordings and some great mixing. High quality 320 kbps. 64 minutes.

Words from HUD:
"Made this at my spot in Hackney (London). As James Stinson once said of music , 'It's nothing to talk about'. Started this mix without any destination in mind. Just picked tracks I felt like hearing today. Mixing is a little fast and rugged, but I like it like that. New jacks, relax. It's love, you know the steez. Just a DJ beating some records. Timeless. Look out for part two. Enjoy."

joker

DL: JOKER, a producer from Bristol, had a massive tune with "Snake Eater". I'm not sure if the title is a video game reference on the sly, or an unknowing nod to espionage in a bygone era of gully spies (dude has a screenshot from TRON on his myspace, realness). Huge tune. Wait til' HOT 97 gets hold of this one. Seen what this tune can do on on a proper system, in the dance. Snake Eater should be bought swiftly here or here.

But I'm feeling the b-side selection, another tune I'd love to hear while out in London (hint - this one sounds live on vinyl bluud).

Grimey for the win:
JOKER - "Grimey Princes":

DL: HERE.
Joker and Nomad are doing it with Mumdance and Jammer on Saturday (Cargo, London):

More not-really lists and a mixtape on the way. Technology issues to resolve first.

not really a list pt. 1

We at Bodymusik would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to George Bush for accomplishing NONE of the dubious items on his list (although a US invasion of Canada would be grand).

Alas, we also missed the "best of 2008" list deadline (by several weeks). We were in Brooklyn messing around and blogging was the farthest thing from our minds. Well, hopefully the quality here makes up for being unfashionably late (where do you blog heads find the time?). So, with no rhyme no reason (i.e. no order), straight from East London, here's part 1 of our year's highlights from the bodymusik camp.

1.
We start with a release from this year (ha switched it up on you, list maker crazies), from another Bristol Wunderkind (I see you Joker) via Germany. SCLIST has put out one of the first 'dubstep' records of the year that deserves some chatter. You can hear the Berlin, Basic Channel, dub-tech influence through and through. I'm putting up the title track (although the Phaeleh remix is also on-point) :

SCLIST - "Darkroom":
***removed by artist's request***

2.
Offshore records put out this little flip featuring a Starkey remix of a big tune called "Lilyliver", originally by Darkstar (on 2010 records). While I'm a fan of the original version, the Starkey remix has some layers that the original lacks. In the tradition of Pinch , this vocal track keeps it moving:

Darkstar - "Lilyliver" (Starkey remix):



3.One would have to be whacked not to include Mr. Steven Ellison (aka Flying Lotus) and his album "Los Angeles" in their '08 lists. We're going with a remix of the song "Camel" by Nosaj Thing.

Flying Lotus - "Camel" (Nosaj Thing remix):



4. Does anyone answer unknown numbers, ever? When I see the "Private Caller" flash on my phone, I'm singing out this tune from Busy Signal, then it's going to voicemail.

Busy Signal - "Unknown Number":





5.Matt Shadetek, Jace Clayton (DJ / Rupture), and crew have a label called Dutty Artz that puts out what they describe as "New York Tropical", and it's proper. It's tough for me to choose a track from this label, as I'm partial to quite a few ("Can't Breathe" remix anyone?). Since I played "Go Round Payola" to DEATH, here's a remix of Iron Shirt, "I Gave you all my Love", Shadetek on production featuring Jahdan Blakkamoore. Oh, and buy Rupture's fully sanctioned (serious) mix "Uproot", he deserves your G-backs, your P's, and most definitely your €'s. You can get it from Amazon as well for like $9 or something ridiculous.

Iron Shirt - "I Gave You All My Love" (Matt Shadetek remix):

hyperdub

Recent track I like from Zomby called "1 UP":


DL: HERE

Also, on the off-kilter UK bass music tip, I'm excited for the new Joker record, "Digidesign" (or is it called "Purple Funk"?). I hope Hyperdub provides the usual quality control, and that it's as fresh sounding as what I've heard so far. And Joker, when is "Do It" coming to vinyl?

Happy New Year

Was in NYC for the Holidays. Check the Knicks seats. Nate Robinson = force of nature. Unrelated after-party action hosted by Q-Tip and Darryl (DMC) McDaniels. That night was a lot. Ah New York, we'll be back soon.
