Greymatter Remix EP + bumpin' bloggery

I first stumbled across the name "Greymatter" on the Jus Like Music "Oscillations" compilations - as spoken about earlier in the scroll - with the track "Too Much". Dig that one outta yer archives to take the taste test...

Anyway, so Greymatter have a series of remix EPs on the go - the first featured mixes from the likes of the Romanian cosmonaught TRG and fresh 3024 lieutenant Illum Sphere. This one comes correct with stonking shuffles from another 3024 camp member and Hyperdub Illuminati...actually he just rules. Definitely my favourite of the forward-thinking, onward-moving funky soldiers: Altered Natives. African? vocals glide over broken funky beats...something for the clubs this winter I think!

Also featuring on this particular package is Mr Lager, with a smooth mix of "We Are One". This beat is reminicent of Mr Lager's style - remember his tune on Subfreq, "Tell Me"? Lovely hihat work pushes this tune through it's paces, and the percussion energises it so there is little doubt how well it would work on a (perhaps more educated) dancefloor.

Also a lovely house reworking of "Raw Root" from Klic - my house music spidey sense isn't as strong as it could be but I think it's choice...more on house later. It's a goodie.

"I love these remixes" - DJ Marky (BBE / BBC Radio 1)
"Brilliant! Full support!" - Simbad (Raw Fusion / G.A.M.M.)
"The Altered Natives remix is sick!" - Brackles (Planet Mu / Blunted Robots)
"Strong release from Greymatter" - Kidkanevil (First Word)

(Nice work of the external quoting there I thought!)

Even more fortuitously, you can pick up the Throwing Snow remix FREEEEEEEE from the Jus Like Music Bandcamp. Shot fullas.

This EP lands next monday...pick it up from everywhere you like to buy music - vinyl and digital will be swimming over the airwaves this time next week...(I Expect.)

Given the obsession with Burning Man, it wasn't too hard to give the Wolf + Lamb chaps a listen. These two New York types changed their music direction entirely upon visiting the desert for the first time, and now that week on playa is what influences them most throughout their year. I guess I can understand what they mean! Anyway, deep house and minimal techno...worthwhile listens - being the fan I am of afterhours parties and the fascination with the deep music one exposes oneself to there, this stuff really grabbed me.

Check out the Disorient Deep Playa mix, and the 2009 Afterhours series...

Righto, fun have.

Another Free Album

Alright, so the ID and Baobinga behemoth was ballistically bangin' and buckwild, well, I found another free album, ironically linked from the very cool bassmusicblog where the Binga & ID beats originated...how gloriously convoluted!

Anyway, here it is, one of the wickedest in wonky, worry-free wonderful warthogs I've come across. Download it for free. Beats from that man Om Unit again, Le N?ko, T. Hemingway...gosh it really does just go on.

Also incoming is the crazy, strange, weird and wonderful combination of Gonjasufi - A Sufi & A Killer. Pitchfork had this to say on the matter...

And, looking a little deeper, I found you can get free download of their track "Ancestors", at the Warp Music site here. The Realness!

And because, whats a blog post without a video, I bring you this:



If you find yourself in the Pacific Northwest for the NZ winter, then make sure you keep an eye on Photosynthesis Festival...this may or may not be related to the above vid...

Shouts to Patricio for the Raglan fest, big up all the crew who made it down...shit I hate to think when the next outdoor frivolity may be...might have to head south for a bit of mid winter psy! (couldn't find any decent quality videos...take my word for it)

What am I going to do today? get deep into some free music at the free music archive...linked is the Polka section...
