Knowledge for DUBLAB

This young soundscape architect has been doing his thing with my very meager support since the jump, and it was truly a dream to see him rocking the hell out of the west coast this past February. The allmighty DUBLAB was one of his stops along the way and he blessed the studio with this hour long set.

this shit-eater compiled this mix of new and old original beats for BBC´s Mary Anne Hobbs a few months back. you might recognize some of the tunes but there should be a few cuts you haven´t heard

Samiyam – BBC mix for Mary Anne Hobbs

sorry, no tracklist

also, towards the end of the mix you get a niece piece of Zomby´s BBC mix, don´t sleep on this deranged beat-head either.

GLK for BBC

and another one…

The Gaslamp Killer – ‘Intro’
Lorn – ‘Unreleased’
Kode 9 Ft. The Space Ape – ‘Nine Samurai’
Bar 9 – ‘Untitled Symphony’
Bar 9 – ‘Murda Sound’
Caspa – ‘Oh R Ya?’
Mike Jones – ‘Still Tippin’
Trick Daddy – ‘Shut Up’

everything from the theme to Seven Samurai to spanish burial music, it should go without saying that this guy is nuts.

if you’re in So Cal, be sure to catch this guy and the rest of the gang terrorizing one of the tents at Coachella.

He was down.

Brotha_There

where?

(((OVER_THERE_SOMEWHERE)))

Ras_Genius had this mix in physical form for sale a few summers ago and now thanks to MatthewDavid’s LEAVING RECORDS, it’s a free download. If you like this and the last mix Young_G hooked y’all up with, you know what time it is, Brotha From Anotha Planet is on sale already on iTunes and through Warp’s Bleep store.

This is the future, past and present y’all. Act accordingly.

Teebs

what to say about yung Teebs?

the southern Cali skater kid turned beatmaker turned painter has been making the most interesting beats I’ve heard in a while, filled with emotion, movement and a vibe very much it’s own.

of course I’d never tell him this myself.

also, like many progressive new talents, Teebs’ buzz is a little louder outside overseas. Mary Anne Hobbs snatched the young’n up for a mix on her very popular, very dope BBC mixshow.

Teebs – MaryAnneHobbs BBC mix

teebs- arthurs birds
teebs- humming birds
flying lotus- into infinity loop
( ( my hollow drum ) )
teebs –  WLTA
vara –  rotting daisies
teebs – goodbye
teebs- my whole life
teebs – why like this
dimlite – bad dad nr. 2 (kitchen table version)

Look out for an official Teebs release through FlyLo’s Brainfeeder imprint

*sigh*

i don’t usually like to indulge in negativity on here, but some rappers are just too entertainingly stupid.

if for some reason you don’t know by now, let Kenny fill you in.

shout out to Black Spade! cop his album!

if anything let’s make sure Spade is the one that wins on the media attention out of this clusterfuck.
