Early June, Toronto’s Jesse Futerman will once again emerge from the ‘Super Basement’ with another collection of dusty, soulful, and sample based funk and jazz tracks. On his forthcoming “Fuse The Witches” EP, Jesse introduces a brighter and more jovial palette of samples this time around but still remains as obscure and laid back as [...]

Out today on the Mad Decent free/web/sub-label JefFrees, Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” is that tune that has been ringing in your head since it’s beastly lean made an appearance in Rustie’s Essential Mix the other month. It is that tune that has you freaking out in your office chair and standing in attention at the club…. [...]

Oh yes, those crazy Germans, Schlachthofbronx, absolutely blew me away when they played at Toronto’s favorite Chinese Restaurant based and Dim Sum fueled club night, Happy Endings, last month. With an array of equipment and toys ranging from an MPC to CDJ’s to Air Horns, these guys came ready to party and from where I was [...]

Atlanta based producer Distal is a bit of an anomaly in the dubstep/bass world of the storied Tectonic Recordings Label. Having only begun producing within the last few years, Distal certainly doesn’t come from the same cut as Tectonic’s usual suspects….he’s not British, wasn’t deep in the dubstep world back in 03-07, and didn’t do [...]

Soothing tropical garage vibes throughout this release from the Phuture Shock Musik imprint. Lostlojic‘s “She’s Special” features some airy skittering drums laid over a bed of vinyl crackle and layered vocal samples (pretty sure I can hear an Aaliyah moan in there). Gorgeous after party/lazy sunday tracks on this original. For remixes OPR8 gets a [...]

For fans of Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, Lunice, Slick [...]
