"bye now! bye now"

So, a couple of mixes I've had kicking about from the net recently...

Tokimonsta, who's signed to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, is getting praised for her spacey, sometimes glitchy sounding beats - a perfect fit for her label boss IMO. This is an exclusive mix she did for Donky Pitch ahead of her live set in Brighton on the 26th. If you get a chance, check her out you lucky dogs. And can anybody let me know what the beat that kicks in at 7:48 is? I've heard it before and it's bugging me trying to remember what it is exactly...

Something I've been meaning to post about for a minute - this mix from Robot Koch, who I first read about over at Passion of the Weiss, has a reeeeall nice sway to it. Check it out - I played dude's "Death Star Droid" on FLFD the other week there and that has a definite cool vibe behind it. So best get to it, kid. Dude's also done a mix for Brainfeeder - that's cyclical writing, people! Connections!

And THIS has been kicking about on my flash drive for ages - Jimmy Green, he of "what if Dilla produced The Blueprint" fame, giving the greatest voice of all, Marvin Gaye, the once over. This is dope. Don't sleep on it like I did.

The folks at Sonic Router just upped this, and it's definitely worth checking out. Trust me, this is good shit.

SBTRKT - Kaoss

Follow SBTRKT on Twitter and Myspace. And don't forget to listen tonight (11pm-1am), I'll be playing this!

Summer jam!

Shame that summer's nearly over and that I can't be bothered going outside. Oh well. Fool's Gold are cool, though.

Right guys, sorry I disappeared for a couple of days there - hanging with the girlfriend and locking down shifts for work (as well as re-acquainting myself with Battlestar Galactica) took up my time there but I wanted to point you in the direction of this new Rye Rye song, courtesy of the cool folk at Attorney Street. FLFD is in full effect, bringing you the best the net has to offer... or something.

Rye Rye - Rock Off Shake Off

Dope Daft Punk and Santigold samples at the end. Dig it. Don't dig the Myspace page (link above) which just hurts the eyes, so you know MIA designed it- no shots.
