Thanks to Ms. JT for tipping me off to this! Thom Yorke, Burial and Four Tet collaborate on a surprise new 12″ that is being released on March 21st on Four Tet’s own label, Text. While much of the world is probably most excited about the Thom Yorke involvement, I’m personally more excited about another [...]
So some friends and I went to check out dubstep-garage-IDM-drum and bass-leftfield-anything goes man of the moment, New York’s FaltyDL for a “live” performance at Wrongbar in Toronto (most kickin’ soundsystem in the city for a small venue). I didn’t know what to expect, but my expectations were high considering his Bravery ep, full length album Love is a Liability [...]

What can I say that has not been said already? 2009 was a great year for music! I kept discovering new tracks, new artists, and most importantly, new sounds to my ears that made me excited about music again and again and again. I’m pretty bad at coming up with yearly “best of” lists since [...]

How have 10 years gone by so fast? Wasn’t it just last week that we were stashing away emergency rations in our basements, getting all ready for the apocalypse (aka Y2K)? This past decade was an interesting one for me because 2000 marked the actual year that I really began my increasing transition from guitars [...]

urbansteve here, hoping you’re not all “listed out” from other blogs and sites. 2009 treated us with loads of amazing tracks, remixes, full-length albums, compilations, re-issues and Dj mixes. This is my attempt to sort through some of my favourite gems of 2009. Favourite tech/dubstep tracks (title-artist-label): History of the Sun (Agnes remix) – Dana Ruh [Perspectiv] listen [...]

Beautiful and haunting (as always) new Burial track that comes to us from the new Hyperdub compilation 5: 5 Years of Hyperdub. Also on this comp are Joker, Flying Lotus, Kode9, Martyn, The Bug, and many others. I definitely want this! Here’s the Flying Lotus track that appears on the comp: -MissRuckus

New 2-track single featuring a collaboration between Burial and Four Tet. I am wanting this on vinyl! Pretty easy (maybe) to guess which parts were contributed by Four Tet and which by Burial… (July 6th update: Scored it on vinyl!) Moth: Burial & Four Tet – Moth (TEXT06) by RED7 Wolf Cub: -MissRuckus
