Win a limited edition Paul White album!
Its no secret we’re huge fans of both Paul White and his label One-Handed Music, whose releases have been consistently excellent to date. So, to celebrate the release of Paul’s excellent new album “The Strange Dreams of Paul White” we thought we’d shake down the label for one of the deluxe copies of the album that comes in a screen-printed pillowcase. All you need to do is this: email us the name of one other artist on One-Handed Music, sending your entry to paulwhitecontest@rhythm-incursions.com. That’s it. Simple eh? Deadline for entries is Friday, 5th June.
If you’ve not heard Paul’s album, head over to his excellent Bandcamp page where you can preview all tracks on the spot. I’d also recommend you check his other releases, where you can buy both digital downloads (on a very fair “name your price” basis) and CD copies if you prefer.
Oh and someone was saying to me the other day that he never enters contests because he never thinks he’ll win. Now, not to give too much away here, but trust us, the entries for this aren’t as huge in number as you’d think, so your chances of winning are excellent indeed. Go!
In The Studio with Murderbot
March 17, 2009 by Mr Trick
Filed under Guest Presenters, Podcast, Presented by Mr Trick
I’m not saying organising some studio time with Mashit alumnus, Dead Homies and Sleazetone owner and all-round nice guy Murderbot took a long time, but seriously I think Anti-Pop Consortium have split, done solo LPs and reformed in the time its taken to come together. Goddamn!
So: whilst on his latest European tour, we finally got him in (when he should have been in court defending a $24k lawsuit, no less) for some time to take us through his favourite tracks of late, including a good few teasers from his own very excellent Sleazetone label. Taking in juke tracks, horn-led junglism and even some UR, this is a fine step inside the man’s mind…

DJ ZedVantz – Records I Stole From Rhythm Incursions
January 8, 2009 by Mr Trick
Filed under Guest Mixes, Podcast
Its a new year and we all need the pickup. Good thing then that ZedVantz is here with just what you need… Fresh from his awesome Turntable Jazz mix that we aired last year, we got an email in our inbox just a couple of days ago with this – a mix we’d describe as “the mother of all pick-me-ups”. Not content with delivering some killer audio though, ZedVantz also enclosed a comic that is, quite frankly, stunning. More of that in a second though…
Flipping from hook to hook like a gazelle, on this mix ZedVantz drops all those riffs you know and love. Now some would think this would mean you listening thinking “heard it…”, but we’re talking about CLASSICS here dammit. At Rhythm Inc Towers that had one effect: we all got smiling and hopping about the place. Sublime, and just the thing to blow away the cobwebs of January and get you screaming “HELLS YEAH – BRING IT ON!!!”
And now the comic. We can’t say enough to big this up, so let’s just show it in full eh?
Records he stole:
1. Marlena Shaw – California Sou (Diplo Rmx)
2. A-ko – Untitled
3. Joey Beats – Truth Be Told
4. Metaform – Urban Velvet
5. Cut Chemist – The Garden
6. Blend Crafters – Bad Luck Blues
7. Shoes – Afta Lafta
8. Mophono – Groovin Skip On Beat
9. Ghostface Killah – Daytona 500 (PZ Iron Lung Rmx)
10. Bob James – Nautilus (Shoes Rmx)
11. Palov & Mishkin – Oscar Boot Jr
12. Pablo – Record Shop (INTERLUDE)
13. Edan – Sing It Shitface
14. Prince Paul – You Made Me
15. Dudley Perkins – Flowers
16. Daedelus – Aplomb
17. Buck 65 – You Know The Science

Exclusive: Carlo – φ 2
December 12, 2008 by Mr Trick
Filed under Guest Mixes, Podcast
Heeeeeeeeee’s back! As promised by the man himself, here is the second installment of Carlo’s φ (pronounced “Phi”) series. Missed the first one? Where were you, under a bush?! Here’s what Carlo said then about the series:
The general idea with this mix is to play edits of songs I find particularly interesting/engaging/inspiring that did not yet get the recognition I think they deserved. As with “Vol. 888″, the idea is not to mix songs according to tempo, but rather according to tuning and feel, in the high-school-mix-tape-for-your-girl fashion. And no, once again, there will be no tracklist, but feel free to drop me a line if you need specific info about a track…I’ll see what I can do. Massive thanks to everyone that spread the word about any of my releases, as well as those that bought my music…There’s a bunch more coming your way. Final thanks go to the Rhythm Incursions extended family, for allowing me to contribute to this constant, impressive musical output. Epic.
We love Carlo. We love his mixes. We REALLY loved Phi 1. And trust us, we’re loving Phi 2… possibly even more. Now: GO GET SOME.

Site relaunched!
Our new site is now live! Well, we say “live”… its nearly there but we have some reorganising to do still, so please bear with us while things move about a bit and get it all in order. The main change is the front page, where we now have the rather snazzy Featured Shows section, as well as our new Featured Video which will allow us to get all AV on your ass with some videos of tracks we’re loving. Overall though the layout is the main alteration, with what we hope will be a more engaging experience for you lovely users, along with improved formatting on articles too. The redesign also comes as part of a wider strategy to link the various shows run by Motive Unknown, namely Turntable Radio and Mr Trick and Wrongtom, and have each show operating with its own website that shares this layout.
How do you like it so far though? Tell us below!
Joe Beats: back with your November installment!
November 9, 2008 by Mr Trick
Filed under Guest Presenters, Podcast
I can’t lie: its always a pleasure when I get an email from Joe saying “here’s the next show”. Why? Because I can’t second-guess what he’s going to deliver, and I like that. The first show he did as a permanent presenter for us threw in some real curveballs; blues and soul that I thought only I tended to listen to regularly. This time around, Joe steps up with an admirable show theme, celebrating the unsung heroes of modern soul music; those singer/songwriters who tend to fly under the radar but who are capable of delivering music every bit as nice as those classic soul years of the 60s and 70s.
Rhythm Incursions: November 08

Its a weird time people: here in the UK the population seems to be cutting its time between shitting its pants about the state of the economy and screaming “BURN THE WITCH!!!” in response to some mildly offensive radio moment, whilst in the States people quake at the prospect of The Bradley Effect putting yet another Republican asshole in power and all of us turn yet another blind eye to more human tragedies elsewhere. Panic indeed. So, here’s our offering: another show from my good self to soothe stressed souls as the world burns*.
