[EVENT] Tempo Clash at Corsica Studios
Bit of event news for you to announce that Rhythm Incursions will be repping at an amazing event next Friday, September 23rd, in London at the Corsica Studios in Elephant Castle. The event is organised by Tempo Clash who have recently established themselves as fine purveyors of beats and bass in London with some great free parties at the Rhythm Factory with the likes of Om Unit, Kid Kanevil, King Cannibal and more.
The guys are stepping up their act with their first paying party at Corsica next Friday featuring two rooms of the finest electronic sounds London has to provide and we’re very honoured that we’ve been asked to do a set in room 2 for the occasion, alongside the mighty Seiji and Offshore!
The line up includes Kromestar, Kid Kanevil, Blue Daisy, Slugabed and Naive Machine in room 1 alongside Seiji, Offshore and Laurent in room 2 – you know this is going to be a party to remember.
Full details are below including links to advance tickets which are still available for £7. Regular listeners will be no stranger to any of these artists as we’ve aired and supported their music regularly over the last few years and you can expect to hear some seriously amazing live shows and DJ sets on the night. And if you do come down come say hello!
Big thanks to Open Sauce (who are hosting room 2) and Tempo Clash for the invite!

[MP3] Om Unit vs Kromestar – Merkabah (Moresounds dub)
The homie Om Unit has been busy of late putting the finishing touches to his new label, Cosmic Bridge recordings. We’ve been lucky to get the early info on it and we can confidently say that the first release, a collaborative 12″ between Om Unit and dubstep veteran Kromestar, is going to be making a lot of noise and turning a lot of heads.
Ahead of the 12″ release, Om Unit is giving away a dub of the B-side, Merkabah, by French producer Moresounds. The catch? By downloading it you enter yourself into a prizedraw to win a signed copy of Cosmic Bridge 001 test press. The winners of the competition will be announced on Wednesday next week.
Cosmic Bridge 001 goes on sale monday via the Sirus shop and everywhere else on July 25. You’ll be able to find all relevant purchase links and info on the label site which goes live on monday too.
We’ll be airing tracks from the label on this month’s show and stay tuned for more info on the man and label very soon. For now enjoy!
[Ustream] Maisonette Electronique live at Vibe Bar w/ Kid Kanevil, Om Unit and Mr Beatnick
So last night we took our regular Ustream show, La Maisonette Electronique, on the road so to speak with a live session broadcast from London’s Vibe Bar. The session was made possible thanks to Kid Kanevil who organised the first (of hopefully many!) Keroro Platoon Soundclash sunday session at the Brick Lane venue. He invited Mr Beatnick, Om Unit and myself along and so we thought this would be the perfect occasion to broadcast the show live from the venue.
We managed to record about 3h of it, as the wifi kept cutting out unfortunately. Above you can see the first 45 mins and below are embeds for the last two hours including 1h30 of back to back business between the four of us.
Enjoy and tune into our Ustream show every two weeks (more or less) on a Sunday – though we’ve been known to change it to a wednesday so best keep an eye on our twitter for up to date info.
Enjoy!

[MP3] The Weeknd – High For This (Stadium Footwork edit)
So in between the constant aftershocks we’ve been getting here in Tokyo (nearly 1,000 earthquakes and shocks since March 11), organising the Nihon Kizuna release and parties and trying to actually have a holiday, I got chatting to Nasty Nasty on Twitter a few weeks back. I think it all started because Planet Mu are about to release a new single of his called ‘No Names’, which I thoroughly recommend you check out.
So we got chatting and the man kindly sent us some newer material to go alongside this new single – more on that in coming shows (or if you catch me DJing in Tokyo this weekend). Alongside this, he also sent a couple of club edits the other day – a totally tripped out Chopped n Screwed job and this one, a stadium-sized footwork edit of The Weeknd which he made for a recent Frite Nite party – the SF label/crew he works with. It’s pretty effin’ good, in fact it went down a treat when I dropped it last saturday in Tokyo and it seems to have turned into a crowd favourite overall, leading the man to kindly allow us to put it online for posterity. Don’t let the edit title fool you either, this is one of the nicest takes on the footwork sound I’ve heard in a while.
You can stream and/or download it below as a 320 mp3.
For more on Nasty Nasty have a listen on Soundcloud, and like I said look out for the Planet Mu 12 and more coming soon which we’ll be airing on the show for sure.

[MP3] Phillip D Kick – Footwork Jungle vol.1
A couple of weeks ago an email came in with a track attached of a footwork remix of Omni Trio’s classic Jungle track ‘Renegade Snares’. This was followed this week by a four track EP that took four classics from the Jungle era and flipped them in a footwork style. The only information I was given was a name, Phillip D Kick, and the fact that he was an old jungle fan and wanted the tracks put out as they are, nothing more.
So here you have Footwork Jungle vol.1 featuring Omni Trio, Q Project, Krome + Time and Leviticus all rather amazingly re-imagined in the style of Chicago’s Footwork music. Whether you a fan of the old or the new elements, each of these is a surefire winner.
As per the artist’s request we are releasing this as a set via Soundcloud, 100 downloads of each track only. Then they’re gone.
