I’m very happy to introduce our first (of two) brand new regular presenters to the Rhythm Incursions airwaves. Primus Luta from AvantUrb joins us for a new monthly show direct from the East coast of the United states. Alongside DDay One’s semi-regular show from L.A we’ve now got two presenters repping both sides of the country.

Regular listeners will remember the name as he’s guested on the show quite a few times in the last year, first with the retrospective Beat Construction mix in April, and then with 3 parts of his four-part The Vanguard series earlier this year. An avid music fan and musician, he holds the same interest in new music as we do and brings to the show the same open minded and embracing attitude that we try and put into ours. After chatting by email, following his work and putting his mixes on the show for the best part of a year, it felt like a natural progression to bring him on board.

Here’s some words from the man himself regarding the new show, which has been dubbed RIPL:

For the first episode of RIPL the aim was to give a broad idea of the type of stuff you can expect to hear over the coming months. This is an incredible period in music, with folk from the four corners really representing at the leading edge, where sounds and styles are being born every minute. We like to umbrella these into singular genres for simplicity, but the truth of the matter is that genre’s themselves have become modular.

Each genre, each sub-genre, is like a pebble dropping into the ocean of sound sending out ripples in concentric circles. They bounce off of each other, absorb one another’s energy, intersect, and create new ripples, new sounds, new genres, new sub genres. This show is all about the ripples. Okay I just made that up. It sounded good though, nowhere near as good as the music itself. Bring on the RIPL!!

Primus Luta will be holding it down on the second week of each month starting next month with his RIPL show. He will be followed by our other new presenters XLII and Broken Haze from Raid System in Tokyo – who regular listeners will remember we featured recently in a 3-part special – who will hold down the third week of the month starting in June (their debut show goes out next week). And then on the last week of the month our regular show will continue to go out. So that’ll be 3 times the amount of regular music coming your way each month, each from a different continent but with the same aim of bringing discerning music to discerning ears.

Please leave your feedback on this show so we can continue to build and take in your input as well.

Enjoy!

Our next guest installment comes from Germany with a mix from DJ Snatchatec, Equinox records affiliate and partner in crime of Rhythm Incursion friend and favourite DJ Scientist. It was actually Scientist who recommended the mix to us, and after a listen it was obvious this was a perfect fit for a Rhythm Incursions guest slot, with a selection that echoes the show’s ethos of picking up where hip hop stops and strikes similarities with plenty of previous playlists. And on top of that Snatchatec’s nice on the turntables and adds the right amount of skills to his excellent selection, turning in an instantly listenable mixes with plenty of replay value. But enough of the words, tracklist, download links and more info after the jump.

As you can see from the tracklist we weren’t lying when we said this mix is a perfect fit for Rhythm Incursions, with the likes of Sixtoo, edIT, Jel, Clutchy Hopkins, Blockhead as well as extended RI family member Joey Beats and more all making appearances. The mix can be downloaded below in a high quality mp3, however it is also still available to buy as a CD release from the Audiac label for 6 Euros. So if you like what you hear and want to support Snatchatec or like having a physical product rather than just a digital file than please head over here and show your support.

Big thanks goes to Snatchatec for letting us air this mix as well as to Scientist for the hook up. For more information on Snachatec head over to his myspace, while you can find all the info you need on Equinox records over at their official site.
