We return with a guest mix on this fine monday as our monthly shows for August have been pushed to friday. Next up in our ever growing line up of guests is Vangel, a Canadian producer and DJ who I think I first came across via the work we do on Turntable Radio. Details are hazy but for the last couple of years he’s been on our radar with various releases and collaborations, notably his EP for Scientist’s Equinox records (which we aired last year).

Over the last few months we got talking about a guest spot on the show for which the man came up with ‘In My Rumination’ a mix that fits more than perfectly within the Rhythm Inc cannon. Over 50 minutes Vangel takes you everywhere and back, weaving the likes of DJ Shadow, Four Tet, El-P, Prefuse, Caribou, Battles, Koushik, Thom Yorke and more together alongside some of his own productions. The result is a blissfull ride into music perfect to help get over the monday morning blues.

For more on Vangel be sure to check his site where you can find more info and links on all his releases and more.

Update: Vangel just told us he’s currently working on a debut LP entitled Breadth Control and you can get some free and not-free bytes right here http://vangel.bandcamp.com/.

And for now just crank up the volume and enjoy!

Equinox Records are about to release Ceschi’s debut album, produced by label head Scientist. We’ve already aired a few tracks from this in previous shows but in case you weren’t following Phonatic has put together a megamix of the album which you can stream above and download below.

‘The One Man Band Broke Up’ is one of the freshest rap LPs we’ve heard all year and another great example of why Equinox are a top label you should be familiar with. And that’s not mentioning the killer artwork they put out with each release, this one being no exception.

The album drops June 29th and you can head over to the label’s website to get your pre-order on or check your nearest physical or digital purveyor. Enjoy!

Being currently trapped in some sort of odd twilight zone-esque real life situation I’m not very inspired for this month’s accompanying text blurb. So instead I’ll get straight down to business. Rhythm Incursions May 2010 rounds off a very busy month for us here at Rhythm Inc towers, possibly the busiest since we started. We’ve had guest mixes from Cafeteria and Monday Jazz, Fulgeance and Donky Pitch, Marques Lafelt and the Content Label, Throwing Snow and Kper and FoF Music. Alongside this we’ve also debuted new regular shows from two new presenters: Primus Luta over in the US who heads the new RIPL monthly show, and Broken Haze and XLII in Tokyo who head the RIRS monthly show. And now this, our regular 2h monthly show. I’ve never been good at maths but I’m pretty sure that’s close to like 20h of music in one month. Not bad eh? Click here to view all this month’s show, download them, stream them, comment etc…

So this month’s show follows our usual format with 2 hours of new and forthcoming music from the likes of Hightone, Breakage, Ceschi, Kraddy, Si Begg, Paul White, The Bug, The Roots, Houseshoes, Machinedrum, Ital Tek, Digital Mystikz, Danny Breaks, Dday One, Charles Trees, Roots Manuva, Foreign Beggars and Dabrye, The Blessings and many more. Alongside this we’ve got a world premier of the EAN remix of Om Unit’s Searching, which is forthcoming on Stretched Records. The mini feature for this month continues our recent Japanese theme (last one for a while promise!) with a look at the work of Olive Oil, a producer we’ve rated for a long time and who was definitely pioneering the whole beats/electronic hip hop thing since 05/06 in his native Japan. As with many other Japanese producers he’s not that well known outside Japan but his work definitely deserves a closer look so we’ve got four tracks from releases over the last 5 years to give you an idea. And if you like what you hear be sure to check his guest mix for us from last summer.

So that’s about it, as always download links and stream players are below alongside the exhaustive tracklist. If you like what you hear go out and support the artists and labels please, and where available download stuff for free even.

We’ll be back next month alongside our two new shows, RIPL and RIRS. You can also expect some very special guest mixes, the next in our Friends of Friends mix series and a site overhaul and relaunch, which should be late June/early July depending on how busy we are. As always feedback is appreciated so hit us up in the comments and enjoy!

Right then, we roll into the summer months like a heatwave with a show packed to the rafters with new music, exclusives and a few old favourites. In a bit of a departure from our normal shows, I opted for more of a mix feel to the show this month. With so much music to showcase that was the logical option, though you still have the pleasure of my unimmitable presenting style, complete with dodgy French accent.

On the show this month we have new music from Nadsroic, Mike Slott, Dimlite, Danny Breaks, Scienz of Life, 2nd Class Citizen, Ceschi, Dizz1, Mad EP, DJ Food, King Midas Sound, Architeq, Om Unit, Memory9, Wrongtom vs Roots Manuva, Loops Haunt, Paul White, Fulgeance, FaltyDL, Joker, The Grouch, Busdriver, Ben Sharpa, Machine Drum, Waajeed, Dorian Concept, and more.

And if all that wasn’t enough we’ve also got two mini features this month: one on the excellent new Beat Dimensions vol2 compilation from Jay Scarlett and Cinnaman and the other on Nosaj Thing, who releases his debut album this month on Alpha Pup. The Nosaj Thing feature was long overdue considering how much we’ve enjoyed and supported his music on the show over the last year.

So without further ado, get stuck in with Rhythm Incursions May, 75 minutes of musical goodness to help bring in the summer vibes. Full details on where to buy all the releases can be found in the playlist.

As a last note a big thank you to all the listeners and visitors who have made Rhythm Incursions such a popular show according to our stats: we’re clocking an average of 1200 downloads a day across the site, which is no mean feat and a pleasure to know considering Rhythm Incursions is a totally independent show run by ourselves in our own time. The best reward is to know that people are enjoying what we do, so once more a big thank you to all listeners past, present and future.

Enjoy!

I kinda messed things up and this podcast originally went out with the wrong file (the one from the October show). This has now been fixed and I have been fired. This will be my last post before I possible commit ritual suicide in order to atone for the gravity of my sins. Moral of the story is either never trust a Frenchman or don’t work when you’re tired. I go for the first one personally. Originaly text, links and tracklist below.

Seeing as how things are still messed up worldwide, we’ve got another round of fresh new music to help fight the gloom and doom. Think of it like an audio version of Obama’s win, or something to that effect… yes we can (play dope music for you). The end of the year also means an abundance of new music, with our collective Rhythm Incursions music box packed to the rafters as labels and artists push their latest for the end of year/post new year rush. Putting this month’s show together was therefore more difficult than usual, and there is still quite a bit of music I couldn’t showcase, so look out for more goodness next month as we not only wrap up the year but also continue showcasing all the good stuff that’s out, or on its way. Still, I managed to fit in quite a lot in the space of an hour, from the likes of Kanye, Common, Just Blaze, Kano and Evil Nine to Rhythm Incursions favourites Nosaj Thing, Exile and Maga Bo as well as Diplo, Madlib, Fulgeance, Blank Blue, DJ Design and more. Do we have your full attention yet? Good.

As I was saying, this month sees me try to fit in as much new music as possible in the space of an hour. And alongside all the aforementioned artists, most of which appear with brand new tracks we haven’t aired yet, we also have a mini feature on producers Matt B and Nalepa aka Bass Science, whose music veers from electronic dub to dancefloor ready and bass heavy hip hop and dubstep. So get comfy, grab a drink, wack the volume up to 11 and enjoy!
