So after a two month hiatus partly due to earthquakes and other natural disasters we’re back with a regular Rhythm Incursions podcast, unsurprisingly shock full of new music and exclusives as I try and work my way through the backlog accumulated in the last two months.

Over two hours we cover a lot of ground this month with new and forthcoming music from Machinedrum, Cardopusher, Anti-G, Mr Beatnick, Neon Jung, Mark E, Downliners Sekt, Tom Trago, Jon Wayne, Africa Hitech, Shabazz Palaces, Com Truise, DZA, Eliot Lipp, LV and Joshua Idehen, Ossie and much more. We’ve also got some sneak peek exclusives from NastyNasty, Machinedrum’s Juke/Footwork project, our old friend from Amsterdam Coco B, Klic and a few others. Also on this month’s show a preview of the forthcoming Greensleeves dubstep remixes, with The Bug and Goth Trad. As I said a lot to showcase and a varied two hour ride into the freshest sounds we’ve been blessed to receive recently.

As always full tracklist and details are below as well as download and stream options. Or simply subscribe to our RSS/iTunes feed and receive the shows directly in your inbox.

Stay tuned for details of forthcoming guest mixes including live audio from our recent adventures in Japan. Also coming up in June are all our regular podcasts from Primus Luta, Raid System and myself as well as DDay One who’ll be back for one of his sessions. Oh and stay tuned to our Ustream channel for some surprise shows this week and next month!

We return to L.A. for our latest guest mix. Depakote is a producer who got in touch with us after we’d posted about the Sun Ra beat tape a few months ago. He was one of the producers on said beat tape and he sent us links to a bunch of his freely available beat tapes/albums. I liked what I heard and we got chatting. One thing leading to another he sent me a preview of his forthcoming album and I asked him for a guest mix.

Fast forward a couple of months and the mix is here, put together by his friend The Samurai and featuring music from Depakote himself as well as friends in and around L.A. As the attention continues to build on the Californian city and its bubbling electronic and hip hop scenes this mix provides a perfect snapshot of what many of the city’s upcoming producers are up to.

Depakote will be releasing his debut album on the Hightpoint Lowlife label in the near future, entitled ‘It’s not 94 anymore’. Having had the pleasure of checking a preview of it I must say it’s a rather nice release, a real slice of modern L.A. boom bap that fits perfectly within the city’s recent, and incredibly varied, hip hop output.

While you wait enjoy this mix and look for more from the man in forthcoming shows!
