Rhythm Incursions – Best of 09 pt 2

We wrap up 2009 with part 2 of our ‘best of’ mix. This is the last show of the year and continues to run down some of our favourite tracks from the last 12 months.

The mix starts with our second ‘Labels of 09′ mini feature looking at Ramp Recordings, a label that for me has had an incredible year and put out good music, consistently without worrying about scenes, genres and things like that. Doing eclectic isn’t necessarily hard though, doing it well however is and for me Ramp is one of those labels who managed to do just that: serve up a truly eclectic mix of releases, artists and styles and do so with a cohesion, quality control and consistency that only makes the music shine that much more. Add to this some quality artwork and an ear for snapping up producers that are bubbling under, like FaltyDL, Shortstuff or Tokimonsta, and you have a label which you need to make time for if you haven’t yet.

As I said they’ve had a rather busy year with something close to ten or so releases so I’ve managed to fit as much as I can in this mini feature with pretty much one track from every release this year, bar one or two. If you like what you hear then check the website and catch up with some seriously good music.

Elsewhere part 2 of the best of 09 features music from the likes of Darkstar, Peverelist, Joker, Dorian Concept, Daedelus, Clutchy Hopkins, Soundspecies, Mount Kimbie, Hudson Mohawke, Floating Points, Machinedrum, Poirier, Blue Daisy, Jamie Vex’d, Quarta330 and many more.

As usual tracklist and download links below. And if you haven’t yet may we suggest you sign up to the newsletter, RSS feed or iTunes feed and this way you’ll never miss a show.

So that’s it for 2009, and the first decade of this century/millenium. Many thanks to all our listeners, all the labels and artists we’ve worked with and who’ve supported us, all our guests, our extended family, DDay One, Mr Trick, 2tall and everyone else. It’s been a great year and here’s to 2010!

Peace

Laurent

Matt B – In the mix

A last minute guest mix dropped in our inbox earlier this week from Tokyo-based Matt B, one half of Bass Science and a good friend of ours. Matt’s been busy this summer touring Europe and America, and is now returning to Tokyo I believe where he is running the Made in Glitch nights and associated label, among other things.

Matt put together a short 30 minute mix, originally for Sub FM, and dropped us a copy. After a listen it was obvious we needed to share this with you all. Taking in quite a few of our own favourites from recent times, alongside some exclusives from his own label and friends it’s a rather good little musical trip. Perfect for the summer in fact, and we hope you’ll agree.

So sit back and enjoy the ride. As usual you can download the mix below directly, or grab it from the RSS, or even better subscribe to the iTunes feed and get every show and download automatically everytime.

Look out for more from Matt and Bass Science in coming months and in the meantime check the myspaces for tour and release info. And stay tuned for more guest mixes very soon too.
