Rhythm Incursions – July 2010

We return with our last regular show of the month, as always bringing you 2 hours of musical freshness and this month we waste no time with two mini features and a heap of forthcoming releases and exclusives.

Up this month we have new and forthcoming music from Letherette, Terror Danjah, Svpreme Fiend, Prof Nalepa, Natural Self, 8bitch, Ol, Katzuma, Pale Sketcher, Christopher Willits, Guido, Hudson Mohawke, Exile, Shigeto, DELS, Wrongtom and Roots Manuva, Space Dimension Controller, Lobisomem, Ikonika, Lone, Take, Tokimonsta and more as well as a sneak preview of the new Mexicans With Guns release and a few Planet Mu and Ghostly releases. Alongside all this we’ve got some favourites from Blundetto, Mr Beatnick and O.N.O as well as two mini features.

The first mini feature looks at the recent output of the Soularp label, including releases by producer Erik L and Stray. I was put onto them by Jay Scarlett and I must admit I’ve really been impressed by the overall quality and variety on display. From beats to club bangers via 80s throwbacks, Soularp have been putting out some good stuff and this mini feature helps to shine a little light on that.

Following this our second mini feature looks at the recent Froots remixes release by In Vitro Records, which saw them give the tracks from Jean Jacques Perrey and Cosmic Pocket’s Froots album to an impressive selection of new school hip hop, electronic and skwee producers to flip. The result is a double CD which is just as demented as the original but obviously has a bit more mass appeal. We’ve picked out three remixes from Kelpe, Himuro Yoshiteru and Eero Johannes as a little taster but really you need to check the whole thing as it’s well worth your time.

As always you can direct download and stream below as well as check the full playlist. Subscribers will already have the show waiting in their RSS or iTunes feeds.

That’s it for this month, enjoy the music wherever you may be and stay tuned for the long overdue site revamp next month as well as the usual shows from RIPL, RIRS and myself alongside some tasty guest mixes from DJ Pain and Vangel among others.

Mexicans with Guns – Nuts and Bongos

Woke this morning to find the new EP from Mexicans With Guns in our inbox, the latest signee to Exponential Records, the label responsible for the excellent AM Architect album, ‘The Road to the Sun,’ which has been a firm favourite of both Mr Trick and I over the last couple of months.

Featuring MCs Cerebral Vortex and Spoek Mathambo, ‘Nuts and Bongos’ is some straight-up, feel good party music that is sure to leave dancefloors upside down, and the lovely people at Exponential have been kind enough to let us share it with you.

The ‘Nuts and Bongos’ EP features the title track alongside 4 remixes from the likes of Ninjasonik and Robot Koch. We’ll let the guys at Exponential explain it to you:

“We are the world…we are the children. Remember that shit? The superstars of the world came together to spread a positive message…love is really all you need. Well, 3 of those children grew up and guess what…they linked up together to form a super group to spread an equally positive message…love might be all you need but what about all the sex, drugs, and club bangers, the stuff you want?

Latest signee to the roster, Mexicans with Guns links up with MC’s Cerebral Vortex and Spoek Mathambo to collaborate on the Nuts and Bongos EP, a guaranteed sure shot for the dancefloors. Each member of this collab has been generating some waves. Mexicans with Guns was selected to URB Magazine’s Next 100, Spoek Mathambo recently released a few hot tracks on the Adult Swim African Swim Compilation, and Cerebral Vortex is a name on the tip of the blogworld tongue. To make things go even harder, the crew enlisted the talents of Ninjasonik, Cobra Krames, Robot Koch of Jahcoozi, and GTO for remixes.

We are the world made the day brighter…this collab seeks to make the night darker and the clubs stankier.”

The EP comes out next week, check the Exponential website to buy directly or for details on where else to find it.
