Our latest guest mix comes from a long time friend of Rhythm Incursions and Turntable Radio, the German producer and DJ B-Ju. I first discovered and met B in the days of Turntable Radio and scratch forums, when he was one of the most unique and interesting cats to come out of Germany around the early-mid 00s. I still remember his sets as part of the now defunct ITF experimental category as some of the best from that era, and it was no surprise to see him appear in recent years as part of the new school of European producers that are taking the whole electronic hip hop/beats aesthetic into their own hands.

He’s had releases on labels such as Equinox, Dirtybird and more recently Error Broadcast following his earlier years as a turntablist (during which he won a bunch of titles in the DMCs and elsewhere), most of which we’ve featured on the show. He’s currently DJing with his partner in crime Soular all around Germany and working on two new EPs. Check out the latest dates on myspace and exclusive tracks and mixes on Soundcloud.

So as you can gather it’s a real pleasure to have the man drop by for a guest mix. For the occasion he sent a 50 minute selection of black plastic that covers the recent experimentations between dubstep/2step and funky house with people like James Blake, Joy Orbison, Four Tet, SBTRKT, Sepalcure and Hypno and more all represented. It’s definitely right up our alley here at Rhythm Inc towers, with many of these artists featured on the show and in rotation in our players.

If you like what you hear be sure to check his links for more and go out there and check his music if you like crunchy, banging beats. Here’s a preview of his latest EP for Error Broadcast:

We continue to roll out the guest mixes this month, with our latest offering coming from Touchy Subject. Now, while his name may not be one you’re familiar with yet it’s quite likely you’ll hear more from him in the coming year as some of his tracks are already being picked up and supported by the likes of Hudson Mohawke and Daedelus.

We hooked up with him after he sent some of the tracks for the show on myspace, and that’s when we decided to ask him to do a guest mix. He dully obliged and delivered with ‘Clever Headache’ a 45 mins ride that takes you through some of his own work alongside newer releases and some Rhythm Incursions favourites, spanning genres and tempo in a fairly effortless manner. Which also fits nicely with how we do things on Rhythm Inc normally, as regulars listeners no doubt know!

Not a man of many words, he described the mix as follows:

There’s some things you just can’t talk about. A variety of sound cheaper than a pound.

You can find out more about the man on his myspaces, here and here. And look out for some more exclusive tracks from him in my forthcoming regular podcast which will be going out before the end of the month.

For now though, strap up and crank the volume.
