Brand new show from Primus Luta taking a detour from the usual selections with a theme that looks at the links between noise music and the beat. I’ll let him explain:

Toward the end of last year I went out on a limb and made the prediction that noise would become a player within the music we’ve all come to love. Having conquered rhythm, deconstructed melody and on the whole redefined the relationship between sound and music within the realm sequences, I saw the next frontier for the beat. Not that noise is new at all, or even new to beat music. In fact there are direct links between the beat scenes we see today and noise, particularly when one takes into account the history of industrial music. But what I hoped to see in 2011 was a full on embrace of noise as a primary element in beat construction, and to put it simply, I am quite pleased with the results. This set is a reflection of this past year and how different artists have taken to and utilized noise in their work.

We wrap up the month of October on the spookiest day of the year with a much delayed RIPL edition. While not actually tied into Halloween at all, this show Laurent’s Rhythm Incursions podcast which will instead go out in the following week due to some delays with travelling and work.

If you’re feeling fed up with all the Halloween spookyness overdose, this month’s RIPL will provide you with a perfect musical antidote as Primus Luta runs through some of the most exciting releases of the last month including new music from Kuedo, Slugabed, Blue Daisy, Plaid, Krampfhaft, Ras G, Rustie, howse, Gescom, Ekoplekz and Andy Stott among others! This month’s tracklist perfectly summarises what’s been a busy autumn and what will be a just as busy winter music wise.

With a fair bit of delay due to workloads and a rather annoying ear infection, the latest edition of the Rhythm Incursions podcast is now up covering July/August and also making up for the missed June edition. Still at least the homies Primus Luta and Raid System have been holding it down while I’ve been missing shows this year so if you haven’t be sure to check their archives!

Up this month is the usual 2 hours of musical goodness and discerning selection for your ears. Plenty of new music, forthcoming releases and exclusives from the likes of Trim, Mark Pritchard, Kelpe, Om Unit and Kromestar, Pale Sketcher, the One Handed Music family with Mo Kolours and a track from Paul White’s forthcoming Rapping with Paul White album, NastyNasty, LDFD, Sepalcure remixed by Jimmy Edgar, Himuro Yoshiteru, V.C, T-Woc, Pinch, Ras G, Recloose and many more. Also in this month’s show some details of the new compilation I’ve put together for Project Mooncircle – including a preview of EAN’s track from the same compilation – as well as details of a joint series of exclusive live recordings from Japanese artists we’ll be airing alongside Percussion Lab.

And so the end of year arrives and with it our last show of 2010. The last of our end of year shows, this one follows the 2009 best of mix I did last year though instead of spreading across two shows I tried to squeeze all I could into one session. Make no mistake, despite the naysayers and the doom and gloom surrounding the music industry in general, for me 2010 has been a rather good year music wise. On one side there’s seemingly more music than ever, and with that comes a certain lack of quality control. On the other, this lack of quality control and breakdown of the traditional models within the industry has I believe given various labels and artists in the ‘underground’ a lot more potential for flourishing. As the old saying goes, you’ve just got to look closer to find the gold among all the noise.

I originally had 160 odd tracks earmarked for this show. A couple of days of ruminating and trying things out and I managed to keep it down to 60 or so, as well as the mini feature on All City Records, my label of the year (as you should know by now – they did two guest mixes for us earlier this month). In the process of putting the mix together it first occurred to me that if you consider the amount of music I received this year for the show (at a guess I’d say 500 odd releases, maybe even more) then there really is a big job of sifting through everything to find the stuff that’s actually worthy of a best of mix. Even then I had to leave stuff out that I wished could have been fitted. The criteria (if you will) was a mix of what I’d played on the show in the last 12 months and which I considered to be well above par, as well as tracks that have been staples in my DJ sets and tracks from albums that have barely left my portable player all year. The result is the following tracklist. Apologies to those I missed, but if anything it’s the perfect excuse for you to go over all the shows we’ve put out in the last year (hint hint). I also tried to avoid too much duplication with the previous two end of year shows from Primus Luta and Raid System.

So that’s it for 2010, another year under the belt and onwards. Rhythm Incursions has seen a lot of changes this year – new website, new presenters, new regular guest series. It’s been an absolute blast, and I want to thank everyone who’s made the show what it is and who works out of their own time towards continuing to make this one of the finer podcast series out there. In no specific order much love and thanks to Primus Luta, XLII, Broken Haze, Dday One and Leeor at FoF for their work. A big thank you as well to all the labels, artists and PR who send us stuff and take time to talk to us, sometimes even bowing to our pressures for guest spots. Among them (too many to mention) special thanks to Olan at All City, Gordon at Mooncircle, Marcus at Planet Mu & Hyperdub, Flip at Error Broadcast, Melissa at Tailored, the Outpost, Alex Nut and Alex Chase. Lastly big thanks to my close friends and inspirations Om Unit and Vinilificio.

Right then, enough of the chatter. I’ll let you enjoy the mix. It’s roughly 2h15, with the first 2 hours taken by the mix and the last 15 minutes the All City records megamix celebrating some of their releases from 2010. I was intent on doing a proper megamix of all the releases, but just couldn’t due to time and other engagements. Still this should give you the last push to check their stuff if you haven’t yet. No talking, all mixing and music!

As always stream and/or download below, or simply subscribe to the RSS/iTunes/email. The playlist is so long I can’t find the energy of linking all the labels/websites this time so PLEASE if you like what you hear than check the playlist and go out there and support the artists and the music. You can browse all available shows by artists on this page, and all previous shows have full, linked tracklists.

Love and blessings, see you in 2011!

Stepping up first as always this month is Primus Luta with RIPL. Slight change this month as he takes the occasion to look over the first half of the year and highlight favourites and must buys. I’ll leave the explaining to him but one eye over the tracklist and you’ll see Rhythm Inc favourites everywhere including All City records, Alpha Pup, Flying Lotus and Brainfeeder, Ghostly and more.

So this month as the summer nears end I decided to do an early reflection on the year and highlight some of the standout work I’ve heard throughout the year. So we’ll call this the RIPL Mid-Year Report with the very special RIPL Mid-Year Awards. Overall the selection gives a good picture of just how much ground is being covered by producers in 2010. With categories ranging from the “Wobble the Bass” award, the “Ultimate Break Beat” and the “Dr. Dre’s Detox” award, well lets just say it’ll put a smile on your face.

All of this in prep to actually do some sort of award thing for the end of the year. If not for the dope music and occasional vibes, check this out to see where my head is about ‘awarding’ the beat scene and fall through with some comments to let me know if there’s awards I got wrong, ones you really like, or ones you think I missed.

So that’s it. As the man said comments are much welcomed, let us know what you think!

As always show is available to direct download and stream below alongside full tracklist. Or just sign up to the RSS/iTunes feeds and never miss a show. Stay tuned for a guest mix from B-Ju next monday, RIRS August next friday and a very special guest mix from My Dry Wet Mess, the latest signing to Daedelus’ label, the following monday. It’s gonna be a good end of summer trust us.

I’m very happy to introduce our first (of two) brand new regular presenters to the Rhythm Incursions airwaves. Primus Luta from AvantUrb joins us for a new monthly show direct from the East coast of the United states. Alongside DDay One’s semi-regular show from L.A we’ve now got two presenters repping both sides of the country.

Regular listeners will remember the name as he’s guested on the show quite a few times in the last year, first with the retrospective Beat Construction mix in April, and then with 3 parts of his four-part The Vanguard series earlier this year. An avid music fan and musician, he holds the same interest in new music as we do and brings to the show the same open minded and embracing attitude that we try and put into ours. After chatting by email, following his work and putting his mixes on the show for the best part of a year, it felt like a natural progression to bring him on board.

Here’s some words from the man himself regarding the new show, which has been dubbed RIPL:

For the first episode of RIPL the aim was to give a broad idea of the type of stuff you can expect to hear over the coming months. This is an incredible period in music, with folk from the four corners really representing at the leading edge, where sounds and styles are being born every minute. We like to umbrella these into singular genres for simplicity, but the truth of the matter is that genre’s themselves have become modular.

Each genre, each sub-genre, is like a pebble dropping into the ocean of sound sending out ripples in concentric circles. They bounce off of each other, absorb one another’s energy, intersect, and create new ripples, new sounds, new genres, new sub genres. This show is all about the ripples. Okay I just made that up. It sounded good though, nowhere near as good as the music itself. Bring on the RIPL!!

Primus Luta will be holding it down on the second week of each month starting next month with his RIPL show. He will be followed by our other new presenters XLII and Broken Haze from Raid System in Tokyo – who regular listeners will remember we featured recently in a 3-part special – who will hold down the third week of the month starting in June (their debut show goes out next week). And then on the last week of the month our regular show will continue to go out. So that’ll be 3 times the amount of regular music coming your way each month, each from a different continent but with the same aim of bringing discerning music to discerning ears.

Please leave your feedback on this show so we can continue to build and take in your input as well.

Enjoy!

After nearly a week of blue, planeless skies here in London I guess we can confidently say that spring has arrived – and hopefully summer isn’t too far behind. So as we do every month let us celebrate with some music and another 2 hours of new, upcoming, old and unreleased bits for discerning ears.

On the show this month we’ve got new and forthcoming music from B-Ju, Ras G, Robot Koch Lando Kal, Lorn, Jahcoozi, FaltyDL, Om Unit, Letherette, Uncle Lew, Alex B, Take, Deru, LV and Quarta330, Shigeto, Skitz, Tokimonsta, Space Invadas, Yosi Horikawa, Dimlite and more alongside some favourites of recent times from RSD, James Blake, Uyama Hiroto, Mount Kimbie, Daisuke Tanabe and Flying Lotus among others.

This month’s mini feature meanwhile looks at the work of Japanese producer O.N.O. Probably best know as the producer for Tha Blue Herb, one of Japan’s most famous rap crews, and hailing from the northern island of Hokkaido, O.N.O has also been releasing under his name as a solo artist for well over ten years now. And it’s his work as a solo artist that’s always fascinated me since I discovered him thanks to Waxfactor about five years ago. This mini feature aims to shine a little light on the man’s incredible production range which runs from hip hop to dub, jungle to house, ambient to abstract and at times crazy electronic music. The constant in a lot of his music is his use of machines to create the sounds, something which really takes meaning when you see his live shows (youtube here and here) where equipped with 2 MPCs, a sequencer and effects units he puts on one of the most fascinating and enjoyable live electronic music shows I’ve ever seen. On the mini feature we’ve got 4 tracks from releases spanning most of his solo career and which as I said gives a nice idea of his diverse output. For more on the man check his website and those of you in/around Tokyo can catch him playing with Flying Lotus for a Tokyo Brainfeeder session soon – hopefully this might help shine some more light on his work outside Japan.

For now though sit back and enjoy another two hours of discerning music for discerning ears. As always you can grab the show directly at the link below, stream at the bottom of this post, or subscribe to our iTunes and/or RSS feed and you won’t even have to click through and read through all this every time we drop a new show. Look out for more guest mixes coming up next and some news regarding the shows. Until then enjoy!

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

And so here we are at the end of the year, and the decade. Let us therefore indulge in this most seasonal of traditions with a two-part, end of year ‘best of’ show for 2009. The idea was to build on last year’s first installment, and then before I knew it I’d sat down in front of the computer with a shortlist of 100+ tracks and the idea of actually doing a proper mix as opposed to a simple selection of tracks. As with last year there is no talking this time round, just pure music selection for your enjoyment.

We start with part 1 and 50 odd tracks which have all been highlights of the year here at Rhythm Inc towers from the likes of Architeq, Paul White, Alice Russell, Raekwon, DOOM, Oh No, Heliocentrics, Loops Haunt, LuckyMe, Robot Koch, Milanese, King Midas Sound, 2nd Class Citizen and many, many more. The selection is a nice representation of this year’s playlists too with a couple of previously un-aired goodies thrown in on top. As always complete tracklist below with link to the mix for those that aren’t subscribed to our feed or iTunes channels (hint hint).

As I said this best of show is more of a ‘mix’ than our normal shows – everything has been mixed and mashed up to allow me to fit as much music as I can in 75 minutes and still give every track a chance to shine.

Part two will be dropping very shortly, either on Christmas eve or Boxing day (the day after xmas) – it all depends on how much I manage to get done tonight. It will feature another 50 or so tracks from our best of 2009 list as well as the second ‘Labels of 09′ mini-feature, this time looking at the output of Ramp Recordings which is by far one of the stand out labels of the year for us. And don’t forget to check last month’s show for part of our ‘Labels of 09′ mini-feature which looked at the excellent One Handed Music.

So I won’t keep you any longer. Get stuck in, lie back, crank up the volume, ignore the family members and enjoy the first half of our best of 09 show!

With September knocking at the door, it’s fair to say summer is well and truly over. And considering how strange it’s been weather wise here in the UK, I think it’s only fitting we end it with a blast of new music. Up this month we have plenty of forthcoming early autumn releases as well as a mini feature on Lorn, one of the producers we think you should definitely be keeping an eye on in the coming months.

Music comes in from all corners of the globe and all styles including Poirier, JS-1, Tiago, Ras G, Antipop Consortium, Luke Vibert, Shafiq Husayn, Milanese, Hessle Audio, Machine Drum, Lambent, Mos Def and more. You also get some previews of the forthcoming Ras G release on Ramp, as well as the new Friends of Friends EP.

The mini feature looks at the work of Lorn, someone who should be familiar to regular listeners as well as those who used to hang around scratch boards at the turn of the century. With an upcoming album on Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, a recent release alongside Adoptahighway, plenty of dope free remixes knocking about the internet and more collaborations in the works, I selected five tracks to showcase his work. Over the years Lorn has, for me, definitely developed a sound and approach to his music that is unique and refreshing, as you’ll hopefully hear with this short selection.

So that’s it for august and for the summer, enjoy our last summer selection and we’ll be back as usual in a few weeks for the September show. In the meantime stay tuned for more guest mixes and freebies. Enjoy!
