Vangel – In My Rumination

We return with a guest mix on this fine monday as our monthly shows for August have been pushed to friday. Next up in our ever growing line up of guests is Vangel, a Canadian producer and DJ who I think I first came across via the work we do on Turntable Radio. Details are hazy but for the last couple of years he’s been on our radar with various releases and collaborations, notably his EP for Scientist’s Equinox records (which we aired last year).

Over the last few months we got talking about a guest spot on the show for which the man came up with ‘In My Rumination’ a mix that fits more than perfectly within the Rhythm Inc cannon. Over 50 minutes Vangel takes you everywhere and back, weaving the likes of DJ Shadow, Four Tet, El-P, Prefuse, Caribou, Battles, Koushik, Thom Yorke and more together alongside some of his own productions. The result is a blissfull ride into music perfect to help get over the monday morning blues.

For more on Vangel be sure to check his site where you can find more info and links on all his releases and more.

Update: Vangel just told us he’s currently working on a debut LP entitled Breadth Control and you can get some free and not-free bytes right here http://vangel.bandcamp.com/.

And for now just crank up the volume and enjoy!

DJ Snatchatec – Indigo

Our next guest installment comes from Germany with a mix from DJ Snatchatec, Equinox records affiliate and partner in crime of Rhythm Incursion friend and favourite DJ Scientist. It was actually Scientist who recommended the mix to us, and after a listen it was obvious this was a perfect fit for a Rhythm Incursions guest slot, with a selection that echoes the show’s ethos of picking up where hip hop stops and strikes similarities with plenty of previous playlists. And on top of that Snatchatec’s nice on the turntables and adds the right amount of skills to his excellent selection, turning in an instantly listenable mixes with plenty of replay value. But enough of the words, tracklist, download links and more info after the jump.
