Right then, it’s been a busy beginning of 2012 here at Rhythm Inc towers so busy in fact we couldn’t deliver this show in time for January. It more than makes up for the delay however by showcasing a plethora of producers/artists/labels which we think are going to have a good 2012 and who you should definitely keep an eye out for.

Titled the 2012 Watchlist, we opted to do an entire show focused on these new talents rather than a shorter mini feature – so everything in this month’s show aside from a couple of oldies is 100% approved by us as being hot shit for 2012. We’ve got bags of music from new and upcoming talents including the likes of ENA, MNLTHM, Youngteamm, Darkhouse Family, EAN, Danny Scrilla, Beat Inc, Ssaliva, Tehbis, Sweatson Klank, Memory9, Homeboy Sandman and Soosh – some of these names you might recognise as they’ve been grafting for a few years, others are recent additions to our ‘quality’ index. Label wise the likes of Hessle Audio, Astro:Dynamics, Keysound (who were our label of 2011), Ninja Tune, Sonic Router, Brainmath and 7even Recordings all get a look in – some are established others brand new, but all of them are likely to make an impact this year. And as mentioned we’ve also got classics and new music from established heads like Downliners Sekt, Machinedrum and B-Ju. I don’t know about you but I think it’s going to be a good year.

As always you can download and/or stream the show below, or simply subscribe to our Newsletter, RSS or iTunes feed and never miss anything.

We’ll be resuming regular broadcasting schedules this month with new RIPL and RIRS shows as well as our new monthly BLN.FM residency – the February edition of which goes live tomorrow and will be archived here later in the month. We’ve also got a bag of new guest mixes coming – including plenty of the people in our 2012 watchlist – so watch out for these.

So without further ado, enjoy, crank loud and have a good week!

And so we reach the end of the year and the obligatory retrospective edition. This year we’ve opted for a slightly different format, bringing together our three regular shows – RIPL, RIRS and Rhythm Incursions – into one bumper 3h edition that looks back at our favourite music from 2011. With each of us selecting one hour of music, this end of year show features primarily music and tracks which we’ve previously aired as well as a few additions culled from releases and/or artists we’ve supported this year.

We start with the Rhythm Incursions mix presented by Laurent which features a mini feature on the label of the year which is Keysound Recordings, the London label headed by Blackdown. Despite having had a fairly quiet year in comparison to other labels, Keysound’s put out three outstanding albums from Damu, LV & Joshua Idehen and Sully, as well as a handful of 12″s that have all been featured on previous shows and been staples of many sets. As the adage goes quality not quantity and while it’s true that this has actually been a busy year for the label we feel that they really deserve the accolade. Alongside Keysound, the mix features regulars from the past year as well as our favourite releases including Om Unit, Shabazz Palaces, Slugabed, EAN, Kode 9, Yosi Horikawa (with his track from the Nihon Kizuna compilation), NastyNasty, Mark Pritchard under both his solo and Africa Hitech aliases, Machinedrum, Sepalcure and 1000Names.

Primus Luta meanwhile also showcases his favourites – many recognisable from his own 2011 shows – in his mix. A straight up one hour mix with no talking it features some of this year’s best releases from both the electronic and rap world with the likes of 2562, Busdriver, Kendrick Lamar, Blk.Adonis, Welder, Shigeto, Lorn, Siriusmo, Madlib and Dibiase, DRC Music alongside Om Unit, Sepalcure and Sully who all make additional appearances.

And as for Raid System they opted to do another top 20 countdown of their favourite tracks of the year, though this time it isn’t live. Their mix starts with a short run down of our Nihon Kizuna release as well as Broken Haze’s joint EP with B.Bravo before getting into their top 20 for the year featuring many of the artists and labels they’ve been supporting including Joker, Nino, Rustie, Hudson Mohawke, Funkystepz, Zdot, Bobby Tank, Toddska, Starkey, Daniel Haaksman, Knight Riderz, S-Type, Munchi and more.

So there you have it, 2011 the year that was. As always a big thank you to all our listeners and fans, all the labels and artists and a special thanks to everyone who has kindly donated via the Nihon Kizuna compilation we put together while in Japan in March this year. We’ll see you in 2012 with the first show of the year our new BLN.FM syndication, the first of which is curated by Raid System. It will air live on the first tuesday of each month before being podcasted both here and on the BLN.FM site. Before that though there’s one more guest mix, part of our Friends of Friends mix series dropping on New Year’s Eve – it’s a surprise one so be sure not to miss.

Enjoy and happy new year!

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.

We start a new guest mix series this week brought to you by our Tokyo family, Raid System. A month or so ago Broken Haze, who heads Raid System in Tokyo, started a new series of guest mixes featuring artists they’re fans of and/or work with. Somehow it took two of those mixes before him and I thought about adding the series to Rhythm Incursions. We’ve now remedied that and so this week and next we’ll bring you the first two mixes (which have been available for a few weeks) and from now on all Raid System guest mixes will also go out on the Rhythm Incursions feed.

For the first in the series Raid System got Spain’s Nino to step up with a short half hour mix. Following his release on Donky Pitch earlier this year, Nino has been a name to watch for sure. Much like Mweslee before him and other young Spanish producers like No Aipre, Nino brings forth a funky production sound that is quite often irresistible. On this mix he brings together quite a few of our favourites of recent times for a perfect uplifting session.

Be sure to check Nino’s soundcloud for more on the man and go cop the Donky Pitch EP if you haven’t yet. As always you can stream and/or download below or simply subscribe to the RSS/iTunes feeds and never miss a show.

Next up is a guest mix from eLan as well as the last of our TSOM mixes from KEIZOmachine and Duct.

So after a two month hiatus partly due to earthquakes and other natural disasters we’re back with a regular Rhythm Incursions podcast, unsurprisingly shock full of new music and exclusives as I try and work my way through the backlog accumulated in the last two months.

Over two hours we cover a lot of ground this month with new and forthcoming music from Machinedrum, Cardopusher, Anti-G, Mr Beatnick, Neon Jung, Mark E, Downliners Sekt, Tom Trago, Jon Wayne, Africa Hitech, Shabazz Palaces, Com Truise, DZA, Eliot Lipp, LV and Joshua Idehen, Ossie and much more. We’ve also got some sneak peek exclusives from NastyNasty, Machinedrum’s Juke/Footwork project, our old friend from Amsterdam Coco B, Klic and a few others. Also on this month’s show a preview of the forthcoming Greensleeves dubstep remixes, with The Bug and Goth Trad. As I said a lot to showcase and a varied two hour ride into the freshest sounds we’ve been blessed to receive recently.

As always full tracklist and details are below as well as download and stream options. Or simply subscribe to our RSS/iTunes feed and receive the shows directly in your inbox.

Stay tuned for details of forthcoming guest mixes including live audio from our recent adventures in Japan. Also coming up in June are all our regular podcasts from Primus Luta, Raid System and myself as well as DDay One who’ll be back for one of his sessions. Oh and stay tuned to our Ustream channel for some surprise shows this week and next month!

We end the month of April with a delayed show from our Tokyo presenters, Raid System. Following the rather hectic times we had in Japan over the last two months we’ll be resuming regular broadcasting schedules as of May – Primus Luta will return on the second monday of the month, Raid System on the third and myself on the fourth (though I’ll likely be doing two shows in May to catch up on stuff).

On with the music though – our dynamic duo of XLII and Broken Haze return with an hour long dose of fresh new music featuring some of the tracks from our Nihon Kizuna compilation alongside new music from Nino, Tippper, Atropolis, Slugabed, Reso, Ooah, Zed’s Dead, Baobinga and many more. As always it’s a perfect balance of club friendly tracks and more mellow ones.

We roll into the last two shows of the year as the cold continues to descent here on London. First up is the Raid System family from Tokyo with their end of year show which was recorded live this past saturday during their monthly Ustream session which takes place at Asa’s JarBeat record shop in Tokyo’s Kichijyoji. The guys decided to forego the usual pre-recorded show for a live countdown of their 20 tracks of 2010. Apparently Broken Haze got rather drunk in the process, courtesy of Asa serving him tequila shots to rather interesting results. I’ll let you discover those for yourself.

Remember that you can browse, listen to and download all previous shows by the guys from our RIRS archive – which goes back to the show’s debut in April this year.

As for the tracklist we won’t be posting it for another week, to leave a small element of surprise to the show’s countdown. We’ll post the tracklist as of next week though!

For now I’ll let you enjoy Raid System’s top 20 tracks of 2010, recorded live at JarBeat records. For more on the boys don’t forget to check their site, and as always you can stream and/or download below or simply subscribe to the RSS/iTunes/email and never a miss a show!

Last show of the year will be my own best of 2010 round up which will drop early next week on the 28th if all goes to plan. Enjoy!

We roll into the month of December with the prerequisite end of year best of’s and playlists. Up first is Primus Luta with his RIPL show. He runs down his favourite joints of 2010, well the ones he managed to fit in, using his award system – which he premiered back in the summer with the mid-year awards.

In there you’ll find a veritable who’s who of labels and artists we’ve supported this year and since we started. Labels like Planet Mu (who got label of the year from me in November), Hyperdub, Warp, Brainfeeder, R&S, Project Mooncircle all feature alongside Alpha Pup which Primus decided to make his label of the year. The mini feature looks at the Alpha Pup’s output as well as that of the labels it distributes like Elm & Oak, Brainfeeder and Friends of Friends.

Here’s some words from the man himself on the show:

Awwe man this was probably my hardest show to compile, because there was just way too much good music this year. I feel bad for all of the amazing stuff that I left off. Even more, the whole time I’m compiling goodness just keeps dropping. Makes for an exciting 2011, but first of course a little recap of the incredible 2010. Back in August we did the RIPL Mid-Year Report, and so for this episode we’ve got the 2010 RIPL Awards. Tried to cover a good spectrum of things with this and give the respect where it was due, but again there was just way too much music to possibly represent it all in just one show. See you in 2011, promises to be killer.

We won’t bore you with more words and instead just let you get stuck in with what is definitely a great opening show for our end of year recap. It’s going to make my end of year show certainly more difficult to compile!

As always you can download and/or stream the show below. Or subscribe to our RSS, Itunes or newsletter and never miss a show (details and links below). Full tracklist with links to all labels and artists also below as always.

And don’t forget to check RIPL’s growing archive – there’s nearly 12 hours of music in there already for you to enjoy and discover!

For now though over to Primus who’ll take you through the RIPL end of year awards. Enjoy!

The Friends of Friends mix series returns this month after a gap in September, this time packing 30 minutes of heat from Cardiff courtesy of the Darkhouse Family.

For those of you new to the series, it’s a curation of guest mixes by the FoF label and our good selves showcasing fresh new talent from around the world who happened to be friends of the label or ourselves. So far we’ve had the likes of My Dry Wet Mess, Sven Swift, Asura and myself on the mix, and this month’s mix was curated by ourselves as the FoF work machine is in full effect following the recent release of their third split EP, featuring Robot Koch and Mexicans With Guns. That EP is out now and you can check tracks from it in recent shows too.

Onto this month’s guest mix. Darkhouse Family is a production duo from Cardiff who I came across this summer thanks to Om Unit and the Hoya:Hoya family in Manchester. The beats I heard definitely caught my ear and we soon got chatting leading me to ask for a guest mix. The guys have been slowly garnering attention, with an EP on Fat City earlier this year and shows in the UK and more recently in Amsterdam for Viral Radio. I’ll let them do the introductions though:

Darkhouse Family is the product of many smokey studio hours shared by Don Leisure & Metabeats… Linking up in late 2007 the duo gelled quickly over a shared musical heritage of hiphop and uk club culture and a loose beat tape project began to grow. This later turned into DHF after the old chopped up soul sample sound was replaced by a more synthed out, smoked out & synthetic sound that the group is known for… The Family Trees EP on Fat City Recordings put Darkhouse on the map with solid DJ support from Martyn, The Gaslamp Killer, Alex Nut, Illum Sphere, Kutmah, Dibiase & more.

This mix is just a collection of some new stuff we’ve been sent and are feeling and some of our latest beats also. One of the loose ideas of the mix was to showcase a bunch of new producers who are making dope tracks who may not be household names to everyone.

We are planning an LP in 2011 but will release some more material on Fat City hopefully this year and also undertake some remix work for Frite Nite and Jon Wayne. Don Leisure also has some solo project work on the bubble and Metabeats is set to release his 2nd LP on associated minds and also continues to shake skirts with his CRST project.

So there you have it. Ladies and gents the Darkhouse Family, a name you want to keep in your memory banks for the future and this short but very sweet guest mix will hopefully only make you want to go out and cop the EP as well as check them live. They have a show with Martyn in Cardiff this Thursday.

As always with our FoF series the photo for this session was sourced by the label, once more it’s Oliver Kish who delivers the goods.

Onto the mix though, stream and/or download below. If you like what you hear show some love and stay tuned for the next instalment in the series. Until then pump that in your 4×4!
