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!

Our good friends up north, the Glasgow-based LuckyMe collective, are about to celebrate two years of their Ballers Social Club nights. Beffiting such a celebration they’ve got Jamie Vex’d, Darkstar, Rustie and LuckyMe’s own The Blessings together for the first celebratory party (not sure how many there are going to be however). In anticipation of all this they’ve dropped us a new mix courtesy of Respite, the man behind the BSC nights.

See below for tracklist and download link. Plenty of good stuff in there to keep those of you attending happy, and those of you who can’t attend can at least feel a little of the infamous BSC party vibes. I was going to go, but then my bank account said no.

For full details of the second birthday celebrations, tickets etc… check the Myspace. For now though sit back, light up a cigar, grab some cognac and bounce.
