Rhythm Incursions – April ’10

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!

Rhythm Incursions – March ’10

We return with another 2 hours of musical goodness, in time for Spring’s first glimpses too. Well I say that but now the weather has turned bad again here in the UK so maybe we spoke too soon. Still you can find solace in this month’s show thanks to a rather tasty line up of new and forthcoming music as well as a few exclusives thrown in for good measure.

This month we take a closer look at the All City Records label, a long time favourite here at Rhythm Inc towers. This year they’ve really stepped up their game with a follow up to their 2008 Beatstrumental 7″ series in the shape of the L.A 10×10 series (more on that here including some freebies) as well as a string of LPs, 12s and 7s from worldwide artists that reads like a who’s who of people we like: Onra, Devonwho, Muhsinah, and more. All of which warrants a mini feature and no doubt you’ll continue to see the label in our tracklist throughout the year (and most likely in our best of 2010 as well).

Alongside this we’ve got music from James Blake, Tom Trago, Bonobo, Free the Robots, Funki Porcini, Himuro Yoshitery, Mweslee, Shigeto, Mux Mool, FaltyDL, Gonjasufi and many many more. Oh and we’ve also got the world premiere (no lie) of the Shigeto remix of Om Unit’s ‘The Corridor’ a truly beautiful number that should see light of day in a few months as part of the digital release for the EP of the same name.

For now though, sit back, grab the pipe and slippers and settle down for 2 hours of some of the best music around in glorious 320 quality. As usual you can stream and/or download the show below. And may we take this opportunity to also suggest you subscribe to our iTunes, RSS or email newsletter so that you can get the shows directly to your inbox. Find the full tracklist and links to where you can buy all the music below as well.

And stay tuned for some very special guest mixes coming up including Throwing Snow, Himuro Yoshiteru, another Japan special courtesy of Raid System and a couple others I can’t just say right now.

Peace!

Rhythm Incursions: September 08

We return to the more ‘regular’ Rhythm Incursions shows this week, and with both Trick and Waxfactor unfortunately otherwise engaged and unable to step up as they normally do (real life’s crazy like that!) I’m strapping on my presenter goggles and bringing you an hour of fresh new music. Considering it’s been about 2 months since the last show, there’s quite a few bits to get stuck into from the likes of Mochipet, Mighty Joseph, Uncle Lew, Nosaj Thing, Mweslee, Dilla, Samiyam and Free The Robots. Oh and we’ve got a mini-feature on the excellent Various Production too. Read more
