Rhythm Incursions – July 2010

We return with our last regular show of the month, as always bringing you 2 hours of musical freshness and this month we waste no time with two mini features and a heap of forthcoming releases and exclusives.

Up this month we have new and forthcoming music from Letherette, Terror Danjah, Svpreme Fiend, Prof Nalepa, Natural Self, 8bitch, Ol, Katzuma, Pale Sketcher, Christopher Willits, Guido, Hudson Mohawke, Exile, Shigeto, DELS, Wrongtom and Roots Manuva, Space Dimension Controller, Lobisomem, Ikonika, Lone, Take, Tokimonsta and more as well as a sneak preview of the new Mexicans With Guns release and a few Planet Mu and Ghostly releases. Alongside all this we’ve got some favourites from Blundetto, Mr Beatnick and O.N.O as well as two mini features.

The first mini feature looks at the recent output of the Soularp label, including releases by producer Erik L and Stray. I was put onto them by Jay Scarlett and I must admit I’ve really been impressed by the overall quality and variety on display. From beats to club bangers via 80s throwbacks, Soularp have been putting out some good stuff and this mini feature helps to shine a little light on that.

Following this our second mini feature looks at the recent Froots remixes release by In Vitro Records, which saw them give the tracks from Jean Jacques Perrey and Cosmic Pocket’s Froots album to an impressive selection of new school hip hop, electronic and skwee producers to flip. The result is a double CD which is just as demented as the original but obviously has a bit more mass appeal. We’ve picked out three remixes from Kelpe, Himuro Yoshiteru and Eero Johannes as a little taster but really you need to check the whole thing as it’s well worth your time.

As always you can direct download and stream below as well as check the full playlist. Subscribers will already have the show waiting in their RSS or iTunes feeds.

That’s it for this month, enjoy the music wherever you may be and stay tuned for the long overdue site revamp next month as well as the usual shows from RIPL, RIRS and myself alongside some tasty guest mixes from DJ Pain and Vangel among others.

Rhythm Incursions: May 09

Right then, we roll into the summer months like a heatwave with a show packed to the rafters with new music, exclusives and a few old favourites. In a bit of a departure from our normal shows, I opted for more of a mix feel to the show this month. With so much music to showcase that was the logical option, though you still have the pleasure of my unimmitable presenting style, complete with dodgy French accent.

On the show this month we have new music from Nadsroic, Mike Slott, Dimlite, Danny Breaks, Scienz of Life, 2nd Class Citizen, Ceschi, Dizz1, Mad EP, DJ Food, King Midas Sound, Architeq, Om Unit, Memory9, Wrongtom vs Roots Manuva, Loops Haunt, Paul White, Fulgeance, FaltyDL, Joker, The Grouch, Busdriver, Ben Sharpa, Machine Drum, Waajeed, Dorian Concept, and more.

And if all that wasn’t enough we’ve also got two mini features this month: one on the excellent new Beat Dimensions vol2 compilation from Jay Scarlett and Cinnaman and the other on Nosaj Thing, who releases his debut album this month on Alpha Pup. The Nosaj Thing feature was long overdue considering how much we’ve enjoyed and supported his music on the show over the last year.

So without further ado, get stuck in with Rhythm Incursions May, 75 minutes of musical goodness to help bring in the summer vibes. Full details on where to buy all the releases can be found in the playlist.

As a last note a big thank you to all the listeners and visitors who have made Rhythm Incursions such a popular show according to our stats: we’re clocking an average of 1200 downloads a day across the site, which is no mean feat and a pleasure to know considering Rhythm Incursions is a totally independent show run by ourselves in our own time. The best reward is to know that people are enjoying what we do, so once more a big thank you to all listeners past, present and future.

Enjoy!

2tall – Rebirth Of The Beat

This week’s podcast comes to you from another member of the Rhythm Incursions extended family. 2tall should need no introduction to regular listeners, but just in case I’ll leave it to him to do the introductions: “long time TTR/RI musical contributor, ex-DMC battler/turntablist, performer/showboater/nervous white guy with the correct arm movements and limited knowledge of music”. When you put it like that, what else is there to say?

Seriously though, those of you new to the show should check out the exclusive track from 2tall’s latest album, ‘The Softer Diagram’, which we featured a couple of weeks back. The album is out now, in physical and digital stores.
