A really nice mixtape i found at percussionlab from the user “Cuz”. Great selection and nicely crafted. Check it out!
“On a kind of leftfield chill out tip. Some wonky beats, some slightly upbeat moods, a bit of dub and some off piste instrumental hip hop. Names you’ll recognise and, hopefully, a few names you won’t. Enjoy.”

Falty DL – XLR8R Podcast 138
Falty DL has surprised our ears with many good tracks and mixtapes. I loved his Bravery EP, and the track Party, released on a 12″ on Ramp Recordings, is probably one of my 2009 favourites. I am very happy to spread this great podcast mixed by Falty DL including many of his own tracks blending perfectly with other 2-step, dubstep and garage tracks.
This one is very soulful and for easy listening..i really enjoy it.
Its already the scecond XLR8R Podcast is post here this month, but i you really gotta say…they are really doing a great job on the podcasts; also Trentemoller did an epic mix 2 weeks ago. I am very pleased!

3 obligatory dj sets in March 2010.
I´ve been posting almost just music lately..out of a good reason..there´s just so much good stuff out there that it is even hard to keep track. Anyway, here are my March top suggestions until now:
Scuba vs SCB – RA Podcast 198
Scuba aka SCB merged 2 sets from each act and produced one of the best sets of smooth dubstep, dubtechno and techno i heard in a while. This is one is big! The resident advisor podcast is obligatory anyway..they´ve been delivering quality sounds all the way. Go get this one as it is only available for a few weeks.
Download here or subscribe via Itunes.
DFRNT – Exclusive Percussion Lab Mix
DFRNT delivers a smooth “lovestep” mix. Great for the sunny days that are hopefully coming now…
Download and tracklist here.
Peverelist – FACT Mix 132
Tom Ford aka Peverelist runs Punch Drunk Records and the famous Rooted records store in Bristol. As written on FACT: “It was “recorded live with two turntables and a bag o’ acetate” just last week, and is “choc full of exclusives”.”. Great sounds, dubstep at its best.
Download here (only available for 3 weeks)
Phaseone Mix: Realest Sh*t I Ever Wrote
I found this really interesting mix by Phaseone bsed in St.Louis, originally posted Pitchfork as a “Forkcast” 2 days ago. Nice tracklisting and an eclectic mixture between bass music and modern electronica..sometimes weird sometimes uplifting. I really like it.
Update (forgot the tracklist):
Slowdive – Miranda
Curren$y – I’m just dope
Aphex Twin – Fingerbib
Nite Jewel – Want you back (phaseone remix)
Lukid – Hair of the dog
Talking Heads – Listening wind

percussionlab.com – a fine selection of dj recordings
I´m glad i found out about percussionlab.com. I think this is by far the best collection of good dj sets i´ve seen on one place in the web. With great musical diversity, this website is rich on content, organized and visually appealing. Again Praveen and Sougwen Chung i blogged about, are involved. All thumbs up!

Sounds by Sbtrkt, James Blake, Sepalcure, Rumblejazz and more…
I decided to share some of the tunes i´ve been finding across the web these days and that i´m really into. Regular readers of the blog may have realized that dubstep, 2-step and the UK and US bass sounds really work for me. The smooth and deep atmosphere found in some of the chilled dubstep tracks is unique to me in electronic music and the melancholic feel to the burial-like sounds is great, specially for this time of the year in northern europe. On the other hand the new garage and 2-step sounds being produced have a really fresh and funky feel to them…So some of this stuff is reallly groovy and danceable, and some ist just to lean back and think about the last time you´ve felt sand and salt-water between your toes. And it should not forget to mention that most of these tracks are recent but that im just posting stuff i like without wanting to present the freshest sounds around. Big up!
(Note: If some of the soundcloud players are not working properly please follow the link on the bottom. It will work on the soundcloud page)
Sbtrkt
The first 2 tracks are from Sbtrkt. First one is a remix by Sbtrkt from MJ Cole´s track “Sanctuary” released originally in 1999. I listened to MJ Cole for many years and i think this remix works great for the new directions garage is going. The second is dubstep but goes for smooth danceable rythm (forthcoming on Brainmath Rec in March/April 2010). Sbtrkt is a London based producer..have a eye on him!

SBTRKT – 2020 by sbtrkt
Shortstuff & Brackles
Third track ist from Shortstuff & Brackles, 2 producers based in south england. A future garage track, really nice melody and vibe. Shortstuff´s myspace is here, and Brackles here.
This track was released on the Compilation “Fabric Presents Elevator Music: Vol. 1″ in February 2010.
Sepalcure: Lovestep featuring Praveen in the mix and Sougwen Chung
Sepalcure is a collaboration of Brooklyn’s Praveen and Machinedrum. The two are creating something they call Lovestep, a combination of soulful house and 2 step beats. Here´s what they write about themselves:
“Sepalcure’s combination of love for bass and 90s house acapellas is the culmination of a cathartic two week collaboration between Machinedrum and Praveen. Their mix of tribal dub, house and two step beats works equally well for both late nights in the club and rainy, introspective nights at home. Detroit techno chords cut through wooden beats, neon synths and dubbed out atmospherics. Future lovestep.”I really like the idea and the´ve got proper support with the art direction by Sougwen Chung who produces imagery that goes with the music.
Sepalcure – Feeling That I Know So Well from sougwen on Vimeo.
This mix by Preaveen is from November 2009 and features some of the best mellow dubstep tracks from 2009. This works so well for the frosty winter here in Berlin..some of my favourite tracks are among these.
