The Qemists featuring Jenna G - Hurt Less

Jenna G offers her take on lyrics with substance: of obtaining pain through the everyday, as depicted in the official video (link below), but only to rise against it all and do your thing with style. The music, played by the trio from Brighton, is in toe with the lyrics, a blast of metalised drum and bass, heavy use of rocky drums and a live sound that isn't too far away from Pendulum's. A connotative moral victory - though not of one that you can impart on the kids! Another cool release and follow up to 'Your Revolution' from the guys at Ninja Tunes.

This below is the 'My Digital Enemy Remix' - a dancefloor housey take on a rocky original.



Release Date: 18th July 2010
Label: Ninja Tune

Kidkut - I Love 04

Who is Kidkut? Well newsicmoos came across his breakbeat sound whilst browsing one of the best compilations of the summer: Ibiza Rocks Reclaim The Dancefloor. A relatively unknown puts his knowledge of sub cultured underground music and applies it to this release; a dedication to reminiscent sounds of the breakbeat past, with a touch of sophisticated updating. The likeness to 808 State's 'Pacific' in the breakdown of this tune does no harm whatsoever. After a bit more research, it seems the label, Immerse Records, was launched by Bristolian Kidkut 4 years ago.

A bit wonky, a bit breakbeat. Enjoy.

High Rankin - Cut You Down
A layered intro, liquid sounds, bleeps, low synths, quiet bass and an overall electro-dub outlook. It's as if this release is an example of how garage music has adapted into the modern musical day.
Enjoy!

Smooth, Nookie, Utah Jazz - Drumwise EP

With two tracks on this EP, the combined efforts of Smooth, Nookie and Utah Jazz offer a seismic release of happily epic proportions. An uplifting track which evokes reflective emotion, a subtle deployment of drops in snare then bass, and a jazzy, sunny and soulful drum and bass outlook. Ahhhh :)


'Jealous Eyes (Utah Jazz Remix)'

Label: Fokuz
Released: July 2010

Magnetic Man featuring Katy B - Perfect Stranger

Magnetic Man is causing a storm at the moment, with the teasing ways in which no full tunes aren't posted anywhere until released. On YouTube, for example, they have created cleverly edited clips that entice you enough to search vigorously for more. I predict that we will look back at 2010 and remember the ways in which Magnetic Man (Benga, Skream & Artwork) shook the very foundations of dubstep and rebuilt it in their own way. Big up & watch out for these guys! I..need...air..re-ye-yah!


'Perfect Stranger @ Glastonbury'

Now, I did link this video way before & it will probably get linked again later in the month for when it's officially released - a premonition that on the week commencing 25th July, nothing will be as good as thei single 'I Need Air'. So, here it is, the anthem, the classic, the vintage, the one and only.
