From the first seconds, I understood this was a song I’d like. And yes, Stars turned out to be a perfect mixture of poppy sounds and a trembling dubstep bass kicks. Starkey teams up with angel-voiced Anneka for this Planet Mu release.
Again, available at boomkat.
Breakage releases his second album ‘Foundation’ next week, and we will be showcasing two tracks of the album on Worlds Below. First one is the long awaited cooporation between Burial and Breakage. ‘Vial’ is cold, minimalistic and a perfect combination of Burial’s soundscaping talent and Breakage excellent production skills. It’s not the most touching track from Burial or Breakage, but nevertheless very good yes indeed.
Foundation is available at boomkat.
Superb well crafted remix by Mount Kimbie for LV & Untold. Rattling drums, cut-up vocals and a reverbed-down housey synth loop makes this track a melting pot of twisted and pleasant sounds. Lovely!
Will be released any time soon (next week I thought?) on Untold’s Hemlock label, so order your copy at boomkat.
New release on Berlin’s mysterious EQD label. Dirty and funky tech-house banger, that keeps on going. And it’s therefore at non-stop replay at Worlds Below HQ. Killer!

Playhouse reprints the ‘number one’ album of the last decade (according to Resident Advisor): ‘Alcachofa’ by Ricardo Villalobos. ‘Dexter’ was one of the tracks that brought me more into the slower bpm spectrum of electronic music (I was quite an adept of 165+ bpm music). A well deserved winner of that poll, what an album.
‘Nouvelle Histoire’ by Von-D, check it out. It sounds like if Ramadanman would do a ‘Logical Progression’ session back to back with Martyn. Pure bliss!

Fact magazine premiers the first video for Scuba’s new album Triangulation (watch another track from this album here). ‘Before’ shows how diversified we can expect ‘Triangulation’ to be. Forget dubtechno, this will be pure Scuba. We can’t wait to get our hands on that album!
Catch him @ Vooruit alongside 2562 and Untold this Friday, and say hi to the Worlds Below crew 
Put on your headphones for this one. The details in this track are so lovely you need to hear them fully concentrated. ‘Yulquen’ featured on Autechre’s album ‘Amber’ from 1994, and is my favourite track of that album. Again, melancholy is the main emotion here, like in most of my favourite music.
Somebody should make a nice video for this track, it’s made for some visuals!
Distance’s classic track ‘Fallen’ (listen here) got the remix from Vex’d on Planet Mu. Those triggered vocals and the reverb on the snare give the track a haunting atmosphere, but near the end fresh pads announce a moodchange. Before the moodchange comes into full effect the track finishes. Twisted and brilliant stuff.
Released last month, available at boomkat of course!
James Blake – Air & Lack Thereof
Mount Kimbie’s talent James Blake just released a new 12″ on Hessle Audio that’s too far out there. People acclaim he’s defining the second wave of dubstep, but I can not grasp it. His style is unheard and as with all music that’s pushing the boundaries it takes a while before I can see the beauty of it. I’ve put an audio file of the new 12″ ‘The Bells Sketch’ on our facebook page. Feel free to discuss!
I really dig his Mount Kimbie work, and his debut single on Hemlock Recordings: ‘Air & Lack Thereof’. The atmosphere he creates in this track is mysterious, yet sunny and naive, an unheard combination of sounds and flow. Although difficult to grasp, a guy to watch in 2010!
