Lovely clicks ‘n’ piano. I’m not into this music, but I really love those staccato piano / noise glitches. I’ll need to dig deeper into this music, anybody can recommend me some songs?
They just released a DVD called ‘UTP’,you can buy it at boomkat.

Dark and moody, atmospheric, haunting,… the adjectives just stack up for this one by Warp’s most recent addition. The slow, deep groove takes you on a cinematic trip down a dark passage. Vancouver’s Cameron Reed’s first EP, “Shaved”, dropped earlier this month. Below you’ll find the title track, my favorite from the EP.
The video really captures the eery and dramatic feel of the music, adding another layer to the impact it has. It was produced by a motion picture collective named SALAZAR, also based in Vancouver. Their focus has been on music videoclips and other narrative work, and they’ve recently expanded their territory into advertising. Be sure to check the rest of their work, it’s equally awesome.
Another tune from DJ Morpheus’s ‘Freezone 2′ compilation. A classic DJ Cam tune, on Yellow Productions (label from Chris The French Kiss, yes, that’s Bob Sinclar). Beautiful laid-back summertune, love it to the bone.
The tune samples Dexter Wansel, Lady Miss Kier from Deee-Lite, Quincy Jones, and more (if you know more samples, leave a message!)
Bukarest guy TRG released a new EP on Tempa. The six tracks have more UKFunky / house flavour than I’m used from him. ‘Purple Lights’ is the track I like the most, with a repetitive and funky lead melody over fresh beats. Top!
But the EP at boomkat.
Lately I’ve been enjoying these mixes:
2 Oliver Deutschman mixes (Berlin sound). One recent. One slightly older. Very gifted DJ.
Ellen Allien Always Fridays guest mix.
Patchwork Pirates Fabric Promo Mix (anything from crunk to dubstep back to garage and funk). It’s quite hypa hypa but they just get away with it. Special attention goes out to the Notorious remix!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
Gil Scott-Heron is back with a new album, titled ‘I’m New Here’. This bass-filled spoken word track shows how his collaboration with XL-boss Richard Russell sounds.
Buy his album at boomkat, check his site to get this track as a free MP3.
The coming week(s), I’ll be posting some tracks from the excellent compilation ‘Freezone 2‘ by DJ Morpheus. For me, this compilation defined my taste in music. It features atmospheric laidback beats by top names like Kruder & Dorfmeister, The Mighty Bop, Ballistic Brothers and The Sentinel aka Photek.
Again some brilliant techno-dubstep crossover material by F, my favourite producer from the 7even camp out of France.
Ramadanman is back with a great new minimalist refix of James’ “Put It Back”, released on TAKE Records.
Mikkel Metal – Kenton
Copenhagen’s Mikkel Meldgaard started off his musical journey as a guitar player in various bands. By the mid-ninetees, he got into electronic music and started experimenting with beats and samplers. Towards the end of the century he found his sound in techno, heavily laden with dub influences. Nowadays we find him on Berlin’s Kompakt label where he continues his slow and driving 4/4 dubtechno sound.
Kenton EP was released in July 2009 on Echocord Colour and features a remix by Marcel Detterman on the flipside, which featured in Modeselektor’s Resident Advisor mix last September. (I prefer the original though. I just love the driving sound. It seems like this track never ends).
