Burial / Four Tet / Thom Yorke - Ego / Mirror
--- Quote ---*One per customer only.* Here it is, the one you've all been waiting for since, errrr, it was announced on tuesday! Thom Yorke, Four Tet and Burial have collaborated on two tracks, 'Ego' and 'Mirror' for Kieran Hebden's Text label. It's the second time Hebden aka Four Tet has appeared with Burial, again on a black-on-black vinyl/centre label/sleeve combo, and actually the 2nd time Burial has appeared with Mr Yorke, following his remix of 'It Rained All Night' a few years back. At a guess we'd say Mr Hebden had a larger hand in 'Ego', judging from the tinkled marimbas and purring beat, while Burial's influence is clearly apparent on the defined 2-step pivot and emotive impact of 'Mirror'.

Addison Groove - Work It
--- Quote ---Addison Groove (aka Headhunter - as if you didn't know) drops his 2nd 12" of Juke, Dubstep and Electro hybrids for Loefah's Swamp 81 label. 'Work It' deploys straight-up 808s in a straight-up Electro framework, shelltoes and Adidas ziptop almost included. Flip it and 'Sexual' rolls on a Jukin' vibe with plumper subs, flickers of hi-hat rhythms and an altogether more senuous vibe than the turbonator bounce of the flip. 180g vinyl comes housed in a head-turning sleeve of typical Swamp 81 quality.

TRP - CS E.P
--- Quote ---L2S drop yet another debut release this time from 4 piece group TRP.
TRP have exploded from the ether with a sound that will simply blow you away! Smoothly fusing Detroit Techno with Garage in such a way as to create an entirely new approach to Future Garage! Truly a collective to make your speaker smile!
“Tear Gas” has been gaining support from Whistla and Blackmass to name just a couple of high profile backers, with its smooth build and intense bassline this is a dancefloor smasher! Followed by “D’roaming” a more chilled and funky affair perfect for late night sets for the stamina clubbers. Third is “Outlaw” skirting as close to house and techno as possible whilst still retaining a “garage swing” this is a track you will hear all year in clubs the world over! Finally is “Squiggle”, a fusion of intense funky beats and bass with distinctive TRP overlays of outrageous melodies and soundscapes.
This release will break boundaries right across the “Bass Music” world, TRP have arrived!

Instra:mental - Resolution 653 LP Sampler
--- Quote ---Nonplus maintain a relentless streak of form with this stunning sampler 12" for Instra:Mental's forthcoming debut album 'Resolution 653'. The duo's production values have never been in doubt but this time executed to a fierce degree. Face up, 'Thomp' operates like some Cyborg funk ritual, deploying Untold-style, cone-folding kicks and grazing percussion with earth-moving subs and minimalist splashes of airlock pressure synths. Face down, 'When I Dip' is a certified future rudeboy anthem (by the international association of future rudeboys, don't u know), a double 'ard electro rocker intensifying original New York, Miami and Detroit memes with a 2012 production palette. Check the samples - just so good. Highly recommended!!!

Four Tet / Caribou - Pinnacles / Ye Ye
--- Quote ---Finally here, the highly anticipated split from Four Tet and Caribou's Dan Snaith under his new Daphni alias! It lands on Four Tet's Text imprint, the label he reserves for specials such as this and his acclaimed Burial collab. In typical multi-tiered style, Hebden's 'Pinnacles' finds its groove in a shark-eyed spy funk intro before lurching into a swung 4/4 with multiple layers of bristling polyrhythms all rubbing against eachother in frictional harmony with an overarching, dextrous jazz looseness. Working as Daphni on the flip, Dan Snaith seduces us with a stomach-fluttering intro of tentative, padded bass and zither, kinda like Michael Mayer jamming with Larri G, before the bass takes control and your body is given to the darkly tinted jack. Basically, everyone is going to want a copy of this so act fast.

Lowtec - Wonderkidd - Looser
--- Quote ---Workshop's Lowtec licks up two deeply dipped grooves to follow recent Nonplus heat from Actress, Boddika, and Kassem Mosse. He's an unexpected name to crop up on this label for sure, but the clip of his grooves makes total sense considering the label's current agenda. A-side features burnished, beatdown-vibing chords and samples alloyed to a crumpled 4/4 with a proper Berlin backroom meets smoky Detroit basement feel. Flip it for the killer, grumbling groove of 'Looser', maintaining a deadly tension with hovering, Shake-style string edits and a welting 4/4 jack guaranteed to shake the walls wherever it's deployed. So baaad! TIP

edit: Bonus upload as well as snarky comment! Here's Ramadanman's EP.
--- Quote from: boomkat ---Ramadanman's self titled doublepack is his first of 2010 and only his second for his Hessle Audio imprint. Coming in quick succession after Pangaea's tremendous double EP and the smoking James Blake record it marks a maturity in the label, a confirmation of their status beyond purveyors of strictly dancefloor anthems. Ram's offers six tracks showing the breadth of his tastes and abilities, ranging from hardcore/jungle twisters - the emotive rush of 'Don't Change For Me' and the rugged 'A Couple More Years' - to craftily concatenated experimentalism on 'Bleeper' and a pair of fluidly futuristic riddims in the style of Untold on 'No Swing' and 'Tumble'. The jungle cuts are stylishly classic, lifting elements of Foul Play or Omni Trio and updating them with the Hessle polish, while those Untold-style tracks are just supreme, nailing that dynamic flex between maleable subs and cheeky blocks of percussion. There's a very good reason why everyone from Villalobos to Francois K and Oneman play Ramadanaman records, click the samples and realise!

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (1971) - 320kbps Vinyl Rip
--- Quote from: Pitchfork ---Maggot Brain is the peak of the Funkadelic experience. The songs jam harder, the way out stuff is way fucking out there. Seriously, how many dimensions is Hazel traveling through on the instrumental title cut? His 10-minute guitar soliloquy is a spiraling model of the blues filtered through a psychedelic lens, and almost single-handedly places him in a realm with Hendrix, Jimmy Page, and Eric Clapton as one of the great classic rock guitarists. But it got better: "Super Stupid" was the tale of a dumbass junkie set to a tune Black Sabbath would have been proud of; "Hit It And Quit It" is a funk anthem where keyboardist Worrell gets his licks in and the beat turns around a dozen times before we hit the chorus; "Can You Get to That" is honest-to-whoever pop that showed Funkadelic could be serious from time to time, especially when it came to social commentary (and also featured Isaac Hayes' female background singers, giving it a classic soul sheen), and "Wars of Armageddon" (recently, wisely used by Optimo on the Psyche Out mix) is a knock-out-drag-down fight to the death between the world's best rhythm section and paranoid, psychedelic sound effects and crowd sounds. Maggot Brain was an explosive record, bursting at the seams with exactly the kind of larger than life sound a band called Funkadelic should have made.

--- Quote from: Wikipedia on the opening song Maggot Brain ---According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead but the rumor wasn't true.
The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans.
Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized the power of Hazel's solo and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar.
Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and the ending as "an emotional apocalypse of sound."
The entire track was recorded in one take.
