Kode 9 & The Spaceape - Otherman / Love Is The Drug (Feat Cha Cha)
--- Quote ---Hyperdub's head honcho serves a first taster of his forthcoming 'Black Sun' LP with two mystikal entries featuring Space Ape and Cha Cha. Furthering his new, up-stepping sound from the '09 single 'Black Sun', A-side 'Otherman' sails in on signature, wheezing melodica surrounded by melting synth drones before Tech-stepped swing drums and cone-imploding subs suck the air from the room, perhaps explaining Spaceape's breathless, distanced vocal. Flipside, 'Love Is The Drug' introduces Cha Cha, an MC/Singer from Guizhou, China and in possession of a superbly sultry, spectral delivery, over a sleeker, heavy rolling riddim matched with melancholy synthlines twisted into mournful cadences. It's standardly moody Kode 9 business and a class tease for the album (which is absolutely ace, as it goes). Really into this - highly recommended.

Kode 9 & The Spaceape - Konfusion
--- Quote ---The original hyperdub duo make their presence felt in 2008 with a return to the melancholy off-kilter steppers style they came to define some 4 years back with that awesome run of tracks from 'sign of the dub' to 'backward'. 'Konfusion' is notable for the reappearance of in-house MC Spaceape, returning to curl his ghostly drawl around 9's darkside dubbers riddim in fine style. The track itself makes no effort to challenge any of the big rave hitters currently dominating the scene, and is so so so much better for it - instead relying on Mr 9's knack for moody blue bomb squad style dissonance in that archetypal Hyperdub style, minimal steppers meditations that hold a very special place in our collective memory. Spaceape has come under criticism in recent times, but mostly from heads that think a dubstep MC should be a lively fella with a big bag of catchphrases, but thankfully he sticks to his guns and provides the perfect layer of sliced banana to Kode's peanut-butter-on-toast riddim, proper chewy styles. Best Hyperdub in a while - and another absolute killer.

Agreed. It's surprising. They used to sound so raw.

Julio Bashmore - Batty Knee Dance EP
--- Quote ---*Features a bonus track exclusive to the digital edition.* Following his all-taking 'Everyone Needs A Theme Tune' session, Señor Bashmore drops two uplifting 'floor charmers, delivered through Martyn's boutique 3024 imprint. 'Batty Knee Dance' is a warm and fluid deeper House groove with added plump-bummed bass and 'floor sating vocals, but 'Ribble To Amazon' is the one you need, elevating any space it's played in with surging disco filter tricks applied to a criss, cowbell-lead electrohouse rhythm, kinda like a loved-up inversion of Instra:mental's recent outings.

Julio Bashmore - Um Bongo's Revenge / World Peace
--- Quote ---Anthem alert! After doing the rounds on dubplate and CDr between those in the know, 'Um Bongo's Revenge' from the hotly tipped Julio Bashmore makes a debut appearance on Claude VonStroke's Dirty Bird imprint. Coming at the end of 2009, this anthemic title track is purely indicative of the blurred boundaries and tropically heated fusions happening in UK dance music (Bashmore is based in London), and spreading bird-flu-like across the world (to labels like San Fran's Dirty Bird). On 'Um Bongo..' Tabla drums fuse with batty-slapping UK subs and ghetto siren calls with a sophisticated Berlin-style finish to ensures it ellicits the same reaction from Ibiza to Inverness, no messing. Basically every DJ and their dog is playing it, and with good reason. On the flip, 'World Peace' shows a more sublime side to the young producer, perhaps coming off like Joy Orbison if he made fresh tech-house or Geeneus if he went the whole way and decamped to Berlin. And like that fateful Joy Orbison 12", both tracks are built with an innocent freshness and vitality that will ensure their inclusion on playlists for time to come. Ace.

--- Quote ---Rules:
The first rule of this thread is you do not mention MF. I am doing this because we are currently the first hit for the full version of "MF thread" on Google, so y'know, that's bad n' shit.
No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.
Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.
Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to MF, in multiple parts if the album is over 200mb. The reason for this is that we know MF is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.
Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.
Also, please do NOT request albums. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.
Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

Machinefabriek - Apollo + Bonus
--- Quote ---Engrossing 22 minute missive from Machinefabriek: an alternative edit of the soundtrack for Makino Takashi's film 'In Your Star', recorded by Rutger Zuydervelt, December 2010 and January 2011. We're completely and utterly pinned to our seats with this one - and not even metaphorically - as soon as the wave of subbass creeps in and takes a hold at the start of 'Apollo' this becomes an intensely visceral, physical experience when heard through headphones. Seriously, my vision just went blurry and I got a cold sweat! Anyway, after lift-off the intensity subsides and Rutger settles into his trajectory, making microtonal adjustments to arcing, glassy tones and disturbing the surface with build ups of crystalline digital grains fogging the display until we're pretty much lost out there in the inky blackness. Includes a digital-only bonus track recorded live in Tokyo.
