"Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to MF, in multiple parts if the album is over 200mb."

I'm guessing this mysterious post implies you've had some difficulty with it?
or what?
2 discs, 2 rar files, both way under 200mb and still there
plenty of others have dl them, especially the scientist mixes - try again I'd say
or have I got you wrong there?

The two files that he's commenting on are .7z files, presumably created by 7zip. It's a good system, but not everyone recognises such files or has the software to open them.

Hyetal - Broadcast

--- Quote from: Pfork ---Back in 2009, it seemed that Bristol, England was the next breeding ground of UK bass music, with young hotshots Joker and Gemmy developing the futuristic, highly melodic "purple" sound. Outside of Guido's great Anidea LP from 2010, the Bristol scene's been weirdly quiet since that initial boom. Quiet except for young producer Hyetal (real name David Corney), who made heads turn last summer with his killer "Phoenix" 12". Pushing an atmospheric, quickly fluctuating style, the song seemed to nudge "purple" into a spacier, more ethereal realm.
Even with its lush builds and laserbeam synth breakdowns, "Phoenix" still had a thumping bass undercurrent, and anyone expecting that kind of club appeal may be surprised with the direction Hyetal's taken on Broadcast, his debut LP. Rather than pack the album with similarly bouncy floor-fillers, Corney's instead built a more sprawled-out, home-listening experience that takes its cues from film scores (John Carpenter and Tron feel like big reference points) and 80s synth music. But unlike the work of, say, Ford & Lopatin, this doesn't feel like a nostalgia trip-- for one, the production is clean and expensive-sounding, and the vibe is more future-vision than flashback.
There isn't a lot of thrust or outright melody (if it's big hooks you're after, you might want to look elsewhere), but Corney does excel at creating color and environment. With the chugging "Beach Scene"-- all clattering percussion and sparkly synth interplay-- it's easy to imagine the movie sequence this could be soundtracking. And even though bass and dubstep elements take a backseat on the record, Corney does occasionally incorporate them: "Searchlight" balances the album's headier aspirations with straight-up groove, weaving in a vocal house sample and propulsive, muted bass.
There are a few tracks here, "The Chase" and "Transmission" among them, that don't work as well; then Corney's vibe-building starts feeling too much like background listening. Perhaps because he's tried to make Broadcast an album, with thoughtful pacing and sequencing, he sometimes loses focus on what sounds best. (You see this a lot when dance-music producers get their first crack at a full-length-- e.g., Darkstar's 2010 debut.) The record also occasionally sounds too polished-- the production is generally very good, but without even a trace of grit or noise it can feel a bit neutered at times. Outside of that, Hyetal's first is a mature and accomplished album.

Lnkwood Family / Fudge Fingas / Linkwood - Miles Away
--- Quote ---A much needed reissue of this ace little 10" from Glasgow's Firecracker crew originally released back in '04. Linkwood family head up the A-side with a wicked Moodymann styled slack soul heads cut for the floor with 'Miles Away', a superbly velveteen homage to detroit beatdown styles with deliciously burnished horns and lights-down-low soul vox from Compost rec's Joseph Malik, butter stuff. Family friend Fudge Fingas contributes the irresistible vibes of 'Gettin' together' on the flip, a slow burning floor trak strictly for the heads with some perfectly studied classic soul edits woven into a loving homage to the Motor city more soulful side. Linkwood does the solo thing on final track 'fate' with a heady swirl of piquant keys and patchworked rhythms lending a fresh and psychedelic twist to the proceedings, brilliant stuff.

Lnkwood / Fudge Fingas / The Coplainers - What's Up With The Underground?
--- Quote ---Succumbing to massive demand, Firecracker records have repressed their legendary second EP, a part of the highly sought after 10" trilogy. Between the three artists involved here, Linkwood, Fudge Fingas and Bacon Rolls, are enough ideas, samples and restless dancefloor energy to fuel a small city if only someone could work out a way to harness such a thing. If you've heard the other two 10"s in the series you'll know what to expect, if not, it's probably the most potent brew of funk, soul, disco, house and even electro this side of Moodymann and has rightfully found a spot in the box of everyone from Gilles Peterson to Derrick May since it's initial release in 2005. Well fun*ed.

Linkwood & House of Traps / Fudge Fingas - EP4
--- Quote ---Disco, house and soul nuts may be experiencing chaffage right now after rubbing they hands in anticipation of this nugget. Firecracker EP4 is a hot toddy to the ears, featuring he usual outstanding attention to detail on the sleeve artwork and vinyl pressing, and astounding production levels on the record itself from Linkwood, Fudge Fingas and House Of Traps. 'Barely Eagle' on the A-side is the massive slow-disco winner that's been getting repeat rotation from the likes of Trevor Jackson, Trus'me and The Unabombers, practically coming with a satisfaction guaranteed insert, but our favourite has to be Linkwood's edit of 'Who La La?' on the flipside, chopping and splicing a boogie bomb with stupendous synthline dynamics. Cop a copy and you'll soon know what I mean. This leaves Fudge Fingas to round off an already essential record with the Ra-indebted cosmic soul of 'Situation Diminished', just in case you needed any more reasons. Very limited. Very big tip!

Vakula - Firecracker EP 5
--- Quote ---Heading up the latest Firecracker treat is DJ/Producer Vakula. His tracks have already graced esteemed imprints such as Uzuri and Meakusma but we reckon this is easily his very finest material to date. There's a real sense of psyched narrative structure despite the EP's brief length; perhaps it's due to the inclusion of his super low-slung intro and skit track, or his deft touch for Theo P-style mixing trickery, but whatever it is, it's got us hooked by the cheek. All the DJs must check for the cruising Detroit beatdown of 'Black & White', or those predisposed to properly laidback vibes will fall mad-deep into the rich atmospheres of 'You Can Do' and the smoky jazz tangibility of 'Different Tone'. Fans of Fudge Fingas, Linkwood, KDJ, Theo P, Trus'me... this is for you.
