Hello ladies and gents

look at your favorite band

now back to the screen

now back to your band

now back to the screen

Sadly, your favorite band does not have Christopher Lee

But if you stopped listening to your favorite band and started downloading this album, your favorite band could have Christopher Lee

Look down, back up, where are you? You're listening to Christopher Lee's classically trained voice assault your senses in the confines of your own home.

Look at your mouse, now back up, it's a link to their myspace where you can listen to a couple of songs off this album

Look again, the myspace is now a interview with Christopher Lee

Anything is possible when you listen to Christopher Lee and not your favorite band.

Blue Daisy & Anneka - Raindrops EP

Yet another stunning release from Blue Daisy, this time featuring vocals from Anneka and remixes from Permanent Vacation's John Talabot, and Sunken Foal. The two original tracks from Kwesi Darko aka Blue Daisy are as lush and affecting as anything we've heard from him yet. In 'Raindrops' Anneka sounds like she's been summoned to haunt, drifting between rickety drum machines, burred electrobass and Burial-esque atmospheres while a matrix of seasick compression effects enhance her spectral grace. 'Blood Petal Roses' is a grandly symphonic construction, breathing deeply with chest swelling bassline and a strong 4/4 pulse for use on the dreamiest dancefloor. Nu-disco don John Talabot spins 'Raindrops' as a gauzy, mid-tempo cosmic roller and Sunken Foal do their sumptuous pastoral 'tronica thing with 'Blood Petal Roses'. Imagine This Mortal Coil crossed with Flying Lotus and you'll know the feeling.

DJ Madd - On Top / Need This

Raime - Raime EP

Massively tipped debut from this new artist and label; Raime, and Blackest Ever Black Recordings. The UK based duo have forged one of the finest contributions to the darkened post-dubstep canon we've yet heard, distilling the essence of Shackleton's most maudlin moments with labyrinthine reverbs and salt-cured percussion over three tracks allegedly built from arcane industrial and post-punk samples. This 12" is already causing much consternation in the blogosphere; with Altered Zones, Simon Reynolds' Blissblog and Fact Magazine all singing its praises. 'Retread' initiates the session with an unnerving arrangement of suspended, ceremonial drums and an immensely affective choral drone, deployed with enough subtlety and atmosphere to really send shivers down the spine. 'This Foundry' follows, uncannily recalling the parallel dimensions of Balam Acab in its dragging Quasimodo flow and and vastly spacious sound design. 'We Must Hunt Under The Wreckage Of Many Systems' puts the final, frozen finish to the EP with a still, centred rhythm seemingly hung from flesh hooks in the ceiling while bowel shuddering subs disturb the flagstones below, shadowy reverbs skittering off cold, concrete surfaces. We've heard about a very special remix package forthcoming, but for now you'll have to flay yourself to this every evening. Outstanding.

Northworks - Northworks

Millions Of Moments introduce a new character to their roster with this heavy debut from Northworks pressed on a limited run of hand-stamped, clear vinyl. The sublime couplet of 'In'/'Out' establishes a deep blend of plummeting dubstep bass weight and shimmering ambient techno in the former, and a warm-but-glassy beatless cut for the latter, compatible with Roof Light's techno hybrids yet with its own mellow personality. 'Through' takes the longer side, unfurling an elegant techno sequence with roots in Detroit and Berlin. Highly Recommended.

Julio Bashmore - Batak Groove / Around

Julio is the latest bass head to release on Bristol's Soul Motive label, following in the footsteps of El-B, Joker, TRG, and Headhunter. As the title suggests, 'Batak Groove' prominently features the Batak drum, a frame drum indigenous to Malaysia and Indonesia with a hollow quality ripe for Julio's tribal style. It's among Julio's more reduced and restrained productions, placing it as a tidy DJ tool for long blends. On the flip 'Around' is a far more plush affair, striking a deep house groove with classically elegant strings balancing the low-cut bassline and efficiently clipped, laidback percussion.

Roof Light - Midas / Palm

One of 2010s breakout producers drops two boogie house heaters for MoM! If you've not caught his 'Kirkwood Gaps' album by now, you're sleeping on a good 'un, but no need to worry because you'll need this one also to get the full breadth of his style. On the A-side is a buttered slab of 100bpm boogie/soul reworking elements of Midnight Star's 'Midas Touch' with a touch of wind tunnel resistance and shoulder-dipping style. Over on 'Palm' he ups the pace to a Chicagoan 120bpm with slick strafing disco edits revolving around an elastic bass lick and utterly infectious drum shuffles. Get your dancing pumps on kids, this one's on a ltd, hand-stamped white label ting and will fly oot...

Ikonika & Optimum - Aqueous Cream / Ampersand

Ikonika and Optimum's Hum & Buzz imprint makes its maiden voyage with a fresh pair of 130bpm rollers from the label CEOs. Ikonika occupies the A-side with 'Aqueous Cream', adding ornate and overweight electro-gangster synth stabs and dramatic piano keys to her augmented Funky patterns to sound brilliantly unlike anybody else out there. Linking with longstanding pal and collaborator Optimum on the flip for 'Ampersand', the duo calculate an icy rollers riddim with super-saccharine synthline and flickers of organic warmth in the bassline and conga rolls providing the only salvation from their brazenly forward aesthetic. A very promising start... we're already looking forward to the next one!

I've included a 33 RPM fuckup rip of the A-Side, which I periodically produce on accident.

Didn't check the file size, probably could have done that. And I have the type of connection that a tiny liberal arts school that doesn't feel like springing for good internet has i.e. the kind where it takes over an hour to download an album. Sometimes over two.

Velour - The Velvet Collection

Night Slugs heat it up with four tracks of sexually charged Funky-tek from two incognito House and Dubstep producers. 'Booty Slammer' teases it in with a stroke of luminous pink riffage before cutting loose with throbbing 808 bass and sparing use of a flagrant "Inside Of Me" vocal snippet. 'The Scent Of Romance' follows, squirting out neon '80s synth juice over a tribalist rollers riddim from the skool of Julio Bashmore and the Dirtybird crew, and 'Kick It Till it Breaks' effectively sounds like Jimmy Edgar remixed by DVA. 'She Wore Velour' finishes on a hip-grinding swingers flex, kinda like a more sultry version of Bok Bok's grimy rollers. Lick it!

A Made Up Sound - Demons

Crisp and deadly dancefloor experiments from A Made Up Sound (aka 2562/ BlackOut), dropping on his self-titled imprint. With 'Demons' Dave Huismans stealthily incorporates an agile electro influence to his sound, pivoting his technoid syncopations around raw, snappy snares and ringing cowbells with unruly chords flying around the atmosphere in swarm formations. It's a little harder to pin down 'Extra Time', and that's always the sign of something worth your attention. Here he works out an agitated riddim built with shivering hi-hats and blocks of crooked, crushed percussion offering infinitesimal interpretations for the capable dancer. For fans of Actress, Maddslinky, Kode 9!

Cloaks - Desolate Turves

Grizzled and grimy five-track EP from the perpetually moody Cloaks. In the two parts of the title track they do their nastiest Scorn-style industrial halfstep, while 'Blackstar' is more of a slow pneumatic pounder doused in caustic crackle and 'Coil' chews up chunks of digital noise and regurgitates them as a sloth-like slab of dubstep terror. Heavy.

Modeselektion Vol. 1 (Modeselektor / Ramadanman / Bok Bok)

Advanced monkey-tek electro riddims from Modeselektor, Bok Bok and Ramadanamanadan on upfront, hand-stamped white label, limited to 100 copies! These three tracks initiate the colossal 'Modeselektion' series in firing style, from the critically-crafty concatenations of Ram's 'Pitter' to the bling-futurism of Bok Bok's ultra-urbane 'Say Stupid Things, and obviously the stadium rave of MDSLKTR's own 'VW Jetta'.

Funkineven - Heartpound / Another Space

Seriously rude wrigglin' acid jams from London's machine funk specialist, Funkineven. As the tenth release on the estimable Eglo records it keeps the label's remit rooted, yet open to all possibilities with what must be their toughest two jams to date. 'Heart Pound' looks to Chi-town and LDN circa '90 for inspiration, resulting in an anthemic acid jacker with future vintage vocals and KMS style rave signals. 'Another Space' is the one for us, lodging itself in that '92 eternal zone with rugged hardcore stabs, Detroit-esque strings and superbly deft drum programming with a fair hint of early 4Hero. Honestly, this is quite untouchable right now.

Sendex - Do You Really Just Wanna Dance?

Acid lights the way at the moment, from the dj sets of Aphex to the revival of the silver boxes in house music, the 303 has found friends again, and Sendex go all out for an acid assault on their new release. ‘Pure Acid’ starts with an emotional but simple string line that drags you in, fading in the acid underneath brings those memories back, and when the beat drops its perfect for the 303, fitting tight as a nut around each other, its an old school groove you cant afford to pass on. Also check the 303 twiddlings of ‘Just Dance’ with its acid droplets raining down on the simple toy drums of the beat, using the modulation the track is built up till the acid is a flanging monster that takes up all the space, rampant old school twiddling, great fun.

Vladislov Delay as Sistol / Scuba / Oneohtrix Point Never / FaltyDL / Walls - On the Brighter Side (Remixes Vol. 2)

Vladilslav Delay ropes in a stellar cast of contemporary electronic maestros to rework tracks from his album as Sistol. Furthest removed from the original material is Oneohtrix Point Never's Rainbro remix of 'Funseeker', effectively turning in a glorious addendum to 'Returnal' with soaring, spindly melodies embedded in a synthesized cloud of powdered glass atmospheres, chokingly gorgeous and affective as usual. Meanwhile, Falty DL continues an infallible run of form with his '90s Bleep Mix: When Purple Was Green version of 'Hospital Husband', a supremely crafty hardcore spinner with tightly tucked breakbeats and brutally low subbass, whereas Scuba drops a swinging Joy Orbison-alike version of 'On The Bright Side', and Walls turn 'A Better Shore' into a shimmering, sweltering mass of Kosmische synth swiirls with glistening production values. Excellent set.

Also, a cassette rip!


Chugga - Memphistophelis

Usually when I come across a cassette release I expect fringe music - hardcore drone, industrial, lo-fi folk - especially when I get one from a label calling itself “The Tapeworm”. But this particular cassette, from the duo called Chugga (not Chuggo, sadly) is surprisingly well-done instrumental hip hop and techno from Memphis TN circa ‘96, hence the name Memphistophelis. I Summer down in Memphis sometimes and visit family but I never had the opportunity to dig into the music scene beyond the surface-level blues’n’tourists attractions. In a lot of ways it reminds me of mid-90’s Beck, minus the vox.

Psychic Ills - Frkwys Vol. 4

Joining the microdots between Psych, Techno and Krautrock, Brookyln's Psychic Ills and the Frkwys label enlist Juan Atkins, Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), and Hans-Joachim Irmler (Faust) on a very special remix trip. In a genius A&R move, Juan Atkins is set to work on 'Mantis', augmenting the somnambulant repetitions of the original with a firm Detroit backbone while maintaining its psychedelic potential with subtly off-key tuning and a warped vortex of a breakdown. Seriously, after ten minutes of this you'll be doing it all over again. Gibby Haynes is offered 'I Take You As My Wife Again' on the flip, and turns it into an organically unfolding slab of analog avant-techno, gradually raising its systolic rate until it throbs like the heart of a mushroom foraging boar in the midst of a mindblowing trip, grunts distorted into the aether. Of all three remixers, we'd probably reckon Hans-Joachim Irmler has done the most drugs, and his version of 'Wichcraft Breaker' sounds like it, recasting the track as a vast cosmic vision of squally distortion powered by motorik bass and offworld tribal drumming. This 12" is really something to marvel at.

Lil B - Rain In England

Oh my days. Lil B and Weird Forest present one of the most baffling, polarizing, and OUT THERE releases of the year with 'Rain In England'; a collision of stream-of-consciousness rap lyrics and beatless, new-age ambient synth music. It's entirely the work of internet sensation Lil B, a "based" rap savant with more than 150 myspace pages, millions of views on youtube, and the most distinctive style in circulation right now. He's been aptly described as the "anti-Drake", a lo-fi and chronically underground character with an imposing glut of material. Weird Forest can evidently see the virtue of his music as a unique entity in a sea of homogeneity, moving rap music beyond the stale cynicism of backback hiphop and the bloated boasts and empty meaning of Gangster and Pop-Rap to occupy a position in front of the computer screen in his bedroom, as honest and grounded as the next man, only with the most naive and trippy synth music for company. To be totally honest, much of the music sounds like my 2 year old niece palming her casio keyboard, but that's a massive part of B's charm, that beautifully unpretentious, completely unconventional, and wickedly unprecedented juxtaposition of emotion and "based" technique which makes for an undeniably compelling listen. If you're going to make one wildcard purchase this year, 'Rain In England' could be your most rewarding. Then again... Check the samples and make your own mind up!

They weren't lying. I thought it was ridiculous until about the 4th song, by which point B's unrelenting, bullheaded earnestness had won me over. It's like listening to a personal diary. Sometimes he's quite brilliant, other times he's a complete trainwreck. A lot of this album really is bizzare, particularly B's "singing" on "Love Is Strange" / "My Windowsill" and pretty much the entirety of "Earth's Medicine", in which B takes the metaphor of the world being sick to such literal extremes that it starts off as weird, then stupid, then actually kind of amazing, back to stupid. I don't think I've heard anything quite like this record, but it is real. All too real.
