First, the rips.
Hype Williams - Do Roids and Kill E'rything
I guess it's sort of like British (American expat?) witch house? It's surprisingly light on bullshit. I'm not sure if I tagged the files correctly, but the track durations match up with what Discogs told me.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Awesome new three-track 7" from the fascinating Hype Williams, a girl/boy flopped & screwed-as-f*ck unit operating out of London/Berlin. 'Do Roids And Kill E'rything' is their fourth single ahead of a hotly touted release for Hippos In Tanks sometime in the future. On the A-side 'Ooovrrr' dissolves Drake's vocals into a crack-throated gloop over gunky, lo-fi screw beats while warbling, palid synths hover in the background. 'Rescue Dawn' follows, a sludgy scrape of boxed vocals, disgustingly slow bassline and murkily optimistic synth chords. The flipside is a cover of Sade's 'The Sweetest Taboo', as you've never heard it before, refracted through a misty maze of ferric chaff with humming subbass pressure and a deliciously vague and smacked out nonchalance. Like the Salem album, also out this week, this is a disturbing take on pop culture with an uncanny awareness of lo-fi aesthetics and techniques that's just blowing our crooked boxes right now. Highly limited (500 copies only), and hugely recommended to fans of James Ferraro, Nite Jewel, DJ Screw or Games.

Lazer Sword - Batman
Features remixes by Nguzunguzu, Rustie, et al
--- Quote from: Innovative Leisure ---Lazer Sword is Bryant Rutledge (Low Limit) and Antaeus Roy (Lando Kal) who wrote and recorded the album in their former San Francisco stomping grounds before Rutledge moved to Los Angeles and Roy to Berlin. While the pair have dabbled in mixes, remixes and singles (including The Golden Handshake EP for the hotly tipped Numbers label), never until now have they realized a cohesive body of work.
It also finds them in the midst of a few friends guesting on the album including Antipop Consortium’s M. Sayyid, Freestyle Fellowship MC Myka 9, bizarro funk crooner Zackey Force Funk and Bay area hyphy don Turf Talk. But it’s the Lazer Sword boys who truly shine here, whether it’s the ghostly samples, skittering percussion and vocoder funk of first single “Batman” or the hip-hop stomp and swirling synths of album opener “Tar.” Detailed and intricate, Lazer Sword is certainly suitable for headphones, but with beats that slap this hard, these songs were made to rattle speakers and rumble dancefloors.
The double vinyl LP & CD both come packaged as an opening gatefold with a futuristic art layout by Swedish illustrator Kilian Eng.

Any Given Sunday (Keith Fullerton Whitman / Geoff Mullen) - Take Me To Your Dealer
This is another one of those releases that doesn't seem to jibe with the samples the site put up. It's possible that there was some sort of mix-up or perhaps my tape player is dying, but what was ripped is some dark, dark synth music is the same vein as everything else I've gotten from KFW's tape excursions. Same as before, edition of 100, numbered and sent by the man himself.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---It's a double whammy for the Agents Of Chaos label, following KFW's second 'Generator' installment with his 'Take Me To Your Dealer' tape, made with his close ally, Geoff Mullen, under the Any Given Sunday alias. This is still freeform and noisy territory, but there's a richness to the tone of their sounds and an over-riding sense of instinctive arrangement which keeps it from falling into outright noise. On the A-side their creation spits cautiously sluggish and fractured rhythms amidst mentally warped and often horrific sounds, deftly maintaining the illusion of traveling through nightmarish and outlandish territory without actually moving at all, touching the cavernous depths of frigid bass tones and out to the perimeters of cold hard electric surfaces while skeletal synth figures rattle and howl in the darkness. On the other side they seem to congeal their sound into a more fluid body before spurting breathtaking alien melodies and harmonics with a distinct Radiophonic feel, only Delia, Daphne and John have all licked some of Hoffman's special sauce and gone 3D. This cassette has just swallowed me whole, and if I wasn't in the office right now, i'd be lying down, eyes tightly shut and exploring the nether zones behind my eyelids with this tape playing as loud as possible. Highly recommended for lovers of properly alien psychedelic sounds!

Happenstance - Mobeer:010
Ltd ed 3" CDR. Weird, but pretty and accessible in a way that, say, KFW isn't.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---*The very last Mobeer release ever, handed numbered to an edition of just 300 copies for the world in beautiful bespoke packaging* And so we arrive at Mobeer 010, the very last installment of the Moteer label's "micro brewery" project. This release comes from the duo Happenstance, comprising Karl Eden and Chris Stewart (also known for his work under the Need More Sources guise). Once again the 3" CD arrives mounted on a bespoke beermat and ferreted away in a slipcase and brown paper envelope that's been stamped and hand-numbered. Across six tracks and around nineteen minutes Eden and Stewart fashion a real standout contribution to the sub-label's small yet perfectly formed catalogue. Marrying programmed electronics and tumbledown, folk-ish instrumentation, nestled away in here you'll find the gauzy strings and heated bass pulses of 'Knackered Tabernacle' and the late night Hawaiian guitar melancholy of 'The One Eyed King', with fourth track, 'Even My Goosebumps Shivered', possibly serving up the disc's finest moment when in its later stages it assumes the character of a spy movie theme put together by Joe Meek. In other tracks Happenstance evoke the spirit of their spiritual godfathers The Remote Viewer, particularly during the fluttering slow-mo post-rock of 'Go Tell It On The Molehills', while elegiac, brass-like synth tones and spluttering ukulele sonics are put to good use on the lulling parting shot, 'All Fish And No Chips'. And so, we bid a fond adieu to this lovely little label....

Still more where all that came from!
Spatial - INFRA004
The 10" came with a card with a geometric shape on it and a url. I visited the url and it prompted me to position the shape in front of my webcam, at which point a fairly awesome interactive "visualization" animation not unlike the cover art started up, along with a song that I didn't recognize. At the bottom of the screen was a link to a Soundcloud page with the song and a download. I've included it as an unofficial third track. Wicked cool goodie for the physical media consumers, probably the best I've been faced with. Great music, too!
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---While his Infrasonics label has been busy turning out solid goodies from Ike Release, Hot City and XXXY, Spatial's own productions have been scarce in 2010. His fourth release on the label adds some lean but juicy flesh to the bones of his future garage blueprints while factoring in a more feminine pressure by way of dainty 2-step melodies and diced vocals. The title might not give much away, but get '100402' on the floor and it's got some serious chops, flaunting super-slick percussive cadences and the cutest melodic wiggle. If that sounds too nice for you, '100319' tightens up with a finely crafted garridge swagger riddim full of tendon-twitching percussion and a hypnotic, heads-down-and-raving lead riff with a flourish of moody synthline energy in the final sections. Very smart trax!

Mark Ernestus / Burnt Friedman & Jaki Liebezeit - 5 7
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Truly mesmerizing outernational rhythm trips from Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound) and Burnt Friedman, reinterpreting secret rhythms from Freidman and Jaki Liebezeit. The Ernestus mix of '5' is a stealthily paced and loose groove, tucking Liebezeit's drumming into ornate swirls with a tumbling cadence, gradually adding of kilter stabs low in the mix until a final flourish of arabesque washes seals the cut with a sombre mood. Burnt Friedman's own mix of '7' has a more defined Afro-lilt with evolving rhythms finding a stumbling groove together with Daniel Schroter's Bass guitar and the distant sounds of Marimba (maybe?) placed deep in the lush scenery. Fans of Shackleton, Chronomad, Muslimgauze and, of course, Rhythm & Sound make sure to check this!

Kingthing - Mad Hatter EP
From the same camp that brought a pretty sterling Cosmic Revenge EP a few months ago. Great stuff.
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Strong Garage futurism from KingThing, following in the footsteps of XXXY, VVV and Loops Haunt on the excellent Fortified Audio imprint. The vibe is restless and rugged throughout the 'Mad Hatter EP' from warped 4/4 swing of 'La-Di-Da', spiked with spectral diva vox and peppered with twysting mentasms, through the fruity flex of 'Bump' and the canny balance of brittle woodblocks, almost baroque R'n'B melody and bristling syncopations in the title track. Craftiest of the lot has to be 'Neglect Me' swiftly switching between 4/4 speed Garage signatures and offbeat 3/4 swing with a deadly and effortless flow, nodding to the advanced calculations of Zomby and SBTRKT with a proper Urban flex. TIP dat!

Right now all of that is about half of what I have. The rest is digital, and I'm too lazy to hammer all of it out until tomorrow.

Eluvium - Copia (2007)
I think it's his best album. If you've not heard him before he makes perfect ambient music.
