Stamp Mix #6: Henry Krinkle
Although Henry Krinkle stands some 4,000 miles away from what is considered to be the epicenter of UK Bass music, his sound has defied the distance, oozing a Post-Dubstep vibe very reminiscent of early pioneers James Blake and Mount Kimbie. When asked to describe his music he replied, "in all honesty, I would say it's...
New Artist: The Busy Twist
At just 21, Gabriel Benn (a.k.a Tuesday Born) and Ollie Williams (a.k.a Ollie Twist) are making some impressive African/Electronic fusion and self-releasing it off their own label, The People's Ear. Although they're based in London, much of the creative work goes on in Ghana where the inspiration for their music first came about.
Tracks You Might’ve Missed: Wiley – Energy Bubbling (Nirobi Re-Edit)
Robert Luis has been co-running Brighton's brilliant Tru Thoughts label for over ten years. He might have a good eye for talent, but judging by this re-edit of a Wiley track we came across recently, he's also a pretty mean producer, as Nirobi.
New Artist: Poo Bear (MDMA)
As a writer, Jason 'Poo Bear' Boyd has won four Grammys (including work with Jill Scott, Usher) and has also produced, written or featured on tracks with Lupe Fiasco, DJ Khaled, Kelis, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and heaps more. Turns out this guy can sing as well.
Stamp Mix #5: Alphabets Heaven
Alphabets Heaven is the alias of Brighton-based experimental beatmaker Jonny Wildey, who produces a progressive shade of Electronic music that has had him dubbed 'the UK's own Flying Lotus'. His fascination with atmospheric textures and harmonic progression has pushed his sound out of this universe and into a genre of its own, sitting somewhere between...
New Release: El_Txef_A – Breath
Hailing from the Basque Country in Northern Spain, 25-year-old House producer El_Txef_A probably hasn't hit your radar just yet. His debut album, Slow Dancing In A Burning Room, was released this March on his own imprint Fiakun - a mecca for contemporary House music. Not being much of a dance music fan himself, El_Txef_A has...
Stamp Mix #4: Zack Christ
Signed to Brooklyn's multi-coloured label Moodgadget ('representing everything from catchy Folk to melodic Techno'), Scandanavian producer Zack Christ has been spitting out a unique style of sample-based soundscapes that caught our attention last year when he released his mesmerizing debut Lucky Pork / Far East Side. The record combines beautifully dark textures and restless rhythms,...
New Release: Mar – Our Attempt
Dutch soul-singer Mar is back with bite this month, releasing the lead single off his debut solo EP Seeing Her Naked (slated for a release by the end of this month). Our Attempt begins with Drake/The Weeknd style production (fizzling string-pads and gittery Hip-Hop rhythms), which is then brought back down to earth via a...
