Caspa & Rusko – Fabriclive 37
Nov 2011 04
Four years ago (Nov 1, 2007) Caspa & Rusko recorded this iconic mix for Fabric. For many people, such as myself, it was one of the first mixes that got me into the bass-centric music that we know as dubstep. To this day it is still one of my favourite compilations and in order to celebrate the anniversary of its release here it is for you to enjoy ;)


Nocow – Ruins Tape
Nov 2011 04

Not a lot to say here seeing as I don’t know much about this artist except that he is an electronic music producer from St. Petersburg, Russia. I found the music to be reminiscent of the Burial sound and that alone was enough for me to go and look for this mix tape of his – which has been released for free on his bandcamp page.


“Each track is like a pearl, born in the shell of an ugly oyster but shining bright, beautiful in its special own way. In fact, this beat tape pleads the beauty to be found in even the ugliest thing, the ruined and desolated elements that compose the realm of reality. Just take a look at the artwork cover to get a visual clue of what we mean. The rust is feared and scorned, but if you look close enough, it will start revealing to the spectator its delicate ornaments that make it beautiful. The eye needs to listen for the ear to see clearly, and this beat tape is the perfect argument to prove it. Did we mention it’s free ? Yeah. We’re like that at Gimme5. We give the beauty for the mere sake of spreading it. Round in circles, we dispel the wind overnight, up on a roof, and we allow a thorny path to be our long way home, though in doubt, the moonlight flit over the gill. If you don’t understand this last sentence, then you should probably rewind the tape and play it again – that is, if you bought the tape version, which you most definitely will, just cos a tape is the hypest item in this digital world. Then you’ll know, and you will be impatient, like us, to hold Nocow’s debut full-length LP. Soon”

Hyper – “My World”
Nov 2011 24

 

“As a hugely talented producer, remixer, DJ, label boss and composer Hyper has excelled building a loyal and global fanbase as well as commanding huge respect from his peers. Having shot into the consciousness of almost every dance head and aficionado ten years ago with the eponymous Y3K compilation series, he has since released two critically acclaimed albums, remixed everyone from  Foals to Futureheads, Pink to  Paul Van Dyke and released some of the biggest compilation series’ over the last decade.

The original mix is huge. Processed guitar’s power over precision drum-break edits, chunky synth lines whir and buzz and slabs of sub bass hold the foundation tight below the guttural bars of Dread MC and Genesis Elijah. First up on the remix is Ram Records flag-bearer, Hamilton. This guy is rolling at the top of his game a the moment, and doesn’t disappoint with this remarkable DnB edit. The production is snarling and super-tight with that unmistakable Hamilton groove. Dancefloor weaponry!

ILL Audio, Distinctives’ new signing, steps up next. He’s constructed a ferocious re-work that explores hi-energy dubstep territory to maximum effect. Ill Audio takes no prisoners! To finish, we wind it down a notch (or two) for Brioski’s disco edit. Stripping nearly all but the vocal from the original, this talented Italian’s refreshing adaptation finishes off the brace of remixes in style.

With an instrumental version for DJ’s and MC’s to boot, things are about a whole lot more exciting for the Hyper community worldwide!”
