Jack aka Space Dimension Controller turned 20 earlier this year at the Red Bull Music Academy in London and that’s where we met this leopard-print shirt wearing lad from Belfast. I can’t believe how fast this guy is blowing up and already having several releases out on Clone and R&S Rerords. His latest “Temporary Thrillz” release is a 6-track EP filled with tasty tunes. I never expected this to be so damn good, but when I heard “2EZ (Autopilot’s Lament)” I was immediatly sold.

This guy is on some whole other level and goes from straight mellowed out space funk to a mix of jazz, house and all sorts of other music which I can’t really put my finger on. “Transatlantic Landing Bay” is just ridiculous and will be played as often as possible from my end. Jack freaks the f*ck out on the keys and goes into a funked out frenzy building up to a point of no return. In other words shit is bananas! It might not be your cup of tea, but for open-minded music lovers this is the bizness and I’m getting me a copy over at Rush Hour this week.

tokimonsta-midnight-menu

Ex RBMA participant – miss TOKiMONSTA – is back with a brand new album called “Midnight Menu” which will be dropping next week on Japanese Art Union Recordings. I suggest you mark July 28th in your calender and draw a cute little bunny rabbit next to it. I heard some nice tracks on there so have a “Sweet Day”, enjoy the “Cheese Smoothie” and god bless your “Bready Soul”. We got to pick an exclusive track of the new album and stream it for our visitors (that’s you) so we had to pick this banger. Never had a “Cheese Smoothie” before, but I’ll try anything as long as TOKi’s buying. Big up to Yuji and Jennifer….oh if you want to order already do so HERE.

Jul 19

Earlier this year we had the chance to be a part of the Red Bull Music Academy, which took place in London this year. We tried to live the life of a participant and also brought our video camera along. You might come to the conclusion we are not very skilled videographers (yet), but nevertheless we wanted to share some of the footage we shot in London.

Today was marked in many agenda’s already, because it’s the official release date of the ‘RBMA Various Assets 2010′ compilation album. This time it’s available for everyone in digital form, so just head on over to the Red Bull Music Academy website for a high bitrate DOWNLOAD. Massive shout out to Deluge for the last minute edit and all the people we met in London. Next year Tokyo!!

various-assets-2010

Good news for everyone! The Red Bull Music Academy is dropping the “Various Assets London 2010″ compilation album on July 19th. If you don’t know the deal yet, check out this previous post and educate yourself. We remember this year’s Academy as if it was yesterday and we’d like to give a big fat shout out to all the participants we met, hung out with and befriended. Can’t stress enough what a fantastic project this is and topping it off with a compilation album is the right way to do it.

We were given the honour of bringing you this exclusive track by TOKiMONSTA featuring Andreya Triana, Oddisee and the homie Tranqill entitled “Jackin4beats Pt. 4″. Without a doubt one of our favourite tunes on the compilation. But with artists like Dâm-Funk, Hudson Mohawke, Robin Hannibal, James Pants, 00Genesis, Katy B, Space Dimension Controller, Kidkanevil, B. Bravo, Myele Manzanza, Ad Bourke, Swede:art and a whole lot more on there, you know it gotsta be funky. Reserve some space on your harddrive for this FREE high bitrate (320) release. Unlike previous years, this release will be available digitally and for some lucky bastards in physical form too. Spread the word, download, smile, cry…do whatever you feel like doing.

kidkanevil-basho

Kidkanevil sent us his “Basho Basho” album months ago, but my man Nev was too busy talking about coffee…as always. So on the late tip we bring you this Red Bull Music Academy participant who goes by the name of Kidkanevil. The 28-year-old beat maker has been keeping himself busy with the release of his new album “Basho Basho” which recently dropped on First Word Records. Fellow RMBA participant TOKiMONSTA (Brainfeeder) dropped a remix on us of the first leak called “Megajoy”. In case you were wondering where to buy…head on over to his Bandcamp or check out Kidkanevil - Basho Basho [Artwork: Matt Bailey..]
