A few days back Brainfeeder member Mono/Poly released his debut album “Paramatma“ on Tasteful Licks. Finally, cause we have been waiting for this since Front2Blaq’ “Beatscientist Busy VS Mono/Poly Mix“ . The album is a mix of experimental beats, dub-step, and astral soundscapes. I will probably put this right behind Flying Lotus “Cosmogramma” in my playlist.
The Paramatma USB Card contains the full album as 320kps MP3s, artist interviews, exclusive photos and artwork, unreleased tracks, remixes, and some other neat stuff. Buy it now on

Red Bull Music Academy 2010 participant Illum Sphere drops the first vinyl ep of a two part album. ‘Long Live The Plan’ features six new tracks plus a Samiyam remix. I personally first heard of Illum Sphere from MyManHenri, who put me on to this Illum Sphere Dublab Mix. After hearing the 7′ with Mono/Poly we knew Illum Sphere was someone to follow in 2010. This new EP is scheduled for a december release, but already got a first spin on Benji B and Mary Anne Hobbs. You can head over to Fat City for more info, or just follow Illum Sphere on Twitter..

Volume 2 continues where the first left off. Twenty exclusive beats from forward thinking producers the world over. Exciting and contrasting instrumentals from known producers such as Danny Breaks (Alphabet Zoo / Droppin’ Science), Dorian Concept (Kindred Spirits), Dimlite (All City), Ras G (Poobah) & Samiyam (Brain Feeder), Exile (Sound In Color), Fulgeance (Musique Large), Nosaj Thing (Alpha pup) Dizz1, Low Limit & Tiago, Devon, Busy…and more
Compiled by ‘beat connoisseurs’ Cinnaman & Jay Scarlett, the compilation touches on many different angles of ‘this music’. There’s introspective, tripped out and buzzing synth scapes, short popping electronic songs to full-on MPC party thumpers.
Ever since its first releases, almost three years ago, Beat Dimensions has aided the developments in beat orientated music, becoming almost a genre in itself. Releasedate October 6th. Pre-Order now on Rushhour.
