Mashin’ Beats:
One of our favorite Kiwi producers, Mark de Clive-Lowe, has been residing in Los Angeles for quite some time now and has returned with his “Renegades” album on Tru Thoughts. Still lots of West London Broken Beats and other melodic uptempo flavors as well. Mashi gets a little help from various vocalists such as Omar, Sheila E, Tawiah, Bembe Segue, Nia Andrews & Ovasoul7. All in all a great new album to shake them hips to. I’m sure the club DJ’s are gonna be happy with this one cuz it sure do bump. Pre-order the CD over at Rush Hour or get a digital copy at  .

From Berlin to London to Lonely Town:
As you guys and gals might know, we’ve been supporting the half Chilean producer called fLako for quite some time over at Moovmnt. We’ve met a few times and he is a very humble guy. He’s been living in London for a while now and is releasing his brand new project entitled “Carving Away The Clay” today. This EP is on some new and improved shit and clearly fLako has been evolving in sound and style over the past few years. The text below expresses the thought behind the EP, which will is available on 10″ vinyl (Rush Hour) as well as digitally via Bandcamp.
‘Carving Away The Clay’ impresses upon the idea of an ongoing process in which raw material is stripped off of anything superfluous or impeding until the essential parts of ourselves are exposed. It is a never ending process of striving for perfection in all areas of life.

Ya’ll know our homie AD Bourke from his funky “Mirage” album. What you don’t know is that he’s back on some other shit with with his “Tidal Motion” EP, coming out next week on Space Dimension Controller‘s Basic Rhythm label. This just sounds incredibly dope, but what do you expect…it’s kind of an RBMA 2010 affair.

Producer/Musician Proh Mic is preparing his album release “Rhythm for Days” dropping on October 25th via All Natural Inc. His last single on All Natural Inc was straight bangin’ with on the A-side, “Turn It Over”, which sounds like an up-tempo eighties joint with Coultrain on the vocals. Even nicer perhaps is the B-side, “Sleep In Girl”, featuring Tone Trezure, which is available as a limited free download now (1000 times max).

Robin Hannibal grew up in Copenhagen and is THE man behind both Quadron and Boom Clap Bachelors. Last year I got his “Bobby” EP, which dropped on Circulations. Honestly I didn’t think it was quite dope enough to post about, so I decided to let this one slide. Now more than a year later I get this email from Plug Research about how they’re re-releasing the EP so to speak. Wasn’t all that interested until I heard this one bonus track that made me change my mind. You can still cop a vinyl copy at Rush Hour or go for a digital download including bonus track at .

Been waiting for this for a while now, but it’s finally out. Picked up my copy at Rush Hour yesterday and I can only urge you to get the new Floating Points 12″ on Eglo asap. This one song “Marilyn” had me trippin’ out for weeks and “Faruxz” is also pretty proper b-side if you ask me. Get your vinyl at Rush Hour now and support good music!
