Don’t know much about Asura, apart from him being young and from LA. This song is off Unreleaseables, a free download EP that was released a few months ago. There are a few other great tracks on it, so its worth checking out.

Chad Valley   Fast Challenges (mp3) Chad Valley   Fast Challenges (mp3)

Chad Valley‘s new EP, Equatorial Ultravox, is to be released by Casine on June 20th. Below is Fast Challenges for you to download; a four-to-the-floor, reverb soaked piece of auto-tuned musical cheese. The track is, like those from Hugo’s previous EP, a thing of beauty. Chad Valley is playing on the BTG Beach Bar at Stop Making Sense Festival this summer; probably the perfect location for a set from this Crooner.

Gully Foil EP by Shankles Gully Foil EP by Shankles

Brilliant downtempo/electronica 7 track ep from Shankles; “Influenced by the likes of Four Tet, Clark, Nostalgia 77, Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and Alex B, the Gully Foil EP is a deep and twisted record, playing on beautiful melodies and bass-ridden breaks.” Really like the artwork too.

Huge remix of Johnny Jungle’s Killa Sound by Krome and Time, released on Suburban Base Records in 1995. I don’t know what any of the samples in the track are; if you do, let me know.

Arsonist, by Urban Shakedown, came out on part 3 of Labello Blanco Recordings‘ Jungle Massive vs The Hardsteppers series in 1995. It features the vocals of DBO General.

I remember hearing Zinc and Friction drop it at Exit Festival in 2007 and it sounded bigger and better than any of the other modern jump-up Drum and Bass they played that night (maybe with the exception of Konflict’s Messiah): mighty Jungle music.

Granted, I may have added it two days late but Hudson Mohawke‘s unique take on Valentines Day provides a much needed musical addition to all the nauseating paraphernalia. It is sure to sooth any owner of a lonely heart during this contrived period of material romance.

P-Funk is Pascal of True Playaz fame. This tune, P-Funk Era, was released in 1995 on Pascal’s label, Frontline Records. It samples Be With You by Mary J Blige. Quite simply a classic. If you don’t know this track then you are in for a treat.

Gunshot’s Wheel and Deal was released in 1994 on No U-Turn Records. The Ragga sample at the beginning is from Request the Style by Top Cat and the vocals before the drop are from Sweet Thing by Mary J Blige. Enjoy.

My mate (Nicholas Frederick Frank Franklin [no joke: that is his name; big shout to his parents for that one]) played me this mix of Renegade Snares, which is on the 1995 album Music for the Next Generation, during a recent trip to Copenhagen. I’ve had it on repeat ever since. It quite simply does not get much better than this; proper 4am music.
