Jatoma – Helix (mp3)

This percussive slow-burner doubles over itself and becomes quite a banger. The undulating keys really work to make the snares stand out. For me, it is the highlight of Kompakt’s latest compilation, I really look forward to more material from the mysterious Jatoma, who are currently virtually unknown.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs released his 2nd E.P. in June on Greco-Roman. From the 4 tracks it’s the meandering bass-line of That One which I find myself playing the most. Too many producers seem to write functional music that doesn’t develop and relentlessly churns out the same 16-bar phrases, relying on the mastering being really loud in order to maintain interest. That One, on the other hand, switches up every phrase with subtle drums hits and, most noticeably, the cool wobbly bass sound after the first 16.

Here are some remixes of his that I posted a while back that you can download, well worth a listen. Look out for another T.E.E.D. release in November.

This track reminds me of MJ’s Thriller meets Dam Funk in minimal tech land.

This is a collection of songs that I’ve really been feeling over the past couple of months. I’ve been sitting on a few unreleased tracks for a while, so they are all pretty much available now. And most of them have been available for ages! While its almost a cliché to mix house/garage/funky/dubstep/etc, I’ve never had the ability (or common sense?) to stick to one genre so its nothing really new for me. I had fun putting this mix together and hope it serves as a soundtrack to a World Cup after-party somewhere around the globe. ^CC

[Ed. Count Chocula is playing this Friday at The CAMP Basement for COLOURR alongside Ikonika (Hyperdub) and on July 3rd at The Alibi for our next BTG night alongside Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.]

Solo had this bootleg free to download on his Soundcloud profile. Consequently, I feel it’s cool to put it up here on 320 kbps download so you can play it in your sets. ‘Tis a cool little reworking that’ll work on the floor for sure.
