Sdub

I seem to have found myself listening to quite a deal of dubstep of late, for one reason or another. Though it feels a bit odd, as i feel i have been so out touch with the whole scene for so long now I am not quite sure where to start again!

Anyhow, having witnessed Tek-One destroy at Oxjam, i have stumbled across this little beauty, Sduk, who is whipping out dark and ambient pieces that retain all the menace and presence of his grimier predecessors.

Check out his mix of Emalkay's "When I Look At You for a perfect example of this.

Whomp

Having been watching Alan Pownall grow with his live performances over the last year, alongside watching Jakwob rise from his very early days of production into one of the UK's most exciting melodic dubstep producers,I am happy to see the two combining on a remix with thumping results. The altered tempo of the vocal can take a couple of listens to get used to, but once your settled in it is fantastic and uplifting.

If it is not yet sold out, you can buy Alan Pownall's debut 7" "Clara" from Pure Groove or itunes.

Little Red

Little Red, hailing from Australia and bucking the trend of good music from Oz tending to orientate itself around the electro/disco vibe (see Midnight Juggernauts, Van She, Cut Copy et al) and bringing us a little bit of doo wop and punk influenced indie.

Think along the lines of The Pipettes, but not tacky, a bit of a joke and based around matching cutesiness and dresses. More, indie-rock from another time given an update and blasted into 2009.

Mystery Colums

So, another day, another act whose identity we are not yet fit to know. Intriguing? Not really. Tedious, a little.

Luckily then, the music is rather ace and this mix from Joe Goddard is rather lovely too.

Fool's Gold

Fool's Gold taken on by Phaseone who get a bit ambient and off-beat for this mix. There's almost a hint of an Arabian influence in there as well. Perhaps like a Burial for the less morose, happy 6am bedtimes after beautiful parties.

Wizards and dancefloors

Disco Wizards come out with a new piece, and it is my favourite yet! They take a more stripped back approach to their usual loud, industrial selves. We like.

On another note, i had some German marzipan candy today. It smelt like playdoh and didn't taste much better.
