The latest mix from ( our longtime <3 ) MRK1 is pure EEEEEEVIL! Absolutely nasty bass, head-bangin beats and skull-crushin synths. Reminds me of the set he played @ the Bordello in Oakland last summer…. MRK1 is a MONSTER live!

Artist info:
Pontone & Simon Reynolds compiled this eclectic eelectronica mixtape for the latest Pontone podcast. Reynolds says the only thing that ties these selections together is a genre he made-up to fit the occasion – “eldritchtronic” music:
“eldritchtronic”, a non-existent genre that cuts across a bunch of zones (hauntology, the trippier end of microhouse, hypnagogic/glo-fi, the Brooklyn school of “ecstatic experimental”, etc). Mostly electronic but rarely intersecting with the dancefloor, this music merges blissy and eerie, the wired and the wyrd. And because the 2000s was when the linear temporality of music definitively dissolved, there’s leakage from the remote past, musique concrete and text-sound by artists I encountered for the first time during the Noughties.
Listen to the mix and read more @ Pontone’s Special Guest: Simon Reynolds – Eldritchtronica and Wyrd Bliss Mixtape.

Love this sultry booty bass track from longtime fave Stereotyp (<3 <3 ) and newcomer-to-us Arabyrd. Whoever she is, we’re in love – girl crush all.the.way. Keep this up, love!
It’s been a minute since i posted anything from dashing dubstep duo Vex’d… I’ve been wearing out Jamie’s solo release In System Travel in the meantime (on vinyl & I drop it every time I play out). But now we get a fresh track off their new/lost album Cloud Seed which comes out next month on Planet Mu. The tune is called “Disposition” featuring Jest pon di mic:

What you call it? Dubstep? Dance? 2-Step? It just gets funkier and funkier, like the official new technicolor video for Rusko’s “Woo Boost”:
His debut album O.M.G.! out on Mad Decent, May 2010.
via Grievous Angel:
[My] dj mix of dub-pon-dub riddim excursions, all in a grime / dubstep friendly 140bpm format. In a way it presaged the remix album that’s forthcoming on Keysound, where I remixed the whole of the Blackdown and Dusk album and mixed it together.
Via The Smoking Section:
Cashmere Agency Presents Mr. Grustle & Tha Russian’s Dubstep LA: Embrace The Renaissance Vol. 1 which is mixed by Plastician, features famed Dubstep producers Benga, 12th Planet and Caspa alongside Hip-Hop stars like Murs, Grouch and Eligh, Grand Puba, Ras Kass and Eve. It also features Snoop Dogg’s Chase & Status produced “Snoop Dogg Millionaire, ” Xzbit’s “So What” Featuring U-N-I, and Murs’ “Mad House,” which recently leaked to the web.

Kingdom of the unreal but also a higher state of being, ultimately free of the limitations of the material world through the agency of science, technology, and imagination.
It seems like only yesterday our little monster was rampaging around the Bay Area like a bass wave on a sugar high. Hard to believe this will be the 5th time the loosely associated autonomous mobile soundsystems of the mutant variety have convened on an undisclosed, secret underground location for maximum sound reinforcement and fun times. That’s right – 2 monstrous walls of sound will be erected, combining the earth-trembling bassbins of 5lowershop & Army of Love with the massive mid-range towers of HAVOCSOUND, crowned by Czech-technology rocket tweeters of the notorious S.P.A.Z. soundsystem for ONE MASSIVE MONSTER OF LOVE 5!!!

Truth is, this video is way to hippie-trippy for me. The tune is wicked and I cranked that ish as soon as i heard the bubbling synths and fidgety breaks come bouncing out of the speakers! But, I just can’t watch more than a minute of the groping hippie hands + nekkid ass hairs blowing in the wind (yeah, totally not “safe” for work among other places)… Bostonian audio/video team Zebbler “Get To The Truth” – the whole truth and nothing but the bare, naked truth:
Press play because the tune is wicked. But don’t be afraid to turn off yr monitor, close yr laptop, close yr eyes and just enjoy the audio onslaught…
