Love this roots reggae refix produced by Shy FX with Dizzee pon di mic. From Dizzee Rascal’s Tongue N Cheek LP, here’s “Can’t Tek No More” of this, No No No…
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.

Just learned the news from DJ Premier’s blog. Definitely go there for the true tribute. Here’s an excerpt:
classic Gang Starr
While in hospital with terminal cancer, Guru wrote a letter, which was provided by Solar, to his fans addressing his illness, his shining music career, his family and loved ones.
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!
Buju was originally scheduled to go to trial in Florida next week, but a judge has postponed the trial another 2 months without explanation. Banton is still imprisoned and has been since December 2009. Here is audio of a brief phone call between Buju Banton and IrieFM recorded last month (before finding out the trial would be delayed):
And here’s his lawyer speaking on the case:
And finally, some new-ish music:
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:

Jimmy Cliff was indicted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame this week (check out how psyched he looks in all the vids)! Wyclef Jean introduced Cliff, repeatedly calling him “The Godfather”:
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.
Check out Dorrough’s saucy likkle vid, “I Want (Hood Christmas)” and enjoy the rest of 2009. See you in 2010!!

[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.
