The Paxtons The Manhattan Project

Good to hear that new music out there! Been a minute since The Paxtons garnered a grip of exposure for Work, and on this new project, The Manhattan Project, these two expound on a few things... "Hip Hop was built on a foundation of double meanings. While the title of The Paxtons’ new mixtape, The Manhattan Project, is an obvious reference to their relocation to NYC and adoption of the New York state-of-mind, there is a deeper inspiration driving the mixtape.

The Manhattan Project is also the codename for a WWII project whose mission was to develop the first atomic bomb. In musical terms, The Paxtons are taking the same approach by building a mixtape that is set to annihilate the competition with lyrics and production that clearly show an unseen hunger and level of progression and creativity from the Chicago-bred MC and production team". Enjoy that.

Eli Porter & Lil' Jon "U Don't Like Me (E-Dolla Mix)"

Eli Porter & Lil' Jon "U Don't Like Me (E-Dolla Mix)": Never did I think that the world of THUGSTEP and the enigma Eli Porter would collide so amazingly. I dropped this track back in July, and have a project sorted out with the HOODLUM crew for it, but never did I even dream that the don, Eli Porter, would be touching down on this one. This is taken from his People's Champion mixtape, which is set to drop within the next month, with the People's Champion documentary dropping before Turkey Day 2010. Shouts to Walker Warren for sending this over; peep his interview with Refined Hype, speaking on the documentary.

I think I might shed a tear... I've been waiting for something like this to happen for YEARS!

Rickie Jacobs "Defense"

Rickie Jacobs "Defense" (prod. by Nano): Air Jacobs is on the way, so its good to hear this bass-heavy space-hop. It sounds like something blasting out of that boombox in the cover. Great pairing of sounds, nahmean?

Concréte Sound System – autechre.bÆts

I fucked with IDM for a minute before I got into Autechre, but once I heard Tri Repetae++, I found one of my favorite albums, ever. Their blend of dub, the best forms of "intelligent dance music" and just the overall feel of the project had me hooked. Concréte Sound System, aka Luta's new live project, has sorted out a dope Autechre tribute mix, essentially: "In the coming years the importance of the 90′s era IDM will become more and more relevant to the music of today. Then like now were a bunch of artists unaffected by trends and fashions, freed from the typical concepts of musical success to work within the realm of technology based music in means few before had ever explored. Today many of the sounds which they uncovered have become the catalyst for genres, trends and fashions. Making it my prediction that as those genres, trends and fashions consume themselves it will be the aesthetic as much as the music which proves to be the legacy of the era.

Picking out one artist to represent any era of music is fundamentally impossible to do objectively. So make no mistake that the choice of Autechre here is quite the subjective one. Perhaps the most influential artists upon my own work it was a pleasure going through their massive catalog to pull together this mix. bÆts is a collection which aims to show that the two perhaps better known for their ambient and melodic work can throw down block rocking beats with the rest of them. Of course since we’re talking Autechre nothing is quite straight forward, but be clear it makes for one helluva ride.

This mix also inaugurates my new live set Concréte Sound System (CSS). Like the mix itself you can expect the future of CSS to be breathtakingly relentless". Shouts to Elucid for hipping me to this.

Magnetic Man ft. John Legend "Getting Nowhere"

Magnetic Man ft. John Legend "Getting Nowhere": When I reported on the Magnetic Man album details for Dogs On Acid, the feature that struck me first was this reported John Legend shit. I love Legend's work, but was kind of skeptical regarding how he'd apply that to dubstep (or whatever he was going to do). And it's not to say that this is bad, it's just... meh. There's nothing truly special about the actual track, and John's more Soulful crooning don't work too well on this. It's almost like he's doing too much - if he had let it flow a little more natural, or just took a bit of the oomph out, I might be into it more. But probably not. Let the bonus beat be my apology.

Digital Mystikz - BBC Radio 1 Experimental Mix (9/02/2010)

Four years ago, there wasn't a BBC Radio 1 Experimental show - Mary Anne Hobbs dwelled on the Breezeblock. In January 2006, MAH presented the Dubstep Warz (download HERE), a series of mixes from some of the seminal names in Dubstep, introducing myself and most of the world to this exciting new sound. I was personally hooked based on the strength of this show, and many of the DJs on this show, including Mala of the Digital Mystikz crew, are still my favorites today. On this week's Experimental show, MAH brought DMZ back for a special 45 minute throwdown. So many ill tunes in here from that camp. In these last episodes of BBC Radio 1 Experimental, it's good to hear Mary Anne revisit some of the vibes that helped shape the scene, alongside her continuing the forward-thinking future funk.

Crissy Criss - 30 Minute Dubstep Mix (9/02/2010)

Outside of DJing Drum & Bass around the world, Crissy Criss touches down on 1Xtra weekly. On this week's show, Criss dropped a special 30 minute dubstep mix, showcasing current gems and some serious dubplates, including Trolley Snatcha's "Pass Me By", which has been doing my head in over the last few weeks. If you're new to dubstep, you might want to grab this and see how the sound fits you - this is more of the dancefloor ragin' stuff. Enjoy.
