Alix Perex mix for Data Transmission 15 October 2009

God knows that I don't post every mix that comes along here, and he knows that by how infrequently his RSS feed updates, but that's because I'm all about quality control baby, you know big dog style etc.

So you will have the Latest Loxy Cylon Podcast coming very shortly (no #6) which is BAD but in the meantime a little mixture from the original don dapper champion swanner himself Mr Alix Perez. His 1984 LP is quality and that's coming from someone who hasn't really been feeling his output until recently. The LP has been in the works for time and there are a few promo mixes from Alix around with album cuts on but this one just popped out of Data Transmission and the tracklist looks like 100% pure swan so gets the bump.

Blunted presents... borestep

If minimalism is an art form stripped back to its fundamental elements then a genre of music built solely around bass & drums should have, by definition, the principle of minimalism at its very core.

Interesting article. Obviously whether the music is boring or interesting depends on perception! Whodathortit.

Kjell Calmante Influence Records INFLUGB005

Kjell clearly likes pushing the proverbial envelope and he's clearly quality not quantity orientated with his few releases popping up on Creative Source, Colours Audio and Horizons and Function over the last couple of years.

Calmante is a track I have been hammering for a few of months already and it's only getting better. Released on Aaron Jay's influence records - a label that may yet achieve influence - back in March - I'm already wearing out the grooves on mine.

Calmante by Kjell

Boom tune a blow dem mind.

Martyn - Great Lengths LP

A quick big up to Martyn on the release of his long-awaited-but-worth-it debut lp released on his own 3024 label - wicked wicked music.

"Hear me" has been massive at borestep hq for a few months already but pleased to have it on wax! Moar.

The end of dumb and bass

DnB is all over radio 1 and now all over a national broadsheet too for the first time in god knows how long. Blu Mar Ten's response on their blog is interesting too but I don't think this is ever how me have measured success before!!

NZ Aftermath mix by... DOC SCOTT!

Yo. This one amazed me. I am sorry to say that Doc Scott as well as being an all time personal hero too often plays some of my least favourite sets. With the a record box as deep as his it's never anthem bashing but just really uninspiring techy beats for an hour or two or maybe so minimal I would check out room 2,3,4,5,6,7 or the freezing cold outside area just past the exit.

This mix is different though, wobbles slightly at around 20 mins but he pulls it back round to deliver one of the most musical mixes I have heard in years from Scotty. Wicked.

I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.

OK, OK, just a quick one though my poor neglected webpage.

I was interested to read (not for the first time by any means) about the death and near certain demise of drum and bass while on an occasional visit to http://www.dogsonacid.com/, which, like everyone, I used to frequent when it was like really cool but not any more because it isn't and that's the kind of shallow, whimsical show pony that I am. The broad consensus seemed to be that it is indeed dead (in my glass half full world anyway - there was no decisive evidance to the contrary).

If you go by how many posts there are every day on dogs on acid it would certainly seem like it and the scene does seem to be lacking any leadership or any consensus. Big guns seemingly abandoning the creative focus that made them big guns. No one taking their place. Nu skoolers not even making it past the dubstep section in the record store. There is still (some) great music being made but it seems like more people are writing off drum and bass than are converting to it and we know what that means.

The only reason this blog exists is because of the impact of dubstep/skull disco/future garage/wonky/slow house/bass/whatever had on dnb with even long time heads being turned. Some people listened and carried on making dnb that was more like dubstep, plenty now make both dnb and dubstep and some like Martyn converted entirely to the nu groove with international success.

Now there is great dnb but it seems spread more thinly than ever before.

February dnb reccomends:

Furney - So Ca Toah / This found you - Red Mist
Eveseon - Mesmorize - Shogun Limited / SGN:Ltd
Mixmaster Doc - Exodus - BIOS
Calibre - Be there - Integral
Klute - Ashram - Commercial Suicide
MJ Cole - Sincere (Eveson bootleg mix)
Soulmatic - Self belief - Good Looking

Props also to Marcus Intalex at Soul:R - the Dat Music series 2 is quality, in particular:

Commix - Life we live and Underwater Scene
Lomax - Resist
Instra:mental - Hunter

My bag isn't exactly bulging though.

Spatial - Infrasonics 001 - 80207 / 70810

Hello February! At last. Snowy? yes, but still much better than January.



Keeping things downtempo for the time being - a new artist called Spatial with two esoterically labelled tracks '80207' and '70810' on new label Infrasonics. Really nice work, garagey but stripped down, with a definate Burial influence but not so much that you feel like getting a lawyer involved. More of this please.

January :sadface: etc and Instra:Mental Futurist

OK, first things first - it's January which is basically a total waste of time so lets both agree that it's a pleasant suprise that I am here AT ALL? Right, lovely, lets get started.

Only crazy people release music in Januray (for sound commercial reasons) but I'm pleased the good people at Naked Lunch recordings have joined in, throwing caution to the cold arctic wind and releasing Instra:Mental's Futurist - a minimal 130bpm funky metallic masterpeice. This audio clip also features the flip side of the 12" Late night by Breakage. Youtube imminent.

See you in Feburary.
