He describes himself as a “veritable fountain of electronica, IDM, jungle, and drum and bass”. I’d definitely add some 2step, garage and dubstep to the equation. FaltyDL has just released a genre-defying album ‘Love Is A Liability‘ that takes 2step to a new level. Sometimes quite dark, the Jungle and IDM influences are very clear.

Back in March I blogged two of Phaseone’s remixes one being of Burial’s Archangel. Today we have his new full length album, which is a collection of great laid back beats. The album starts off with some crazy bleak, futuristic synth intro. But I’m already bumping at the bassline before the beat starts. Tim Gun [...]
The Five One are a group like no other. Their sound is blessed with freedom, inventiveness, and true imagination. The quartet is rooted in Hip Hop but is never bound by conventional ideologies of hip hop or any other genre for that matter. They are like a cross between a pleasing Indie Pop/Rock band and [...]
N.A.S.A (North America, South America) are made up of Sam Spiegel aka Squeak E Clean from Maryland and Brazilian DJ Zegon. They are due to release one of the most highly anticipated albums this year.
The album entitled, “Spirit of the Apollo” drops February 17th on Anit. It is jam packed full of collaborations with the [...]
Absolutely incredible electronic track, “Alice” uses snippets from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland. Check out the video below, it’s trippy to say the least… and the artist behind it, Pogo.

This post is all about the remixes, and the two I have been listening to a lot this month.
The first is the Cool Kids remix that 9th Wonder did a while back premiering on the Green Label Sound site. I think it’s good what the Cool Kids are doing with [...]

Broken Breaks, mixed by db!
Here’s another breaks mix for your ears – this one’s a bit more electro-ey.
One of the great things about breakbeat is that you can fuse it with electro house and it’ll still sound huge. There’s a couple of examples of that in this offering; expect more of this in the future [...]
Stainless Style by Neon Neon is an unorthodox concept album between some of the big underground names of Hip-Hop, IDM, electronica and indie rock and it somehow works really well. Boom Bip is one of my favourite musicians; if you haven’t already then check out Blue eyed in the Red Room featuring Nina Nastasia, and [...]
Spotted on: Analog Giant
New artist fresh off the Stones Throw block, James Pants is described on their site as,
“… a purveyor par excellence of that unmistakable “fresh beat”: 80’s Soul, Electro Boogie, Early Rap, New Wave, & Post-Punk Disco, all of which can be found on Welcome where James plays drums, keys, guitar and sings.”
I’ll [...]
