NYE 2011/2012 mix – headnodstatus by Potential on Mixcloud

First there was Travis Stewart aka Machine Drum with his hip-hop influenced grooves like Half The Battle, released on Merck (R.I.P). The label put out a lot of great albums in the early 2000′s from people like Malcom Kipe, Proem and Tycho. Check them out.

Then there was the glitchy stuff of alter ego Tstewart. Camp Lejune is a good one,

‘Machine Drum’ lays low and re-invents himself. First on LuckyMe and now a new release on Planet Mu! Here’s a track from Room(s), some very fresh and varied vibes on this one, proving the man’s versatility.

Via the world famous LuckyMe and their incredible collection of mixtapes, here is Hyetal‘s LuckyMe mix. Hyetal creates vibrant, colourful bass music, perfect for a bike ride!

If you are in your 20′s and grew up listening to Hip-Hop music, you experienced a great musical culture – some of the best music came out of the 90′s and early 2000s. You also saw it mutate into various unsavoury forms as it became heavily commercialised (see: gangsta rap, crunk).

If you’re also a musician you’ve become influenced by the music but ultimately abandonded what the genre became. Post Hip-Hop is a movement that emerged to keep Hip-Hop alive. It is an experimentation of  music, dance and art among young people just like what happened in late 70′s NYC.

J ROCC on Stones Throw has been putting out these Thank You mixtapes and they are incredible. Although this one is two years old now, it’s one of the best J Dilla mixtapes I have heard. Here is Act 3 of this amazing series. If you are unfamiliar with the late Hip-Hop legend check out his back catalogue on Stones Throw now.

Big up the Bristolian dubstep viewpoint. Guido, one third of the Purple Trinity is coming with the freshest sounds I have heard. The scope of his ideas is wide. For once not more of the same. Hear his debut Anidea on Punch Drunk records for more details. It is nuts really.

Sounds like there’s big video-game influence too. It’s like Streets of Rage 2010 re-release. There’s early 90′s RnB feel throughout a lot of his tunes, and I feel that tracks like ‘Shades of Blue‘ are picking up where ‘IDM’ left off. It reminds me of Autechre.
