Blip Festival Tokyo
If you happen to be in Tokyo for the next weekend and you’re into this whole culture of retrogaming, you should consider dropping by at the Blip Festival.
Flying Lotus Remix Album
Tokyo-based label Beat Records has repeatedly put out some of Warp Records biggest releases for the Japanese market. They will continue to do so by releasing a collection of all three L.A. EPs from Flying Lotus.

IG Culture presents Zen Badizm
New album from IG Culture, Co-Op founder and innovator of the so-called West London scene, and the first under his own name. If you heard the New Sector Albums before, than you have to adjust your expectations a bit. Don’t get me wrong, as IG is one of my favorite contemporary producer and I certainly think this could be album of the year!
