Mixtape Monday #12

Contrary to what I believed about an hour ago, today is actually a Monday. Let’s have some mixtapes from Lukid, Floating Points, Simbad, Tokimonsta, Daedelus and others.

CDR Knowledge with Simbad

Here’s a nice little video with London based producer Simbad, showing bits from a CDR session and his studio.

José James – Blackmagic (Simbad Dub)

From London based producer Simbad comes this unreleased remix of the José James track Black Magic. Available as a free download!

Mixtape Monday #3

Other websites have their Follow Friday, here you get a Mixtape Monday every now and then.

Simbad presents Supercosmic Revolution

I was a bit surprised when I saw this mixtape from Simbad featured on the Brainfeeder website. After a first listen, everything is making perfect sense – as a look at the playlist will confirm.

Lukid, Dorian & Izmabad

Today, I’ve got a couple of mixtapes for you, which I was going to save for the weekly bits, but I guess they’re too good to hold them back!

TettoryBad – Ruff & Tuff

Here’s a video that has been around for a while, it comes from TettoryBad and features Paul Randolph on the vocals. TrettoryBad is a project by Simbad, Masaya Fantasista and Grooveman Spot, who have released their album Unite in autumn 2008 on the Jazzy Sport label.

Here Comes Treble

It’s been one of my favourite compilations of the year and I’m late on my review duties – but in fact this blog didn’t even exist when everybody else was loving it already. Today we’re talking about Here Comes Treble, the first compilation from Domu‘s young TrebleO label. And it’s a great debut, way too fresh to be put in this blog’s classics category!

Afronaut Y Amigos Presentan Hecho En Casa Part 1

For the last couple of years, Orin Walters of Bugz in the Attic has been traveling to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. There he discovered the depths of latin music, its many flavours and in particular the rumba. Many travels later, a friendship with the local scene emerged and led to first collaborations – the most famous being Golpe Tuyo Calinda, a standout broken beat track released under Orin’s Afronaut moniker.
