So I’ve got an EP coming out early next month on Made In Glitch. It’s called ‘Fake Heads’ and, as well as the title track, includes not one but two (!) remixes by the very excellent ill.Gates (one of which features the vocal talents of Mr. Junia-T). Anyway, to promote the release I put together [...]

Beta gone and done a garage mix. No glitching, no beatfuckery – just an hours worth of bouncy basslines, skittering beats, and silky smooth vocals. Enjoy!

02. Deetah – Relax (Bump ‘N’ Flex Remix)
03. D Base – Base Theory
04. Blowfelt – Shake To This

This month we’re all about Ikonika, the London-based post-dubstep producer tipped for big things in 2010. With a number of outstanding releases already under her belt, Ikonika is gearing up for the release of her debut album ‘Contact, Love, Want, Have’, dropping April 6th on the legendary Hyperdub Records. [...]

So every year for the past few years myself and a select group of superfriends have done a sort of Best Music Of The Year compilation CD exchange type thing. Basically each member of the group selects their favourite songs from that year and puts them on a CD which they then swap with the [...]

In this episode we’re taking a one-way trip inside the demented mind of Made In Glitch cohort, BETAMAXNOMATES (that’d be me, obviously). Indie-pop, dubstep, glitchy hip hop, techno, chiptunes, UK garage, and a healthy smattering of old skool breakbeat rave – it really shouldn’t work, but it does. Look out for forthcoming releases from [...]

In this episode we’ve got 30 minutes of heavyweight beats and rhymes from Salva , the San Francisco-based creator of the Frite Nite label. Bumping bass, analogue bleeps, and rapidfire rhymes are the order of the day; be sure to check out Salva’s releases on the Made In Glitch label at the Juno [...]

In this episode we’ve got a glitch-nasty, bass-heavy monster of a mix from up-and-coming London producer MusSck. Keep your eyes on the Made In Glitch website for all the details of MusSck ’s forthcoming release on Made In Glitch Records!

Podcast time once more! In this episode we’ve got the lowdown on the Tokyo Laptop Battle – an innovative new electronic music event happening Friday June 19th in Super Deluxe in Nishi-Azabu. There’s an interview with the organisers, Matt and Claudius, not to mention a unique ‘ethniglitch’ mix from Matt’s alter ego Control Freak. Be [...]

And so the Little Boots album arrives at last. Is it all we (I) could have hoped for? Well, yes. And no. Yesandno.
Like pretty much every other album these days about half the tracks on here have been floating around in various forms for about a year now. Still, it’s remarkable how generally cohesive the [...]

Finally finished up my rave mix this evening. It’s 18 odd minutes of fast-paced fun – air horns, breakbeats, chipmunk divas, piano stabs… you know the score.

This weekend I started some preliminary work on a proper old skool rave mix. Rooting around on YouTube I came a cross a couple of videos from ‘Dance Energy‘, the BBC’s token ‘yoof culture’ music program from the early 90’s which featured early performances from The Prodigy, SL2, Run DMC (!), and Bizarre Inc. (embedded [...]

Here’s the new video from Little Boots.

It is, regrettably, awful. Dancing homeless people, gang members prancing about like extras from West Side Story and a truly embarrassing denouement featuring… ack, I don’t know, some sort of choreographed prostitute orgy. I’m making it sound about a million percent better than it actually is — watch it [...]

Having had some bad experiences with printers today, I thought I’d post up a few printer-related vids. First up, the fantastic ‘Printer Jam’ by Mistabishi:

Next, an inspired printer/scanner-led cover of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. This really is quite special.

And finally, one of the funniest scenes from one of the funniest movies of all time.

Fuckin’ A.
