Hello Rhythm & Bassheads! I am back from an inexplicable hiatus. Much has changed! Suffice it to say that things have been going very well for me lately. Beyond that, I've been getting a ton of new music. Surprised? You shouldn't be.
Here's what I've been listening to lately! Finishing off my collection of Valerie Collective artists is Minitel Rose, with their solid album Atlantique. High vocals and tight 80s-style production, sort of a cross between Empire of the Sun and College. I also picked up Madvillainy, a classic hip-hop album from 2004. It's a collaboration between the genius producer Madlib and the tight lyrics of MF Doom. So dope!
I also picked up the Ninja Tune XX box set. For those who don't know, Ninja Tune is one of my favourite record labels, and I've got a whole post devoted to them! There are so many sick tracks on this album I don't know what to do with them all (enjoy!).
Beyond that, I got Bernhoft's most recent album. He's a solo guitar player who sequences and loops his own voice over itself, so he's basically a one-man band. Then I found Toddla T's newest single! Word is that he's making a new album, and that would just be awesome. Can't get enough dancehall and UK garage!
The biggest news of the past couple weeks in music is that Justice's new track Civilization has been leaked. Obviously I've got the link, so enjoy it! The last bit of new music is from London Elektricity's upcoming album Yikes! That's right, the legendary drum & bass producer and CEO of my favourite drum & bass label Hospital Records is producing again, after 2 years without releases. Tomorrow's song of the day will be devoted to him, so look forward to that! This man is a master.
This has been a bit of an athematic post...but now you're all up to speed! Dance on, readers.
