We Are Oliver
Just came across the LA-based, fresh production duo Oliver thanks to the crew over at Golden Scissors. Some sexy, funky as hell breaks and deep bass make this a jam that I’ll be listening to for the rest of the week. Check the vid to see “A Day with Oliver” then check the full track from Soundcloud below.

FKi x DIPLO x Flight Facilities - Drippin'
Thanks to YouTuber GuteRapOneTV I have the chance to feature this banger of a collabo between Diplo and Atlanta club rap duo FKi. Diplo cuts up Flight Facilities’ glimmering disco house staple, Crave You, smashing it in the break with a womping punch in the face.
Have a listen to the entire mixtape over at Hypetrak.

RBMA - The Medium is the Message
Red Bull Music Academy makes good use of a forty-plus year old phrase from theorist (and personal idol) Marshall McLuhan in an exciting look at the evolution of musical formats. From reel-to-reel to disc to mp3, RMBA explores how the nature of musical delivery dictates how and what we listen to and create musically.

SBTRKT Rinse FM mix ft. James Blake, Frank Ocean...
Gotta feature this Rinse FM mix from SBTRKT. Definitely some of the darker work of the live performer/DJ/producer, including some dark, deep-bass and two-step from the likes of Boddika (@ 1:46:18) and Darqwan (@ 1:27:52). James Blake and Frank Ocean further somber the mood in the mix.
Looking forward to more from SBTRKT this year as he broadens his sound and prepares to embark on touring the US...

Evian Christ
DUMMY just released news on new anonymous producer (as if 2011 needed another one), Evian Christ - and if our love for juke drum patterns and slap-chopped, aggressive vocal samples needed one last hurrah for the year, well here it is.
Meshing the production styles of Clams Casino, Chicago Footwork/Ghetto House godfathers like RP Boo, and a hybrid of the two a la Africa Hitech, Evian Christ...
