Surgeon remains one of electronic music's most consistently thrilling performers. Hugely influential in techno circles since the mid nineties, his productions and DJ mixes point to constant evolution in his sound and a steady absorption of new influences. Last year's Breaking the Frame, his first album in over ten years, struck a curveball at all those anticipating a pummelling set of textured techno tracks, instead distilling some of his listening habits of recent years — the likes of Alice Coltrane, Eliane Radigue and La Monte Young — into a very personal document, one that searched for, as he put it, 'the deep spiritual essence that lay behind the surface structures of their individual music'. This set was recorded in October 2011 in London, when Surgeon performed as the mystery guest at a showcase night for the Blackest Ever Black label. Given Blackest Ever’s brooding trajectory, the event’s line-up struck a suitably shadowy tone, featuring label mainstays Raime, William Bennett's formidable Cut Hands project, and long-time Surgeon collaborator Regis (with whom Surgeon performed a surprise closing set under their British Murder Boys guise). As Surgeon himself said, there was a rather strange, tense atmosphere in the club throughout the evening, due no doubt to hosting a bill of such intensely disturbed music in the heart of London's hip Shoreditch, and this tension probably comes across on this recording from the night. This is the last set to be hosted on Spannered for the foreseeable future. Many thanks to Tony for passing the recording to us and for giving his support to the site since day one.

Oddcast #15 was delivered on Saturday 28 April 2012 at 01:10 hours. Weighing in at just over 70 minutes, both parent and child are doing as well as can be expected. Music for Pregnant Ladies is a version of a mix originally put together by London-based DJ Jerome Hill for a friend of his during her pregnancy. Featuring wildly eclectic gems from the likes of Nino Ferrer, Os Mutantes and Jean-Pierre Massiera, we've been experimenting with this Oddcast in various situations and can assuredly report that it's a very fine listen even if you're not 'with child'. Despite Jerome's legendary standing as a techno DJ, anyone who's caught him at one of his more “irregular” gigs will know of his ceaseless quest to unearth the cheekiest tunes of all genres ever to have been pressed onto vinyl (and that he's a force to reckoned with when it comes to rocking out the catchiest wedding selection). His label, Don’t, recently reached it’s 20th release with a sturdy EP of clunking acid and jacking house by Messrs Neil Landstrumm and Matt Whitehead. If you’re in London on 8 June 2012, we strongly recommend heading along to the second of his label parties, to be held in the bowels of a decaying video shop in Dalston. Check out Jerome’s other mixes for Spannered here and here. Tracklisting: Will Malone - Deathline Unknown - Check the Brutal Music label ! Nino Ferrer - Le Telephone (English Version) Dave Phillips & The Hotrod Gang - Tainted Love The Boots - Alexander Ike & Tina Turner - I Can't Believe What You Say The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion Dandelion Wine - Hot Dog The Nu People - I'd Be Nowhere Without You Jean Pierre Massiera - Il Tubo Os Mutantes - Bat Macumba Bdly Drawn Boy - Riding with Gabriel Greenburg Os Mutantes - A Minha Menina (Dom Thomas Edit) The Herbaliser - Amores Bongo Steve Martin - Gettin Small The Cherrystones - Be Careful What You Wish For The Free Association - Le Baggage The Free Association - Whistlin Down The Wind The M&S Band - Egg Roll Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch - Bend It Napoleon XIV - They're Coming To Take Me Away Jean Paul Massiera - Dali Court North Of Ping Pong - Reeboks Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons - Rag Doll Roy Orbison - In Dreams

The latest instalment of Spannered's Oddcast series comes from none other than Glasgow's Dave Donnelly, aka Production Unit. Dave's no stranger to these pages, having previously contributed two short works of fiction about talking cows and a rather exquisite review of Autechre's Quaristice album. Formerly a member of Glasgow's now-dispanded electronica trio the Marcia Blaine School For Girls (along with Ruaridh Law, aka The Village Orchestra), Dave's had outings under his Production Unit guise on keen-eared labels such as Highpoint Lowlife and Stuff Records. He currently has releases primed and ready for Broken20 (which helps to run with Law) and Phuturelabs. The Broken20 release, titled ICU Tracks, is a particularly intense body of work —  a stark techno set (suitably supported by remixes from Perc and Emptyset's Paul Purgas) constructed from the sound of hospital machines. A while back, just after we got a whiff of his Mature Cheedar Dadcast for Techno Dads, we asked Dave if he'd pick up the Oddcast gauntlet for Spannered — and he's done so with gusto. "The theme is 'other music'" he tells us, "stuff that I'd probably never normally put in a mix." Well, we think he deserves one fat cigar for this epic two-hour selection, chock-full of beauty and strangeness in equal measures — and a large plastic beaker of warm sambuca for holding the dubious accolade of being the first (and probably last) mix on Spannered to feature the versatile delights of the legendary Bernard Cribbins. Tracklisting: Bjork - Overture Rose and Sandy - Play Cat's Cradle Hildur Gudnadottir - Aether Fatimah al Zaelaeyah - Ya mun dakhal bahr al hawa (Hey, who enters the sea of passion) Gendhing Kemanak Anglirmendung (Pelog Barang) Drummers of the Societe Absolutment Guinin - Yanvalou Njib Ould N’Ghaimich – Guetna Throbbing Gristle - Exotica Directions - Echoes (Continental Drift version) John Coltrane - Ole Miles Davis - In a Silent Way The Beach Boys - Fall Breaks and Back to Winter Scorn - White Irises Blind (Minimal Mix) Godflesh - Christbait Rising Scorn - Drained John Cohen - Tar River Coil - Triple Sun Introduction Hype Williams - Untitled 1 Tangerine Dream - Love on a Real Train Steve Reich - Proverb FSOL - Papua New Guinea (Dub Mix) Pole feat. Fat Jon - Slow Motion Senking - Mimi Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (Instrumental) BFC - Sleep Mos Def - Kalifornia Chris Thomas King - Hard Time Killing Floor Raphael Corderos - Rock Creak Parp Bernard Cribbins - Winkle Picker Blues ^ New Production Unit EPs out soon on Broken20 and Phuturelabs

Loosen your tie and get down to half an hour of Bollywood oddities and sitar-fuelled strangeness (with nods to Britney, Herbie Hancock and Nancy Sinatra) from Phill Thomson, aka the Nam Shub of Enki. Nam Shub has released a slew of solo recordings since the '90s, as well as producing for and performing with Brisbane's riotous cabaret supergroup Monster Zoku Onsomb! and new MZO splinter project Hi Freqs. He's currently roaming about Europe, sculling bottles of Belgian beer and playing outrageous live sets of mashed electronics at people in anticipation of the release of his sixth album, due out soon on Australia's Retort Records.

We've been trying to squeeze a mix from Lawrence (aka agent2) of London's Rebel Intelligence collective for some time now. Le Orme (meaning footprints) rocks out the kind of lush electronic tackle you'd expect from this exceptional connoisseur of early Chicago house, Detroit techno and deep dancefloor electro. If you've ever caught one of Lawrence's flawlessly programmed DJ sets, you'll be all over this. The fledgling Rebel Intelligence label has a couple of great electro 12"s out by Matt Whitehead. Snap them up if you haven't already.   Tracklisting: Submersible Machines - Blue Hole Steve Summers - Dreaming in Color DJ Sprinkles (Kink & Neville Watson Remix) - Masturjakor Perseus Traxx - Remake 508 Murphy Jax Featuring Mike Dunn - It’s the Music Steve Summers - Lucid Fingers Kink & Neville Watson - The Long Wait Elec Pt.1 - Sky 13 Risque Rythum Team - 122 House Kink & Neville Watson - City 2 City Virgo Four - In a Vision Snuff Crew - Slam it Surburban Knight - The Groove Conforce - Black Stroke  

Ralph Cumbers describes his latest release as "an open love letter to underground dance music culture". Out earlier this month on Magic and Dreams, Inner Space Break Free harks back to ye olde days of hardcore and rave, with influences not so much worn on its sleeve as emblazoned across the back of a friggin' great fluoro jacket. The album is available on cassette only ("I’m releasing it on tape because I adore them, and all my music is made on a cassette 4-track, so it feels kind of right"), and is dedicated to "the tunes, DJs, soundsystems, noisy neighbours and pirate stations that have inspired me and repeatedly turned my head inside out over the last two decades", says Cumbers. Rave on, we say.   'Inner Space Influences' mixes up many of the classic dance tracks that influenced Inner Space. If you've not checked out Mr Clef's other mixes on Spannered, we recommend you seek out his excellent dub mixes here and here, and last year's tremendous African mix here. You can also read Spannered's interview with him from 2006.   Tracklisting:  David Shrigley - What There Is Autechre - Inhake 2 Hashim - Al-Naafyish (The Soul) Nexus 21 - Real Love The Beatmasters - Hey DJ / I Can't Dance Tricky Disco - Tricky Disco Betty Boo - Doin' the Do (remix) A Guy Called Gerald - Voodoo Ray Technotronic - Pump Up the Jam Altern 8 - Real Time Status KLF - What Time Is Love?

Originally recorded onto cassette. Go here for Spannered's interview with Mike Dred.

Meticulously assembled then recorded down onto cassette, London producer Matt Whitehead reworks and splices together his two 30-minute sets from this year's Bloc Weekend (one performance being at Brackout, the tribute to the much-missed Ben Bracket that kickstarted the festval).   Along with material released collaboratively as Cyantific and Signal Type, Matt has two essential electro 12"s out under his own name for London's Rebel Intelligence collective.   Like his set from 2010's Bloc Weekend, this is the real deal.   Play it loud.    Tracklisting: Hollywood And The Heat - I Need You / (1988) Westside Records - 00:17 "Fast Eddie" Smith - Jack The House / (1987) Underground - 01:24 Reese - Just Want Another Chance / (1988) Incognito Records - 00:39 Julian Jonah - Jealousy And Lies / (1988) Cooltempo - 02:11 Nami Shimada - Sunshower (Original Version) / (1991) Colombia - 03:36 Fallout - Morning After (Sunrise Mix) / (1987) Fourth Floor Records - 04:07 Fast Eddie - Jack To The Sound Of The Underground / (1988) D.J.

Put together by Bomb Diggy's mix monkey for a lousy two crates of bananas, some pineapple juice, and a bottle of Dominican rum, this roaring selection of dancefloor scorchers originally aired last month on Holland's DJBroadcast site.   The Bomb Diggy crew are purveyors of the most tropical party nights in Holland, with resident DJs Mataklap, Makks, Ru-D and Tommy Tequila plus guests spinning global bass music spanning kuduro, booty, soca, dancehall, ragga, cumbia and baile funk — with plenty of jungle bounce thrown in. Head over to their site for info on upcoming Bomb Diggy gigs and radio shows, and to check out their splendid Bombcast mix series.   Tracklisting: Bomb Diggy Intro Mexican Dubwiser ft.

Listen up! That's right, here's a brand new mix from arch beatfreak and master of mischievous melody, Bogdan Raczynski.   Many of you will know Bogdan from his slew of releases on Rephlex over the past decade (if not, head straight to 1999's seminal Samurai Math Beats). Aside from writing music that makes you feel completely out of your gourd, he's also an accomplished preparer of delicious foodstuffs — something we at Spannered admire greatly in a person.   Following on from 1999's compendious Mix #1, Mix #2 unfurls a tracklisting that's nearly as meaty as Bogdan's Fat Polish Man Bigos.   At least this shouldn't fug out your bathroom as much... ;)   Tracklisting: Dimitri - The Stud Harmonic 313 - Flaash DS-10 Dominator - Kink In the Cable DJ Nehpets - Mario (16 Bit) DJ Milton - House Clap The Royal City Saxophone Quarter - Ragtime For Rent Fake Tuss - RIP Acid Benga - Baltimore Clap DJ Milton - 1999 Skream - Clap Your Hands Starski and Clutch - Bounce Yotam Avni - Coke Bouquet Hirokazu Tanaka - Metroid Kraid James Blake - Postpone The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me Floating Points remix of Sing by Four Tet Ruckspin - Jibber Girl Unit - IRL Skream - Clap Your Hands Redlight feat Roses Gabor - Stupid (instrumental) Skream - Clap Your Hands Benga - Baltimore Clap Skream - Clap Your Hands Benga - Baltimore Clap Jamie Principle - Baby Wants To Ride (Be Quiet Jamie edit) Floating Points - Shark Chase LOL Boys remix of Cannibalistic by Expendable Youth Armando - Don't Take It (Thomos edit) The Other People Place - Let Me Be Me FCL - Let's Go Motor City Drum Ensemble - There's A Truth (feat Stee Downess) Cylob - Morning Nick Holder - Feelin' Sad Nick Holder - Da Sambafrique Thom Yorke - Cymbal Rush Floating Points - Shark Chase Marie Pierre - Choose Me Dimitri- The Stud Marie Pierre - Choose Me Floating Points - Shark Chase Dimitri- The Stud Automatic Tasty - This Site Is No Longer In Operation.

El Kano of London's Adverse Camber collective was one of the first artists to record a mix for Spannered when the site launched back in 2006. Flex (his fourth mix to be hosted on Spannered — check also 2007's Medication Time and this wonderful contribution to Spannered's Oddcast series) finds him on unstoppable form, spooning out all manner of mutoid ragga beats and weird bruck-stepping bassbin shit over the course of an hour and three quarters.   Download artwork here.   Tracklisting: Filastine - Blung David Last feat Zulu - Ghettoblaster Major Lazer feat Turbulence - Anything Goes Pole - Sylenstein (Deadbeat Remix) Tego Calderón - Ni Fu Ni Fa Monkeysteak - Tigris Riddim Filastine vs Maga Bo feat Mario z - Se Liga Flying Lotus - Melt!

It's been just over a year now since the delightful DJ Bus Replacement Service — ably assisted on mic duties by MC Toilet — made her site debut. The eighth installment of Spannered's Oddcast series pointed towards an almost virtuosic understanding of that much-maligned genre: outsider music.   We've been sitting on this follow-up mix for some months now, allowing the dense flavours to fustily mature, much like a corked bottle of cheap wine or a furry hunk of airing cupboard-ripened camembert.   Special credit to Tony Surgeon for 'Turd Polisher' duties.   "DJ Bus Replacement Service is... the human centipede... of music." — David Cameron (probably quoted out of context).    Tracklisting: Master Gunnery Sergeant Bill Dower - Warm-Up: Daily Seven - Gonna Fly Now (Rocky's Theme) Kromestar vs. Cotti - Mozart 3000 Heino - Karamba, Karacho, Ein Whisky (In Rio De Janeiro) The Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble of Leningrad - California Girls Charlie The Hamster - Remember the Sabbath Day Cycle Sluts From Hell - I Wish You Were a Beer Eddy Huntington - Meet My Friend Danny Boy & The Serious Party Gods - Castro Boy (Somewhat Normal Version) E Pak Sa - Gabba Darei (Out of Key Remix) Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo - Tiroler Kaboemsch 2 Live Jews - Oy!

Those who have listened to the latest album by Ralph Cumbers will know something of his huge love for the rhythms of Africa. Earlier this year Ralph ripped and re-edited a number of his favourite vinyls from the motherland. The resulting mix — released as part of Fact Magazine's consistently excellent podcast series — is the most colourful and crazed selection of music we've heard so far this year. If you missed it (Fact's podcasts are available for three weeks only), don't fear as Ralph recently asked Spannered to give the mix a permanent home.   Mr Clef talks about the mix, his current African obsessions and the recent album in an interview over at the Fact site. Those new to his work may also want to check Spannered's interview with him back in 2006.   Tracklisting: Segun Adewale - Yo Pop Music Susan Mapfumo - Dzvoko Zani Diabete - Super Djata Fede Lawu - Cherie Coco Edikanfo - Da Da Edikanfo Nyboma - Double Double Bibi Den’s Tshibayi - The Best Ambiance D.O.

Back in 2007, Kid Kameleon dropped an excellent pair of mixes for Spannered and Mashit exploring, as he put it, 'the weirder end of the dubstep spectrum'.   Well, Matt's racked up another double-drop of current picks from the bass music panoramic, with the first installment landing here on Spannered and part two surfacing over at the Mashit camp. As with Aim High/Aim Low, the Kid eschews clubland's big hitters in favour of the fringe elements, packing out both new mixes with some super-deep dubstep/techno hybrids and plenty of mutant 2-step stylings.   Tracklisting: Invasion Vs Shackleton - Wizards In Dub Part 1 Martyn - Is This Insanity ft Spaceape (Ben Klock mix) Teleseen - Black Monday feat.

1980. A good year for Ronald Reagan and Sissy Spacek but a bad year for John Lennon, Ian Curtis, and anyone involved in the production of Caligula. Chances are, even if you were alive and aware back then, you haven't experienced anything like this big bowl of 1980 soup, featuring fragments of music, news, film and trivia gathered up and broken down by the Timestump project. 1980: it's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there. Or would you? "People like using decades to categorise music. The 1970s: disco. The 1980s: Duran Duran. The 1990s: Take That. And the 2000s: Crazy Frog. But what if you zoom in a level and use a year instead? The Timestump project tests this out by taking a single year and turning it into a bewildering audio experience, staggering between musical genres, news stories, films, trivia and TV adverts. By showing how vast and confusing even a single year can be, it proves how daft it is to treat an entire decade as a single musical genre."   The Timestump Project, April 2010   Tracklisting: The Human League - Black Hit Of Space Madness - Shadow of Fear Pointer Sisters - He's So Shy Linton Kwesi Johnson - Reggae Fi Peach The Gap Band - Yearning For Your Love Telex - Plus De Distance Brian Eno & John Hassell - Delta Rain Dream Queen - Dragon Attack Cheap Trick - High Priest of Rock'n'Roll Paul Simon - One Trick Pony Blondie - Angels on the Balcony Dead Kennedys - California Uber Alles Tangerine Dream - Tangram 1 The Clash - The Call Up Joy Division - Twenty Four Hours Giorgio Moroder - Night Drive Ultravox - Mister X John Foxx - 030 David Bowie - Kingdom Come Kurtis Blow - The Breaks Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce Sister Sledge - You Fooled Around [TV Soup]

Another year, another Bloc. Another week-long hangover endured by thousands, as they attempt to piece together the muddled events of four days awake in a holiday camp-cum-ravezone patrolled by terrifyingly beady seagulls. In the early hours of Saturday morning, all the energy in Minehead Butlins seemed centred in the Jak Bloc venue, where Matt Whitehead played an hour-long live set of razor-tight electro, acid and techno. One half of drum'n'bass duo Cyantific, Matt's been getting lots of props for his solo material following the release of his Beat the Heat 12", put out last year by long-running electro collective Rebel Intelligence. He's also released a series of excellent machinefunk tracks with Sync 24 as Signal Type. For anyone who was miles from Minehead, or cowering in their chalet — or for those ready for a flashback — here's the recording.

Paul Blackford, one of the UK's foremost electro artists, established his Militant Science imprint in 2009 in a bid "to bridge the gap between electro and drum'n'bass". Operating solely in the digital realm, the label has already notched up a healthy discography, with new releases soon out from Robokid, Sound Synthesis, Oort Cloud, Vadz, Melogik and Blackford himself.   This bruising 38-minute mix by recent Militant Science signing Mossman collates new and forthcoming material from the catalogue. Enjoy!   Tracklisting: Mossman - Beeboss Philops - Elektr@n Chordata - Geis IIt Robokid - Eggy Bread Alien Sex Toy - Robotic Depression Synapse - Blast Radius Alien Sex Toy - Anytime Sound Synthesis - Secrets of Society Synth Alien - Spectral Attack Chordata - Seamus Robokid - Beef Stew and Dumplings Sound Synthesis - Easily Brainwashed Synth Alien - Casimir Effect Philops - Cell-@ Paul Blackford - Enhanced Transmat Mossman - Vast Goblin Vessel Zen Robots - Dark Fighters In Space Headnoaks - Power 2 da Beats (Disko 69 mix) Mossman - Sporophytes (version) Paul Blackford - The Grind Kragg - Spiral Mossman - Protosphagnales Kragg - Aircraft Traffic Zen Robots - City From Space ^ Catch the Militant Science sound in full effect in London at the start of April, with Paul Blackford and label artist Scrase playing alongside Wisp (Rephlex) and plenty more.

Anyone following the trajectory of London's open-eared Uncharted Audio label will know of Stephen Fiske's work as LJ Kruzer and his propensity for dispensing wonderfully emotive tracks loaded with intricate melodies and lush sonic textures.   Son of a Wiltshire vicar, Fiske's formative years were spent listening to his father accompanying hymn singing in church with a Yamaha keyboard — which goes far in explaining his penchant for perky re-rubs of Christmas carols.   Since first appearing on vinyl in 2002 (a split EP with The Council Flats of Kingsbury), the London-based producer has released a steady stream of tracks and remixes on Uncharted Audio, AI, Seed and a raft of netlabels. Last year saw the release of his widely lauded second album, Manhood & Electronics, an Eno-inspired masterpiece filled with gorgeous piano treatments, haunting synths and delicate percussive pulses.   Uncharted Audio's next release sees four tracks from Manhood & Electronics getting remix treatment from TVO, Trademark, Cyan341 and Ukkonen (info and audio here). To mark the occasion, Spannered is pleased to host an exclusive mix of LJ Kruzer's 'electronic picks', freshly gathered up from the interweb and glued together for your enjoyment.   "The mix is the result of an evening spent digging through online mp3 retailers for nice new electronic music. As someone who doesn't consume music in this format — I'm only just catching on to the convenience of CDs! — it was an interesting experience, but not as much fun as going out into the world and hunting and gathering vinyl. The one positive thing about shopping for mp3s online, I suppose, is that it's easier to avoid buying crap music. Not all the tunes on the mix are from mp3 shops — some of them are recent works made or released by musical friends. Anyway, now I have a folder on the family laptop full of new mp3s and nothing to do with them. Do I have to buy an iPod now? Are they even still called iPods...?"   LJ Kruzer, February 2010   Tracklisting: Maps+Diagrams – Last Train Home (Yuki Yaki) The Sight Below – Life’s Fading Light (Ghostly International) Reinhard Lakomy – Es wächst das Gras nicht über alles (Permanent Vacation) Asura – Peptine (Non Projects) Aleksi Perala – Sentimenthol (Rephlex) Asura – Asura I (Non Projects) Oneohtrix Point Never – Russian Mind (No Fun) Trademark – Tropic of Capricorn (Intelligent Audio) Isaac Himself – Dad’s Garage (Myuzyk) Erik XVI - Gravitationskraftens stilla vrede [Gravious’ Anti Gravity Mix] (Highpoint Lowlife) Pangaea – Sunset Yellow (Hessle Audio) Grohs – woven lake (unreleased) Klaus Weltman – Albo Th Pigeon Brings A Letter (Strange Life) Ciupy & Mihai Bejenaru – Jewel (Magnetik Grooves) LJ Kruzer – Poil [Cyan341 mix] (Uncharted Audio) Audion – Instant In You (Spectral Sound US) Posthuman – Europa Sky (Uncharted Audio) Reagenz – Du Bist Hier (Workshop) ^ LJ Kruzer's Manhood and Electronics Remixes is out soon ^ LJ Kruzer photograph by Jessica Love

New York-based multidisciplinary artist Daniel Perlin, aka DJ N-RON, first appeared on Spannered back in 2008 with his excellent Collaborator Mixtape.   The M-C-M1 Mixtape, like its predecessor, comes loaded with Daniel's own productions and mash-ups. This time around a sizzling Latin flavour prevails, with cumbia, reggaeton and baile funk jams bumping up against dark electronica, skewed pop and even the classic cover of Money (That's What I Want) by the Flying Lizards.    DJ N-RON photo courtesy of DJ Empirical.   Tracklisting: Joseph Beuys - Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee/Larry Miller-Accord (Selections From The 2nd and 4th Movement) N-RON - Darksteps/Grimelock - Justice N-RON - Rap da Felicidade (Cidinho e Doca) Stepmix Flying Lizards - Money (That's What I Want) (N-RON intermix) Cota GV - Biling/Vandergraff - NDE/Jon Hopkins - Vessel Celso Pina - Cumbia Sobre El Rio Interludio/Sonido Desconocido - VW Cumbia Regadda - Instrumental/William Burroughs - Cut Up 19 El General - La Culebrita/Chico Science & Nação Zumbi - Baião Ambiental (Instrumental) Bodran 1/Assassin Step Pon Them (acca)/Malica - Girl Hot Molequ Manhoso & Bonde do Rodo-danca do Rodo MC Colibri - CPI Afroditas - Pasconcito (N-RON Rico mix) N-RON - La Calle Es Todo Diplo - Ward21 Bay of Figs/Pase Rock - The Motherfucking Rave is Over Tego Calderon - Trangalanga/Alex Under - El Ganado Ovizo Blanco Mangueira DJ - Não Gostou//Krnl Panic - Playboy's Blend - Pancic Refix Baile Funk remixAutomatic refix Comrade Fulozinha-Obá (N-RON remix) ^ Listen to DJ N-RON's Collaborator Mixtape here

Over more than a decade, in his production and DJ work, as well as his emergent photography, West London dweller Duley has continually delighted in bringing us the oblique and unexpected.   In Let's Get This Party Slanted, a spare and haunting frame wears in turn several digital and analogue guises. Look for lights flashing out from the murky maisma, bits of Autechre, Chris Carter, Sun Electric and others leading towards catharsis in James Plotkin and Mick Harris's well-named Collapse.   Photograph by Max Duley.   Tracklisting: Lustmord - Primordial Atom (Soleilmoon) Simon Fisher Turner - Hymn For Thatcher (Mute) Brunnen - Tippoo's Tiger (Beta-lactam Ring) Chris Carter - Chakutut (Conspiracy International) Autechre - Paralel Suns (Warp) Column One - Re-Worked Transmission (Stateart) Black Sun Productions - The Skunk (Old Europa Café) Max Waters - Stars And Scribble (Blasé) Andrew Liles - Auto Manipulator - 4th Degree (A Lesson To Be Learnt) (Lumberton Trading Company) Black Dice - Endless Happiness (DFA) The Jackofficers - An Hawaiian Christmas Song (Naked Brain) Aerial Service Area - ETI Encoding (Fax +49-69/450464) Pemalas - Tones (Experimental Seafood) The Silverman - Nature Of Illusion (Beta-lactam Ring) Danny Kreutzfeldt - Chasm (Databloem) Satori - Paralysis (Dogma Chase) Sun Electric - Newambi (R&S) James Plotkin, Mick Harris - Collapse (Asphodel)

DJ, producer and sound-recordist — and curator of the Sambacana Brazilian music archive here on Spannered — Maga Bo seems to be on a lifelong intercontinental cultural exchange programme.   Outras Terras features collaborations with artists from a dizzying array of locations, including Jahdan Blakkamoore (Brooklyn), BNegão (Rio de Janeiro), Ghislain Poirier (Montreal), Filastine (Barcelona), Pacheko (Caracas), Fletcher (Cape Town), Dr. Das (London), Matona (Zanzibar), Abena Koomson (NYC), Teba (Cape Town), Xuman (Dakar) and Speed Freaks (Rio de Janeiro).   Cultural building blocks in the mix range from ragga, hip hop, dub and breakcore through to kuduro, cumbia, crunk, coco and samba.

This live set was recorded in London for Spannered in September 2009. You can read more about Armando's music and the history of Alpha 606 here. Recent releases include the widely acclaimed Electrónica Afro-Cubano EP for Interdimensional Transmissions and inclusion on the 2009 Touchin' Bass compilation Geometry. ^ The debut Alpha 606 album is out on Interdimensional Transmissions early next year.

ForceFed is Dublin-based DJ/production duo, A-Force and Bluefood. Earlier this year they joined forces as a live dub/electronica act, playing their first gig in a sweaty cavern in Italy. Both have released music separately on AlphabetSet and !Kaboogie.   Gotham Tropical is part of a showcase for Spannered of audio from Dublin's !Kaboogie camp. You can grab artwork to accompany the set here.   No tracklisting.

Dublin resident Ed Devane makes, as he puts it, 'bass-heavy weird dancefloor music, to ambient noise, to more "musical" music with a zither'. He's released on Touchin' Bass, Mantrap Recordings, Spacebar Sentiments, Kontakte, and Belfast's recently resurrected Takeover Records, and is shortly to appear on Dublin's !Kaboogie Records.   Mixed up by !Kaboogie resident Redmonk, this selection of new and forthcoming material is part of a showcase pulled together by the Dublin-based crew to mark the launch of their second label release. You can grab artwork to accompany the mix here.   Tracklisting: Dubcore Maximus (!Kaboogie) Underflux (Mantrap Records) Predicament (Stasis Records) Saca (Takeover) Frozen Backpackers (Fothcoming Mantrap Records) Doomtime, Baby feat.

Emptyset was born in 2005 when James 'Ginz' Ginzburg (30Hz, Joker collaborator, and co-founder of Tectonic Recordings) met art curator and DJ Paul Purgas (the man behind last year's excellent We Can Elude Control release) through Bristol's music scene.   The duo embarked on a production project to explore their musical commonalities, such as low frequencies, sound design and rhythm. The results — a nervous-sounding strain of minimal techno, fortified by bone-rattling subbass — first surfaced in 2007 with a pair of sought-after EPs for Future Days. A third EP appeared on Julian Smith's Caravan Recordings in 2008, paving the way for the label to release Emptyset's eponymously titled debut album last month.   Clocking in at just over 37 minutes, the album is a buzzing opus of lumbering rhythms, creeping distortion, bleeps, hums and warm bass tones. 'We wanted to create situations where the music came alive from its own side by finding the points within signal chains where distortion begins to form before it overpowers', they explain of the album in an interview over at Sonic Router.   This mix pulls together some of Emptyset's reference points, from the glitch-ridden electronics of Alva Noto and classic minimalism of Richie Hawtin's Plastikman material to emotive Aphex acid and the advanced techno/dubstep workouts of 2562.   Emptyset have a stack of projects lined up for 2010, including a series of live techno recordings made in a haunted house (!) — watch this space...   Tracklisting: Byetone - Plastic Star (Alva Noto remix) MLZ - New Analogue Century Hauntologists - Hauntologists 2 Carl Craig & Moritz Von Oswald - Recomposed Substance - Relish (Shed remix) 2562 - Love in Outer Space Emptyset - Seclusion Peverelist - Clunk Click Every Trip Bogger - Wireblock 002 AFX - Analord 8 Plastikman - Freek Jeff Mills - Expanded A Made Up Sound - On & On Move D - Workshop 002 Craig Smith & The Revenge - Soul Part II Blake Baxter - Derise Me October - Homo Sapiens Jammin Gerald - Black Women Demdike Stare - Ghostly Hardware Radioslave - Tantakatan Seldom Felt - Seldom Felt 5 Santos - Beat the Knuckles 2562 - Circulate Sleeparchive - Hospital 02 Underground Resistance - X101 Pole - Steingarten (Shackleton remix)  ^ Emptyset's debut album is out now on Caravan Recordings

Portuguese brothers Leo (Dizzycutter) and Bruno (Mushug) have been working on their respective musical projects for over a decade, but it was only last year when they were asked play a show in their home city of Lisbon for local crew Conspira that they joined forces to form live/production outfit Octo Push. Since then the duo have found themselves increasingly in demand, remixing the likes of Jahcoozi, Buraka Som Sistema and DJ C, gigging from Glade Festival to Fabric, and even catching the ear of Thom Yorke with their highly kinetic blend of garage, techno, IDM, Afrobeat and bashment.   Octa Push made their vinyl debut this summer, launching Monkey Steak's Steak House imprint by way of a split EP with fellow Lisbon resident Mr Gasparov. This month sees the release of a white-hot three-tracker for Lisbon/Barcelona-based Iberian Records featuring the vocal talents of Cape Verde's Toni Clean and Panamanian-born MC Zulu, as well as the inclusion of their track Quebu Sabe on Soul Jazz Record's Steppa's Delight 2 compilation. They're also due to feature on Fabric's forthcoming release Elevator Music Vol I. This live set was recorded on the Overkill stage at Glade 2009 as part of a showcase for Bristol's Ruffnek Diskotek (Octa Push appearing alongside Heatwave, Monkey Steak, Ghislain Poirier and MC Zulu, and Tim Dub Boy). Leo and Bruno tell us that their live act will undergo something of a transformation over the coming months, so track them down if they're playing a gig near you and find out what they've got in store.   ^ Deixa by Octa Push is out now on Iberian Records

This mix includes dense aural fogs and deep soundscapes of clarity from the likes of Mika Vainio, Deathprod, CoH, field recordist Chris Watson, and the majestic Delia Derbyshire. Coldfall is inspired by the now-fragmented ancient woodland of London and its perseverance throughout the centuries. It also owes much to erratic weather patterns deluging London with downpours during the time of its conception.   Originally broadcast on Ill FM, August 2009.   Tracklisting: Mark Pritchard - ?

With hellodoctornamecontinueyesterdaytomorrow, aka Spannered's 10th Oddcast, Datassette takes us through a wild and wonderful set of library music and various treats of the analogue world. Space out 70s style and enjoy a kaleidoscopic array of wibs and wobbles, blips and bloops, clicks and whooshes, and other mysterious sounds of the spheres. If this collection were a van, it would have carpeting all over the inside, swivelling seats, and an 8-track player. Since it's an Oddcast, you're stuck with listening to it. Just be sure you have your seatbelt on. Datassette, also known as Datashat, has releases on Echoecho, Ai Records, and other labels, and recently remixed Royskopp's Happy Up Here on Wall of Sound. The most excellent Handsette Recordings, which Datassette also has a hand in, has a new release out as well. Datassette has kindly supplied some truly cosmic artwork to enhance your experience (especially effective if you stare at it intently while listening).   Take it away Datassette!   Tracklisting:   Bruno Spoerri — Glückskugel: Title (197x) Man — Just For You (Edit) (1973) Alan Hawkshaw — Transcendental Meditation (1975) Dave Vorhaus — Interaction (1980) Doxa Sinistra — Alien (1982) Mike Vickers — Technopolis (1973) Isao Tomita — The Two Jews (1975) Electronic Concept Orchestra — Windmills Of Your Mind (1969) Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention — Oh No (Edit) (1970) Dave Vorhaus — The Great Chip Takeover (1980) Mike Vickers — Retribution (1973) G Narholz — Join In The Dance (1977) Doxa Sinistra — The Other Stranger (1982) Severed Heads — 4.W.D.

'Burning Man 2008 saw over 49,000 participants revelling in the Black Rock Desert, working together to create the magic metropolis that is Black Rock City. The week was bookended by vicious dust storms, between which Mother Nature graced our encampment with gorgeously placid weather, allowing participants to enjoy the artwork, community and broad expanses of the playa. The Man, standing atop an obelisk bedecked with the flags of all nations, spoke of our American Dream, which is truly a global dream. Saturday's dust storms broke their stranglehold on the city in time to allow the community to gather to watch the Man burn late that night. On Sunday evening, Shrine and Tuktuk's "Basura Sagrada" temple burned before a silently reverent audience, taking with it our community's missives to the great beyond. All told, it was a very successful Burning Man event, however, trying to explain what Burning Man is to someone who has never been is a bit like trying to explain what a particular colour looks like to someone who is blind. For me this is the festival of all festivals. if you get the chance, go!' Orson Bramley aka Transparent Sound LA, 2009   --   Orson Bramley and Martin Brown have been making music under the name Transparent Sound since the mid-nineties and have established themselves as one of the UK's leading electro acts. They have released tracks on their own imprints, Transparent Sound and Orson Records, and labels such as Electrix, Exceptional, Mass Transit and Satamile.

DJ Bus Replacement Serivce (pictured left) has been described by multidisciplinary artist Russell Haswell as "evil" and "like a policewoman". She has now left the UK.  MC Toilet (pictured right) has been described by Brian Eno as "a visionary, a towering ellipsis of musicality, verve, passion and lyricism".

The third member of London's Adverse Camber crew to contribute to Spannered's Radio section (alongside El Kano and Randomoidz), Scheme Boy delivers a steamroller of a mix that oscillates between mangled 'n' mentalist breaks and squashy pumping techno (with a cupful of fidgety funk thrown in for good measure).   Scheme Boy's music has recently appeared on rambunctious record labels such as Bang-A-Rang and Ninja Columbo. When he's not scheming on his own he plays in acid 'n' break(core) duo Boep (with Randomoidz) and post-rock outfit Agent Elf. He also owns a striking collection of clothes pegs.   Sleeve art for the mix here.   Tracklisting: Vibesquad - Members Only Tom Burbank - Gnats Rustie - Pendulum Tipper - Off Kilter Twerk - Untitled Vibesquad - Jowels Speedy J & Chris Liebing - Modish Ride Trentemoller - Physical Fraction Wagonchrist - Cris Chana Tipper - Veil Lifted LFO - Tied Up Spor - Electro Funeral Noisia - Yellow Brick Oizo & Errorsmith - Erreurjean Justice - Phantom Part 1 Mothboy - Selfish Plan Cursor Miner - Foxfux Errors - Pump Vent - Warez 3.5.1 (Afghan Headspin Remix) Tim Exile - Inseminov Mathias Schaffhauser - Coincidance (Trentemoller Remix) Mouse On Mars - Spaceship Noisia - Groundhog Chris Clark - Truncation Horn Noisia - Raar Squarepusher - Snake Pass Slaughter Mob - Dub Weapon Vent - Crystallite Vip Trentemoller - Polar Shift Surgeon - Bad Hands (Autechre Remix) Tipper - Open The Jowels VIP Reso - 2 Faced Rasta Noisia - Seven Stitches Cardopusher - Green Disorder TRG – Horny (Reso Remix) Donna Summer - Rock Rock Rock (Aaron Spectre Remix) Spor - Mordez Moi Duran Duran Duran - Face Blast Noisia, Milanese & Peter Gabriel (Chopped & Glued By Scheme Boy) - Gutter Hammer

This is a welcoming mix, as satisfying as a warm mug of deep bass and crystalline sounds after a long day lolloping over the fields and through the trees of North London. It opens and ends with classic Brian Eno tracks, extending over a broad sweep of ambience that takes in its path the breathy holds of Stars of the Lid and Coil's dense chemically inspired transcription. Room is made for the inclusion of classic synth sounds from Vangelis, as well as the very modern artistry of Burial and attenuated swoops of COH.

A warm welcome back to Tim Rayner, aka Dub Boy, who returns to Radio Spannered with a worthy sequel to last year's much-downloaded Rooted & Grounded mix.   Tim's been keeping up the pressure in Bristol with his Ruffnek Diskotek nights and related projects (such as the hotly anticipated second Monster Bass night, which takes place on the 4th of April with Scotland's number one reggae soundsystem, Mungo's Hi Fi).   Cool sleeve art to accompany the mix here.   Tracklisting: Shinehead – Billie Jean (African Love) Bounty Killer, Nitty Kuchie & Angel Doolas – Go Away (Kingston 11) Biga – Nah Buss Mi Gun Fa Nuhum (Furybass) Colonel Maxwell – Heart Attack (Furybass) Carl Meeks – Help Me Jah (Furybass) Mikey Melody – Stand Up & Chant (Furybass) Laroz & Ranking Levy – Rootsman Party (........)

Last year we asked DJ Wrongspeed of Resonance FM's tumultuous Red Zero Radio shows to put together a rowdy mix to blow away the winter cobwebs. He describes the resulting 21 minutes, Bad Day for Owling Championships, as 'a messed up hard drive all going wrong'; he also adds that some of the track names are better than the actual music... but we'll let you be the judge of that.   Paul Holmes shot the excellent abandoned surgery photo that accompanys the mix. You can check out more of his pictures here.   Tracklisting: Henri Chopin - Respirent Pain Jerk - 'and it takes only minutes for a flock to gather on the carcass' Sully - Destroyah Torqux - Relentless (16bit remix) NoizeCreator - Pushit!

With a background in punk, dub, hip hop and electro, and over 500 live shows (under various guises) behind him, David Giese, aka Joxaren, has fine credentials as an ambassador for Scandinavia's burgeoning skweee movement. Skweee, a style of stripped-down digital funk that draws influence from soul, R&B, electro and chiptune music, has been garnering kudos from blogs and forums through to the mainstream UK press over the past 12 months, helped in no small way by the first ever UK skweee showcase that took place at Ballers Social Club (LuckyMe's twice-monthly night in Glasgow) in January 2008. Joxaren will be returning to Ballers Social Club later this month for one of his acclaimed live shows ('completely hardware based, improvised and energetic'), and to promote the gig he's put together this great DJ mix that juxtaposes pop and hip hop old and new with a slew of bumping skweee jams.   Keep a look out for Joxaren's limited 7" soon to drop on Frans Carlqvist's Flogsta Danshall imprint, and the forthcoming Skweee Tooth compilation (featuring his Fel i Facit track) on the excellent Ramp Recordings.   Tracklisting: Space - Velvet Rape Telepathe - Lights go Down The Cure - The Dream Eero Johannes - We could be Skweeeroes Rigas den Andre - Wedge (mash-up w/Spank Rock) Young Dro - Jackie Chan Limonious - Swedish Pommac (mash-up w/Chopper City Boys) Roots Manuva - Seat Yourself Melkeveien - Melkeveien Roots Manuva - Show must go on Uday - Ghetto Bomb Nitzer Ebb - Drive Depeche Mode - Fly on the Windscreen Boyz of Caligula - Izan Tiger Cat Stevens - Was Dog a Doughnut Teletron - What Time Mtume - I Simply Like EDMX - 100 (Uday Remix) Eden Hashish Center - Black Label Bootleg WET - Don't hide inside your Love Chocolate Star - The Pop Kleeer - Tonight Daniel Savio - We call it Skweee ^ Joxaren plays at Ballers Social Club, Glasgow on March 28th

Known in electronic music circles for his releases on Seed Records, Charles Matthews, aka Ardisson has spent much of the last few years immersing himself in music from the Indonesian islands of Bali and Java. This, the seventh installment of Spannered's Oddcast series, is a selection of music from Bali.   'This is a mix of various styles of Balinese music you can find on CD outside of Bali. Some of my friends complain that gamelan sounds a bit samey so I wanted to make sure there was a nice variety of timbres. There's a bit of genggong, gambuh, beleganjur, kecak... gamelan gambang, angklung and gong gede... it doesn't even scrape the surface though. I had fun mixing it so a couple of bits have come out a tad weird. I can't find the tracklisting right now but if you like this then a good place to start is Music From the Morning of the World on Nonesuch Recordings.' Ardisson, London 2009

This set of new material, originally broadcast at the end of 2008 on Scanone's Ill FM show, The Lost Tapes, is evidence of some seriously productive studio time since Point B made his debut contribution to Spannered just over a year ago. Not content with honing his dark dubstep/electro sound, Rich Bultitude has also been fleshing out two other projects from opposing ends of the rhythmic spectrum: Planes and Xammatu.   And if you haven't already grabbed it, there's a free EP of Point B tracks awaiting you over at his site...   Tracklisting: Creepy Steeple Someone Else's Past Saw Dust Istocity Meter Day Tension Three Colour Vision No Smokes Figit Gymede Side Effects Minerals To Follow You

When a mix bags the accolade of Kid Kameleon's mixtape of the year, you know it's going to be shit-hot, basically. The Collaborator Mixtape is a unique and wonderfully fluid piece of work from Daniel Perlin, aka DJ N-RON, an artist, producer and sound designer based in New York. Originally released in January 2008, the selection is mostly original beats and tracks from Daniel, featuring a raft of 'collaborations', made with artists both wittingly (Matt Shadetek, DJ /rupture) and unwittingly (M.I.A., Lady Sovereign). DJ N-RON is currently on tour in Europe — check his MurdochSpace for a list of dates. If he's playing in a city near you, we recommend you go check the man out!

Clocking in at just over 45 minutes, this vinyl selection from Uberdog swims through various aquatic electronic styles before coming to a rather murky end in a dubwise trench.

In homage to the music he suckled on as a youth, badass beat junkie Bobby Corridor has put together this colossal hip hop megamix, shoeshorning an obscene 600+ tracks into 90 minutes.   In what he describes as 'a blip in the matrix', Mr Corridor has been nominated for best hip hop DJ in this year's DJ Awards. If you'd like to help Bobby on his way to sipping a mojito around the pool as Cox and Tong lord it about in their g-strings, head over there and give your support! Alternatively, you can make yourself a mojito and check out Bobby's wicked Reggae Source mixtape that he recorded for Spannered in 2007.   Everybody in the house say hell yeah!   Tracklisting (roughly speaking...): Boogie Down Productions – The Bridge Is Over Boogie Down Productions – P Is Free Ten Thieves – It Don’t Matter Quasimoto – Bad Character East Flatbush Project – Tried By Twelve Beatnuts – Sandwiches Levi 167 – Something Fresh to Swing To Mic Geronimo – The Natural Doug E Fresh – Play This Only At Night Royal Flush – Worldwide Big Shug – Crush DITC – The Enemy Public Enemy – Shut ‘Em Down Ultimate Force – I’m Not Playin’ Boogie Down Productions – Dope Beat Saukrates – Father Time LL Cool J – The Breakthrough Gang Starr – You Know My Steez Common – Nuttin’ to Do Jeru – The Bullshit MC Shan – Project Ho Ultramagnetic MCs – One Two, One Two MC Mitchski – Brooklyn Blew Up The Bridge Goodie Mob – Cell Therapy Just Ice – Latoya Just Ice – Going Way Back Eric B & Rakim – My Melody LL Cool J – I Need A Beat Just Ice – Put That Record Back On Craig Mack – Flava In Ya Ear Rammelzee & K Rob – Beat Bop Notorious BIG – Big Poppa Audio Two – Top Billin’ Chill Rob G – Future Shock Big L – MVP Masta Ace – Born To Roll Fat Joe – Shit Is Real Gang Starr – DJ Premier In Deep Concentration Marley Marl – He Cuts So Fresh Dr Dre – Keep Their Heads Ringinh Group Home – Supastar Boogie Down Productions – Criminal Minded Krown Rulers – B Boy Document Showbiz & AG – Next Level Notorious BIG – Unbelievable King Tee – Payback’s A Mutha Group Home – Livin’ Proof MC Shan – Beat Biter Ol’ Dirty Bastard – Brooklyn Zoo (remix) Alliance – We Can Get Used To This Paula Perry – Paula’s Jam Cool C – Mary Go Round Kings of Pressure – You Know How To Reach Us Jeru – Come Clean Junior Mafia – Player’s Anthem Nas – One Love Heltah Skeltah – Operation Lockdown Fuschnickens – Ring the Alarm Heltah Skeltah – Operation Lockdown Kirk – Feel the Boom Blahzay Blahzay – Danger Krumbsnatcha – Closer to God De La Soul – Bizness Real Live – Real Live Shit DITC – One Day Rasco – The Unassisted Busta Rhymes – Woo Ha Common – Doinit Pharcyde – Drop A Tribe Called Quest – Find a Way Pharcyde – Bullshit Common – I Used to Love H.E.R Quasimoto – Discipline 99 pt.1 Common – Resurrection Nas – Halftime Das EFX – Microphone Checka Grand Puba – I Like It Bas Blasta – Dangerous LL Cool J – Dangerous Kurious – Walk Like a Duck Big Daddy Kane – Smooth Operator Beatnuts – Props Over Here (Remix) KRS One – Rappaz R N Danja A Tribe Called Quest – Bonita Applebum Slick Rick – It’s a Boy (Remix) Apache – Gangsta Bitch Young MC – Got More Rhymes Reflection Eternal – Fortified Live Raekwon – Ice Cream Gza – Shadowboxin’ KRS One – MCs Act Like They Don’t Know Craig Mack – Get Down (remix) Casual – That’s How It Is Jeru – D’Original Peanut Butter Wolf & Charizma – My World Premiere World Reknown – Come Take a Ride Bush Babeez – Remember Me Lord Finesse – Funky Technician AWOL – Bring It Up De La Soul – Potholes in my Lawn Gang Starr – Blowin’ Up the Spot Medina Green – Crosstown Beef Jungle Brothers – Jimbowski Das EFX – Kaught in Da Ak Quasimoto – Put a Curse On You Beatnuts – No Equal Lenchmob – Lenchmob Also In The Group King Tee – Played Like a Piano Little Shawn – I Made Love Lady of Rage – Afro Puffs MC Lyte – Cappucino The Nonce – Mixtapes Pharoah Monch – Simon Says KRS One – Sound Of Da Police Cool C – Juice Crew Dis Lord Finesse – You Know What I’m About KRS One – Outta Here Latee – No Tricks Dr Dre – 187 Strickly Roots – Beg No Friends Gang Starr – Step In The Arena Boogie Down Productions – Super Hoe Boogie Down Productions – Poetry Mad Skillz – Nod Factor Nonce – Eighty Five Boogie Down Productions – My Philosophy A Tribe Called Quest – Against The World A Tribe Called Quest – 1nce Again Lyricist Lounge Allstars – CIA Cyclops 400 – Macro Scope Bucksot Lefonque – Music Evolution Big Lady K – Don’t Get Me Started Lord Finesse – Funky Technician Ed OG & Da Bulldogs – I Gotta Have It Kenny Dope – Supa Crooklyn Dodgers – Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers A Tribe Called Quest – Check The Rhime Gang Starr – The ?

'Mutating bass beats are infecting the planet!!!', writes DJ Flack of his sick new mix for Radio Spannered.   Antony Flackett, aka DJ Flack, is a DJ, producer and multimedia artist living in the Boston area. Together with Wayne 'Wayne and Wax' Marshall, Antony co-hosts the genre-mashing Beat Research parties in Cambridge, Massachusetts — a weekly colision of wobbly world flavours taking in dubstep, 2-step, bhangra, grime, jungle, bashment, hip hop and ragga. As a recording artist he has released music on Mashit, Bliss and Beat Research's own label project; he also performs alongside Mashit head honcho DJ C as DuoTone.   Here he blazes across continents with a 43-minute mix of his current bassline fixes.

"...a throwback to the days of the old boom bap, when tracks just made you want to bang your head and break your neck", says Laurent Fintoni, aka Kper, of his current hip hop fixes: beatheads such as Flying Lotus and edIT in LA, Dabrye and Waajeed in Detroit, and Rustie and Hudson Mohawke in Scotland. Laurent has been interviewing some of the aforementioned artists for articles coming out in the August issue of Serie B magazine. This mix, featuring snippets of the interviews (taken from www.samurai.fm), showcases many of the crucial players in this globally evolving hip hop sound.

DubConscious is the alter ego for Bristol-based DJ Merkazoid, a young selector currently pushing the laptop reggae sound in the southwest of England. A convert from hip hop to bone-rattling Bristol bass and future dub, Mr Merkazoid tells us he's been busily knocking out six-hour reggae, ska and dub sets about the city. Stuffed to the hilt with tracks from Spannered faves such as Disrupt and Mungo's Hi Fi, this selection is pretty damn smokin', we reckon.
