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.

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?

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!

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. Jah Sight Hizatron - Telescope Dope Deadboy - Brock Lee Riddim xxxy - Blue Flashing Lights Instra:mental - Forbidden Al Tourettes - Dodgem Planetary Assualt Systems - X Speaks To X (Al Tourettes & Appleblim remix) Millie & Andrea - Black Hammer Kontext - Convex Curved Mirror Sigha - Hold Your Heart Up To The Light Wedge & Aesoteric - Detached Reality LV - Kowton Metronome (LV Rmx) Untold - Beacon (W/D Franklin) Scuba - Poppies (Substance dub version) ^ Check part two over on the Mashit site ^ Listen to Kid Kameleon's Aim Low on Spannered here

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

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.

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.

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 (........)

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

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 ?

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.

Hot on the heels of his mix for Spannered from October last year, Tim Rayner, aka Dub Boy, graces the site's radio section once more, this time dropping a wide range of original and contemporary roots, dub & dancehall, from both Jamaica and Europe — with plenty of Bristolian goodness sprinkled throughout.   Tracklisting: Beenie Man — Pardon (Taxi) Lady Saw — Married Man (Taxi) Mr Vegas — Lean Wid It(Taxi) Sugar Minott — Tune In (Taxi) Sugar Minott & Bounty Killer — Tune In (Taxi) Taurus & Jimmy Riley — Pull Up Selector (Taxi) Shabba Ranks — Respect (Shang) Barrington Levy — Murderer (Jah Life) Carlton Livingston — 100 lbs of Collie Weed (Jah Life) RSD — Murderah (Unreleased) Mungo's Hi Fi ft.

Adverse Camber’s El Kano returns to Spannered with a malevolent mix up of metal, hardcore, grunge, distortion, throaty bellowing, deranged jabbering, hissing, clunking, and messy digital contortions — with a heap of megalomaniacal ranting from Superman's archfoe thrown in for good measure.   Brace yourself for an aural fisting!   Tracklisting: Tracks and extracts — speech by General Zod Khlyst — IV Knut — Karn Boys (Oren Ambarchi / Robin Fox / Antony Pateras Remix) Ministry — TV II Converge — Heartless Dillinger Escape Plan — When Acting As A Wave Eustachian — Teleporting Salesman Pig Destroyer — Lesser Animal Meshuggah — Exquisite Machinery of Torture Khanate — Torching Korovie Ennio Morricone — L’Uccello Con Le Piume Di Cristallo (Titoli) Shellac — The Crow Boris — Six, Three Times Drumcorps — Terrible Things Leviathan — What Fresh Hell Abelcain — Bitter Moon Blossom Nile — Khetti Satha Shemsu Gyorgy Ligeti — Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Two Mixed Choirs and Orchestra Khanate — Skin Coat Old Man Gloom — Poisoner Queens Of The Stone Age — You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar...

Chris Wood from the goodie-packed Word the Cat blog recently dropped us a line about the splendid new mix he's concocted. It brought to mind Hanuman's and El Kano's playlists (two of our fave DJs here at Spannered) — a slew of moods from the grime and dubstep worlds, liberally sprinkled with flavas stretching from bassline house, bumpy ragga and old skool to 8-bit dub, Nepali lok pop, frosty minimalism and chiptune breakcore; he's even managed to slide in a few words of hillwalking wisdom from the late, great Alfred Wainwright.   Chris has kindly let us host the mix here in Spannered's radio archive. He asked it we'd link listeners up to the 8bitcollective site — 'the first completely open chiptune-related media repository and file sharing community'. The electronicMESS track is available there for use under a Creative Commons License, along with a stack of other great 8-bit jams. Go check it.   Tracklisting:  BBC Field Recording - The Skuas Caspa vs Art of Noise - Moments in Love (White) Squeezer f/ Nature - Yote Ni Yale Yale (WTC Screw) Matt Shadetek - Warm Heart Turns Cold (mp3) Joker - J.

The grandmaster of wonky techno sees in the festive season by recording an exclusive mix for Spannered, chock-full of spazzed-out dance music and questionable humour. The set, recorded in a north London cheese factory in honour of the late, great Leonard Rossiter (we shit you not), is probably now the stupidest radio set on the entire site — an accolade we're sure Jerome will be pleased with.   Comes complete with special edition hand-scrawled tracklisting!     Check out Jerome's new radio show on uncut.fm, every Wednesday starting 25/02/09!

Ever since Spannered launched, we've been clammoring for Kid Kameleon to put together a mix for the site, and finally it's here. Well, it's half here, in fact: Aim Low is one part of a dual mix release from the Kid — a pair of selections representing 'the weird end of dubstep' while giving plenty of props to up-and-coming artists, he tells us. The other half, Aim High, is hosted by our good friends over at the Mashit site — and while you're there, take plenty of time to check out the spread of mixes and other great stuff on offer.   Big up Inkcore for the cool artwork!   Tracklisting: Boxcutter — Windfall (Planet Mu) Clouds — Shallow (Dub) Blackdown & Dusk — Northside Cheng Dub (Keysound) Flippo — Rain (Dub) Reform — Untitled (Dub) Secret Agent Gel — Banker (Dub) Sky City Rising — Glock Box (Broklyn Beats) Sarantis — Why Dem Fight ft.

Bristol and bass music have been happy bedfellows for a long, long time, but in recent years a new wave of producers, promoters and DJs have been properly shaking up the city's clubs, pubs, bars and warehouses, throwing traditional dub, reggae and dancehall flavours into the hotpot alongside dubstep, grime, ragga, breakcore and jungle — crews such as P.R.A.N.K., Dissident, Heatwave and Hench, and events such as Subloaded, Dubloaded, Toxic Dancehall and Ruffnek Diskotek, to name a few. Dub Boy, aka Tim Rayner, is one of the driving forces behind Ruffnek Diskotek — a regular fixture about town that sticks doggedly to its mantra of supplying 'riddim and bass to wind up yuh waist', roping in many of the scene's biggest names and all the best local acts to ensure the job gets done properly. Tim's quite a selector, having played alongside luminaries ranging from David Rodigan and Digital Mystikz to Klute and Congo Natty.

South London-based Kim Sampson, aka Skim, has been crafting some great DJ mixes over the last few years, so we figured it was high time we asked her to put one together for Spannered. Her genre-hopping DJing makes for a curious mixture of sounds, best demonstrated on her radio shows for Resonance FM (Burning Decks and Decibel Breach) and Ill FM.   Tracklisting: Machine Drum — Urban Biology (Merck) No Movement No Sound No Memories — Acetate (Lux Nigra) Distorto — Distorto_1 (Distorto) The 5% Nation of Casiotone — Ikuji (Kracktronik) ScanOne — Cutters Choice (Combat) 2562 — Circulate (Tectonic) Blam — Traitor (Ruff) 2nd II None — Rewind (Heavy Artillery) Starkey — Pins (Dead Homies) Soul Oddity — Rhythm Box (Schematic) Chaos — Afrogermanic (Underground Resistance) Distorto — Distorto_3 (Distorto) Claro Intelecto — Tone (Ai) Troubleshooter — Data Polling (Modern Love) Starkey — Let You Go (Dead Homies) Intricate — Obregad (Spezialmaterial) Julien Neto — Ninety Four (Miasmah)

Scottish techno pioneer, Spannered associate and owner of one very fine hat, Neil Landstrumm last graced these pages when the site launched back in December 2006. Well, he's back with a splendid new live recording, put together in Edinburgh this month as a promo for his current Subs & Steel tour. The string of dates kicked off at the Today's Art festival last weekend, where he also performed for the first time with collaborator Milanese.   On more of a broken tip than his previous studio mixes, the sound is still unmistakably Landstrumm, with all manner of spannered electronic rhythms freaking out under a storm of bleeps, bass and thick Jupiter 8 stabs.   For current tour dates, check his MurdochSpace page.   No tracklisting. ^ Read Spannered's 2006 interview with Neil Landstrumm ^ Read Overload Media's interview with Neil Landstrumm from 2001 ^ Listen to Neil Landstrumm's Ravestep studio mix, recorded in 2006

For some years now, Bristol's under_score crew have been flying the flag for deep techno flavours in the city, putting on parties with guests such as Sleeparchive, Claro Intelecto and Errorsmith, and showing plenty of love too for the dubstep/techno crossover currently blossoming (Bristol pioneer Pinch performed at under_score alongside Manchester's Andy Stott earlier this year).   High quality guests aside, under_score's position on the local scene has been firmly cemented by way of core residents Microman (aka one half of Emptyset), Luke Malcher and Jim Petherwick — and Jim has kindly put together this exclusive mix for Spannered, which gives an excellent introduction to the under_score sound.   Tracklisting: Tony Allen — Ole (Moritz von Oswald remix) Claude Vonstroke — Who's Afraid of Detroit? (Deepchord Remix) Model 500 — Starlight Luciano — Fourges et Sabres Maurizio — Domina Substance & Vainqueur — Immersion (Sleeparchive Remix) Sleeparchive — Research Henry & Louis — Answer (DJ Pinch Remix) Lowtec — Workshop 1 side A (untitled) Baby Ford & Zip — No Milk Today T++ — Space Break 2562 — Circulate Rhythm & Sound — Poor People Must Work (Carl Craig Remix) Heartthrob — Gollum Rhythm & Sound w/ Shalom — We Been Troddin   ^ You can catch the under_score crew in action at the Blue Mountain Club, Bristol, on 22 September, with Baby Ford and Raudive (aka Oliver Ho) headlining.

Yep, there's more free Cylob up for grabs! Taken from the Formant Potaton album, soon to drop on Chris Jeff's digital label Cylob Industries, Get A Taste is an R&B-parodying, splattered electro stomp, available for you here as a 192kbps download.   Remember, Chris' Rock The Trojan Fader track is still available from Spannered, and you can read about his new label project in our interview here.   ^ Formant Potaton is released on 20 August.

Jan Gleichmar, aka Disrupt, and partner in crime Rootah are leading the way in laptop dub reggae with their mighty fine web label Jahtari. Operated out of Jan's flat in Leipzig, Germany, the Jahtari site is a goldmine of free music from Jan and fellow subscribers to the label's theory. There's tons of cool writing too, about reggae history, the Commodore 64, old bits of music kit... and plenty more besides.   In anticipation of Spannered's forthcoming interview with Jan, we suggest you fill your ears with this hour-long Disrupt set, recorded live in Glasgow on 31 March of this year, when he played for the city's Mungo's Hi Fi crew. And remember, Spannered is hosting a great studio mix from the Mungo's guys too, chock full of goodies from their Scotch Bonnet imprint.   ^ Photo credit: Mungo's Hi Fi ^ Read Spannered's interview with Disrupt

Since 2002, Mungo's Hi Fi Soundsystem have been showing big love for all things reggae, dub, ska and dancehall by releasing some seriously high-grade music — not to mention regularly shaking Glasgow's foundations with their lofty speaker stacks.   Following three outings on London's Dubhead label, the lads decided to set up their own imprint in 2005 — the wonderfully titled Scotch Bonnet Records. There's been a slew of 7"s and 10"s so far, all as hot as the label name suggests, with their unstoppable Belly Ska Riddim blazing its way across the UK, America, Germany and Poland. And there's no let up in pressure; next month sees their huge Mary Jane Riddim unleashed on a series of singles that feature vocals from Top Cat, Carl Meeks, Kenny Knots, Mikey Murka, Soom T and El Fata. There's also a Mungo's Hi Fi album on the way, due out on Scotch Bonnet in the not-to-distant future. In fact, they tell us they're sitting on so much new material that they don't know what to do with it all!   For those unable to catch Mungo's Hi Fi on their European travels in the coming months, they've kindly supplied Spannered with this killer studio mix, packed full of unreleased Scotch Bonnet goodness. As you can tell, they've been feeling the current dubstep flavours too — hold tight for releases later in the year!  

To celebrate the launch of Cylob's net label, Spannered is honoured to host a free download of the song Rock The Trojan Fader, taken from the first single out of Cylob Industries.   The track is a three-and-a-half minute contraction of the forthcoming album Trojan Fader Style, a continuous mix of around 35 tracks, partly based on Cylob's live performance at Bangface last December.   ^ Photo credit: Emma Jane Richards ^ Click here to read Spannered's interview with Cylob

It's taken a little while to deliver Spannered's second Oddcast, but then we've needed a few months to find something odd enough.

Fresh from remixing Thom Yorke and ripping up club nights in São Paulo, sushi fan and globe-trotting techno legend Surgeon has kindly put together this splendid mix for Spannered. It's 'trippy, mostly broken new stuff and a few old bits', he tells us. Well, after numerous rotations we can honestly say that it's deeper than the Mariana Trench and heavier than a swimming pool full of osmium. Enjoy.   Tracklisting: Ed Chamberlain — Trapese Go Hiyama — Unreleased Scion — Emerge (BMB remix2) Anstam — Aeto_b DJ Hell — Totmacher Add Noise — Handwerk Basic Channel — Enforcement (Mills mix) Inigo Kennedy — Aching To Get Beneath Kraddy — New World Empire (DiskChordians remix) Radial — Premium Oscar Mulero — Baskerbill's Dog (Regis remix) Blackham — The Crusade Warlock — TV controls your mind Ed Chamberlain — Resistant ScanOne — Trotter Surgeon — Floorshow 1.1 Makaton — 41_43 Inigo Kennedy — Kaleidoscope Jeff Mills —Humana Monolake — Alaska (Substance remix2) The DiskChordians — M-329 Class A Ed Chamberlain — Charley Go Hiyama — LisB Anstam — Aeto_a Ed Chamberlain — Does Ape Joey Beltram — Drome   ^ Listen to Surgeon's set from !emergency! in Bristol, October 2005

El Kano is the graphic design lynchpin of the Adverse Camber collective, a motley bunch of South London dwellers who, despite putting on events with scary names such as 'The Night of Awesome Power', will always take the time to make you a nice cup of tea (though you may have to nip down the shop to get biscuits). He used to be called Kano, but couldn't be bothered beefing with the numerous other Kanos laying claim to the name, so now he's El Kano, which is cooler anyway. His DJ mixes are consistently badass, and he's put this one together especially for Spannered.
