brainfeeder is taking over as far as i’m concerned. securing their territories in europe, it’s only a matter of time until they enter a war with the likes of warp. artists in the fam include: dr. strangeloop, flyamsam, flying lotus, lorn, matthewdavid, mono/poly, ques, ras_g, samiyam, teebs, and the gas lamp killer. samiyam and glk recently brought mixes to bbc’s mary anne hobbs.

bullion - in the key of dee
this guy has been getting a lot of attention, and rightfully so. bullion is some mad scientist who really has an ear for this psuedo-mashup wonder showzen. basically, this is the cold heat right here. !DL!

juan maclean - the future will never come
juan maclean lost all street cred with this album. what used to be bass heavy funk and smooth synths turned into chromeo featuring teagan and sarah. seriously. i used ‘a me gusta, juan. pero no. no mas. while this may be listenable for some i make this post…to make a point. whatever.
ok, i guess i can get down with this, maybe. but, i won’t like it.

i just like the old stuff better. like, track two. that’s all. fuck, all riled up.

clark - growls ep
ok, so clark mixed it up a bit on this one with the knife-esque vocals. deep tones in the chorus followed by static rain, and patented teeth grinding synth maneuvers. delicious. also shown here is a throw back from throttle furniture.

prefuse73 - everything she touched turned ampexian

people who haven’t heard of prefuse before might confuse this stuff to be air.

i’m just glad he’s kicking the dope. and if he picks up a couple air heads thats ok. i guess.

anyway, much improvement from the last album.
