To promote his new 4 track mini album of minimal techno, Kieran Hebden aka Four Tet has produced a special 30 minute mix of similarly minimal groooooves. Grab it here. It may have 12 tracks on it but the first track ‘Ringer’ lasts for near 10 minutes. Greedy Hebden. This is definitely one (excuse the [...]
A small present for you all while we enjoy the summer sun, pretend we’re from mainland Europe, get a farmer tan, slack off work, drink in the sunshine and get grumpy with each other. I’ve collated these tunes according to one rule - if they screamed ‘SUMMER’ they were in. A Nice and eclectic 48 [...]

I’m dumbfounded how good these mixes are. Brooklyn’s The Rub have compiled 21 volumes of hip-hop, one for each year from 1979 to 1999. It serves as an in-depth aural history of the genre. I’ve already heard about 4 tunes from 1992 I’d heard before, loved and [...]
I’ve had this mixtape from Noble Society -Live from the Frontline for ages but I only got around to mentioning it in State this month. It was released in August last year but it’s so good, it’s worth a tardy mention here.
Noble Society are from Brooklyn and blend the products of their various musical [...]

With thanks to the mighty Darragh (and his brother of course). I wanted to make this gig but couldn’t. At least I can catch it now.

So, I had to sideline the Memphis Series for a bit due to circumstances. You know the scene: work, work, work. Anyway, here’s something to get back into it with.
Pimp C was born in Texas and died last year from an overdose of Promethazine and Codeine (a mix known as [...]
I’ve been getting excited about this as it will be the first time I catch a live Boxcutter set.
Stasis Collective present Boxcutter in 4 Dame Lane on the 22nd of February. The set will consist of a live 3-Piece Band (Drummer / synths / sampler / guitar) booming on a €6,000 rig. Boxcutter, known [...]
Last week, I was talking about my general disappointment in Dubstep in 2007. Readers left insightful comments to counteract the argument but the fact remains that I wasn’t that excited much last year.
Maybe these things turn out to cyclical however. During the week I received a tip-off concerning Benga’s latest Breezeblock for Mary Ann [...]
