Mashit label founder DJ C has been knocking out consistently excellent mixes for the last three or four years and they usually contain a mashup of different genres such as grime, jungle, crunk, dancehall, ragga and any other genre designed to get your ass moving. Luckily for us, DJ C puts them up for download [...]
Continuing the Mantua series, this is an artist not to miss. He played on the bill at the Electric Fix with us about a year back in Dublin. Playing with some fancy gadgetry and and a mixer, the result was a seamless spate of classy tech/electro belters. In a word, it was bangin. Ikeaboy [...]
The original song “OK” from Glasgow’s Shitdisco is adequate Klaxons-esque, supposed “New Rave” fare but the Fantastic Mr. Fox remix is more my kind of thing. It’s a grimier, dirtier version of the song which adds MCing to the track takes a turn towards a more danceable second half when the original’s fuzzy bass riff [...]
In anticipation for the forthcoming new Buck 65 album - Situation out on September 18th, Here’s something I missed completely. Almost a year ago, Buck offered a mixtape called Strong Arm for download on his site. Well in October of 2006, he offered another free download, this time an EP entitled Dirty Work.
It’s five [...]
Everyone’s favourite “world music” politi-pop star is giving away a free MP3 download of his new single “Rainin’ in Paradize” from his Official Site.

I wasn’t a big fan of Explosions in the Sky’s latest All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone but I’ve been listening to 2005’s The Rescue EP over the weekend and it’s excellent. Best of all, it’s free to download! The recording process was somewhat different to how the band usually do things as they [...]
Excellent vid for Herv’s ‘lost me’ by the dude(ttes) at Polygon Farmer
Here’s one that’s been sitting on my jiggawhat for quite a while now, and probably lying around a lot longer according to it’s creator, Herv. This Dublin-based laptop wizard has been knocking about for a few years now, churning out an impressive number [...]
It seems Def Jux is a little jealous of Stones Throw Records collaborations with animated panic-spreading geniuses Adult Swim so they decided to get on the free mixtape action too. It’s called Definitive Swim and features tracks from Def Jukies Aesop Rock, Cage, Mr. Lif, Rob Sonic, El-P amongst others. You can download the [...]
