Goldie’s recent Rufige Kru material has been surprisingly serviceable, despite some dodgy cover art and even dodgier titles (Malice In Wonderland is second only to Saturnz Return in the weak pun.

The last time i recorded a drum & bass set it was on a cassette tape over 10 years ago. In 2012 i was finally able to return to my original love, dive into my old vinyl, and play some jungle: b2b with eats everything at bestival, b2b with totally enormous extinct dinosaurs at secret garden party, and as a guest of bachelors of science at their monthly at monarch in sf. For those of you who were not able to catch one of these rare pilgrimages back to my roots, i have recorded a special set just for you featuring a handful of my all time favorite records.
Happy new year and i hope you enjoy! With the harsh winter months hitting us hard, it's time to gather round by the fire (or space heater) with some music that can warm the soul. Fortunately for us, Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet has made some of his rather excellent unreleased material from 1997-2001 available as a free download. You can certainly hear his early influences which helped hone his now signature blend of folk music stylings fused with crisp downtempo beats. Listen & grab the free download of Four Tet's unreleased album below: Special Thanks: Four Tet, Tycho live at The Troubadour being even better the second time around, The San Francisco 49ers back in the NFC Championship, new beginnings and sushi burritos. Is an artist who assumes several roles in order to create his work; he acts as a historical transcriber, and a visual raconteur. As a transcriber, he records his experiences in calligraphic and palimpsestic code.
Serving as a collection of textually chronicled memories, the markings appear on backdrops that resemble the distressed surfaces he encounters – the cosmetic results of passed time – city walls marred from layers of paint, old posters, and years of neglect. As a storyteller, presents a leitmotif of an enigmatic narrative, reaching to translate moments that only a visual dialogue can convey. Now this is a treat!

It's been a few years since Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Hubert have released a new Tosca album after the critically-acclaimed 'No Hassle' on their seminal Vienna label, G-Stone Recordings. Now the downtempo duo is back and have made their first single, 'What If' available as a free download to get fans properly excited. The new sounds are just as you might expect.plenty of lush, downtempo orchestration but enough fresh, smoked out bass to keep it from being strictly sleepy time material. Tosca will also be releasing a very special 2-disc edition of 'Odeon' that features the entire album performed live in Vienna as well! Grab the FREE DOWNLOAD of 'What If'. Despite a lot of back and forth this week over whether or not iconic electronic music producers, Daft Punk will be embarking on a tour in 2013.we aren't fooled by the smoke and mirrors and firmly believe they will be hitting the road - at least for a handful of appearences.
When you consider that they will definitely have a new album out this year, you can be certain the band will want to announce their comeback in a big way. While Coachella is the usual hot-tipped choice for the USA, (which would make sense for the cultural impact of the new album), don't count out a full-blown tour towards the end of the year. These guys only do things big and this image says it all.
(06.03.07) Goldie is back with an album after a decade, and this fact alone should be some relevant news. Other details worth of notice are that he releases it on his own Metalheadz imprint (so, not a major for the first time ever), he chose Heist, almost a newcomer, as sound engineer, he is under his Rufige Kru alias and it’s more hardcore than what you may think. Gone away are all the vocals, the VIP featurings, the orchestras with all those strings, to say it in a word all the ‘cheesy’ stuff has been canceled, leaving a disc that is pure jungle from the beginning to the end. “Vanilla” starts darkly with creepy hoovers and samples from old Metalheadz classics, “Shutting You Down” rolls with crisp drums and minimal synthetic vibes, with the bass seriously throbbing menacing pulses.
The whole record seems to be recorded with bare minimum equipment and raw sounds, and this return to the old school definitely pays off. “Beez” for example is just a skeleton of breaks with a bunch of bleeps and buzzing synths (hence the title), with a style akin to the formula that kept alive the fame of the ‘Headz label through the years.
After all, Goldie’s label is still heralded as one of the last consistent imprints within a scene that is getting more and more stale, so in the end it’s surely the better place whence to take inspiration. Back to the music, “Grouper” is another essential junglist anthem with rattling drums and warm, dirty bass sweeping all over the frequency range, “Special Request” is unbelievably gloomy with its pitched down vocals over a production that represents all that’s good about jungle. Malice In Wonderland doesn’t come without flaws though, even they’re a minor issue: tracks like “Digital Warrior,” “Must Feel” and “Scar” are a bit too repetitive and not much catchy, they probably fit during a DJ set but on the CD version they’re kinda filler material. Anyway, by the time you hear “Pest Control,” you’ll instantly forgive any weakness found on this record, because it’s one of the most emotional d’n’b tunes ever made. In an interview, Loefah said he found most of the recent drum’n’bass material ‘soulless’ and then turned to slower rhythms and hence began to produce what would become dubstep, a genre that happens to have overshadowed d’n’b in most media for the last couple of years.
Well, with “Pest Control” the term ‘soulless’ is totally out of place, the whole tune is a dramatic crescendo of epic intensity that should appeal even to those who don’t usually follow the fast beats of jungle. Actually, the end of the album is itself an epic journey with two other tracks, “Letting Go VIP” and “Malice In Wonderland,” so beautiful you should really buy the disc only to hear them. To all this goodness, add a striking artwork and a booklet that is a huge foldout, with dark comics clearly based on Alice, a thing quite unusual for this genre and a juicy bonus for those who care. Everybody welcome back Goldie, it’s quite incredible how he managed to put out a record so adherent to its roots, considering all the success and media exposure he got in the past. Malice In Wonderland is out now on Metalheadz.
