Later today sees one of London’s finest music platforms team up with Yeah, Maybe for some enviable late night hours of low-frequency festivities. The night, dedicated to house, bass and R&B sees each room delivering the utmost bliss with DJs such as Mumdance, Arp 101 and headliner Seiji (of Bugz In The Attic glamour) holding the fort.

Lovers of J Dilla’s boom-bap will instantly fall for this, ‘The Mission EP’ by London-based Eric Lau and Detroit’s Guilty Simpson. This vid sees Eric talking about the production of the EP and collaborating with the Michigan lyricist. It’s out February 3rd on Vinyl x Digital.
You can get more information from the Kilawatt label: http://bit.ly/9OPW6A
With Metronomy scoring one of the highest acclaimed albums of 2011, it’s only fair that there have been an onslaught of remixes, reworks, rejigs and similar re’s to boot. One of the best, which emerged just yesterday, comes from lovestepper Two Inch Punch who gives ‘The Look’ a sexy overlay with eargasmic consequences.
You can keep up to date with all of T.I.P’s musings via his Facebook page and don’t forget to check out his ‘Love You Up’ EP which is available via iTunes.
Sadly a bit behind posting this release as we forever play catch up with all the music we love. We are also no stranger to Ghost Mutt and Ego Thieves favourite label Donky Pitch.
Not only does Sweat Mode EP bring distorted R&B vocals in a world of Miami heat straight from the 80s, its also free to download. Ghost Mutt is a real talent and will be flying the flag this year for Electronica in the UK we are sure of it. More of him on his Facebook and Soundcloud.
Not sure how we even came about this one…was probably Asa just popping up on our Facebook stream lol. Love what he has done to the ‘Initiation’ track by The Weeknd. Hard drum loops for the dam win. Not for release, just a dance floor bootleg. Keep up to date with all things Asa on his page here.
We seriously can’t get enough of FaltyDL (as you can clearly see but all of the posts). Trying to fit this guy into a genre is near impossible, is it Garage? Dubstep? Experimental? We have no idea, but we do know we’ll be listening to him long into 2012!
The feature track from his album You Stand Uncertain, a review we read over at Factmag described the album perfectly.
“Drew Lustman’s second album as FaltyDL draws you in and swallows you whole, submerging you into a world full of emotions, hidden meanings, flashbacks to times gone by and possible futures”
We can’t wait to hear more!
Jason Chung (Nosaj being Jason backwards) was inspired at an early age by the hip-hop radio stations that the bus driver would play on his way to elementary school, and particularly by the Beat Junkies’ turntablism on Power 106. When growing up he began to get into drum’n’bass and the rave scene; this made him delve into working out how to produce his own music with his Dad’s computer.
Self-releasing his first EP “Views/Octopus” in 2006 and releasing his debut LP,” Drift”, on Alpha Pup Records on June 9, 2009, he’s been making waves in the music scene ever since!
This mix consists of tunes from Drift, it really does show what Nosaj Thing’s music has to offer!
Check out his website here.
The reeking twosome that is Stinkahbell, have gone and released this hallucinogen of a visual for their latest single ‘Switch Up The Gears’. The anticipated, low end grumble, is in tow as well as a hype-inciting a couple of verses from Janset.
Also on it’s way is a 3D version of the video which is expected some time next week.
Check out more of Stinkahbell’s music on their SoundCloud.
“Characterised by a pop-infused, fresh and precisely clean production style, Kito’s music has received support globally from a number of leading DJs and producers. Having had her first completed tracks picked up by none other than Dubstep pioneer and figurehead, Skream, and released on his label Disfugured Dubz, Kito hit the ground running.
Since her first release in 2009, Australian born Maaike Lebbing has gone from strength to strength.”
We took this from her Last FM profile, usually something we don’t do but we couldn’t say this better ourselves.
Kito is definitely an artist we feel deserves regular features, so keep an eye out.
Also buy all of her music from here.
Our second post on TOKiMONSTA and definitley one of our favourite tunes. She manages to create such a unique sound without trying too hard and it sounds amazing; this is the perfect tune to chill to when your got lots of work to do! Also another artist from Brainfeeder, do they have any bad artists on their label? We don’t think so!
TOKiMONSTA will certainly keep being featured on Ego Thieves with more tunes like this one and I’m sure we’ll see a lot more from her this year.
Buy her album “Creature Dreams” from here and the “Cosmic Intoxication EP” from here.
This week in our second artist profile (click here for our first), we’ll be looking at Tim Tsui from Hong Kong.
One of the finest pioneers in Urban Vinyl Art, he is one of the greatest figure artists and illustrator from Hong Kong. Tsui’s groundbreaking style has earned him worldwide praise, including the unique application of gemstones in his designs (which you can see by the third image).
We love his style and we’re anxious to add his amazing work to our collection.
Like him on Facebook for updates on his work!
This tune hasn’t been posted anywhere, Soundcloud, Youtube…It’s no where to be found!
We finally stumbled on a video of Gaslamp Killer and Nosedrip, with this tune over it and thought we’d post it!
This is another banger from Mono/poly’s album, Manifestations. There isn’t a bad tune on it, he’s amazingly talented; we’re sure Brainfeeder feel lucky to have him on their label!
Buy Manifestations from here and make sure you check Mono/Poly’s website out!
