This is an oldie but a goodie. Gramatik resides in Slovenia and he is definitely one of our favourite artists! Remember at the ET HQ, we’re all about good music, regardless of where it came from. So chill out to this 2008 release with your headphones on whilst you get on with your day.
Quartermaine Custom MUNNY
We were literally shocked when we saw pictures of this beast on Kid Robots Blog! Standing at 18 inches, Kalin Thompson applied acrylics using oil painting techniques – blending, layering and under painting to create this master piece. It took him just about 250 hours to complete and it shows when you look closer at the detail.
It recently went up on Ebay for $1000 AUS but was quickly bought by a Kid Robot fanatic! Hopefully one day we will have one of our own to show off!
Kalin Thompson also posted a time lapse video showing a small part of the process, you can view it here.
Aphex Twin – IZ US
It’s hard for us to define our taste in music, there are so many different genres and artists we love and Aphex Twin is definitely one of them. He is a pioneer of electronic music and always will be. The sounds we hear today in many different genre of music, is because of him.
He is a genius and it’s a sad day when anyone who loves music, has never heard his; which is the main reason for us posting this here! Also we think IZ US goes perfect with this video!
Niño – Buio Omega
Another day, another Donky Pitch banger sunk deep in our DJ folders. This is taken from the amazing debut EP ‘Clase de 1984′ from Niño. The whole EP is amazing, and watch out for tracks from Niño featured in some of our mixes real soon. Buy the EP here and remember to hit up Donky Pitch for the latest.
Low Bros – Graffiti Extreme
Here is a selection of Graffiti works by Low Bros. Now, this isn’t some trivial name, they actually are two brothers. Currently based in Hamburg and Berlin, their works are literally out of this world. Using mind blowing geometrical shapes, with even a more crazy concoction of characters, their style is like no other. If all graffiti was this amazing, people from cities around the world would have a much happier face on their trips to work. Like them on Facebook here <3
Duncan Powell x Ego Thieves – Franked Preview

Star Slinger – Dumbin x Diplo Remix
We love R&B, well only the good kind of course (no Minaj). The UK’s very own Star Slinger has released his debut single “Dumbin’ feat. Reggie B.” out now on Green Label Sound records.

Koan Sound – Funk Blaster EP
Koan Sound released an EP on Skrillex’s label, OWSLA, entitled ‘Funk Blaster’. Full of bumpy, wobbly, sub low and chatty bass, Koan never fail to bring the fire! This is our favourite track from the EP ‘Meanwhile, In The Future’, but don’t discount the other 100bpm bangers. Grab the EP here.
Koan also released a remix of Skrillex’s ‘Kill Everybody’ track that you can download here for free.

Blu – Doinnuthin
With production by the legend that is Flying Lotus, its no surprise this is one of the stand out tracks from Blu’s debut album, ‘NoYork’. Oh and there is also a sick video to accompany the track. Hit his Twitter up here. Download the album here.
Figgy – I Can’t Help
We have been big fans of Figgy ever since we discovered him on Soundcloud. So much so, his epic track ‘How You Feel’ was featured on Dubfluence 5. Now we can’t get enough, always keeping an eye out for a new release!
While we wait, we’ll be listening to a free track he posted on his Soundcloud, you should too! Watch out for more from Figgy right here, on Ego Thieves.
Stupidly excited for tomorrow. words cannot describe. @UKFLuke (talking about the epic night tomorrow, that is UKF Bass Culture).
