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.
Culprate has been a very busy bass engulfed bee over the pass few months. Having released his ‘5 Star EP‘ on Inspected records Xmas Day and also dopped his experimental ‘Colours’ album in October, he has no intentions of slowing down.
Here is the free track and VIP of ‘Finger’ which Inspected released to celebrate the new Facebook page they just launched. In order to download this in all its low frequency quality, click the button below and like the page.
Now I’m not one to get excited by very young producers. They are usually very arrogant, miss guided, demanding and very unwilling to take constructive criticism (watch out for my post on how to send tracks in the right way lol).
However, Marco Del Horno introduced us to a producer called Skanky at least six months or so ago, and we’re beyond hype that he did. Not only is Louis Johnson just 17, he is also from my home town of North London which gets him extra credits in my book. It’s pretty unheard of for such a young, up and coming producer, to have already established his own sound and persona. Sensual vibes, R&B chopping and skipping bass are firmly established on his producer CV.
You may of heard his track on Dubfluence 5 ‘Blind Spot‘, which is one of our personal favourites from last year. For us at Ego Thieves, we know a producer has a big future ahead of him when its hard to do say that ‘he sounds like’ this or that producer. If you try to do this with Skanky, it usually draws a blank or a vast mash up: A twinge of Jamie XX, a snippet of James Blake and maybe a shake of Roska and Diplo is all we could come up with.
For now, download this Vybz Kartel remix he did and gave away for free over Xmas. Also keep an eye out for the mix, interview and full feature on him real soon. Hit up his Facebook and Twitter to stay in the loop.
The mysterious figure of Dirg Gerner is still a faceless anomaly to most, but the HoTep Records signee has soulfully meandered a way into the hearts of those at ET HQ. Probably first noticed via a collaboration with London-based mastermind, fLako, on a track called ‘I Want You’ (which made Gilles Peterson’s ‘Brownswood Bubblers Five’), he’s recently thrown together a five track EP called ‘Preface’.
‘My Queen’ showcases the experimental and soulful twirps that are regular throughout the whole cut.
Brand new and hot off the press, ‘Echoes Of Silence‘ the third instalment from Indie R&B artist, ‘The Weeknd‘ is out now to download.
People have been waiting patiently for this and we hope it doesn’t disappoint, which for his fans we are pretty sure it won’t (sadly lots of reports coming in that this one might not have made the mark.. you decide). Big ups to the whole Indie label power movement going on.
Ego Thieves have finally had the privilege of working with the legendary UK Garage producer, Duncan Powell, bringing you our very first album ‘Franked’. Dedicated to the memory of Amy Winehouse and the modern day classic album, ‘Frank’.
Guided by the availability of the samples, he remixed the tracks into whatever style was naturally formed whilst working. Therefore a mixture of Garage, Dub, Down tempo, Hip Hop and D&B can all be found in the album.
With artwork from JC Adams & Jenai, we hope you enjoy this tribute to one of the greatest artists of our generation. We may sell a limited edition, high quality print of the artwork. If you are interested email us on info@egothieves.com
Soundcloud is amazing! When you login and you see free tracks given away from new pioneers in the Dubstep scene. Truth decided to bang this one out straight to his fans for a direct download. Big ups to Truth and the whole dam gang. Download this one here =]
Oh btw we have now installed the last piece to our puzzle and bring you Soundcloud direct as posts. Its been a good day at Ego Thieves HQ.
To celebrate the fact that Dream is currently embarking on his first Australian tour and also celebrate hitting 4k fans on our new & improved Facebook page, we have decided to give away the smash hit ‘Never Let You Go’.
This track has been rinsed by the likes of Roksonix, Benga, Mista Jam, Inspector Dubplate, Ego Thieves (of course!) and many more. Now here for you to download in glorious 320kbps absolutely free and exclusive right here.
You can grab Dreams debut ‘I Am Dream‘ EP on X147 Records now.
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.
Here is the exclusive Diplo remix for you to listen to and also download here for free. Big ups to Green Label, Star Slinger & Diplo of course.
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.
