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
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.
This mix is full of what I see in websites like us and Ninja. Core Hip Hop sounds with an Abstract, Experimental and Electronica twist all wrapped up in vibes upon vibes. Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Hudson Mohawke and more. Check inside the post for the tracklist and I hope you all enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this first installment from the modern day genius that is Flying Lotus. A mix between his older more Hip Hop influenced sounds, to his current experimental Electronica that is as hard to explain as it is to produce. My fav collection from him bar none. His older Hip Hop stuff is just amazing! Allot of people wont of heard allot of these I’m sure.
I can’t get enough of Flying Lotus, seriously. Since Dilla have i not been so clung to instrumentals. Well he recently posted up this free mix for you all to download marking his achievement of making music for ten years now. This mix is simply called Decade and is mixed by Gaslamp Killer. I downloaded this myself yest and already listened to it well over 10 times. For all my experimental and Hip Hop heads this is an absolute must.
Make sure you all grab Flying Lotus album Cosmogramma out April 20th on Warp Records.

An Exclusive mix from my boy DJ IQ for this festive season, Christmas Lights. Its all the cuts that didn’t make the final version of Flashing Lights CD you can nab here or watch the ad for it which we posted a few weeks back. Its well worth the purchase just like this mix is well worth the download! Don’t expect any jingling bells or Ho Ho Ho’s, but do expect some Hudson Mohawke, Ludacris, Starky and much more. A perfect blend of Electronica, Hip Hop and abstract beats you will love but won’t be able to categorize which is exactly why this is our official Christmas present to you all.
Ego Thieves teamed up with our boy DJ Cable (click for his other mixes) and Rock The Dub to bring you something new and forever controversial. Thugstep is real, its here to stay and it can Fuck Right Off! With Dubstep/Grime/Hip Hop hybrid exclusives from the likes of Boy Better Know, Tempa T, Inja, Skinny Man, Dem Franchise Boyz and exclusive DJ Nappy refixes this is another must download. Dare to try something different. If you like your bass hard and your lyrics gully then look no further. Next year I’m sure there will be some more hybrid tunes to hit the scene, whether you love it or hate it there’s nothing you can do to escape it. This isn’t about Dubstep, its about getting nasty in the club.
Its been a crazy first week of relaunch. Just a quick note to all who downloaded and signed up, big ups to all of you and trust we appreciate your support. Ive had allot of emails an contacts asking for a few reups of older mixes and broken links. This was all due to the Ministry Of Sound madness that happened but now we have reupped all the back catalog. So no more MediaFire (for now lol), you can download them all direct and fast using our private server. We know theres still a few outstanding but we will get them up as soon as possible. Any problems leave a comment will sort it =]
We are on Guest Mix 004 already! And we have no intention of slowing down trust me. Things have been a tiny bit slow on the site for the past few weeks. This is due to lots going on behind the scenes as well as the return of our very own supreme super producing Semothy Jones. But like i said we will not be stopped and no intention of slowing down!
A bit late on this one and only really posting up for all my Kid Cudi fans in case you missed it. Dat Kid From Cleveland is a brand new mixtape from DJ E-V and Datnewcudi.com full of lots of exclusives and unreleased goodies. Well worth a listen if your a fan, and if your not have a listen anyway you might just see what all the hype is about. His debut album ‘Man On The Moon’ is only round the corner I’m told…!
Now i nearly forgot to post this up! Its been a mad busy week with us here at Thieves headquarters and next week should bring some nice updates for you and the month of June to come. In the mean time, this is classic Cool Kids. Sharp lyrics, low flows and lots of hard kicks and simple snares. Im a fan it must be said, event if its now not quite cool to be? Ironic huh. At least it isnt Charles Hamilton bless him….
