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.
Jenailution – Flying Lotus
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.
Tekstep – Digital Trash Talk [Exclusive]
2009 was the year the Ego landed, this year we get big headed. To kick off the exclusives for 2010 we have a mix here from Tekstep. Their own twist on Dubstep, from original remixes to exclusive tracks and their own crazy digital outlook on music. Its hard, techy, grungy and full of a disgusting amount of bass. If you love them and you love this mix then sign up to Ego Thieves using the sidebar.
Urban Nerds Retrospective – Newham Generals
So we are nearing the end of another decade. Which i find so crazy as it only feels like it was 1999 just the other day. Its been such an amazing, fantastic, horrible and crazy ten years i could ever imagine. Through out the year i will bringing you my Retrospective of what has molded my creative influences through out the decade. From Music, Gaming, Fashion, Film and everything else in between.
Circus Records Mix – Doctor P & Flux Pavilion
Yet again we bring you another World Exclusive! This time from the boys over at Circus Records. If you don’t who they are then shame on you. Doctor P & Flux Pavilion are the two brains behind it and decided to create a home to release some of their Dirty Dubstep tracks. Since then they have recruited some of the biggest up and coming names from the new generation of Dubstep including our very own Cookie Monsta, Funtcase, Amedeus and more. Next year see’s the highly anticipated EPs from Doctor Ps smash hit Sweetshop to Flux Pavilion releasing a fav track of mine Voscillate, which even features the man himself on vocals. Along with those and some banger EPs from Cookie Monsta, 2010 sees Circus place a huge stamp on the industry.
Flying Lotus – Ten Years A Decade
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.

Binary Bass #01 – Mixed By Jack Swift
Though its just gone boxing day the funs not over yet. We have another post Xmas present for you now..! This is the first mix in a brand new series called Binary Bass, which for all our regular followers you will know this mix as MDMA Sessions. I decided to change the brand/name of this mix because MDMA Sessions didn’t fit and was only suppose to be a one off. But as its popularity grew (it seems allot love the mash up style of mixing with an anything goes rule!) i thought its about time it gets its own home.
Deep Teknologi 4 [Exclusive]
Though its actually Xmas Eve, even though it couldn’t feel any further if it tried (and thats including the added snow!) i have yet another gift and another world exclusive. This time bought to you by the now huge Deep Teknologi camp and mixed by S.E.F. Lots of Deep, Experimental and Dub House to get your Xmas all pumped up and into a frenzy.
With exclusives from T.Williams, Ben Westbeech, MA1, Zander Hardy and more! This is a serious mix as always.
Dubflencial 8 – A Planet Explorer
Big ups to the masses emailing, tweeting, texting and even those rare few who have my number even ringing me to ask when the next Dubfluencial is coming out.
Well here is Dubfluencial 8[PE] – A Planet Explorer mixed by Jenai. This is a very special edition for a few reasons. Last one of the year, first one for nearly three months (has it been that long :S ?), lots of special bangers with some tasty exclusives and a special collaboration of artwork from myself, JC Adams (Ape Apparel) and David Kelly. The theme is based of course on our Ape Apparel clothing range which is soon to be transformed for next year into something special, like you have never seen before. So we sent our Ape Hunter out to explore the vast universe for something new, strange and out of this world.
DJ IQ – Christmas Lights [Exclusive]
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.
DJ Cable x Rock The Dub – Fuck Thugstep! Vol 1
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.
