We would be lying if we knew who ’5kinandbone5′ was, or even how we came about this track in our inbox. We would also be lying if we said we knew ‘UTTU Records’ are. But what we do know is if they keep pumping out tracks like these, we think they are going to do big things this year. Hit their Facebook up and check the label releases.
Oh and even more randomly lol we have just seen on the brand new tumblr hommies of ours, ‘Mthrfnkr‘, they have just hooked up a mix. Go get it!
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.
There’s only a few hours left in 2011, what better way to spend them than listen to Lapalux’s addition to the Lovebox Jukebox collection. This mix is one of the most chilled this year with tracks from Lapalux himself, Four Tet, Mount Kimbie, Aphex Twin and many more.
No doubt we’ll be listening to this mix long into 2012, right now it’s the perfect mix to see 2011 off!
Check Lapalux’s website here and keep an eye out for more posts featured on this amazing artist.
Relight has killed it this year! With too many bangers to even have time to mention… but here is a remix of one of those bangers ‘Get Out My Head’ by Ego Thieves favourite, Joker. Just having released his debut (some might say long overdue) album, this is the kind of Joker we love to hear. Hard sub wobbles, melodic synths and someone who knows a chord when he plays one.
Due for release January 22nd 2012, on MTA Records, it’s going to be another good year we can feel it.
We know a lot of you have never heard of TOKiMONSTA and it’s a damn shame (at least we’re letting you know though right?!). Being classically trained in Piano, she has come to understand how to use live instruments, percussion and digital manipulation, creating a very unique sound difficult to find any where else!
‘Cigarette Lust’ is on an LP called ‘Proximity One: Narrative of a City’ and is definitely one of our favourites from TOKiMONSTA.
Buy all of her albums from here. She also produced Mileena’s Theme in Mortal Kombat 9, which is a good sign. We hope to see more artists like TOKi getting featured in game OST’s.
Machinedrum have a very unique sound, in our opinion this is one of the best tracks this year: so unique and diverse, we can’t wait to hear more.
This track ‘GBYE’ is from their album, Room(S). The whole album is full of different sounds, it really is a joy to listen to. We’ll be keeping an eye out for any future releases from Machinedrum, make sure you are too…Easily done by coming back to Egothieves.com!
Some tracks get pretty abused at the Ego Thieves HQ and this is one of them. Sibian & Faun release their debut EP ‘I’m Sorry’ on the ever evolving label, Numbers. Huge two step bumpy vibes, classic R&B sampling and lots of digital goodness, this was always going to go down well for us.
Out now to buy direct from the Numbers store. Also visit Sibian & Faun website here.
A clip taken from Scratcha DVA Rinse FM show (you can stream full show here, well worth checking out) of the new Burial track from the Kindred EP we posted about earlier. The track is entitled ‘Ashtray Wasp’.
Other tracks entitled on the EP are “Kindred”,“Loner”, and “Wasp Ashtray”. Very happy to see 2012 start with such a bang.
We love Mount Kimbie…We love James Blake…A remix of Mount Kimbie’s ‘Maybes’ by James Blake = Win. Seriously though, these are two amazing artists, everything they release is amazing and here at Egothieves, we are all about spreading good music! If we can get even 1 person to buy an EP from Mount Kimbie, we have accomplished our goal!
You will definitely, 100% see more of Mount Kimbie and James Black on Ego Thieves. If you want to listen to the orignal of Maybes, go here!
We have supported and loved Submerse. His eclectic range of production is amazing, especially his deeper stuff (his ‘Belong’ track on Dubfluence 5 is amazing). Here is another of his unsigned tracks ‘Always, Like This’ and it just hits the soul perfectly on a lazy pre X-Factor final Sunday. He also mentioned he is moving to Japan very soon, which hopefully means when we hit there next year we have a good and competent guide lol.
Since we launched the new site, we have been playing catch up on a few things we loved, but didn’t have the chance to post beforehand. Here is another one for the backlog.
Culprate, who most of you him for his pretty hard hitting wobbles, released an experimental album a few months back called ‘Colours’. Though it may not be to everyones tastes, that doesn’t phase us. No time for a full review right now, but here is our favourite track ‘Black’. Its such a good album and we love to support producers who aren’t afraid to step outside of their comfort zone. Buy the album here.
Having already released three critically acclaimed albums over in Australia it is with great excitement that PNAU announce the release of their new single ‘Unite Us’ on Ministry of Sound on 5th February 2012. This is the remix by UK Garage legend ‘Wookie‘.
