Artist of the Day: RAMADANMAN



Ramadanman will be in Boston in 2 days! Bassic booked him at Good Life down in da Chinatownz, and it couldn't be better timing. Not only is it FINALLY a weekend night show for some excellent dubstep, but Good Life has just recently renovated their space. I can't wait to see the new layout - I'm sure it will be magical.

Ramadanman comes from North London, and has just finished up university in Leeds. After seeing Mala (of Digital Mystikz fame) at London's #1 Dubstep night FWD>> (at Plastic People) in April 2006, he whipped up a few tracks, got them mastered at Transition and released them himself online.

Since then a slew of labels have smartly released his always proper tunes, including legendary SoulJazz, Tempa, Fabric, 2ndDrop, BareDubs, ApplePips and his own label started in 2007 with college buddies Pangaea & BenUFO, Hessle Audio.


Here's a vid from his April 2009 release of Humber (Apple Pips #5):




Here's some promo mixes that you should snag as well. Chock full of amazing tunes - most of them unreleased - these mixes will definitely stand the test of time.

Sigha

Sigha (pronounced "S-eye-ah") of Hotflush Recordings has been releasing some pretty cool tracks this year. He describes his productions as having a heavy bass sound, which is true, but the overall feel of his tracks is very mellow and spacey. I guess in that sense he's kind of like Burial. The tempo and beats are technically danceable, but you can just as well space out to work or whatever while you're listening to it.
Sigha also throws his own "Medium" party at the Plastic People club in north-east London. And when he isn't playing or producing music, Sigha is standing behind the counters of London's famous BM Soho record store, where I'm sure you'll be able to find some of his own music too. You will also find it here.
