Stimming

Currently one of my personal favorites, (Martin) Stimming of Hamburg, Germany has long since advanced into the A-League of batteries to the German techno machine. His intelligent and refreshingly different approach has caught the attention of many ears over the past couple of years, not only since his hugely successful Resident Advisor Mix of 2007. And he's been a busy man this year - his latest album "Reflections" hit the stores and was very well received by critics in and around the net. A masterpiece in my eyes, beautifully atmospheric and original, definitely worth a buy.
Take the time to listen to his tracks as a whole, each one is an awesome surprise in itself.


Stimming - Funkworm


Stimming - Una Pena


Stimming - The Beauty


Stimming - The Kiss


Stimming - The Kiss (Sasha Funke Remix)


Stimming - Song For Isabelle


Stimming - After Eight


Stimming - The Anger

5 Years of Hyperdub

Hyperdub, the label started by Kode9, will be 5 years old this October. Hyperdub's first release was Burial's South London Boroughs EP, and since then Kode9's continually been picking and choosing artists that are "both on the fore and the fringes of the dubstep scene" - exposing and re-exposing phenomenal artists like Burial, The Bug, Samiyam, Zomby (who will be in NYC on Sat nite with Animal Collective), Cooly G, Quarta 330, Ikonika, King Midas Sound, Flying Lotus and Joker.

To celebrate, they're releasing '5 Years of Low End Contagion,' a double CD containing unreleased tracks one one CD and highlights from the previous 5 years on the other. Or if you're the vinyl type, the previously unreleased tunes will be issued on vinyl EPs in special sleeves once a week (starting Aug 31st) until the October release of the CDs and digital tracks. You can preorder everything over at BLEEP.

When the CDs hit, the unreleased CD will contain all the tracks released on vinyl as well as a few more previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Kode9, Flying Lotus, Martyn, Joker, Zomby, Mala and others.


At this point if you're not already planning on snapping up this mega-comp, then peep this tracklist for the 5 vinyl EPs:

This looks to be one of the best compilations I've ever seen - I highly recommend getting on top of this because production is probably limited and it will definitely sell out. DON'T SLEEP!
