Fresh label and some fresh takes on the ever evolving dubstep scene.

Innasket – Static [audio]
Mighty fine darkness with huge rifting bass licks, amply backed up with rolling simply placed drumwork. Solid heavyweight killer. Only gripe I have is that it could develop and evolve more as a track, but in the mix shouldn’t be a problem.

Lewis Hunter – Cut from the wreckage [audio]
Sci-fi eeriness leads us into a big sub and sparse hihats. Sombre minimal and deep. The restrained beats and the sombre minimalistic approach of the supporting elements give this track a glitched sense of depth and space.

Yapsta – Zoompy Riddum [audio]
Skanking 2 step garage vibes with looping vox working. Bold bass means this is likely to be big on dancefloors.

Chas and Dave – Macked Out (It’s My Night To Fight Mix) [audio]
Big moody intro just itching to give up the broken beats, which when dropped do the wait justice. Grimey in texture with a King Crimson esque melodic kind of middle section. Makes sense to me at any rate.

Overall
4 unique and different tracks covering the large range that dubstep can cover make for a strong package. Get this.

Daito Manabe stimulates his facial muscles with small electric pulses, synced to music or he can do it the other way, flexing his facial muscles to create sound.

Found on the Today and Tomorrow website

I came across these ages back but lost the link so better late than never eh? Totally original way of dealing with derelict buildings and ruins. Some areas of London would benefit greatly from this, no doubt there are parts that have been done, anyways, I’ll shut up and let you look.

There were found on the Fun Tuna blog.

Deaf Center + Claudio Sinatti mixedmedia performance
NODE festival, Modena / June 2008

Although short, this is a lovely piece, both audibly and visually. Both elements working in harmony with each other that makes me quite jealous I wasn’t there in person.
