Millie & Andrea - Drop The Vowels『full album preview』

Mar 31, 2014




Millie & Andrea are Miles Whittaker and Andy Stott, fellow labelmates at Modern Love who collaborated on an occasional series of 12” releases between 2008 and 2010. It’s been four years since we last heard from them but they now return with “Drop The Vowels”, their debut album. Produced fast and loose through late 2013 / early 2014, it’s an album that recalls the strict and stripped funk of Anthony Shakir as much as it does Leila’s incredible debut ‘Like Weather’, eschewing the dark aesthetic both producers are best known for in favour of something much more visceral. It’s an album borne from a love of both pop and club music, made to evoke an adrenalised, hedonistic, as well as an emotional response.

Opener GIF RIFF brings to life a Gamelan edit stripped bare before the over-compressed ‘Stay Ugly’ breaks out with a tumbling, broken arrangement situated somewhere between Richard D James and Jai Paul. “Temper Tantrum” and “Spectral Source” follow, versions of tracks originally released on the second and third Daphne EP’s respectively, the former a rugged rave anthem tempered by blue strings, the latter a proper dancefloor destroyer recalling Shake’s mighty ‘Madmen’. ‘Corrosive’ flits between a fillibrating, arpeggiated steppers rhythm and a brutal jungle breakdown, while ‘Drop The Vowels’ further explores and strips bare bass & drums before the slow but jacking warehouse killer “Back Down” provides pure percussive abandon. Quay ends the set with something quieter, a sublime coda made entirely from field recordings. [via Modern Love]

Mumdance - Music To... Make You Hardcore『Mixset』

Mar 25, 2014




"Hardcore was my first proper musical love, my mates older brother lent me a Hectic Records / Fusion tape pack when I was about 12 & literally as soon as I heard it I was hooked. Doing this mix for i-D was a lot of fun as it gave me a chance to re visit and spend some time with my old record collection. I decided not to go for the most refined “headz” selection, but instead opt for the ones which brought me the happiest memories. Ive erred towards the 1993 - 1994 ‘proto' era when Hardcore was starting to split up into what would become Jungle on the one side and the other side of things Happy Hardcore. " via Mumdance

Juke Mix by Addison Groove




布里斯托Dubstep製作Headhunter會在09年開啟另一化名Addison Groove的來由眾所皆知是因為Chicago Juke,當時(2010年)從Juke取經而來的首張大作Footcrab/Dumbsh*t(由DMZ創始大佬Loefah開啟的新廠牌Swamp 81發行)也造就UK Bass這樣的音樂名詞出現。Presents James Grieve是以Addison Groove這名字所發行的第二張專輯(距離同樣由50 Weapons發行的首張專輯Transistor Rhythm時間剛好兩年),這次交出的作品較上一張來得更加完整的Juke/Footwork風味,不過現下英國玩法則是多與90'初期的Jungle/Breakbeat做結合所以較多曲子的速度來到84BPM。如果有興趣Footwork/Juke這樣有別於美式而多些英倫Jungle的風格,不彷找找Om Unit/Fracture/Stray以及這次在專輯中合作兩首的Sam Binga(事實上那兩首Rzor/11th來自於去年中兩人合作也同樣交由50 Weapons發行的BS3 EP內,Raor在專輯的版本則是多了MC部分)這些Producers近期的作品。

扯了一些,但主要還是下方Addison Groove錄製給紐約背包品牌Lexdray的最新Mixtape,收錄有他新專輯內幾首單曲結合了Teklife陣容裡的DJ Rashad和DJ Earl,法國Footwork/Jungle要角Moresounds,挪威奧斯陸的Slick Shoota以及英國同鄉的DJ Die和Om Unit.....的Juke Mix。
