一首When I Look At You相信讓不少人（包括我）認識了來自英國伯明罕的Dubstep Producer/DJ Emalkay，稱此曲為本年度的Dubstep國歌一點也不超過，而Emalkay剛完成了最新混音力作來自於Faithless的最新單曲Sun To Me，it's free！！！

Recorded live in Ireland a couple of weeks back, it's a big, brash unwaveringly banging selection of lysergic acid house, mind-melting techno and neo-electro that intensity-wise makes the Chemical Brothers sound like Robson & Jerome.

SMD is of course the duo of Jas Shaw and James Ford, the latter also producer for the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Klaxons. They recently released the album Temporary Pleasure, with guests including Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Jamie Lidell, Telepahte and Beth Ditto. [via Fact magazine]

Hyetal – Gold or Soul b/w Neon Speech上週Boomkat的Singles of the week。

Neon Speech
Reverberating into life with a thunderous sub kick and glistening percussion, Neon Speech is a strong testament to Hyetal’s incredible development in the last year as an artist to watch. Intricate melodies infused in to a system-shattering low end, it’s a beautiful future shock of a tune. Music at it’s finest, regardless of genre. An essential track and one that will never leave the
box.

Gold or Soul
Already well known to listeners of Mary Anne Hobbs, Gold Or Soul has a haunting, plaintive quality that is cast in that strange alchemy only Hyetal can conjure up – melodic, yet ruthlessly brutal on bassbins. You won’t feel the sub-bass snapping your ribcage in half because you’ll be too busy overloading your synapses with the beautiful synth patterns and pads. Anesthesia for the soul.

來自倫敦由Alex Green & Damon Kirkham也就是Instra:mental這兩人所主持的廠牌Nonplus Records，廠牌的第一張發行來自於年中Instra:mental與dBridge聯名的Wonder Where / No Future，其中Instra:mental的No Future交由Skream進行製作的混音版本也都只存在於他們圈中流傳，所有在Youtube上能找到的試聽大多都擷取自Skream的Mix Set中，這樣的惡夢終於將要在Nonplus Records的第四張發行Instra:mental / Skream - No Future (Skreamix)中破除了。

如果各位有追隨電台界的Queen Of England Mary Anne Hobbs就應該知道她在幾週前大力推崇來自曼徹斯特音樂廠牌Modern Love是在2010年該注意的廠牌之一，而在看著本週剛出爐的Boomkat新發行電子報的時候，恰巧Singles of the week的頭一位MILLIE & ANDREA就來自Modern Love，就在找尋試聽的同時看到了Modern Love在SoundCloud的網站裡有幾乎全部發行的完整試聽，當然也包括MILLIE & ANDREA的最新單曲Spectral Source / Ever Since You Came Down。

約一星期前曾Po過交由Dubstep製作人Joker替Riton & Primary 1新單曲Radiates製作混音的試聽，現已開放下載。

已訂於2010年1月18號發行回歸專輯Hidden的英倫酷型樂隊These New Puritans，而早這新專輯提早一個星期發行的七分鐘單曲We Want War也已開放預購10"版本，目前得知會收錄交由sbtrkt（dubstep、2 step）製作的混音版本，下面試聽擷取自於今早Mary Anne Hobbs的Experimental Show。

Release date: 2010

It will be available as a free download from New Young Pony Club website only on 14th December.

Breakage, an increasingly dominant presence in the UK's dance music underground.

Having quickly risen to notoriety in the drum 'n bass scene, Breakage is one of a number of d’n’b producers - along with the likes of Instra:mental, Kryptic Minds and ASC - who have taken influence from worlds outside of d’n’b to fashion a unique, rolling aesthetic all of his own.

In Breakage's case, dubstep is the key: following 2008's awe-inspiring single 'The Shroud'/'Clarendon', he's gone on to explore that sound deeper, while also collaborating with Skream, and MCs like Roots Manuva and, on new single 'Hard' - out December 7 - Newham Generals and David Rodigan.

His FACT mix should give you a taste of what to expect from Foundations, the London producer’s new album due early next year on Shy FX’s Digital Soundboy label, and the follow-up to 2006’s diverse double-disc set This Too Shall Pass. Tracklist overleaf. [via Fact Magazine]

在上星期六（11/21）Erol Alkan BBC Radio 6 Music的6 Mix節目裡率先將Late of the Pier訂於明年發行於他自家廠牌Phantasy發行的新單曲Blueberry作首播，好像也還造成了不小的迴響，雖然自己對於LOTP也是算喜愛，但比較起來另一個也同時出現在Erol Alkan節目裡的新團？Factory Floor才應該要多注意些才是吧，相信在2010年裡FF會有更多新發行面世。
