Monokrak's latest podcast

We've written more than enough about the genius of Monokrak in the past, so you ought to know what to expect - minimal, deep, twisted techno. This month's podcast was composed by the excellent Floating Mind and is very deserving of your time.

Elastic Dreams - A Saggitariun

Today's free listening is on a dark and minimal techno tip. Elastic Dreams mixes it up for Teshcast.

Dauwd - And (Free download)

Ahead of his forthcoming EP for Ghostly International, Dauwd gives away this melancholic slice of electronica.

Free Ghostpoet download

In his own words... Free to download after 1000 reposts.
‘MSI ‪MUSMID ’ pronounced " ‪M S I" " ‪MUS" "MID" "is a track based on a dream I had where dimsum and noodles were life-long friends who kept squabbling all the time...I try in vain to make sense of it all.”

Sun Electric - O'Locco (Sei A Remix)

I currently have something of a fan-stiffy for Apollo Records, R&S' ambient sublabel, following their re-emergence as a major player last year, and Sei A's delicate rework of Sun Electric is perfect music for the early spring we're (apparently) getting. Fresh, cold and delicate, with fingers of light peaking through.

Download - Nickel Remix of the XX

Like pretty much everything else they've done, it's been nigh-impossible to avoid the XX's most recent single Chained, but I've got admit this remix from Nickel's actually pretty enjoyable, shooting the floaty pop-melodies through with a solid techno beat, and aiming for the dancefloors. Free tuneage right here.

Moduloktopus- Formless video

Formless - Moduloktopus from Michael Gold on Vimeo.
I rather like this video that Moduloktopus have pinged us, because eh, Bruce Lee's philosophies + half decent breaks = good to me.

Here it is on soundcloud.

Jack Dixon - 1 EP (free download)

Techno/ house producer Jack Dixon has a wealth of releases under his belt, via a number of hi-quality record labels - we dig free music and we dig his work, so check this 3-track EP out. Combining spectral atmospherics and wonky percussion, it's an enjoyably diverse set of tracks.
Get it here.

Mong Sunday Drones

A few pieces of brain-stretched beauty to indulge on the Sabbath. Thanks to Warren Ellis or the recommendations. And for no particular reason - Orange Fucking Goblin.

Warlock - Pocket Dancing

Shallowrave likes Warlock. The head of Rag and Bone is, at heart, an old school rave DJ who, when booked for a party the night before Halloween, was confused as to why the hell everyone was so heavily costumed. Hadn't got a clue, but he still tore it up. Good times.
Now he makes some juke / rave type stuff. Nice.

GraceJones - Williams Blood (aeroplane remix) free download

The original super diva Grace Jones headlines Love Box in Victoria Park this weekend, and courtesy of the organisers, here's a free remix of her 2009 single Williams Blood by Italo / cosmic producer Aeroplane. Done.

Robert Hood - Minus (Combo re-edit)

I had this track years ago, lost it, and then found that if I just google it, the guy's soundcloud comes up, with a 320 bitrate and everything. Lovely free music.

Free downloads from Space Dimension Controller

This Northern Ireland based producer has been listed on quite a few 'best of 2011' charts after his debut full length The Pathway to Tiraquon6. He's currently giving away a few free tracks through his Soundcloud, they're a bit rough and ready, and presumably unmastered, but are well worth checking out.

Special School - Wilbur & Orville (free download)

Special School - The Album

Brighton's finest, MC Elemental, busts out another album of completely ludicrious steampunk/ fantasy / pulp crime inflected hip-hop backed up with solid beats and a totally screwy sense of humour, this time teaming up with Jon Clark and DJ Maxwell under the Special Schools moniker. Its.... well, hard to properly describe. Essentially, if you think that any one narrative is instantly and constantly improved by the gratuitous addition of zombies, monkeys, insanely humongous giant mecha, doomsday devices, crumpets, jam, cigars, aliens, mustache wax, pseudo-history and references to really awful 80s action movies, this will probably keep you entertained for a good while.

You can buy the album for a mere £5 over at Elemental's homepage, or for those a little uncertain what they're getting into (who they? - Ed), you can download Wilbur and Orville from This Link to give you a taste of what to expect.

FREE Mungo's Hi-Fi v Soom T v DJ Zinc download

Our favourite reggae soundsystem meets our favourite female MC nicking bits from our favourite drum'n'bass tune? This is JUST NOT ON.

Here's some words from the people themselves:

"The original Roll it vocal by Soom T on the riddim track by Mungo's Hi Fi. Check the Disrupt version on Jahtari's massive 'Ode to a Carrot' LP . Large up DJ Zinc for the Super Sharp Shooter track - big tune.

We never got around to releasing it, so we thought we'd share it."

Have at em:

Profisee - Logan's Run EP (Phuturelabs)

Profisee - Logan's Run EP (Phuturelabs)

Oh hells yes, Phuturelabs, by far one of the finest blogs / netlabels around drops this cheeky slice of awesome from the unstoppable force that is Profisee. Featuring intellectual, spiritual flows backed by production from Poirer, Scharkz, Process Rebel and S-Type, this is five tracks of seriously high-quality hip-hop. Despite his popularity with dubstep acts like Akira Kiteshi, DFRNT and Starkey, there's a breadth of production styles that offer something for everyone, from grime to dancehall, via dubstep and crunk, showcasing Profisee's refusal to be pigeonholed by any genre.

As with other collabs, such as Dam Mantle's Magical, Profisee tends not to spit in recognisable 16s, circling back on rhymes, returning to refrains and losing himself in a whirlwind of repetition and reference. Despite this abstract, loose style, Prof still delivers powerful messages of self-belief, enlightenment and spirituality, referencing archaic mythology, apocalyptic imagery and pure kitchen sink realism. It's seriously good work from one of Scotland's finest MCs, with a collective of producers that ticks all the right boxes.

Texture - Idoru's Ghost Mix

Texture's got a new mix up on his "T3XTUR3" Soundcloud - a mix of witch house/drag and some interesting downbeat stuff. It's nice and scary.



"Recorded at the abandoned weaponlabs facility, six months after 'the event'...
All degradation in sound quality is due to EMP-damaged hard drives - please adjust bass manually. For captain fauxhammer, admiral j. tacolexa and the ghosts of Whitechapel."
