Welder - Vines and Stream

Welder is the moniker of Brendan Angelides [a.k.a. Eskmo] out of San Francisco, California, used as an outlet for his Downtempo / IDM projects.

About a month ago, Brendan passed me his debut 12 track downtempo album, Vines and Stream, and I've been rinsing the shit out of it ever since. It has quickly become a seasonal favorite, as the vibes surrounding it are so rich and uplifting, it's a warm welcomed soundtrack to the days of spring. Stand out tracks include the opener 'Rain', 'And We're Dying', 'Isle Of Skye' and the massive hypnotic roller, 'Purple and Orange'.

Strongly recommend this one if you're a fan of the genre.

Greyboy Allstars - What Happened To Television?

The Greyboy Allstars are back!

After a 10 year hiatus, the boys are back and reunited with founding member and co-producer, DJ Greyboy, to delvier their 3rd studio album, 'What Happened To Television?'

So those of you catching this post today [April 16th] you can stream the entire new album for free and preview the brand new funk that is available to purchase tomorrow [April 17th]

FUNK YEAH!

New Delhi FM

Over the last week I came across this brilliant artist New Delhi FM out of Cologne, Germany. Now I've always been a huge fan of German producers, with the likes of Phace, Kabuki, T.G.M., Misanthrop, Simon V and the brothers, Nphect and Diz:play, constantly polluting my airwaves since I got involved with dnb. [ when I say polluting, I mean it in a good way :) ]

So to come across this guy who creates some phenomenal abstract soundscapes that fall in line with some of the stunning German producers I am so fond of..I was hooked. He has 2 albums out, surprisingly available for free, 'Daylight Confusion', which i can't stop listening to atm, and 'Far From Yesterday' which, unfortunately, I haven't been able to get into because of the forementioned statement. :)

Anyways, strongly recommend checking the albums, you won't be disappointed.

El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead

El-P's new album 'I'll Sleep When You're Dead' is out and it's fucking brilliant. Total production innovation and signature lethal lyric delivery from the Def Jux trailblazer.

SCORCHING WHITE HOT. pick it up.

Implex - Dnbnation Mix Volume 3

Finally we have a promo mix goin on! Our previous mix schedule seemed to be doomed from the start, with the Nocturnal boys supposed to drop a mix for us for the relaunch, and that fell through due to studio access. >:( Then the Catacomb was suppose to come through with Womb To The Tomb Part 2, and that fell through unfourtunately. >:( (although it is coming, just not at time we first expected) SO, our good friend Cyril, aka Implex, stepped up and delivered a mix for us with some of the most upfront, cutting edge beats of the now. Starts off big and on the funk tip, blends into the tech realm, then ends things in fine fashion with some deep-end dubbed out beats. NJOI

TV On The Radio

TV On The Radio is a New York City avant-garde indie rock band formed in 2001, whose music spans genres as diverse as freeform jazz, a cappella, psychedelia and trip-hop. The core members are Tunde Adebimpe (vocals/loops), Kyp Malone (vocals/guitars/loops) and David Andrew Sitek (music/guitars/keys/loops) but when live they are accompanied by a full band and on their records they are joined by additional musicians such as Jateel Bunton (drums), Gerard Smith (bass) (Both of whom have become official members since 2006's Return To Cookie's Mountain) Katrina Ford of the band Celebration (vocals), Martin Perna (flute/bari/alto) and Nick Zinner (guitar) of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. David Bowie also sang backup vocals on the latest album Return to Cookie Mountain.

Another Daniel Cyanide recomendation.. Bought the album recently and it's been on repeat ever since. Brilliant work. Like nothing I've ever heard.. Very impressive. 'Wolf Like Me' is the first single and it's a bangin lick. Full of energy, passion, aggression and edge. Check the vids for proof! [One live on Letterman, the other is the official video to the single]

Quadrant - Faithless

My lunches @ work are spent with the ear phones on and music streaming. This track I'm writing about was the object of attention for the whole lunch break today, and any other time within the afternoon that i could inject sound.

If you've never heard it, IT IS ABSOLUTELY EPIC.

Quadrant produced one of the greatest bootlegs ever (imo) and it's unfourtunate but, it will never see a proper release due to copyrights. A sad deal, but understandable. However, it was so generously offered up for free, back in June of last year. The response was overwhelming and definetly appreciated. The boys really turned heads with this track and got a little more deserving notice. So much so, it literally reached around the world to a place of importance and life and death circumstances. Sgt. Chris Cole's inspiring story hits new depths with how this tune connected.

The vocals are from English group, Faithless, the song entitled 'Crazy English Summer' released in 2001, provides the heart and soul to this gem of a track.


"Fields of fire that passed the train
The sky is victorious but here comes the rain
Friday is taking me home again,
And I've nothing but you on my mind.

Grass is greener without the pain,
I think that I'm changing but I'm just the same
My sun is a ascending again
And I've nothing but you on my mind

Sometimes I feel like I'm glad to be free,
Sometimes I still want your arms around me
Sometimes I'm glad to have left you behind,
The Crazy English Summer has put you back on my mind.
Life's a riot a lover a friend,
Pity the day that it has to end
Friday come speed me home again,
I've nothing but you on my Mind.

Sometimes I feel like i'm fine on my own,
Fifty Thousand miles from home.
Sometimes I'm weak and the past is my guide,
Summer returns and puts you back on my mind"

With Dnbnation.com being down at the moment, I've uploaded the file to Sendspace as per request.

Quadra - Based On A True Story

Finally. The loooooooong awaited debut album by the Vancouver based duo Quadra, see's the light of day. Marc Soo and Matt Cox originally started out on the journey to explore the vast pallete of music and what became of an experiment led to a discovery that is finally being published for the world to see. " 'Based On A True Story' is a rich, ten page chronicle of yearning restraint and brutal elegance. Creating an ever changing atmosphere that closely matches the one outside [Vancouver, B.C., Canada], the songs on the album weave a gorgeously warm and melodic story, while it's dynamics are counterbalanced by the obsessive worship of low-end friction and understated detail."

I've had an advanced copy for a while now and i must say it is every bit of amazing as one could expect. Brilliant downtempo tracks with soothing strings and keys, add in some essential deep rolling basslines and the album is just a thing of beauty. Strongly recommended.


Dont forget to checks the CBC archive of their live preformance from November 2004. I was fortunate to catch it live while it was streaming and the beats just took off. Total journey off into the deep end.
