Krust remix competition

It´s time for yet another remix competition in the world of dnb. This time it´s the 97 classic Warhead by Dj Krust that is going to be dissected and put back to life by bedroom producers from all over the world. A difficult task indeed since the original is such a classic and it´s allready been given a proper remix treatment from established producers such as ram trilogy back in the day.

Shogun audio run tings!

Probably the most anticipated dnb album of 2011, Icicle´s under the ice is out today and even if a lot of the tunes on it is really familiar by now I can´t wait to really get in to it.  Icicle is also making an appearance in you guessed it...the lastest shogun audio podcast. Friction usually deliver the goods and episode 18 is no exception to the rule. Standout tracks for me are a fresh collaboration from Rockwell and Phace called No as well as Alix Perez remix of Icicle´s redemption (orginal version with sublime vocals in the courtesy of one Mr Robert Owens is on the album).

DJ Flight on Rinse Fm

It´s the time of the month for Flight´s show on Rinse Fm which is always a listening pleasure. Too bad all the Rinse shows are in such bad quality but it´s fully understandable since they make every single show dowloadable on their site. No tracklist avalible.

Sonorous Podcast Vol 1

Sonourus music is know for releasing soulfull and melodic dnb that still does the damage on the dancefloor. Of course there are plenty of other labels around that matches that description but in my opinion Sonourus is one of the best because of it´s high level of quality releases.  This is their first podcast hosted by Octane and Dlr who took the scene by storm last year with brilliant releases such as the hiphop infused smasher Back in the grind and Seven on Dispatch recordings. This is a bit harder and darker than you would expect from a label like Sonourus, but good music is always good music and this is just that. A big bonus is that even if they are chatting quite a lot over the beats ( wich can be a major disturbance) they do so in a very relaxed and entraining manner.

Instra:mental talks to Resident advisor

Since ivé been a huge fan of instra:mental since i heard their remix of Commix-Japanese electronics on myspace for the first time a few years back, this is like an early christmaspresent  for me. Their debut album Resolution 653 is out  now, haven´t  had time to really listen to it but as i´m quickly scanning thru the tracks it seems pretty clear that they are stepping away from dnb and going all out old-school electro/techno. Nevertheless, their "comeback" releases such as Photograph, No future, Futurist and Blush response (with D-bridge) to name a few are truly timeless pieces of music.

In this episode of the r.a exchange podcast the guys gives us the whole story!

Lookout weekend!

Outlook launch party tonight in Sthlm tonight. Here´s a mix Nymfo made for Kmag to listen to while waiting for the big party! Also if you want to go to the festival this year and don´t have enough savings you can win a free trip to  the festival and some other goodies by entering thier dj-competition.

Free dubsteptune from Skv18!

It´s selfpromoting time here on c.o.j. I don´t want to write too much about this since I´m involved with this project myself (one half actually) and I feel it would be biased. Ah, screw it! Listen and dowload, it´s an absolute masterpice!

Chris Inperspective´s giving a away some heavy tunage!

The headline pretty much says it all. This is proper "feel good" drum and bass . Heavy, deep and musical at the same time just as it should be done and a sad reminder of what this type of dnb used to sound like in it´s heyday. I would happily pay for a twelve- inch version of these tunes and that just proves that the difference between free and purchased music is getting smaller by the minute.

Morphy

One of my favourite producers at the moment is definitely Morphy everything he have touched the last year or so seem to have turned in to gold. I know this is not much, just a preview and all that but on the other hand..it´s just too good to be ignored. Forthcoming on Raiden´s Voodoo music.

If you´re not familiar with Morphys deep dubbed-out jungle you can dowload a bunch of his older tracks for free here!

Too cool for school

And now for something completley different here on c.o.j. This is by no means a fashionblog but I just had to post this colab between millionhands and houselabel  TSUBA. Buy this T-shirt and get a wicked 12" by Tazz limited to 500 copies.  Forward thinking marketing indeed. While we are on the subject of garments I must mention that they have some very good looking hot flush recordings t-shirts over at millionhands as well so check it out!

Dub Phizix Kmag guestmix

I used to love buying the latest issue of Knowledge magazine, come home from an afternoon of Friday shopping and reading it while doing my business in the toilet.  It´s a real shame the printed edition have ceased to exist. However, I am willing to forget the past and look forward as long as the Kmag website keeps providing top-a-top mixes like this one.  Keep your eyes open for new releases from Dub Phizix on labels like Ingredients, Exit and soul:r to name a few. He is truly a master of his craft.

New album by 2562

2009´s Unbalanced by 2562 is definitely one of my favourite dubstepalbums of all time. Haven´t heard the whole new album yet but it sounds very promising judging from the soundclips. Apparently he´s strictly been using samples from old discoalbums to make this album. Don´t know if this is true but information like that really caters to my curiosity. Sounds that has taken one step further down the path of experimentation and away from "traditional" dubstep wich is not necessarily a bad thing. You be the judge.

Sunshine in a bag!

I went to see James Blake last sunday and to be honest it was a bit dissapointing. Good thing I woke up next morning and tuned in to this wonderfull show on rinse fm. Dj Crises plays real dubstep music from the heart as well as some deep quality dnb (not in this episode). He is also quite an amusing character. If you´re an audiophile and allergic to chatting over the beats this is definitely not for you. As for the rest of you, enjoy! 

Sunshine in a bag Monday 4/4-11

Also I wanted to share this mix by Crises which is quite old but contains some "sure to be classic" material!
