Plus Dr Lonnie Smith in full flow at the Rovinj Annual Jazz Festival - Lovely jubbly -

Squarepusher - Big Loada

Big Loada spans the whole Galmut of Squarepushers styles and has the killer track Full Rinse on it! Tom Jenkinson shows us the future of this genre. Your brain may either melt or explode. Hyperspeed drill 'n bass at its best in my (always right) opinion.


1.     A Journey to Reedham (7.am mix) – 6:35
2.     Full Rinse (featuring MC Twin Tub) – 2:23
3.     Massif (Stay Strong) – 6:26
4.     Come On My Selector – 3:24
5.     The Body Builder (Dressing Gown mix) – 3:02
6.     Tequila Fish – 6:09
7.     Jacques Mal Chance (Il N'a Pas De Chance) – 0:48

Luke Vibert - Amen Andrews Vs Spac Hand Luke

Blessed with more pseudonyms than the Jackal.

Vibert has mastered the fine balancing act between all-out aural assaults and nuanced production techniques - resulting in a style that evokes Soundmurderer, Remarc and Dillinja. On the other hand, Spac hand Luke is obviously the part of Luke Viberts musical brain that dishes out the skewered take on grime. Worth a listen folks.

Venetian Snares - Detrimentalist

Snares on a Jungle tip.

This is psycho-rave, twisted out to the furthest degree. Bass that makes your colon drop like you grew a new nut out your poo hole! Modern-classical orchestral arrangements violated with breakcore to noisy IDM sprinkled with clicks and cuts. Music to my ears...
