High Rankin – marketing genius?
In a bid to extract money from our wallets, High Rankin will send you a hand written fortune, embedded inside of a custom Suicide Dub cigarette, as well as the audio for “This Is Suicide Dub Volume 1″ on CD and instant WAV download. All for only £6.39, whatever the hell that is in the dollar conversion. The only point of contact or purchase I could find was their email address.
Sepalcure – Love Pressure EP
Sepalcure is a Brooklyn-based duo composed of Travis Stewart (aka Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (founder of PercussionLab) and their “Love Pressure” EP being released via Hot Flush is destined to be one of the biggest releases of the summer.
Theoretic Records 005 – J.me.J
“I Can Fly” is a big, synthy tune laced with glitches and wobbles, blurring the lines between dubstep and modern glitch. “Under Construction” is a little faster in pace and sounds like what would happen if one of those construction Transformers decided to battle someone on the dancefloor. Squelches and glitched out synths whiz by in stereo as the tune moves along. Both tunes are solid releases from J.me.J and I am excited to see what is produced next.
Build003 – Cosmin TRG & Baobinga; Ginz & Baobinga
Build Recordings‘ third release is a big one. Both songs are collaborations with label boss Baobinga, and each tune is completely different, drawing influences from across the dubstep/funky/garage/grime spectrums of sound. The release is already seeing support by Sinden, Jackmaster, Redlight, Mungo’s Hi Fi, Modeselektor, Mista Jam and Mary Anne Hobbs.
Ginz and Baobinga align forces on the first tune, yielding a funky, purple joint called “The Good Stank”. The synthy melodies have a strong Joker influence to them, which is no surprise considering how closely Ginz and Joker have worked together.
On the flip is a steppy, housey tune with some funky vocal edits, the product of Baobinga and Cosmin TRG. “I Get Ruff” is 128 beats per minue of hypeness, garage throwbacks and raw energy that move the tune along while an arpeggiating synth snakes through the rhythms.
To promote the release, Baobinga and TRG have recorded a minimix, getting 10 minutes a pop to show their stuff. Download the mix and make sure you cop the release!
