Introducing Spiral Arm - Like, Things, and That.

2010-06-01T16:23:00.000-07:00

I've started contributing to Spiral Arm. A new blog about, like, culture and shit. It's a collaborative project between myself and some like minded persons. Fret not, the podcast shall continue. I will strive to produce episodes at an equally irregular rate as I have been. This is not a goodbye, its a ''Hey have you met so-and-so, he works in...''. An introduction is what this is. I introduce to you. Spiral Arm and, I hope you to get along.

No One Will Play With Me ▀▀ Mixtape

No One Will Play With Me is the latest in a continuing series of mixtapes for Man Bites Blog exploring the synergy between various incarnations of modern music. The result is an experimental soundclash that melts synth heavy hiphop with bone-crushing metal, fuses dubstep with disco, and meshes the mainstream with the avant-garde. Listen as vintage electronic pioneers share the bill with tomorrows beat alchemists. Mischievously they screw and chop Lady Gaga, pitch-shift Ludacris, and reloop Chris DeBurgh to fashion a gothic disco soundtrack. And still no one will play with me.

The Enigma of Conrad Murray ▀▀ Mixtape

Download link

The Enigma of Conrad Murray is a kaleidoscopic collage of dark liquid disco, chopped-and-screwed, and psychedelia featuring Coil, Ludacris, and Cabaret Voltaire. This exclusive mixtape continues Nicolai's series of audio collages for Man Bites Blog. Distorted rhythms, bit-crushed beats, and droned-out samples combine to make this the most intriguing piece in the series so far.

The 13th episode sees the usual array of the unusual. Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake mainlined via that fifties jukebox sound, Amy Winehouse gets a Moody Boyz molestation, and The Prodigy's Voodoo People gets a jazzfunk makeover. Electronics, Shoegaze, vintage outsider folk all make it onto the playlist. This episode is dirtier than the Cameron, Clegg, and Brown, 3 politicians 1 cup video. It's voodoo-hoodoo and that's what you don't say to people!

This time around you can expect to be lulled into an artificial state of delirium as the podcast takes things nice-n-slow. It's like the syrup on the pancake of sound. The music drags, courtesy of OOOOO, Mt. Kimbie and Balam Acab. Look out for Miles Davis serenading Wacko Jacko from the grave. Skirmish is rewriting the dubstep rulebook as we speak. His dark dark take on the genre is a highlight. The blueberry's to continue previous metaphor. Last but not least the music of Man Bites Blog favorite foreign correspondent Th'Mole burrows his way into the tracklist. You better check out Ep:12 you bumbaclart.

Beat3 Productions Vs. Beastie Boys

2010-03-25T18:48:00.000-07:00

I'm not so much into the Beastie Boys these days, but when I was a lad they totally rubbed me the right way. I actually heard one of their new songs that halfway renewed my faith in them:

But what really gets my juices flowing is this futurey remix of the old Paul's Boutique track "Looking Down The Barrel Of A Gun" courtesy of Beat3 Productions. They were kind enough to send us a high quality MP3 and permission to make it downloadable. So here you go!

Beat3 Productions "Gonna Getcha"

You can also stream a whole album's worth of very cool Beat3 tracks on their Soundcloud page.

Amon Tobin and Doubleclick bring this 25 Minute Mix as Two Fingers. Hip Hop multiplied by bass to the power of glitch seems to be the formula here. Work it out for yourselves and download it.

Who is this guy? Wow, this is Fret-Wanking! The likes of which haven't been witnessed since Eddie Van Halen developed a taste for energy drinks.

I shall counter-act this act of musical self-flagellation by way of cultural juxtaposition.

Here's the mix I promised on the previous Podcast by Tehran. Mine's A Mujito is a devishly funky mix that if it were a drink would be one of those sickly fruity Um Bongo's. For a much more succint write up check the Bass Music blog. I'm off to watch that wackjob's related videos on Youtube.

Its all about hip hop. Thugged-out crunked-up boom bap from some of hip hops most progressive artists like Busdriver, Dj Quik & Kurupt. Beats will be big, you have my word on that. Rhymes will be tight, and production will be ill. So kick back and nod your f*cking head! BUT this being MBBP there's a few oddities thrown into the mix, just in case you thought it weren't gonna be eclectic. Download it here.

DJ Quik & Kurupt - 9x's Outta 10

2009-07-23T15:30:00.000-07:00

Prepare to listen to a slice of hip hop newness - Its fresh for real nigguh! (Can I write that black, is that allowed?) 1st single off the new DJ Quik & Kurupt record BlaQKout sounds NEW, real new. Who knew? How new... I mean how can it sound so new? Well, it captures that ellusive elixr of the here an now. Like listening to A Millie for the first time. Or when Timbaland had Timberlakes ear. 9x's Outta 10 stripped down truncated stomp of a beat is akin to Grindin, even Korupts flow resonates in that same Clipse vein. Dam I'm liking this. The cut up vocal teasing throughout, simple and lush! This is the best hip hop track I've heard in a long time. Just decided. I'm the first to put my hands up and say that I'm no Hip Hop geek. My knowledge is fleeting, I know these guys have been around, but does any of their other stuff sound like this? I need to get the album BlaQKout pronto.

Loops Haunt Promo Mix

2009-07-03T05:34:00.000-07:00

Crank up the speakers Glasgee style and bang out this mix from Loops Haunt. He's from the Lucky me stable, that brought us such wonderful thoroughbreads as Hudson Mohawke and Rustie. If like me you were just starting to get a wee bit tired of this glitched up hip hop, this could change your mind. Where as some of the stuff I've heard has got a little wonky, Loops Haunt seems to take things down a more techno route. Beats are millitant and crushing - it's a syncopated assualt to be reckoned with.

Blaqstarr - We Make It Good Mixtape

2009-02-25T09:15:00.000-08:00

I completely slept on the last few We Make It Good mixtapes. Check them out over at the Fader/WMIG site. On a sidenote, is it just me or is the name We Make It Good a little ot close to Mad Decent? Just doesnt fly with me, but who gives a shhh when the music is consistently this tight. These are solid mixtapes form musicians that need to be heard. Fader as a magazine runs in direct competition with XLR8R in the States. And they rule the high seas when it comes to their podcast/mixtape output. But WMIG rival them in quality if not in quantity. Its a real shame WMIG arent hosting them through iTunes. Yo Fader crew get up on that!

The latest mix is by Volume 07 is by Crookers... Not my cup of chai. But Volume 06 is by Baltimores finest rapper imo Blaqstarr. It's dope, but not what you'd expect from him. Which makes it even more sick. Download it here.

Blaqstarr - We Make It good Vol.mp3

While on a Blaqstarr tip. As a local to Baltimore, he'd contributed tracks to The Wire in the past. It was only a matter of time untill he did his own take on the Tom Waits theme tune. Well worth a wacth. Ive yet to see the 5th season, is this like the actual theme tune?

Afrikan Boy - Superstar

2009-02-24T16:03:00.000-08:00

From Burgaboy to Afrikan Boy of MIA collaboration fame and that big big song Lidl. If you aint heard it yet, you have to, Have I not posted it? Anyway, Afrikan Boy's about to release the mixtape pictured above above, and Superstar is a cut taken from it. Tune!! This self-reflexive opus once again demonstrates Afrikan Boy's sense of humor, its actually all about the hype off the back of the Lidl tune. Whoever produced it is on the pulse, I guess allot of doors have opened up for him so it wouldn't suprise me if its diplo or some shit.
