I wasn't too impressed with the rest of the EP except for teh first and last tracks: 01. Know The End (prod. Raoul Sinier) 07. Perfucktion (prod. The Closing) Worth a listen.

Parasite - 21st Century Smokers Dubz [105MB - running time: 76 minutes] "This mix is a collection of more bass heavy music from the DSWAT shop and a few gems from my hardive. It was originally mixed for some good friends of mine in Brighton, but I thought I'd share it with you too! You can view the tracklist and more DJ mixes here"
In the 1990s, Two Russian-born, US-based conceptual artists calling themselves Komar and Melamid created what they intend to be the world's most unlikeable song. The 22-minute opus is assembled from a palette of elements determined (through a poll) to be the least desirable aspects of songs, and includes things like an operatic soprano rapping about cowboys over a tuba-backed bassline and bagpipe breaks, a children's choir singing inane holiday ditties and advertising Wal-Mart, and someone shouts political slogans over elevator music. It is, in its own way, awesome. [via null device]
Gutta's Doppelmix "How good is this? Restores your faith in human nature it does sir.... I offloaded a box of old vinyl onto Gutta as part of the extensive Doppelbase relocation project. It's good - I don't mind... a little bit of culturo-material detriutus floatin' away... a bit of the past relinquished..... positively Buddhist it felt.... it's ok.. And then, like something dredged up from the Jungian collective conscious, a bare two days later, Gutta pops up with a bit of mp3 mixery-wizardry and there it all is: history resurrected shiny and new. Three cheers to you Gutta sir!"

WolframTones "WolframTones is based on a core discovery of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science: that in the computational universe even extremely simple rules or programs can give behavior of great complexity. Wolfram first found evidence of this surprising fact in his experiments in the early 1980s on systems known as one-dimensional cellular automata (now often called Wolfram automata). WolframTones is based on these very same types of systems." [via g3rmy]
Drumcorps on Tom Ravenscroft's Channel 4 Music radio show. SHOW 6 Have we got a heavy show for you! This week’s session come from the fantastic mentalist Drumcorps who’s real name is Aaron Spectre.

At 23 he left the States to set up home in Berlin and at 24 he turned into Drumcorps.

Bring That Bleep Back Seeing that we're already in that time period, it's time to honor a small, yet noteworthy subset of early techno, namely Bleep. Centered around the Yorkshire towns of Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford in the UK, it briefly made it's name during '89 - '91, before the ravey piano anthems and hardcore breakbeats took the spotlight. We all know that Robots Love Bleeps (or anything Bleep-related for that matter), so it should surprise no one that this particular electronic dance music sub-genre deserves a post of its own. Here's not one, but two mixes of Yorkshire Bleeps and Bass courtesy of Sheffield Bleep, an internet radio station broadcasting the very best electronic, dance & experimental music, non-stop, 24/7 - tune into their SHOUTcast stream here. Mix 1 mainly focuses on Bleep put out by Network Records while mix 2 consists of early WARP releases. Tracklistings and places to buy after the jump. Now you'll never accuse me of causing you bleep deprivation.

Well, here they are. Rainydayz Remixes "While the Oakland producer/DJ acknowledges that he probably should have contacted Radiohead (who were not involved in the project) to seek approval prior to making his interpretations publically available, an agreement has been reached between all involved parties and Amplive has been granted permission to release Rainydayz Remixes for free to the general public. Effective immediately, the eight-track record is available here." [thanks 606]

Catch the show at 9pm from http://www.sound-unsound-network.com/forum.php Vex'd will be on March's cast now because he's got too many gigs this month.
The Goatlab Radio Podcasts have now been syndicated by Resonance FM, so you can now hear us blasting across the London airwaves (at strange random times). Exciting!
Benn Jordan (aka the Flasbulb) has been popping up all over the net recently as he takes his ongoing argument with Apple about iTunes royalties to it's logically conclusion. He’s giving his album away rather than let them charge for it and not give him a cut (he does own the rights himself). His analysis here gives a detailed breakdown of the income from the album from various sources, and he continues to torrent the album if you’d like it. I admit I’ve always found his music a little too derivative but why not download it and judge for yourself. He can also be an annoying forum troll at times. I think really he should have had a career in PR but if he can survive making music then good luck to him.
I'm still offline at the moment so I haven't been able to listen to everything this week and can't report file sizes for all of it. Anyway, here’s al the interesting links I've come across. It's Planet Mu heavy this week.

Anexium says: "just before chrismas i finished up the gierrofo ep - presents. it's a free download from www.anexium.com/gierrofo. It's 4 tracks, about 20 minutes and 25mb. closest reference point to what it sounds like would probably be something like pan sonic. perhaps. i'd happily welcome some feedback about it."

DJ Lumpy's Penis Song (title not known)
I was feeling ill for this one so it's a bit more downbeat this month. Sorry to Chris Cook (Hot Roddy) who I couldn't remember what other artist name he went by, as his Same Actor work eluded me temporarily.)
WoBcast Unplugged - The return of the West of Bastard podcasts with DJ Lumpy, Andrewherring and Juxtaposeur. Worth the download for The Bony King of Nowhere from Bagpuss, Maypole (the oldest song in the English language, as heard in the Wicker Man soundtrack) and Destroying Something Beautiful's beautifully fragile acoustic version of Word Up.
CERN Poscast Thanks to Bristle for pointing this out in the comments to the previous post. A chat-show style podcast of people visiting the CERN Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, including the likes of Dean of Guildford Cathedral the Very Reverend Victor Stock, comedians Kevin Eldon and Simon Munnery, and Torchwood / Shark Attack 3: Megalodon star John Barrowman. I think this is about as internet as it gets. Even the greatest of the surrealists never dreamt of shit like this.
If you're interested in what's going on with Addict Records (as I mentioned in the Goatlab radio show) have a listen to Meatsock's interviews with Dan Doormouse [70MB MP3] and Billy Stunt Rock [51MB MP] he recorded for the whus.org show.
NL35 - X&Trick - Planes, Trains and Highways X&Trick on top form presenting his unique blend of Drum ‘n’ Bass, Industrial, Hardcore and Breakcore with plenty of fantastically obscure noises, thick bass and dischordant synths. Introduced by a collaborative track with Chevron, “Brighton”, each track on the release is recorded in a different location around the world and named accordingly. Dark, hard hitting and at times definitely summarising the euro/belgium scene, the release is also quite diverse, with the more melodic starting track through to “Dubai”, which is reminiscent of an Evol Intent / Current Value style dark drum and bass, and then completed by the pounding techno of “Gent”
NL36 - Mully - Dalston 2066 A collection of delicate pieces constrasting Mully’s previously heard style of work, each track an amalgamation of flowing melody, micro-beats, and ambience. Many of the tracks have a warm, contemplative feel, though also with a melancholy vibe throughout. “Icelandia” and “Beach” are definite first listen favorites, with tracks like “She Will Lose” that take a few more listens to really appreciate.
The last Skip to the End of 2007. Skip to the End of the Year with Hoonboy ("240bpm is the new 200") [webpage with tracklsiting at link to 114MB MP3] Pete says "We had loads of technical problems, so the sound quality on the chat is a bit poor, but the tunes are wicked." Indeed they are. And if two Gusset remixes aren't enough to temp you, there's some William Shatner in there!
If you missed Light up Bristol on College Green before Christmas (as I did, being two busy with works Christmas parties and two gigs) there's some video on YouTube and an interview with Nico (Anti VJ) here.
Clam Combat says: "the new Combat site is now up!

DECK3R points out that Grind Thieves has changed a little and is now his blog. Conincedentally, this week I've been listening to the Detroit Schizophrenia sets he recorded last month. The Davros vs Unibomber Final Amiga 500 Battle is esentially listening for old-school breackcore fans. (That's the second time in the last couple of weeks I've typed 'old-school breackcore'. Funny how it evolves.)
Forest of Spades Strings Of Consciousness Leafcutter Remake "I just finished a remix (actually turned into more of a remake) for Philippe Petit who is the man behind the French Bip-Hop label The band is 'Strings Of Consciousness' and the track is called 'Forest of Spades' which is very appropriate. I thought I'd put the track up for you as firstly i'm very pleased with it and secondly it is the only track that i've ever used my own Forester software on. Oh and thirdly this is the first track i've made for about a year and a half! My treatment uses only source material from the origional but takes it on a fair journey away from the SOC version. I added twin e-bow guitar harmonies, percussion and even vocals. Enjoy. The remake will appear in May 2008 with several other remixes of Strings Of Consciousness on the Belgian label OFF Visit Strings Of Consciousness Myspace Take care, Leafcutter John x."

Skip to the End - Show 4 with Juxtaposeur and Special Guest SP-SEPR [126MB MP3] Juxtaposeur says, "My guest SP-SEPR is a Bristol graffiti artist who did our Eclectic Kettle posters, but has become one of the more prolific street artists in central Bristol. Anyone who is familiar with the Stokes Croft area in particular will have seen his work. He's just about to have some pieces displayed along with a host of other artists at the 12 Days of Xmas gallery exhibition at the old Nelson Street Police Station in Broadmeads.
"On the show we talk about his artwork, the wider issues of street art and his music - he's been in several Bristol based bands and had plenty of stuff released. I enjoy talking about graffiti so the show is pretty long, but I hope you find the time to give it a listen. At least skip to our chat (about 60mins in) if you can't bear the thought of listening to my selection of tunes of Nerdcore etc."

Suzanna Ciani on 3-2-1 Contact [youtube] Who? "a pioneer in electronic music and one of the few women to blaze a trail in the genre. She received classical music training at Wellesley College and obtained her M.A. in music in 1970 at University of California, Berkeley where she met and was influenced by the idiosyncratic synthesizer designer Don Buchla. ... Ciani provided the sound effects for Meco's disco version of the Star Wars soundtrack ... In 1982 she began to record albums in the New Age genre, characterized by a mix of electronic and traditional instruments ... She considers herself to be a classical music composer and her more recent albums have emphasized the piano." [wikipedia] So there you go.

Did you listen to metal in your teens? Have you stopped listening to it now? Do you only occasionally revisit those once loved albums of teenage angst? Would you love to hear that stuff again but with a new ironic twist? Then this mix is for you: Fexomat_Live_at_Refest6_2007 [53MB MP3] It's the best hour of metal I've heard since I saw Slayer live. It piles Pantera, Sepultura, Iron Maiden et al into a hideous MC Hammer, Bristney Spears and 2unlimted hating mash. You owe it to yourself to listen to this.
Mary Anne Hobbs seems to think the sun shines out of Burial's ass. She says his material, "sounds like it was made on a different planet" What, one where putting shit loads of reverb on some repetitive beats is considered the height of musical achievement? I mean, it's pleasant, but not revolutionary. I bought the first album and I've played it a handful of times. Sounds like coffee table music to me. Burial is to dubstep what Roni Size was to drum and bass. I suspect we'll be laughing at this in another 10 years. Make up your own mind: Burial album preview mixed by kode9 [26MB MP3]
The recent "what is breakcore?" discussion on Hijack led to Breakwhore and Parasite linking piles of mixes. I think almost all of them have been posted here before, worth checking to see if you have them.
Old dubstep* I've just come across: Kode 9 - Mix for Sonar Festival [webapge with link to 88MB MP3 and tracklisting] * As far as I can tell, any dubtep that isn't only on a dub plate is considered old these days.
