Spannered Radio Podcast (all Items)

This set of new material, originally broadcast at the end of 2008 on Scanone's Ill FM show, The Lost Tapes, is evidence of some seriously productive studio time since Point B made his debut contribution to Spannered just over a year ago. Not content with honing his dark dubstep/electro sound, Rich Bultitude has also been fleshing out two other projects from opposing ends of the rhythmic spectrum: Planes and Xammatu.   And if you haven't already grabbed it, there's a free EP of Point B tracks awaiting you over at his site...   Tracklisting: Creepy Steeple Someone Else's Past Saw Dust Istocity Meter Day Tension Three Colour Vision No Smokes Figit Gymede Side Effects Minerals To Follow You

When a mix bags the accolade of Kid Kameleon's mixtape of the year, you know it's going to be shit-hot, basically. The Collaborator Mixtape is a unique and wonderfully fluid piece of work from Daniel Perlin, aka DJ N-RON, an artist, producer and sound designer based in New York. Originally released in January 2008, the selection is mostly original beats and tracks from Daniel, featuring a raft of 'collaborations', made with artists both wittingly (Matt Shadetek, DJ /rupture) and unwittingly (M.I.A., Lady Sovereign). DJ N-RON is currently on tour in Europe — check his MurdochSpace for a list of dates. If he's playing in a city near you, we recommend you go check the man out! Tracklisting: Suso’s Refix Cities into Worlds (featuring Vito Acconci) Cantakerous remix Wrong From Right (Featuring M.Sayyid) Rival Riddim Aboio 2.0 Pull It Up (with Mike O) Rich and Shameless (with DJ $mall ¢hange) Analys D’amour du Maga Bo (Capitalized remix) Possible Da

Clocking in at just over 45 minutes, this vinyl selection from Uberdog swims through various aquatic electronic styles before coming to a rather murky end in a dubwise trench. You can also check out his Blah Blah Mix from 2005 here, and his more recently recorded Oddcast for Spannered here.

In homage to the music he suckled on as a youth, badass beat junkie Bobby Corridor has put together this colossal hip hop megamix, shoeshorning an obscene 600+ tracks into 90 minutes.   In what he describes as 'a blip in the matrix', Mr Corridor has been nominated for best hip hop DJ in this year's DJ Awards. If you'd like to help Bobby on his way to sipping a mojito around the pool as Cox and Tong lord it about in their g-strings, head over there and give your support! Alternatively, you can make yourself a mojito and check out Bobby's wicked Reggae Source mixtape that he recorded for Spannered in 2007.   Everybody in the house say hell yeah!   Tracklisting (roughly speaking...): Boogie Down Productions – The Bridge Is Over Boogie Down Productions – P Is Free Ten Thieves – It Don’t Matter Quasimoto – Bad Character East Flatbush Project – Tried By Twelve Beatnuts – Sandwiches Levi 167 – Something Fresh to Swing T

'Mutating bass beats are infecting the planet!!!', writes DJ Flack of his sick new mix for Radio Spannered.   Antony Flackett, aka DJ Flack, is a DJ, producer and multimedia artist living in the Boston area. Together with Wayne 'Wayne and Wax' Marshall, Antony co-hosts the genre-mashing Beat Research parties in Cambridge, Massachusetts — a weekly colision of wobbly world flavours taking in dubstep, 2-step, bhangra, grime, jungle, bashment, hip hop and ragga. As a recording artist he has released music on Mashit, Bliss and Beat Research's own label project; he also performs alongside Mashit head honcho DJ C as DuoTone.   Here he blazes across continents with a 43-minute mix of his current bassline fixes. Take it away DJ Flack!   Tracklisting: Let Go Mi Shirt — Cotti (Brixton) Konichiwa Bitches — Robyn (Sweden) On My Way Home — Unkle Ho (Sydney) Sugarlips — Mad EP (Worcester, UK) Fear — DJ Q (Huddersfield, UK) Trust Nobody — SP

"...a throwback to the days of the old boom bap, when tracks just made you want to bang your head and break your neck", says Laurent Fintoni, aka Kper, of his current hip hop fixes: beatheads such as Flying Lotus and edIT in LA, Dabrye and Waajeed in Detroit, and Rustie and Hudson Mohawke in Scotland. Laurent has been interviewing some of the aforementioned artists for articles coming out in the August issue of Serie B magazine. This mix, featuring snippets of the interviews (taken from www.samurai.fm), showcases many of the crucial players in this globally evolving hip hop sound. More info on the mix can be found over at Laurent's blog.   Tracklisting: Dilla beats intro 2tall — Killa (unreleased) Dabrye — Truflle no Shuffle (Ghostly) Flying Lotus — wwwdot (July Heat) Heralds of Change — Sittin On the Side (All City) Piano Overlord — Track 3 (Money Studies) edIT — Laundry (Planet Mu) Dabrye ft Jay Dee and Phat Kat — Ga

DubConscious is the alter ego for Bristol-based DJ Merkazoid, a young selector currently pushing the laptop reggae sound in the southwest of England. A convert from hip hop to bone-rattling Bristol bass and future dub, Mr Merkazoid tells us he's been busily knocking out six-hour reggae, ska and dub sets about the city. Stuffed to the hilt with tracks from Spannered faves such as Disrupt and Mungo's Hi Fi, this selection is pretty damn smokin', we reckon. Irie!   Tracklisting: Daddy Freddy — Herb FI Bun Baroque Dub — Billie Jean version Mungos Hi Fi — Old Time Dance Mikey Murka & Disrupt — Secondhand Man Matisyahu — Jerusalem Ky Mani Marley — Warriors Jim Screachy — Super Cool Willie Williams — Run Dem a Run Nephtali — Watch the Ride Carl Meeks — Ganja Baby Thievery Corporation — Richest Man in Babylon Jahtari Riddim Force — Echantier DJ Spooky — Mr Brown remix Thiev

Hot on the heels of his mix for Spannered from October last year, Tim Rayner, aka Dub Boy, graces the site's radio section once more, this time dropping a wide range of original and contemporary roots, dub & dancehall, from both Jamaica and Europe — with plenty of Bristolian goodness sprinkled throughout.   Tracklisting: Beenie Man — Pardon (Taxi) Lady Saw — Married Man (Taxi) Mr Vegas — Lean Wid It(Taxi) Sugar Minott — Tune In (Taxi) Sugar Minott & Bounty Killer — Tune In (Taxi) Taurus & Jimmy Riley — Pull Up Selector (Taxi) Shabba Ranks — Respect (Shang) Barrington Levy — Murderer (Jah Life) Carlton Livingston — 100 lbs of Collie Weed (Jah Life) RSD — Murderah (Unreleased) Mungo's Hi Fi ft.

A warm welcome to James Elphick, aka Mys-Elf, art director and organiser of London's heady Guerilla Zoo events, and sonic conjurer behind the sixth instalment of Spannered's Oddcast series.   Entitled A Room With a View, Oddcast #6 slides, drifts, hops and chops between sublime electronica, infectious folk-rock, Latin rhythms, crackly cinematic samples and queasy instrumental hip hop; we've had it on heavy rotation since he sent it in to us (we particularly recommend it for long train journeys across the UK, accompanied by a four pack of Guinness). If you're feeling the boy's style, we recommend you head on over to his MurdochSpace page and check out his tunes too.   Guerrilla Zoo is a London-based art/music/performance collective, featuring a slew of cool bands, live artists and performance acts from around the capital. For more info on forthcoming events and other mischief they're getting up to, check the site here.   Tracklisting (*** denotes unknown trackname): Controller 7 — T

Japanese musician Quarta330, promoter of Tokyo's Lo-Bit Playground party, twisted plenty of heads on the dubstep scene last year with his immense 8-bit refix of Kode9's towering 9 Samurai track. He recently performed at Tokyo's Back To Chill night alongside other Japanese artists such as Goth Trad and T2R, armed with nothing more than two Game Boys, an interface and some effects pedals. Hosted both here and on Laurent Fintoni's blog, the set has a few jumpy levels and even a little technical down-time midway through; but don't let that put you off — along with the essential styles currently blasting out of the Jahtari camp, this really is some of the heaviest, most off-the-hook 8-bit music out there at the moment. No tracklisting.   ^ More recordings from Back To Chill's end of year party can be found here.

Since launching in 2004, Combat Recordings hasn't so much carved a niche in London’s bass music scene as hacked a gaping hole in it with a heffing great katana. Oscillating between brooding breakbeats, brutalist electro and rough-edged 2-step/dubstep flavours, label releases have been dropping thick and fast from respected bass technicians such as Ardisson, Blackmass Plastics, Point B, Scanone and, most recently, the mighty Scorn.   Featuring highlights from the Combat back catalogue alongside unreleased goodies (such as Threnody's dubplate-only remix of Unnatural Causes by Paradox — a track you'll never hear again in any other form), this mix was recorded late last year by label boss Stormfield. A shortened version of the mix recently featured on Rob Booth's excellent Electronic Explorations podcast series; the show has served up a ton of great guest mixes from the likes of Surgeon, Milanese and Neil Landstrumm — if you've not caught the series so far

Adverse Camber’s El Kano returns to Spannered with a malevolent mix up of metal, hardcore, grunge, distortion, throaty bellowing, deranged jabbering, hissing, clunking, and messy digital contortions — with a heap of megalomaniacal ranting from Superman's archfoe thrown in for good measure.   Brace yourself for an aural fisting!   Tracklisting: Tracks and extracts — speech by General Zod Khlyst — IV Knut — Karn Boys (Oren Ambarchi / Robin Fox / Antony Pateras Remix) Ministry — TV II Converge — Heartless Dillinger Escape Plan — When Acting As A Wave Eustachian — Teleporting Salesman Pig Destroyer — Lesser Animal Meshuggah — Exquisite Machinery of Torture Khanate — Torching Korovie Ennio Morricone — L’Uccello Con Le Piume Di Cristallo (Titoli) Shellac — The Crow Boris — Six, Three Times Drumcorps — Terrible Things Leviathan — What Fres

Jamaican producers may be pressing less and less vinyl but the island still churned out around two thousand 7" singles last year and these are our favourite rowdy ones. In the words of a Heatwave regular who got a sneak preview of the mix: "Who am I? The dancehall king" A look back at 2007 enables you to go from the filthy, nasty but undeniably inspirational sex talk of Beenie Man, Chamelion and 'Sweet' C to the sparse vocal angriness of that old Elephant bloke and then surrender to the leg-lifting power of the Matterhorn man. And you're just getting started. "Everybody start tek way yourself. Follow the riddim and tek way yourself" What jumps out when you listen to these tracks all together is the control each artist commands. You feel at their mercy, and they're merciless. Whether it's the riddims coming in that you know you know - but you don't know you know until you hear the drop, and then you're shaking your shit so hard you're not sure what you know any more - or the fierce

Last year we asked Rory Lemon, aka Randomoidz, if he'd be kind enough to put his boundless knowledge of ska music to good use and knock up a contribution to Spannered's Oddcast series. Not only did jump at the chance, but he opted for a two-pronged attack. Now we're pleased to unleash the first instalment: a properly spannered romp through choice cuts from his personal, erm, skarchive.   Rory did compile a tracklisting, but sadly it was scrawled on a piece of paper that was lost in the aftermath of a camembert fondue party. Hopefully he'll get a chance to write it all out again for us at some point (no mean feat, given the mix contains roughly a hundred tracks), but seeing as the sequel is almost upon us, we thought we'd best get part one out the door without further delay.   Expect appearances from the Skatalites, The Slackers, The Specials, Prince Buster, Hepcat, and even Rolf Harris. Keep it locked for part two!
