One of the finest Record Store Day releases right here, in our humble opinion. FlyLo’s Alt Takes reads through like a rudimentary sketchbook of the excellent Cosmogramma album. Considering that album is bursting out the seams with ideas, then this stripped down affair is also quite a delight – perfect, zoned-in vibes. A fantastic release for [...]
Warp rolls out a new track from Flying Lotus in anticipation of his new EP Pattern+Grid World. Guess what? It’s totally bananas and it’s $17 and limited to 2000 at bleep.com. Don’t let this one slip through your fingers.

In case you couldn’t scrounge up the funds for that pre-order we posted about awhile back, we thought we would let you know that the first two installments of the Hyperdub 5th anniversary 12 inches are available currently. The tracklisting so far reads like a who’s who of the current left-field beat scene. Available at [...]
Could be alternately known as “Dublab Presents… A Lot of Our Favorite Artists on One Amazing Compilation” but I suppose “Echo Expansion” works, too. Featuring tracks from The Gaslamp Killer, Ras G, Flying Lotus and a whole host of other cosmic beat luminaries, this limited edition vinyl LP is bound to please and certain to [...]
Dubstep is putting a hurting on my wallet this week. Bleep announced today that it is offering a pre-order for the forthcoming 12″ series from Hyperdub celebrating 5 years in the beats business. There are some amazing names on this series, all contributing unreleased tracks. The first two twelve inches alone feature tracks from Flying [...]
