RELEASES

Slugabed's long awaited début Time Team is out today through Ninja Tune with the single Sex landing a few weeks back. He's really been at the forefront of an off kilter hip hop sound for a few years now and this could be the release that sees him get the props he deserves.

KURSA's Machinate EP came out through Adapted, showing his heavy and playful side in equal measure. From what we've seen of the names lined up to do the remixes they're gonna be jaw dropping

Remember that badass Sedge Warbler album? So do all the sick monkeys that have remixed it, including SixAM, Jiffster and Cut la Roc

Donky Pitch's Keyboard Kid 206 was featured on The Guardian new band of the Day, just in time for this tasty little EP

FREEBIES

SixAM has given away a banger of track to get you liking his new Soundcloud. Remixes offer a nice twist too. What are you waiting for?

Mouldy Soul lets Snoop abuse his teapot

KURSA gives you a free neuro-boner
The Beat Dweebs got caught up in Cash For Flapjacks scandal with Spinforth over at GhettoFunk.co.uk

Freq Nasty comes home for Secret Garden Party this summer. Shame he's not bringing Knight Riderz with him

Pistol Shrimp come back with a funked up club classic

Koan Sound gave Kasabian a working over

Wolfie Razzmatazz delivers another genie-arse Opiuo swing mash up

Glitch Mob inspired beats from Bath via INFINITY

TEASERS

Skanky Panky Boss William Breakspear's been getting us wet for his debut album at the end of May with a series of collaborations and a very welcome refix of an old classic. They're not released until September though - that is a tease!(bastad)

Mouldy Soul's remixed AMB. Just don't keylock it when you mix it or he'll batter you with his bass dildo

KURSA has been a busy man and it's all sounding delicious
Bobby Tank was also picked up as Guardian new band of the Day. He continues to prolifically make noise like this. "it's an eargasmic onrush of everything"
The leg-end that is Si Begg has a new track on an Enig'matik, due in just a couple of weeks called "Painting Pictures On Silence v2" Compiled by label boss Sun In Aquarius who's done some pretty tasty Tipper remixes lately
Bristol producer SPenghead gives us a taster of his début EP out this month
Dephicit teased us with a work in progress a while back, but we weren't prepared for how funky it would end up

Beat3 gonna knock you out
This is a very funky mid-tempo taster from electro producer DivKid
-Butler Reeves- who seems to be better know for his swing turns his hand to arcade lazer laced glitch step to great effect in this track

Klem in Brighton has finished his first track and it's a chilled out bass and glitch beauty. Looking forward to more like this

This is a pretty lush downtempo glitch number from Mykus

Beautiful downtempo from Lhasa Mencur
To finish off - this the first track from Son of Glitch's new live project. Be interested to see what their set-up is!
