Brand new Hotflush Podcast is up from HQF. Check it.

Echodub have just released their new (13th) EP in the form of DFRNT‘s Weapon 2010.

The original Weapon track was originally released back in 2008 on “Insectmind” and has since been brought up to date, and given a reworking. THere’s also a second version with a bit more in the way of beats. You can grab both versions at the new Echodub Bandcamp, or from Echodub’s website.

F4T Records are venturing in to deep dub-techno territory with their thirteenth release. The Eclosion EP, by Isotroph is an excellent example of deep, swirling, eveloping dub-techno.

After The Moon is an absolutely epic track, starting from almost nothing and building to a pulsing heartbeat.

Biotope takes a more techno/house based approach, but is equally satisfying when that beat kicks in.

Genese sits with Biotope as a more techno led number. The bass takes more of a front-row on this one, as it pushed the track towards a driving climax.

Right – that’s enough description – Get over to www.soundcloud.com/isotroph and check his stuff out.

The three release tracks are here…

I’m all up for free music, and so as soon as I was told about Bojcot Selectah’s U Know EP, I made a point of grabbing it right away.

I’d suggest you do the same. Immediately!

Mr Wesley has certainly been busy since we last featured him on SittingOvation. With a number of other releases out on Arctic Dub he’s been working hard to bring us all that sweet dub-ambient and dub-techo sound.

His latest EP “Merkaba Sessions Alpha” is available on Bandcamp right now, and I have to say I’m still as impressed now as I was a year back when I first came across his stuff.

I suggest you take a trip over to his Bandcamp page now and check out his latest offerings!

The German producer has been on my radar for a long time now, and his output is consistently excellent. This release proves no different. His work is crystal clear, fusing serene bleeps and tight beats round a mutating bassline in “Millions Of Miles” – with The Next’s remix providing a more uptempo version with extra goodness. “String Theory” is a marginally more blissed out affair, but with some great beat-work and a real groove to get yourself stuck in.

STOKE005 is a fantastic look at what the label and Skyence can offer – I’d urge you to not only check this, but previous releases and also previous work by Skyence. His gleaming portfolio of tracks demonstrate a huge ability to produce over a number of speeds, and with a number of styles.

I’m going to slightly diverge from my usual content and post an album which I was sent recently. Preview below…

Alex B released Moments, a 17 track masterpiece on Elm And Oak just yesterday.

The album is a sweeping, swirling collection of hip hop and wonky beats, spangly synths and intricate percussion. It’s a joy to listen to and will likely form part of the soundtrack to my spring and summer this year. Highly recommended!
