Artworks Amsterdam, Throwing Snow XLR8R mix, J Dilla tribute tape

Sorry for the small amount of content recently, the last few weeks have been rather busy and our broken promises of a new DJ Sneaks and all the rest have been noted so we'll try and pick things up for you soon.

A few little nuggets to make you aware of today.

Artworks Amsterdam
Firstly we're going to be in Amsterdam this Thursday (16th Feb) laying down some tunes at the Artworks exhibition and after party. The exhibition itself will be featuring work by Super A, M Jay, Collin Van Der Sluijs and Rutger Termohlen. We'll be joining the Hear No Evil team in providing beats along side Throwing Snow and Blende. Check out Ross Throwing Snow's XLR8R mix from January over on the XLR8R site here for some serious tune selection as well as a number of his own Jams.

It's Our first trip to the Dam so any Dutch readers out there drop by and say hello. Heard big things about the Artworks exhibition parties. RSVP here - exhibition@glassworksamsterdam.nl for entry with full deets of the event here and the exhibition flyer below.




J Dilla - A Tribute to the Drum.
Made aware of this by the missus so props to her for for alerting your ears to this one.
Last week was the anniversary of the passing of one of hip hops greatest producers.

James Sewitt Yancey aka J Dilla was one of the true masters of the MPC. His beats are the basis of what hip hop is to me and his productions for a Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Erykah Badu and many many more are some of the greatest examples of smooth soulful sampling ever laid down .
The below is a collection of influenced tributes and Dilla remixes that you need on your music player and it's all up for free download.




And as i said earlier, more posts, mixes and general banterbury to come soon so hold tight.

Going to finish with this.

Hear No Evil and Oonst launch Party @ XOYO London + Kenton Slash Demon Mix

The time has finaly come. Two Months ago after 4 years of our monthly party Superfilth we decided to close up shop and concentrate on new projects, and that new project is now ready for lift off.

Oonst our (Robin, Myself and Mr Arrowstothesky) new party launches tomorrow night (Friday 6th May 2011) at London's superb space XOYO. Oonst will be launching in room two with room one being in the highly trained hands of London based Music Consultancy Hear No Evil.

And what a line up we have to look forward to. Heading up room 1 Ninja Tunes signed Austrian keyboard wizkid Dorian Concept will be performing live, Showcasing his new material on Ninja Tune and Affine Records. Other room one heavyweights include Night Slugs signed Mosca, Hear no evil producers Si Begg and Throwing Snow... two producers taking things over in their respective electronic scenes right now and more importantly for this post as we have been sent a superb mix over by them.... Danish Duet Kenton Slash Demon.

Oonst in Room two alongside us and Arrowstothesky we welcome the exceptional sounds of DJ/ Producer Deadboy, a set from Trouble Vision head boy Mr Solid Gold as well as a smooth opening session from selector extraordinaire Guy Rolfe.

We also have a cheeky concessions list available so email your names over to guestlist@hearnoevil.tv for cheap entry. Drinks will be a meager £2 from 9 - 10:30 in the Oonst room for the early arrives so drop in and sup wussup.

Kenton Slash Demon Mix.



Copenhagen based, Kenton Slash Demon's sound is both organic and futuristic and goes way beyond the confines of standard dance music. German music magazine De:Bug has describe it as "house music as Indian free jazz opera" which goes some way towards explaining why such varied DJs/producers as Claude Von Stroke, Hot Chip, Gold Panda and Brodinski count themselves as fans.

The mix below was put together as podcast number 44 in the Trace a Line website series. A seriously eclectic mix of high end dance and electronic music. Make sure you download it and get a listen in preparation foir tomorrow night.




Also check out the below video for the Kenton Slash Demon Track "Sun". One of my personal favorites from the duo. Smooth as fu*k summer house and clearly demonstrating another card to their eclectic production pack without compromising their more intellectual production sound. The video features iPhone footage of a one of Kenton Slash Demons Swedish shows.




And for those that can make it, see you tomorrow at XOYO.
