Episode 0/4 - Featuring Epikmotion and Syafii

Our guest mix this month is a bubbling rhythmic wander land, the architect - Syafii - runs monthly nights 'Good Times' and '808' along with his mates from the Bedsty crew.

"This mix is made up of some of my fave tunes from the endlessly-mutating, frankly amazing UK bass scene"

Episode 0/3 - Featuring Max Lane and Izaak Stern

Rolling on with our monthly podcast, we have 2 beat nuts on the case for May.

The bright young star of the Qilin camp is our guest mixer man for this episode. Izaak Stern presents us with a mix full of phased out samples and crushed beat collages, impressive and immersive.

"Izaak Stern is on a journey across musical tangents, where nothing is prescribed and nothing is certain. With an experimental modus operandi (which often results unconsciously in an “experimental” end product), the producer views beatmaking as an exploratory process. From the bedrooms of Singapore, to the speakers of London, Izaak Stern is a faceless sound emerging from the depths of the underground"

We have lift off...or maybe not

Eyjafjallajokull glacier (*note, this is not any random keyboard freestyle, that's how it is spelled) continues to spew, smoking up Europe and its other unfortunate beneficiaries leaving them high and dry.
While just 8 km away from where i live is an industrial amusement park made bullishly by and for oil and GDP nuts. This AI(Artificial Island) has been flaring(illegally), turning the skies into an apocalyptic orange hue.

A cessation on references to weather reports and current affairs, duly directs our attention to the fact that our good friend and ally Air Traffic Control Tower is operating safely albeit nature and climate running amok.

Episode 0/2 - Featuring Shellsuit and Christen Danse

Buckle up! Up first on this month's episode, is a tasty brew from our guest Shellsuit, which is then followed by a hyped CD danse out.

"Shellsuit is a music fiend most commonly heard playing funk, soul and old school hip hop at Pushin’On, a monthly night in Singapore he runs together with DJ Chunk and MC Masterpiece. This short mix was done for fun to piece together some familiar tracks from the mid 80’s to early 90’s."

You know it's all about that fnukd up ting. Serious.

Thank You Rollins!

I don't have a neck as huge as Mr. Rollins but here's to a lesson of not bending over backwards for anyone how big or small. I'm all up for providing great hospitality but there's always a threshold to bratty behaviour.

Anyway, thanks to those who stayed till the end last Saturday and the greatest of apologies to those who came and just couldn't hang around longer to catch my set. Below is an offering to both groups of people.

SYNDICATE(D) NEWS: The Beat Buffet

Yesh, Max Lane will be back on the Syndicate long table of gears & controllers come this Saturday. Somewhere next to him will be the non-Jewish/non-accountant button-pushing partner in crime, Izaak Stern. Here's a wikked wikked mix from him. Stretch the table longer you will find Cherry Chan with tricks from London post-RBMA stint. And as we learned a couple of weeks ago, occupying the smallest of space on the same table will be Ikuma. Last and definitely not least serving beats in the line is the man with the phat kicks & snares from Australia, Dizz1.

Before the beat buffet table opens this Saturday at Home Club, below are some bites for a beat tasting session.
