ADTRAX 28

Posted on: 18-11-2012

Little something to warm your cockles as we head towards the end of the year ‘best of’ shows in December.
Starting off with a purdy little piano rendition of Discloure’s ‘Latch’ by Wei. Next up a really interesting track from soul/electronica vocalist and producer Sohn, some unique stuff coming from him, worth keeping tabs on. Then, the Unforscene track from Sonar Kollectiv’s last ‘Secret Love 6′ compilation. Super collab Mez and Soia next up, eagerly awaiting an EP or album from those two, mad synergy. After which, another great collab from acidsmith Funkineven & singer Fatima entitled ’90’s’. Bit of Ryan Hemsworth next. He’s getting crazy attention and i’m on the fence a bit, but this Lianna La Havas rework in nice.

After a bit of a dance to Maribou State’s ‘Scarlett Groove’ we go all handclaps and shoe gaze with the help of Sable and then some super dense but beautiful production sounds courtesy of Thriftworks.
Track from the ace ‘Cosmic Compositions’ compilation next up. Definitely pick that up on Bandcamp – all Beatmaker interpretations of the mighty Pharoah Sanders (New Zealand killing it again.) Great comp but nowhere near as killer as the Keats//Collective Vol.2 one, 25 tracks, many heaters on there including this Haz Solo one.
Love this crazy Go Yama ‘Brooms’ track – it’s like that Peter And The Wolf album where all the characters are different instruments from the orchestra, only done with a Maschine and a 303 n sh!t.
Insightful has another great album out, dude is mad prolfiic and inventive, track here is called ‘Bad Burp’.
Big nodder next from Teklun on the Soulection label before the slightly nuts but fabulous Jim O Rourke remix of Neneh Cherry’s cover of Madvillain’s ‘Accordian’.

Signing off with 4 quality MCs – firstly ‘Loop’ from Norway’s finest – Ivan Ave, cop his excellent ‘Portals EP’ from Soundcloud, then the Q-Tip produced track from the much anticipated new album from Roc Marciano. Last two are the Aeon produced Von Pea nugget ‘Things Have Changed’ and one from the Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson ‘Dice Game’ Project.
That’s it, be good for Santa. Big Best of 2012 selection show soon come.
