Sonic Router has launched a record label “after receiving the sort of demo that makes you want to start a record label”, and here we have a taster of the label’s first release. SRR001 is a 6-track EP from 18 year old Dutch beat-maker Torus – fans of Shlohmo, Shigeto, Lapalux etc are sure to dig this collection of spaced out, “hazy, crackly hangover music’.
The Torus EP will be released in March on limited edition cassette tape, as well as a digital release with Dynoo and Slugabed on remix duties. If you like what you hear, make sure you catch the kid’s UK debut in Brighton where he’s supporting Shlohmo and Salva on their European tour (details here).
From Essex to Cali- young talent Lapalux has unleashed a sampler of his forthcoming EP “When You’re Gone” to be released on Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label. The highly anticipated 7-track EP, packed full of warped and soulful electronic beats, dusty clicks & clacks, sweeping synthwork, and dreamy vocals (including those of singer Py who has previously collaborated with man like Throwing Snow), is out on 7th February. I can’t wait to get lost in the full EP. Listen to the taster here:
This Saturday Liminal Sounds, the party run by a couple of us here at Get Some, is returning to Rhythm Factory for our third installment. With sets from Randomer, Blackwax, Palace, Pedestrian and Richard Aki & Knuckles repping Get Some, it promises to be a good one.

On Friday, DIN Magazine, are having their Christmas Bash at The Alibi, Dalston. Our lads SSG, Elsewhere and Brett Mav will be repping for the team, with Ouzo on mic duty.

London-based producer Pedestrian has remixed ‘Daddy’ by talented songstress Emeli Sande, twisting the original with his dusty dancefloor vibe. Fans of Gang Colours and Ifan Dafydd should keep an eye on this guy.
Edinburgh-based duo Blackwax have just released a new EP of dizzy 808 beats which I highly recommend. You can buy the Offkey EP, released on Tube10, from Juno- and listen to one of the tracks below. Blackwax will be playing in London next month for the next Liminal Sounds party with Randomer, Pedestrian, Palace, and a couple of us from GET SOME will be repping too – sign up for limited FREE guestlist here before it’s too late.
Kuedo‘s album ‘Severant’ has been featured in pretty much every notable end of year list, and rightly so. Now Londoners have a chance to watch the Berlin-based producer (signed to Planet Mu) headlining the next Tempo Clash event this Saturday (17.12.11) at CAMP basement. He’ll be playing alongside Ital Tek, and 3 of Tempo Clash’s residents Kutmah, Kidkanevil and Offshore. Watch the video below which introduces the crew of Tempo Clash residents (Kutmah, Blue Daisy, Om Unit, Kidkanevil and Offshore) and cop your tickets for the party here.
Visionist (92 Points / NTS / 502 / Keysound / Left_Blank / Diskotopia) is one of my favourite producers right now. Check out this new one called Tropics which is being released in January next year as part of a new compilation curated by Diskotopia, Tokyo-based record label run by BD1982 and his crew.
Seems like nothing can stop young Lapalux right now, the latest signing to Flying Lotus‘s Brainfeeder, the kid just keeps churning out mad dope remixes. Warped, dreamy, electronic goodies. Listen to his remix of Mirrors ‘Fear of Drowning’ below, and head here to download his remix of AlunaGeorge (Super Recordings) for free via XLR8R.
DJ and producer Slackk has just given away a free track via his Twitter page @_slackk_(which y’all should follow, he’s a pretty funny guy… #slackkformayor). Listen to the grime-meets-house track below and download it here.
Unknown To The Unknown has released records by some of the scene’s hottest producers at the moment including Nightwave, Slackk, Dubbel Dutch, Nguzunguzu and more. The label’s latest offering is a dark and stripped back garage-meets-eski production from man like Palace. Check out the awesome video below:
