GET SOME UK UK MUSIC, ART AND CULTURE

Mumdance + Drums of Death = Mums of Death

Golden Axe EP % Scattle = Offical Video

Saturday before last something fairly interesting happened. An auditorium stage was given over to a quintet of both underground and commercially interesting musical talent. In front of a seated audience Jammer, Camelot, Mumdance, Sampha and a chap named Rodaidh McDonald (he mixed The XX’s album) took spontaneous cues from a crowd and proceeded to co-create a piece of music. With a 55 minute time limit my expectations weren’t particularly high, and sure enough the end product (yet to be made available) was pretty basic. But, most worthy of note were the levels of engagement and response to participatory portions of the process from spectators. As an effort to create an informative experience I have to tip my hat to The Creators Project. As just one of many features among an array of talks, installations and performances on the night I’m sure Jammer and crew will be happy to hear that through a series of chats and eavesdropped conversations it seemed clear to me that this show of interactive improv had been the highlight to many. Nice one VICE, nice one Intel. It’s clearly what the people want, so, here’s to more of the same…

10 Man Roll is Jammer’s forthcoming single from his album, Jahmanji. Produced by Mumdance. Summer vibes!

An interesting concept next, a music video which doubles as the trailer for a film. In this instance Rubber, directed by Quinten Dupieux, OST produced by Mr Oizo and Gaspard Augé. Very banging electro, if that’s your thing.

Aloe Blacc (signed to Stone’s Throw), has one hell of a voice and sings real R’n'B, you know RHYTHM AND BLUES.. not that shit you hear on the radio. Anyway, this is not a rant, please check him out and if you like it support it. I also love grainy films like this. I believe the album is due for release September time.

There is also this glorious LIVE version…

Anthemic Dubstep bit from Rinse artist Katy B. Benga on buttons.

More Rinse dubstep, from Skream. I quite like the old skool rave rave, hardcore samples on this beat. I know there are a lot of haters/chinstrokers out there who like to knock him, but the guy is a massive talent and when it comes to dancefloor tracks, he knows what time it is. They’ve gone for an arty Creation-story inspired video, with stop motion animation, skinny models, and stuff like that.

Last but not least, head-nod hip-hop from DELS, stay tuned, this kid could go big! Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard on buttons. Quality video.

Shouts out to Mumdance, the Old Skool Garage crew and the Mad Decent camp. Also known as Jack, Mumdance is a Grime producer and global remix smash. Diplo (Mad Decent) is already excited about him and the hype machine is on fire talking about his remixes. I first heard his Gucci Mane remix at the local disco and your may have bopped to one of his sets near you. Listen to the BBC 1Xtra session and expect to hear more through the collabos dropping later this year. To all you Garage heads the best treat comes in the form of guest MCs from way-back-when plus tracks reminiscing the scene previously known as ‘Garage’.
