Siksy (Origamibiro Remix)

Solid Steel (19th December) Coldcut return with a special 2 hour mix to end another great year on Solid Steel and a late contender for Mix of the Year. Matt Black steps up with a suitably broad selection starting with a laid back opening from Tokimonsta, Thundercat, Slugabed and The Free Design. Proceedings pick up with Cid Rim, Instra:mental and classic Smith & Mighty. Recent guests Distal and Peverelist both feature, alongside Untold, The Bug and Oneohtrix Point Never. Then we go deep with Miles Davis, David Axelrod and even Beethoven, before closing the show with Mr Fingers, Four Tet and Basic Channel.

Noah - doll (kidkanevil Remix)

Time to start Friday morning with a slice of abstract tranquility from Montreal based Stefan Jós who releases his debut album 'Primitives' on flau and raum shortly. Spacious, bugged-out electronics give way to sober crispiness. "The moody rhythms, wood and metal, weird noises in wet caves and other goodies for ground-dwellers and mole people alike."

Stefan Jós is Devon Hansen, a musician and video artist born and raised in Southern California.

Primitives is released next week on flau and raum. More info here

Supreme Cuts, "Sherm"

http://www.flau.jp/releases/r07.html

This is the first offical ep from Kyoto beatmaker Madegg. The album features his early work from 2009 when he was only 16 years old, up to current mixes from 2011. The tracks were made only using Ableton live lite. These tracks showcase the contemporary feel of current beat music, but Madegg presents us with something original and unique from a teenager’s fresh and keen sensitivity and insight.
Loose, lazy, awakward grove, bounce around with a charming electronic sound. There is a strange hybrid mix, taking on several genres like electronica, LA beats, wonky, and experimental sounds.
The ep was mastered by Miles Whittaker (a.k.a Demdike Stare, Pendle Coven). Madegg’s sounds are not dependent on gimmick. Now, even at the young age of 19, Madegg feels he gets a sense of the individual experience and self-searching from the tracks he makes. The effect is something deep, that deepens as you listen to the musical transitions of this collection. 

Madegg - Thalassa

Big tune as heard on Yunx's minimal mondays.
