Death Grips Exmilitary (Official Mixtape)

RELEASE DATE April 27 2011

Death Grips - Exmilitary - 2 - Guillotine

Welcoming the brilliant London-based, Singapore-born artist SKETCH to the Untitled 909 mix series. 

Resident at local party famfem, SKETCH is no stranger to the London club circuit. Having played at renowned events such as Riposte, Body Movements, Queens Yard Summer Party, Origins and playbody to name a few, SKETCH has quickly become known for her love of industrial-leaning soundscapes and emotive journeys that draws influence from her Malay / Indonesian heritage. Something that she is now learning to do through her own productions and reconnecting with her heritage through her deep research on samples and the traditional instruments and sounds that are used in Malay / Indonesian music. Releasing her debut single 'Khayal' earlier this year, to great acclaim (being named one to watch by DJ Mag), SKETCH says the track was 'mostly inspired by the traditional Javanese dance called Kuda Kepang, a dance ritual by dancers on a two-dimensional horse' and will soon see remixes of the track from some of her friends. With an EP in the works too, we're super excited to see where SKETCH is heading and can't wait to hear more from her productions. 

In the accompanying interview, we chat to SKETCH about early music influences, what her production journey has been like, the experience of reconnecting with her heritage via music, deep diving into the influences behind 'Khayal' and much more.

Muslimgauze - Low On Qat

CB Records is proud to announce the new 7” single by Mophono, “Lump Sum Slum Lord (CTB vol 2)”, the second installment in the limited edition vinyl series based on the legendary San Francisco party Change The Beat. Founded in 2006 by Mophono, The Gaslamp Killer, Citizen Ten and Aspect McCarthy, CTB was known as the most forward thinking weekly showcase in the world, Hosting acts like Flying Lotus, DJ Shadow, Madlib, Slum Village, Edan, Mono/Poly and Eprom. The tag line said it all, “Dirt Wave & Rock Electronique, Thug Jazz & Riot Funk, Psyche Madness & Funk Rock layered with the hardest instrumental & Dub beats from around the world!!!”

Mophono’s unparalleled sense of instrumental narrative makes it difficult to neatly categorize his genre-refracting productions.  His emphasis on simplicity and effectiveness yields captivating results.  Side-A crashes through the skull, with hysterical, psychedelic, and pensive swells.  Larger than life breaks accompany a backbone of brooding synth bass.  Its no wonder this song was Detroit beatmaker Tadd Mullinix AKA Dabrye’s first choice to remix for the B-Side.  Lauded as one of the world’s best producers of instrumental hip-hop, we hear Dabrye juxtaposing the original with a mature and wholly engaging interpretation.

ninjoi. - a flower is not a flower

"Those not familiar with Jones’ style, will listen slack-jawed at the shear anticipatory nature of his sound collage. The five lengthy tracks are based on hypnotic and somewhat menacing grooves: a repetitive dub bass beat, waves of Middle Eastern strings and voices, layers of building hand percussion. Each track is respective but the washes of sound/percussion come and go often creating a sense of motion and change. All of the tracks are similar and even share elements. Mid-East tension is so accurately captured through the use of the regions instrumentation (especially percussion), sinister electronics, samples of men chanting, women crying, sounds culled from the horrors of war, and occasional angry distortion that the listener’s listener will be transported to the belly of the beast.
‘Mullah Said’ displays two aspects of the work of Muslimgauze. Firstly, musically, it is in the delightful drifting ambient vein. The percussion is mainly acoustic hand drums - providing a rhythm of aural features - the trademark shimmering string sound heard on a number of releases is much in evidence, rhythms are generally slower, there are lots of samples of people speaking in conversation, markets wherever. ‘Mullah said’ opens the disc with the lovely mix of these sounds. ‘Every grain of Palestine sand’ continues the mood, with a slightly faster tempo, and more emphasis on the beat. But it soon locks into a mesmeric lassitude as various effects echo or smear the sounds, drums come in for short moments, different string sounds enjoin the play. ‘Muslims die India’ follows the mood though the voices seem darker, sadder, and then comes ‘Every grain of Palestinian sand’ followed by ‘Muslims die India’. Yes - not a typo, these tracks are repeated. Muslimgauze trend - to remix himself.  Prime Muslimgauze middle eastern ambience - if you like that side you will love this album. The final track is short and different, a crackling ground over which a singer chants a song interrupted by machine-gun percussive bursts - ‘An end’."

Engineered by John Delf.
Recorded at the Abraham Mosque, Manchester.
Originally released in 1998 as Muslimlim 018.
