Every clique needs a secret weapon.

Scottish label LuckyMe might officially be a big deal these days, with Cashmere Cat and Baaeur infiltrating pop music, Hudson Mohawke going from bedroom Just Blaze disciple to one of Kanye's right hand men, and Lunice and Eclair Fifi becoming two of electronic music's favourite live acts and DJs, respectively, but S-Type is as good as anyone on the roster.

After a couple of under-the-radar records (the first released on his older brother Tommy's label in 2005), S-Type made his first real impact with Billboard, a six-track EP of widescreen hip-hop beats, oversexed funk and, in 'You Da Best', a closer that's about as sweet as instrumental hip-hop gets when it's 150bpm with a hundred snares a minute.

Two more records on LuckyMe followed: Rosario combined more undeniable melodies with guest spots from Roc Marciano, YC the Cynic and Rustie, while SV8 saw him team up with Lunice, Inkke and Yung Gud for no frills club music. S-Type's biggest collaboration, however, came with Hud Mo on The Rap Monument, a 36-minute rap song featuring Young Thug, Pusha T, Raekwon and a whole lot more. It took the idea of a posse cut to whole new levels, proved that branded content doesn't need to suck and was generally pretty damn impressive.

We've been badgering S-Type for a mix for a good couple of years now, and it's pure coincidence that it's ended up number 500 - but it also feels kinda fitting. There's few people working at his level, but S-Type doesn't always get the props he deserves - the sort of artist we've tried to champion since the start.

P.S. Unreleased TNGHT.

Solid Steel in association with Serato (22nd April) This week it's a Planet Mu takeover and in Hour 1 we're delighted to welcome label boss Mike Paradinas, who has been constantly pushing boundaries with the label and under his moniker μ-Ziq for well over two decades. His contribution to electronic music is incredible when you look at just some of the names that have appeared on Planet Mu, such as  DJ Nate, Mr Mitch, Kuedo, Terror Danjah, Meat Beat Manifesto, Benga, Neil Landstrumm, FaltyDL, DJ Rashad, Luke Vibert, Machinedrum and Floating Points. We're lucky to get a preview of forthcoming material on the label and he told us;

"This is a mix I did when I had a free day. I just went through the last two months of additions to my itunes and used that as a starting point. I’ve been compiling Kuedo’s new album in the last few weeks so there are a few early versions of what will appear on that, and some tracks by Wwwings who we are releasing an EP of. Outtakes from the new JGB album (J.G. Biberkopf) on Knives and some new Ekoplekz and Herva tracks."

A remix for @lorenzobitw and Chikaya - out now on Friends of Friends.

Chasing EP

Lorenzo BITW - Chasing (ft. Chikaya) (Strict Face Re-Strict)

"Extramarital" is the lead track from @iyer's forthcoming "Third Culture Tamilian" EP. Written in collaboration with 2016 RBMA alum @thesinepainter during his visit to San Francisco, the hyperactive tune samples vocals from a song in a Tamil movie with great meaning to both producers. 

The full EP is available from @modernruin Records on August 30th. Pre-order it here: https://www.junodownload.com/products/iyer-third-culture-tamilian/4252069-02/

Iyer & The Sine Painter - Extramarital

New single from @lordraja featuring @acemo.

"Streets of Rage 2" comes from the expanded vinyl edition of the previously released Amadeus EP. Amadeus is released in collaboration with @ghostly.

///

What does a daydream sound like? Is it an audible confidence boost, a concentrated dose of caffeine shot straight into the bloodstream of dancing feet, a blue so overwhelmingly electric its field stretches as far as the eye can see? On Amadeus, the latest Ghostly effort from New York’s Lord RAJA, the shapeshifting producer answers his own question with a cunning, childlike purity not felt since he started tinkering with Fruity Loops aged six. 

Though his means of music-making have matured since then—on Amadeus he utilizes an arsenal of drum machines along with synthesizers and an Allen & Heath analog mixer slammed through for extra crunch—RAJA describes a deliberate return to youthful experimentation and immediacy, clearing the way for a “vista to his childhood.” 

Longtime fans of the producer may be accustomed to productions more directly aligned with hip-hop and leftfield beats, but his swagger hasn’t gone anywhere despite the decidedly dancier change of form. The release is bookended by an exuberant and naturally collaborative piece with AceMo—a fellow New Yorker whom RAJA describes as his favorite producer—and bonus track “Fox Den,” an eight-minute cosmic meander released as part of the Adult Swim singles series last year. On standout “O.K” his customary percussive potpourri mingles with vocal chops and an electro bounce even the most humorless club patron couldn’t resist. “Black Coffee,” another highlight, features synth lines so darkly acidic they should come with toxic warnings. RAJA describes the track title as a literal take - a soundtrack to jolt first date jitters, a call to cool courage. 

Amadeus, meanwhile, he suggests is a cheeky nod to the complex richness of his musical heritage. He says, “I think it’s kinda funny to flip an idea of western imperialism and how it proliferated. It’s playful as an Indian man to call yourself Amadeus, knowing how much composers borrowed from eastern classical influences.”
