BIIIIIIG New mix from Tigran MiM0SA, a true master of glitch-hop production. From the first drop at 1:23 (a sped-up “far nearer” with some trademark MiM0SA percussion), this is required listening.

Also don’t miss MiM0SA headlining Girls & Boys at Webster Hall in NYC (with Wompblog favorite Mustard Pimp!) on Friday, November 11th.

Plastic Thumbs, a criminally underhyped DJ duo from the UK, have just dropped their fourth mixtape, and it’s a whomper! Their last three have all been classics, you can check them all on their soundcloud.

The Plastic Thumbs sound is a fresh mash of classic ragga party jams, big whompy basslines, and extra crunky beats running the gamut from dancehall to b-more to baile to bashment. Their sets are constantly accelerating tornados of crunky, sassy, lose-your-shit party music. 


There’s obviously a wealth of collective DJ experience between these two. Their craftsmanship as DJs is masterful. A thick, delicious undercurrent of cheeky juxtapositions runs throughout their work, like a fudge ripple in Ben-n-Jerry’s. I don’t wanna ruin anything for you guys, but there’s a point where he drops “WHOOMP! THERE IT IS” over sped-up Major Lazer and then moves right into a Drop The Lime followed by Luda. No tracklist, just get into it!

Boardrider & Insight 51 Mixtape by Plastic Thumbs

An appropriately titled mix, as this does grow and expand the contemporary notion of lovestep. I know the last thing we need is another subgenre (and this is not the time or place to rehash the brostep debate) but lovestep is an apt term, crystallizing something significant going on in music right now; a lush, flourescent corner of dubstep, awash in gorgeous mid-heavy synths and female vocals that yearn, nourish, challenge and engage a tender part of the listeners consciousness. In a space usually dominated by buzzsaw noises and disembowling bass-drops, it’s refreshing to hear producers using the tropes of dubstep to tell a more hopeful, emotionally resonant story with their music. Beating audio swords into plowshares, as it were. . .

Lazer Sword just upped a whole buncha tracks to soundcloud from the Golden Handshake EP. Composed in ’07, but released this week, you’ll recognize a lot of these tracks from your favorite mixes. A few initial rxns to hearing these on their own:

3d Action Jackson –
Music to blast in your space cadillac on as you order get your astro-burgers with EXTRA lazer sauce. Serious top-notch glitch-disco.
Lando Kal – 3D Action Jackson  by  LAZER SWORD

Trapperkeeper –
A trackname that will thrill any 80s baby, is a mega-man boss theme on ketamine. Get into it.
Low Limit – Trapperkeeper  by  LAZER SWORD

Penguine ft. E40-
Hugg n Pepp have been doing some big things lately, evidenced by their recent collaboration with the scion of hyphy, E-40 (at least until the resurreection of Mac Dre). Big tchune here, classic ninja-turtle sewer murkin shit.
Hugg & Pepp – Penguini (Lando Kal Edit)  by  LAZER SWORD

Gold Star Radiation –
With a nice variety of robot squawks, sporadic claps, digital slap bass and chunkily-reverbed space-synth stabs, Justice comparisons aren’t that far off the mark. But there’s a nuanced funk here, that informs the listener this comes from a producer more interested in seeing your booty move than seeing his name move up the hypem charts.
Hovatron – Gold Star Radiation (Lando Kal remix)  by  LAZER SWORD

Where ya Been 7.0 –
pretty standard gangsta-blip-hop with lots of gun-noise samples, but the slowed down, glitched-out breakdown at 2:38 will have you reachin for the TURBO button on your custom SNES controller.
