A succinct 6 track sampler drawn from Blockhead's Uncle Tony's Coloring Book album. Although Block has been delivering the goods to indy emcees like Aesop, Cage, Slug, and Murs, he always seems to keep the best, most forward stuff for himself. His...   click for more

Dublab's Daedelus is know for his eclectic electronic beats like the wonderful track "Fair Weather Friends," but he really takes it up a notch here. He rocks and shocks with "My Beau," a electro cover of the booty bass anthem...   click for more

Everything is moving faster. I just heard Catchdubs in the office saying that there's already an I Love The New Millennium on TV. Hey, that shit's not even over yet! All the while, the world gets smaller and cultures start to...   click for more

Daedelus introduces psyche-style harmony vocals to his mix on "Make It So." Cool track, but the remixes steal the show. First with XXXchange's future-rock rework, then Moonstar's awesome analog breakbeat workout. Beathead on the rise, Samiyam (frequent Flylo collaborator), does the stuttering,...   click for more

Now on digital! Our "vintage" review from 2004 when he was also know as Diplodocus: OK, by now you know that we're pretty much down with everything Diplo does. You know we're gonna give this a positive review, blow some smoke around...   click for more

This is a lesson in classic downtempo my friends. This collection compiles the entire Refried Food series which sees DJ Food tracks being remixed by some legendary producers (plus a couple DJ Food originals for good measure). I remember as a young...   click for more

Ghislain on Ninja Tune?! Big tings agwan. Montreal's bassmaster is back with some more dutty ragga/dancehall styles on "Blazin'," featuring Face-T, who doesn't sound totally unlike Elephant Man. Face keeps the rhymes coming at breakneck speed as Young Ghis bounces le gros...   click for more

Ghislain Porier, my bass-obsessed Quebecois brother from another, drops his first full-length for Ninja Tune! This is what they call big tings. Ghis is once again joined by collaborateurs like Omnikrom and Mr. Lee G, but his beats still end up stealing...   click for more

Ghislain Poirier and indy rockers We Are Wolves take turns remixing each other's songs for this 2 track release. The We Are Wolves remix of GP's "Diaspora" is surprisingly in a dubstep vein, while GP's remix of the Wolves' "Fight And...   click for more

For me, buying MF Doom records is one of the few activities that captures that feeling of refuge found in thrift stores when you are trapped in suburbia, seeking a getaway from all the predictability and mass market chain stores. Doom is...   click for more

Mr. Scruff never ceases to deliver feelgood music. His songs always have an innate playfulness, the polar opposite of snobbery and disease. This double-sided single features the embodiment of those ideas on "Donkey Ride", while on the flip, Scruff gets a...   click for more

Follow-up EP of bonus and extras from Awfully Deep album. The a-side, "Seat Yourself," is a new track with that off-center electronic sound that he seems so snug with. It comes with a companion Diplo remix in the same vein- not his...   click for more

Kevin Martin (aka The Bug) has been at this for a long time, since back in '97 when the group included fellow future-Ninja Tuner DJ Vadim. After 10+ years in the game, Martin finally gets the chance to flex his nasty ragga...   click for more

Cinematic Orchestra has always been on the cusp of fantastic jazz / downtempo sounds, and this, one of their earlier albums, is no exception. Fantastically arranged, every track is perfection in a variety of ways. Deep and brooding ("Night Of The Iguana"),...   click for more

Not to marginalize Cuizinier, Teki and the rest of TTC's badass vocal stylings, but seriously - it doesn't matter if you don't speak a word of French, this shit is still FIRE! Orgasmic absolutely kills on the beat, whose melody is suspiciously...   click for more
