Ruckspin Fire


Ruckspin has the dubstep midas touch. With his own releases pushing the boundaries of the warmer & musical dubstep vibes, the man himself comes with a deep selection. Can't get enough of the Quark collabos myself and Roots Vibration is no exception. Alongside tracks such as Phaeleh - Lockdown, this is a mix for those that prefer something away from the dancefloor.



Tracklisting:


1. Ruckspin, Quark & Planas - 'Roots Vibration' ft. Ras Spear
2. Funk Ethics & RLD - 'Together'
3. Think - 'Warm Moments' (Jack Sparrow remix)
4. Laxx - 'I'll Be Alright' ft. Roberta Flack
5. Phaeleh - 'Lockdown' ft. Jut Lew
6. Cymatic - 'Glue'
7. Jack Sparrow - 'Shoal'
8. ? - 'Reazi26'
9. Laxx - 'Heart Capsule'
10. Damian Marley & Nas - 'As We Enter' (Ruckspin remix)
11. Jack Dixon - 'Somebody Said They Saw You'
12. Ruckspin & Joe Dubz - 'This is What You Want'
13. Sideprojekt - 'Maelstrom'
14. Octane & DLR - 'Red Tape' ft. TST
15. Dub from Atlantis - 'Silly Little Things' (Cymatic remix)
16. Middleman - 'It's Not Over Yet' (Ruckspin remix)

Beastie Riot 1/4


The Beastie Boys discography is nothing short of brilliant. Refusing to be pidgeon-holed, the differing musical styles on their records shows a collective love of raw and funky performances. This mix is 1 of 4 after I found that it was too difficult trying to squeeze all the personal favourites in to one solid mix.

Tracklisting:

Futtermans Rule
5 Piece Chicken Dinner
Pass The Mic
Sabotage
Slow And Low
Dr Lee, PHD
So What'cha Want
Do It
Ask For Janice
Instant Death
Professor Booty
The Scoop
B-Boys Makin' With The Freak Freak
In 3's

Loefah - Justabeat



One of the best free tracks of the last 12 months, this dark and moody track by Loefah harks back to early dubstep vibes where simplicity was most effective. Lovely track and recently re-upped for you to enjoy. Its a raw 88mb .wav which makes it sound that much better.

SHM - One (Virus Syndicate Remix)


Made available for free by the Virus Syndicate head honcho MRK1, a hard remix of a tune thats no doubt stuck in your heads as much as mine. Better to have this rolling around inside your head than the original. JSD, Nika D and Goldfinger on mic duties to give the remix the Virus treatment. Bag it.

The Ghosts of World War II's Past





Taking old World War II photos, Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov carefully photoshops them over more recent shots to make the past come alive. Not only do we get to experience places like Berlin, Prague, and Vienna in ways we could have never imagined, more importantly, we are able to appreciate our shared history in a whole new and unbelievably meaningful way.

Doesn't exactly fit in here but I was drunk and finishing off the last podcast when I came across this link so thought I'd share it. These pictures are incredibly humbling.
