Visionist killing it in the mix for DIS mag: http://dismagazine.com/disco/mixes/44171/visionist-only-eye/ This review says it all really: "This Visionist mix is the one. Really feels like he’s picked up where the Hyperdub compilation left off in 2009, when grime, dubstep and funky were all...

Wow, this is the first I'd heard about Pinch starting a new label. Thanks for the heads up Jorge, that mix sounds tight. Re. Livity-esque stuff, I'd highly recommend Rhythmic Theory's latest, the b-side, 'Riveted', almost sounds like a Beneath tune...

Etch has been doing sterling work on the ~130/Jungle front. Scattah is the one, can't find a clip unfortunately. https://soundcloud.com/d9kabloowww/sphynx-dusk-blackdown-rinse-fm http://buy-etch-some-clothes.bandcamp.com/ And Sully's been doing 'em at full speed:

Got this on the DL, big up! Couple of big interviews/mixes from Epoch and Underclass here: http://night-tracks.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/epoch-interview-guest-mix.html http://hedmuk.blogspot.co.nz/2013/03/featuring-underclass.html

Speaking of Grievous, he's released an LHF Tribute Mix. http://www.grievousangel.net/GAMixes/Tribute_to_LHF_mix_Grievous_Angel.mp3 edit: He was kind enough to share a tracklist too: 0:00 Intro: Chopperz 0:10 No Fixed Abode (LHF) - Strangelands 0:58 Double Helix (LHF) - LDN 5:52 Grievous...

Yesssss! I've got a lot of love for his output from last year.

Absolutely, things were already brewing for sure. Pinch (Croydon House), Cooly G (pretty much anything off the Dub Organizer EPs), and Ramadanman/Pearson Sound (Blimey, PLSN/WAD) all jump to mind too. And thanks for pointing out that Shortstuff tune Jim, I hadn't heard it before, it's a beaut.

So much good stuff on here, thanks all. Feels like there's a bit of a Sino-grime (or maybe it's more Japanese inflected grime?) flavor bubbling up on quite a few of these. Anyone got a sense of why that might be?

Some highlights from the last Dusk + Blackdown:

Listening to Slackk's mix now, bass on this one left me a bit queasy: https://soundcloud.com/dontannoy

Fully sick post. I also can't help but recall K-Punk's writing re. Burial too, describing how his music was at once desperate to regain a particular musical spirit that had become lost and half-remembered (in his case, rave), while simultaneously refusing to simply recycle past glories, and...

Benny, all good man, thanks. Slackk, agree that it's definitely beyond just Keysound, as Tom pointed out with plenty of other new labels coming through (Glacial, Egyptian Avenue, 92 Points, Niche n' Bump, Signal Life, Liminal Sounds, Poly Kicks etc), along with other more established labels who...

Sorry if that wasn't clear enough. I just said that it seems like most of this stuff is at about 130 bpm (or a few bpm either side), and that as a DJ it's nice to be able to not have to change the pitch too much. Surely it wasn't a coincidence that most dubstep was at 140, or most jungle at 160...

It's interesting to see the opprobrium towards discussion around 130 as a label/placeholder here. I think it's fairly clear that the emphasis on 130 is being used as one way of providing a sense of cohesion (in contrast with the protean "post-dubstep"). But if we want to talk genres, then a lot...

Interview + a nice little free tune from Settles: http://www.getsomeuk.com/introducing046-settles/ "I think Blackdown’s on to something when he talks about the whole 130 thing he’s pushing, labelling by tempo makes sense because there are too many different influences involved to pin it down...

Interview and a mix from Rabit for Liminal Sounds. The interview is a good read, with some interesting insights about his exposure to nuum sounds (and grime in particular) while being at a geographical remove (he's from Houston). "As far as grime going on where I am, there’s no scene to speak...

Big up on that one Slackk. Video is perfect too.

Key Mixes: Grievous Angel - Pure Rollage (from the man's blog: http://blog.grievousangel.net/) "OK. Here’s a mix of fresh, deep dub 130. Basically my tribute to Beneath. This is pure rollage. Obviously the Beneath stuff is the best dub in the world right now but there’s lots of good bits in...

Rory Gibb's latest Hypersecific column touches on the 130 thing too: "The aesthetic - epitomised last year by people like Beneath and Visionist - is anchored at that tantalisingly (frustratingly) brief moment in around 2008 when dubstep, grime and funky were blurring together into moody, broken...

Blackdown went all in this month, first with his 2012 roundup: http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.co.nz/2013/02/blackdowns-2012-roundup.html "This section was for me the real heart of 2012 and in truth it’s a flex I’d been long since feeling around for – check my remix of Bias & Gurley “Roll”...
