With the increasingly crowded Wonky movement threatening to implode before it's even begun, Hudmo turns up with his much touted and long-awaited debut for the Warp imprint, featuring 6 impressively tight sequences from one of the more exciting producers of the moment. For our money the good stuff's buried away towards the end of the EP, starting off with B-Side opener 'Speed Stick', shoving the detuned synths way up in the mix with an edgy plucked vibe and nervous stop-start routine that you just about get used to when the track comes to an abrupt end. Just try and dance to that one homeboy. Next up - 'Velvet Peel' ushers in helium vocals for some multicoloured good times, before 'Yonard' ends the Ep with arguably it's finest moment, a rugged, antisocial beat pummels itself into a joyous cacophony before those trusted synths emerge from the mess to make some kind of sense of it all. It's loose, filthy, joyous next-level business and hopefully just the start of a beautiful relationship between Warp and one of its more exciting signees of recent times. Limited to a measly 400 copies only - act sharp!!!!!

I just love it when Japanese guys rock the beat! I think I quite expressed it when Sniper posted the Latin Quarter record. Krush, Shingo, Mitsu etc. All of them are very unique and the best thing in their music is that they aim to create perfect. And it obviously happens so. You may hear now very fine beats from Samon Kawamura, a gifted beatmaker from Japan with the finest guest appearances. Listen and love it!

Californian beatmaker and turntablist Dj Day is one half of the duo Daily Bread (the other half is Aloe Blacc) which I heard first on Sniper's recently posted Dj Ryow mixtape. The beats he produces are influenced by a wide spectrum of different kinds of music. The result is a smooth, soulful and pleasant sound. Peep the guest appearances from Exile and Aloe Blacc as well!

Aim (Andrew Turner) is an English Dj and producer whose style is on the burden somewhere between electronic and hip-hop music. He has produced already 3 solo albums, and in the meantime he also made beats for Niko, whose debut album was posted by Sniper already. This one now is his second album released at Grand Central Records with unique features like Diamond D or the Souls of Mischief. Peace to Chiara in Innsbruck!

CRADLE is a groundbreaking Japanese unit specializing and leading a beautiful revolution in mellow and jazzy Hip Hop track making.
Through their stunning first release “MAKE IT LAST (feat. Aloe Blacc (Emanon)” in 2005 CRADLE were immediately propelled into the spotlight through outstanding success in Japan. MAKE IT LAST was later released in the USA, Europe and Australia.

Their long-awaited debut album “ATTITUDE” streeted in June, 2006 and the albums immense popularity elevated CRADLE in the top tier of Japanese mellow Hip Hop artists, alongside the internationally acclaimed NUJABES and NOMAK at the forefront of the genre in Japan.

As DJs CRADLE play with some of the biggest major and underground Hip Hop artists in Japan including NUJABES, DJ KRUSH, YASUHARU KONISHI (Pizzicato Five), SHUYA OKINO (Kyoto Jazz Massive, DJ KIYO, DJ JIN (Rhymester), DJ MILES (Breakestra), STARVING ARTIST CREW, DJ MITSU , THE BEATS (Gagle), DJ RYOW etc etc.

Pursuing their dream sound (and also partly due to the risks and limitations using sampling) CRADLE (aka CRADLE ORCHESTRA) commenced working hard on creating their own unique “LIVE SOUND”, an exciting, new sound that they have always wanted to create.

By collaborating directly with some amazingly skilled and high profile musicians in Japan CRADLE now incorporate live violin, flute, piano, saxophone, bass, and many more instruments into their track making. This collaboration has resulted in the creation of amazingly beautiful and unique melodies with an incredibly original orchestra type sound……the CRADLE ORCHESTRA sound!

To test the new sound out on the public CRADLE remixed a track by New York’s THE GOOD PEOPLE that was released by the then emerging Japanese label GOON TRAX. When the vinyl release featuring CRADLE’s remix sold out in one day they knew that the Japanese music fans were ready for more of their exciting new sound.

To further hone their skills and define the new sound CRADLE produced an album for internationally acclaimed Japanese pianist HIROKI MIZUKAMI in 2007, by successfully complementing Hiroki’s amazing piano skills with their own orchestra sound the collaboration hit a sweet spot on the Japanese music fans radar and the release was a great hit in Japan.

In 2008 CRADLE has made several remixes (NIEVE , THE ANITIDOTES, INCISE etc) including a remix of New York identity SAINT’s song titled CANT RELATE which appeared as the lead track on the hit Various Artist compilation titled “IN YA MELLOW TONE” released by GOON TRAX by now the new emerging powerhouse label in the Japanese mellow Hip Hop scene.
IN YA MELLOW TONE captured the imagination of fans in Japan and is the biggest selling mellow Hip Hop compilation released in Japan to date and is continuing to sell strongly and introduce thousands of new fans to the genre. The amazing remix by CRADLE played a big role in the success of the release.

CRADLE has continued to work hard on their masterpiece, a new album “VELVET BALLADS” due for release in January 2009 on GOON TRAX and featuring some of the biggest international names in scene, the CRADLE revolution is coming. please stay tuned.

It was just a question of time to drop the bare instrumental version of last year's Illa J release. No one should get me wrong though: no word against Illa J, not at all. The standard vocal version of Yancey Boys was just not enough to satisfy the thirst of Jay Dee fans who may hear now the eternal Dilla sounds in their own intactness.

Earatik Statik-Clean(Single)

Peace friends and a-alikes, I'm back in '09 with a mighty jewel to kick off the new year. Brand new heat from Chi-Town underground stalwarts, Earatik Statik, the crew that dropped one of my favorite 12 inches back in 2004, the joint "Evil Is Timeless" b/w "People Like Us." In 2009 they have reupped again and hooked up with the Soul Brother #1 himself, Pete Rock for the soulful banger, "Tearz" the first single off their forthcoming LP, "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly," which also includes beats by Large Pro, J-Zone, Kaz-1, K-Kruz & Single Minded Pros and guest appearances by Sadat X (on two tracks) & Sean Price. Definitely an LP to watch out for when it drops early this year. You can download the Digi-12" using the link below, which also includes the instrumental.
