FREE: Fugees – Fu Gee La (LuqMan Remix)

This remix of the Fugees‘ track Fu Gee La, by Israeli producer LuqMan, was brought to my attention last week by Wrongg who played it as his last selection on our radio show. LuqMan has stripped the track back and then added his own distinctive heaavy groove, which it has to be said is more addictive than crack.

You can actually download the track for FREE via LuqMan’s Soundcloud page…

From Bedroom to Stage: Taking Beats Live

It’s a conundrum that’s faced producers since the dawning of the dance age. Scientists have poured over the problem (possibly), governments have invested billions into researching a solution (probably), but no conclusive agreement has been reached. So, just how do those who make music hidden away in bedroom studios, twiddling knobs and coaxing beats out of fried laptop processors, bring their toiled-over productions into the arena of live performance?! Fear not, Jus Like Music has the answer. Well, a few suggestions at least…

1. The ‘Bended Back Laptop Bash’

Perhaps … [read more]

FREE: Plug – Feeling So Special

So, this one was a bit of a bolt out of the blue. Plug, aka Wagon Christ, aka Luke Vibert, has a load of unreleased d’n’b stuff from 1996 that Ninja Tune are going to drop in January. This material was meant to be post-release of Drum ‘n’ Bass for Papa, which long-time fans of Mr Vibert will no doubt be familiar with.

Anyway, it’s now getting a proper release via Ninja Tune. The album is called Back On Time and … [read more]

VIDEO: DOOM Lecture at RBMA, Madrid

The masked man of independent hip-hop, MF DOOM, was at Red Bull Music Academy last week in Madrid to give a lecture. We covered Red Bull Music Academy when it was in London last year and, as always, it featured a plethora of vastly interesting topics and characters; Moodymann was a particular highlight! Anyway, as part of the first semester at this year’s Academy, MF DOOM came to talk to the participants. He raises some particularly intruiging points regards the use of personas … [read more]

VIDEO: Machinedrum – Where Did We Go Wrong?

More of a visualisation than a straight up music video, but check out this little beauty Machinedrum created for his own track, Where Did We Go Wrong?, from the fantastic Room(s) album.

To be honest, I’d use any excuse to talk about Machinedrum‘s latest album. It’s out right now on Planet Mu and it’s absolutely fantastic. Easily one of the albums of 2011. Anyone who has followed his work over the last few years (and they’ll even be some who have followed him … [read more]
