Project from RCA graduate, Benjamin Newland. Best explained in his own words below, the possibilities this opens up are interesting. Sound systems in clubs are largely big immovable stacks designed so the sound stays pretty much the same throughout the room. Here however the sound is completely different dependent on where you are in the [...]
So #pipedown03 is tomorrow. Jeez. Airhead is the only person we haven’t featured on the blog thus far even though he could well be the most interesting. After the Pembroke EP with James Blake, a tune on Scuba’s Sub:stance compilation and a mix on Mary Anne Hobbs the rest of 2010 promises to be an [...]
#pipedown03 is this Saturday and I’m really pleased to be able have Rylski playing. He’s part of the Pipedown family and though you’ll probably never have heard of him before hopefully that will change soon. For me, the tunes I’ve been sent by the enigmatic producer are amongst those that I’ve played the most and [...]
Pipedown03 is just over a week away now, we’re excited and I hope you are too. Here’s some music courtesy of Xxxy to get you in the mood and as a taster of what to expect on the night. Xxxy is another artist that I first came across courtesy of the Fabric Elevator Music comp [...]
Rumblejazz is someone doing really good things at the moment, his contribution to our mix series has been one of the best recieved and his operations somewhere between dubstep, garage and house with a heavy focus on synth wizardery continue to impress. Fool For Sure was one of the songs that has stood out the [...]
I can’t believe I’ve slept on this mix from Planet Mu boss Mike Paradinas (aka µ-zik).

Our next mix in the series comes from H.U.D. (Hang Up DJ). Although now residing in East London his history is set in America and then Berlin. He runs a series of sick parties here in London where the emphasis is on DJ skills, an open policy where DJs can play music other than what [...]
The latest FACT mix comes courtesy of Addison Groove and it’s exactly why we’re so excited for him to play #pipedown03. Alongside the juke that you’d expect from Rashad and Spinn the mix starts with booty electro from Detroit Grand Pubahs before wandering off through mutant house from Altered Natives and some of the Night [...]
It’s been too long, really, too damn long. Not from lack of trying but here’s our next night. We’re still taking over The Rhythm Factory but this time it’s on a Saturday (3rd July) and it’s free entry all night. Yes you heard, free entry all night. Playing on the night :- ADDISON GROOVE JAMES [...]
Friends and runners of top blog Squeegie have just hit one year in the game and to celebrate they’ve asked Sduk, myself and a load of other DJs and producers to do mixes for them. The other mixes are well worth checking from Rumblejazz, Jamtech Foundation, LA Boxers, Neoteric and some of the Squeegie crew, [...]
