Broodlings “Champagne”

Harsh Riddims—a newly founded tape label based in Atlanta, Georgia—has dropped a new compilation to serve as its inaugural release, featuring fresh productions from predominantly South Eastern-based talents such as Divine Interface, Rekchampa, and Atlanta duo Broodlings, whose sleek contribution to the collection is featured here. Built around a lightly jacking rhythm, “Champagne” rolls out a number of digital-age synthlines to ride atop its muted chords and mechanical percussion touches, yielding a production that leans much more into a house sound than we’re used to from the commonly footwork-minded Broodlings pair. In addition to the download offered here, the entire 11-track Harsh Riddims Vol. 1 comp can be streamed after the jump, and the cassette version of the collection can be purchased directly from the label’s Bandcamp.

Delorean Reschedules Fall Tour After Kidnapping, Shares New Video

After the bizarre turn of events that followed Delorean‘s Mexican tour dates and eventually led the Barcelona outift to become victims of an unsettling kidnapping scheme, the group has rescheduled its remaining fall tour dates for early next year.

Video: T. Williams: “Smile (feat. Tendai)”

London-based producer T. Williams (a.k.a. Tesfa Williams) has been touring hard with the likes of Mosca and Disclosure to promote his new Feelings Within EP (out now via PMR), and is now sharing a video from that release’s closing cut, “Smile.” Filmed during Williams’ set at Notting Hill Carnival this year, the video features a vocal performance from Tendai, who serenades the crowd at the front of the stage alongside gyrating dancers. The shimmering house production aims for universal appeal, and achieves an ecstatic, cheerful atmosphere with its buoyant synths and percussion that give us enough reason to believe these visuals weren’t just a sponsored facade.

Erosion Flow “Power City Motives”

Danish producer Erosion Flow (a.k.a. Henrik Koefod) recently signed to George FitzGerald‘s rising ManMakeMusic label, and is giving us the pleasure of premiering an outtake before his debut EP drops early next year. “Power City Motives” is an unvarnished slab of gritty house, with each carefully chosen sonic element banded together for maximum rhythmic impact. Bass rules on this cut—the kick drum, sub frequencies, and other low-end textures dominate the mix as hyped-up vocal samples recite Koefod’s “straight-up” intentions.

Hodge Preps New 12″ for Punch Drunk; Preview It Now

After linking up with Punch Drunk label head Peverelist for the XLR8R Pick’d “Bells (System Mix)” b/w “Bells (Dream Sequence)” 12″ earlier this year, Bristol producer Hodge will return to the hometown imprint in order to flex some solo muscle on a new 12″. The forthcoming “Resolve” b/w “Prototype Fear” is said to find Hodge “combining thumping, broken jungle-techno and modern-era Bristolian dub aesthetics” across the record’s two tracks. Fortunately, where those words still leave the music’s exact sound up to the imagination, the audio preview for the 12″—which can be heard below—fills in the gaps, providing two large chunks of audio for listeners to sink their teeth into before Hodge’s 12″ sees an official release on November 4.

Listen to DJ Rashad’s ‘Double Cup’ LP for Hyperdub

Merely two months after it was announced, DJ Rashad‘s first full-length album for Hyperdub, Double Cup, can now be heard in its entirety. The 14-track LP of breakneck footwork tunes follows soon after the Chicago artist’s solid Rollin’ and I Don’t Give a Fuck EPs, and features a slew of collaborations with the likes of DJ Spinn, DJ Earl, Addison Groove, DJ Manny, and more. DJ Rashad’s Double Cup LP will drop on October 22, but before then, it can be streamed in full here, courtesy of Pitchfork Advance.

Kyle Hall Announces New EP

Detroit producer Kyle Hall has been a buzzed-about, Motor City fixture since his adolescence, and after sharing a new remix offering for Mount Kimbie’s upcoming EP, the young artist has announced a sort of addendum to his debut album The Boat Party. Aptly titled The Boat Party Bonus EP, Hall’s latest record avoids remix filler in favor of four original cuts—including “12 Doors,” a collaborative effort with the Bologna-based duo Nas1, as well as Hall’s own “2k13” version of album cut “Flemmenup.” Dropping in November via the producer’s Wild Oats imprint, The Boat Party Bonus EP’s tracklist and artwork can be perused below.

A1. “Need Sum!”
A2. “Skeeter!”
B1. “12 Doors (feat. Nas1)”
B2. “Flemmenup 2k13 mix”

Video: Om Unit “The Silence”

London producer Om Unit (a.k.a. Jim Coles) dabbles in jungle, footwork, and assorted bass-centric styles, and after sharing an off-album cut from his upcoming debut LP, Threads (out on October 28 via Civil), the artist has shared a hypnotic music video for one of its tracks. Created by Tim Fox, “The Silence”‘s cinematic, computer-generated visuals detail an astronaut’s journey through foreign, inexplicable worlds. Featuring vocals from Jinadu—who also plays a starring role in the astronaut exosuit—the soaring R&B of Om Unit’s production pairs well with its tonal flickers of jungle and classic dubstep.
