It may seem like XLR8R is in the midst of Numbers fever this week, with our TURRBOTAX® and Icee Hot events in NYC and SF this weekend set to cross paths with two of the imprint’s flagship artists, Deadboy and Jackmaster, and now this news of a new EP from the label’s multifaceted beatsmith Redinho to come next month. Following up on his excellent Bare Blips EP, the UK-based producer has four new tracks to present on the forthcoming Edge Off EP, which run the gamut of future-bass production styles, from the funk-infused title track to a rolling-synth percussive banger, “Power Look,” and juke-inspired “Slap.” No word yet on the official release date (Numbers’ site only lists April 2011), but fortunately the label has provided a sampler of Edge Off, which you can stream below while checking out the forthcoming EP’s artwork and tracklist.

Parisian DJ/producer Sebastian has been a part of Ed Banger‘s electro-house takeover since nearly the beginning (back in 2005), but only now is he prepping the release of his debut full-length record, called Total. The 22-song LP is scheduled to drop on May 5, and will feature guest appearances from the likes of M.I.A., Mayer Hawthorne, and Gaspard Augé of Justice who aids in production on “Tetra.” “Embody” is the first single to leak off Sebastian’s album, and will be available on April 5.

German tech house producer Holger Behn (a.k.a. H.O.S.H.) has a new single in the works, and this time it won’t be released through his usual Diynamic home. Instead, the Mobilee sister imprint Leena Music will drop his “Tour De Fonque” 12″ on March 28. The three-track record will feature the title track, a tune called “Dead and Alive” that features Taprikk Sweezee, and an “Agogo Dub” version of that latter song. You can check out the label art for H.O.S.H.’s forthcoming single below.

May 9 will see the release of the latest collection of mind-bending, fast-paced dancefloor tunes crafted by Chicago juke/footwork/ghetto house scholar Chrissy Murderbot. The producer will drop his new Women’s Studies LP—boasting such excellent/sexist song titles as “Heavy Butt” and “Jiggle”—via Planet Mu, which is preceded by this funny music video for “Bussin’ Down.” The piece opens with Chrissy Murderbot and DJ Spinn sitting on a couch, both looking bored as could be. Next, Chrissy gets the idea to pop in his Bussin’ Down cartridge into the videogame console, and after the pair get into a heated footwork battle à la Street Fighter II, things start to get a bit more exciting—even a little weird. You can check out that video up top, and peep the artwork and tracklist for the forthcoming Women’s Studies record below.

It’s the news that many (if not just about all) of us have been waiting for: Only two weeks after we heard his collaborative tunes with Four Tet and Thom Yorke, the elusive dubstep producer known as Burial will release his first solo productions in over four years. The three-song Street Halo 12″ drops this coming Monday, March 28, on vinyl via Hyperdub, and will be available April 18 in digital formats. The record includes the title track on the a-side, and the cuts “NYC” and “Stolen Dog” on the b-side. Apparently, Kode9 will be sharing “tasters” of the new material tonight on Benji B’s Radio 1 show. You can also pre-order Burial’s new record on Bleep, here.

UK producer Subeena has certainly been stepping up her output recently. Earlier this month, she released a retrospective album of hard-to-find old material, and next week, the genre-hopping artist will unveil an all-new EP on her own Opit label. The three-track digital release, Wrong for Me, finds Subeena moving even further away from her dubstep roots, alternately exploring mellower atmospherics and acid-based tones while embracing house-oriented tempos and song structure. She’s an artist who continues to evolve, and we’re happy to simply sit back and observe the process. Listen to all three tracks and check out the artwork below.
