DOWNLOAD: Jimmy Edgar - Hot Raw Sex (Instra:mental Remix)

Seems like German record label !K7 have been commissioning some really insightful remixes of Jimmy Edgar to promote the release of his new album 'XXX' as fresh of the back of the Machinedrum rework we posted on last month they've dropped us the Instra:mental rework to give away.

Instra:mental of course are a duo of producers pushing the deep, spacious half time drum & bass through their NonPlus label and their heavily analog take on dubstep tempoed music released on respected labels like Apple Pips and [nakedlunch]. Reportedly the final 2 'layers' in their and dBridge's Autonomic podcast series are due imminently too - keep an eye on http://club-autonomic.com for those to drop.

DOWNLOAD: Jimmy Edgar - Hot Raw Sex (Machinedrum Remix)

Without trying to dumb down the language we're somewhat passionate about (insert pun about hard ons and alliteration here) at Sonic Router; Machinedrum is the shit. As half of Sepalcure he's made an awesome EP for Scuba's Hotflush imprint, he tore it out of the Lucky Me stage at Sonar to the delight of everyone who wasn't packed into the main hanger watching Chemical Brothers...



...and he just dropped a free-mix of Jimmy Edgar's 'Hot Raw Sex' - a tune thats been doing the rounds on the internet for a while now.

Word.

RECOMMENDED: Sepalcure - Love Pressure EP [Hotflush]

Sepalcure’s Love Pressure EP serves as yet another reminder of how easy it’s been to love Scuba’s label over the last couple of years; as much as he’s managed to unearth some wonderfully obscure talents, it proves even more impressive that each seems to slot perfectly into the label’s wider aesthetic. I don’t think I’ve heard a Hotflush release recently that sounded like anything other than a Hotflush release; the fractured techno of Sigha’s recent Shake EP is as attuned to the whole as Mount Kimbie’s Crooks & Lovers album or Ramadanman and dBridge’s recent Autonomic-styled forays. Sepalcure are another weapon in their already sizeable arsenal.

The Brooklyn-borne Love Pressure EP is apparently the result of a ‘cathartic two week collaboration’ between Praveen and Machinedrum, and its swift gestation shows. All four tracks could almost have been recorded live, were it not for the delicate sample work throughout. Sepalcure’s music is coated in a thin haze of vinyl crackle, lending it a spontaneous, bedroom session feel far removed from the glossy sheen favoured by more dancefloor oriented producers. Which isn’t to say these tracks aren’t danceable – second track and EP highlight ‘Down’ is fiendishly so – but more that they reveal far more with careful inspection.

There’s a nervy, wide-awake feel to everything on here that seems to work in total opposition to the music’s ethereal fuzz. It’s akin to a sensation of chemically induced wakefulness at a time when you really ought to be asleep; elements emerge in turn before sinking again into the background as the attention moves elsewhere. Those focal points tend to be the vocal snippets that punctuate each track, which brim with crisp vitality and set up a delicious tension against their lo-fi backing. That conflict ramps up the energy quotient considerably, especially on the EP’s second side with the slower ‘Every Day Of My Life’ and the shimmering synthplay of ‘The Warning’. Once it ends, it’s almost impossible not to flip the record and start again.
