DOWNLOAD: Jay Scarlett - CCC Promo Mix

Jay Scarlett is basically... the dude. His tireless work curating the Beat Dimensions compilations has had a massive impact on the musical direction of many producers, and made a lot of ears prick up and understand that this new wave of beat music has legs far beyond the first Flying Lotus record. The man himself has put together a new promo mix in honour of the Creative Control Coalition night, which launches at The New Empowering Church in Hackney on Saturday 19th June, so any London bods not making the trip to Barcelona's Sonar festival should take note.

Featuring acts like Jay, Om Unit, Morgan Zarate, Subeena and Amalgamation of Soundz tickets are a ten sheet and come with a free copy of the CCC compilation which you can stream at the link below.



Gumpf:

The Creative Control Coalition (CCC) is a new, innovative not-for-profit organisation dedicated to representing, connecting and supporting independent creative organisations and individuals in order to encourage and nurture collaborative work for the benefit of all involved.

The shared mission of the coalition is to work together and grow stronger in order to keep on loving what we do so that we can keep on doing what we love. Artists and labels who make up the CCC are concerned with creating, promoting and selling their work but have made an informed decision to do this independently of the confines and compromises that relinquishing creative control of their work would inevitably bring.

Portland raised, LA based beat maker devonwho is the nuts. Releasing his stew of seriously warped head nodding heat on labels like Rush Hour, Fat City and his own Klipmode imprint he's got our full attention right about now.

Perfect timing then that he's releasing a re-worked version of his album 'Funraiser Vol 1: Thumbtracks' for free via bandcamp. Featuring versions by people like P.U.D.G.E, Shlohmo, TOKiMONSTA, Matthew David and Teebs its well worth the 0.0003 of a calorie you'll exert by clicking on the below link.

VIDEO: Dynooo - Gum Dragon EPK

Unannounced (well he had to announce it for me to know about it... what I think I'm trying to say here is "I just got sent this out of the blue, just now") dopeness from Belgium's Dynooo. His 'Gum Dragon' EP will be out on the Digsville label later this month, so peep the EPK he's circulated below and DL the freebie.

It's really rather splendid; plus its got this kind of maniacal, murder-type-of slow brooding vibe across the way...
