A collection of free Dubstep mixes from Skream, Skulldisco, Bunzer0, N-Type, Kode9 and many others. This aims to be a definitive list of all the places to get great Dubstep Mixes. If you know of any I haven’t listed (I’m sure there’s loads) add a comment or email me.
I was planning on making a list of the best music videos of 2007, but its time to look forward to the future people. Or at least the recent past!
2008 seemed pretty futuristic when I was growing up, I figured we would be zooming around on hover-boards in silver suits eating pills for food. I never will forgive television for raising my hopes so high only for them to be dashed against the rocks of disappointment, or something.
One thing I never thought about was that one day we would be able to watch videos online, which might explain why I’m blogging right now not being paid to theorise about the future.
Maybe these audio-visual treats will help you (and me) to overcome the disappointment that is living in the future.
1. Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor
Hot Chip have a knack for great videos. Lots of bright colors and geeks dancing, what more could you want?
2. Boris - Statement
Perhaps not the most exciting video ever but the song is great. Experimental Japanese Doom anyone? For the epic album Smile.
3. Art Brut - Pump Up The Volume
Art Brut have always been pretty ‘meta’ and tongue-in-cheek (their first single was called ‘[We] Formed A Band’) so I’m going to assume this wasn’t really filmed for an Australian television station. EMI didn’t actually tell the band they were releasing this single, which seems a little bit rude.
4. Kanye West - Flashing Lights
We all know that Kanye throws a hissy fit if his videos don’t receive enough attention so I’ve put this one in at number 1. If you find rappers being killed with shovels by women in fancy lingerie offensive, don’t watch this (sorry, that might have given away the plot a bit).
5. MGMT - Time To Pretend
This video is amazing, if somewhat un-embedable. As The Complete Sound points out, ” Record labels seem to have forgotten that videos are PROMOTIONAL material”. Below is a link to the hi-res version. Click if you like flying dolphins, tribal themes and really low quality effects. This is my favourite song of the year so far, by far.
A gift from me to you! Or more accurately from Justice to you. Click the link below to download this great mix from the creators of one of the best albums of 2007 (reviews)
The story goes thus: crazy Parisian electro duo Justice where asked by Fabric to create a mix to be released as part of their ongoing Fabriclive series. They did this but the mix was rejected (god knows why) so they leaked it onto the interwebs as an xmas gift to their fans. As you can see by the tracklisting its not really a christmas mix as such, so don’t be put off by thoughts of hastily added sleigh bell sound effects.
