Some of these tracks have been around for a while (Alexandroid, RA the Rugged Man and Snowboy - actually one of the first albums I owned) mixed up with a bunch of newer numbers. Given that US Thanksgiving has just passed, I might as well go ahead and say it: I give thanks for all these artists plugging away in their respective genres. Hope you enjoy.

Shiela Chandra – Ever So Lonely ‘the ocean refuses no river’ love the line, not quite sure what the hell sheila chandra is on about. too much time on the ashram munching space cakes, if you ask me. Rockabye Baby – All Apologies apparently, according to spin, it’s 20 years since nirvana’s nevermind burst on the scene making grunge accessible to accountants everywhere. with the rockabye project those accountants now have suitable ammunition to send their grand kids to slumberland. Dan Deacon – Snookered dan deacon set himself out on a trajectory which severly limited his chances of appearing on ‘idol’ (american or otherwise). thankfully the good ship deacon still sails close to that arc. Santana – Jingo santana hits up jingo. a more tribal rendetion regales the quaint new-colonial ‘the endless summer‘ documentary. Tyler the Creator – Radicalz (NewFuture Remix) jazz, jazz, jazz. gutteral sax strapped to a military beat as amp live takes on tyler. The Smoking Time Jazz Club – Shake That Thing next up new orlean’s smoking time jazz band school us on shaking our thing… lessons take place regularly on street corners across nola. George Krantz – Din Daa Daa din daa daa… one of the weirder things to come out of the disco era. man vs drum kit. recently graced the dancefloor at oakland’s layover. Hollywood Holt, Million $ Mano – The Show so, who want’s to see the show? The Uma Uma Truth List – PEACE!!! shouty, gangly. Borgore – Sunsets (featuring Diplo) Very deceptive: from shoegaze to spaz-out. some could say grating. i say addictive. The Mountain Goats – Damn These Vampires don’t let this one get in your head. featured on the excellent Merge sampler available from those nice folk at Amazon. Memoryhouse – Lady Troisieme delicate ambient balladry. Another Green World – Another Green Waltz i never got to whirl-y-gig. this strange slab of woodwind makes me want to chalk this up on my list of regrets.

I've been sitting on this mix for a little while now. I just keep getting pulled back into it. I'd go as far as to say it's redefining the music I follow and play. Jubilee is a young turk from Brooklyn who is building up a reputation for serving up some of the rawest beats out there. Picking on producers as diverse as Bok Bok, Wiley, Roska, DJ Eastwood and Schlachthofbronx, the mix starts at pace and just keeps on sizzling. I love the raw clanging of the French Fries' Predator (Tomb Crew Remix) as it bleeds into the atonal warblings of WILDLIFE!'s Jumbie. I did start investigating French Fries and came across this stunner on Youtube from the Frenchman: For more on Jubilee and the full tracklisting, check out XLR8R.

Well, here in SF we're still not quite there yet, but let's start getting in the mood. I originally posted part 1 of this J Period Dancehall Soundclash mix last year, and due to demand am offering up part 2 here. There's no let-up in intensity, and we find ourselves once more engulfed in a heady concoction of dancehall, reggaeton, ragga, hip-hop and a spattering of jump-up pop classics.

We start in rock fringes with raw fuzzed out guitar chords leading to Nick Cave's bastard punk croonings. Before we know it, we're up to our ears in fringe dance, or as the man Forrest puts it: "it’s like dubstep finally embraced it’s suburban IDM roots and the result is a freedom of sound that only happens really infrequently" That man Forrest is an interesting being. According his Wikipedia entry (oh god, is any of it true?), he's one and the same as Donna Summer and runs the Nightshifters label with DJ Jubilee. Maybe I'm slow, but this mix was a real grower on me. Much of its charms were lost on my first breeze-through. I'm feeling it stronger now. It's worth it just for the quite beautiful shake-down into Piotr Kurek's 'School Boy' about 27 mins in. Just in case you're interested in any of these sharp tracks, there's a detailed tracklisting here.
