Everything Is Borrowed (Pilot)

Everything Is Borrowed (Pilot) by Casualsi on Mixcloud

I came to this world with nothing and I leave with nothing but love, everything else is just borrowed...

Everything Is Borrowed is an hour long radio show delving into the art of the remix, cover version, Re-Edit, loop digging, sample robbery, hook burglary and noise thievery....

You can listen to the pilot for Everything Is Borrowed by clicking the image above. If all goes well the show could be hitting the airwaves in some shape or form in the very near future, naturally I shall keep you posted.

Until then.... Enjoy

MyOwn - Crazy In Love

I look and stare so deep in your eyes, I touch on you more and more everytime...

Recently there has been an influx of producers remixing and editing R&B tracks, some better than others. Jacques Greene mastered the art on Another Girl and Kelly Rowland's Motivation and techno head Blawan got the Resident Advisor track of 2011 with his take on Brandy's Wanna Be Down. Now it looks like there is a new producer who is biting at the heels of these dance music heavyweights going by the name of MyOwn.

I stumbled across this edit courtesy of Throwing Snow after he posted it via his Fuckbook page and I am eternally grateful to him for doing so. There isn't much information out there about MyOwn except that he/she is Russian and enjoys a nice smoke now and again...

"Hi here in russia we are poor like africa but its cold so if do a small 10$ donation i could buy some POT and make a personal free download track with my blessing for a brother or sister who helped and inspired me."

Probably whilst high MyOwn created an absolutely sublime edit of Beyonce's Crazy In Love which I have been listening to at least twice a day for the past few weeks. With a simply crafted beat and mournful chords layered underneath Beyonce & Jigga's vocals the original is completly flipped on it's head. This is addictive listening, now if only I could get a download I would be a happy man...

Lapalux - Gutter Glitter

Halfway between the gutter and the stars...

It’s been a while since I put the modern equivalent of pen to paper and actually written about some music, so to start off 2012 I bring you the delectable sounds of Lapalux.

Stuart Howard aka Lapalux has been on my radar for a while now after hearing his Many Faces Out Of Focus EP released via our good friends at Pictures Music. Many Faces Out Of Focus showcases Lapalux’s expertise in creating moody, complex electronic music awash with layers of noise and hints of R’n’B. Following this astonishing debut he has also fired out some incredible edits of Gwen Stefani & AlunaGeorge which have been on constant rotation on my headphones recently.

It seems that Lapalux’s sonic rhythm + blues has made enough noise to get noticed across the pond by none other than the mighty Brainfeeder camp with Lapalux releasing his latest EP When You’re Gone via the prolific label on February 7. With the Brainfeeder family behind him it looks like this latest release is going to open up a lot of doors for Mr Howard and introduce a whole new legion of fans to one of the UK’s finest and most innovative producers.

Listen to Gutter Glitter below or you can cop it via Pitchfork for absolutely nothing. For a cheeky taster of his forthcoming release you can take a listen to a sampler of When You're Gone here.

Radiohead - King Of Limbs Remixes

All I want is the moon on a stick, just to see what if......

It is no secret that Thom Yorke and his cronies have always been lovers of electronic music. From the early beginnings of Radiohead the band have grown from being a typical ’rock’ band into an innovative, alternative and thought provoking group. Over the years electronics have crept their way slowly but surely into the Radiohead sound; from their now classic Kid A LP with its techno infused anthem Idioteque all the way through to their most recent opinion dividing album The King Of Limbs. Whilst not recording with Radiohead Thom Yorke has found time to remix DOOM’s track Gazillion Ear and collaborate with some of underground electronics finest producers including Four Tet, Burial and Flying Lotus. Not only that but he has given people a view into his musical mind with his genre hopping DJ sets at venues across the world including Flying Lotus’ Low End Theory, London dance haven Plastic People and his secret DJ slot at this year’s Glastonbury with long time Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.

Now Radiohead have given up tracks from their latest album to some of their favourite producers to get behind the buttons for a series of vinyl released remixes and I have to say the Oxford boys have got great taste. The first duo to get the nod were Caribou’s Dan Snaith and Montreal based Jacques Greene which was then promptly followed by Nathan Fake and Mark Pritchard a.k.a Harmonic 313 taking over the reins, and I’m glad to say Radiohead aren’t stopping there. The next two instalments of the remix series include the likes of Lone, Pearson Sound, Four Tet, Thriller, Illum Sphere and Shed. Not only that but the series looks sure to continue for at least six to seven editions if the email I received from Radiohead’s official website is anything to go by. So I’d keep my eyes peeled if I were you....

“We’re not EXACTLY sure how many there will be in the series as more remixes are still coming in, but we think it will be around 6 or 7.”

Each of the 12” can be picked up from independent record stores across the country or from the King of Limbs store. If vinyl isn’t your thing you can also get your hands on them digitally here.

Take a listen to the third edition of the series from Lone, Pearson Sound and Four Tet below:

Paul White - Trust

I told you to trust me, because in the meantime I'll be here....

Paul White is undoubtedly one of the hardest working producers to grace God’s green earth; this man’s work ethic is incredible. He first came to my attention with his debut LP The Strange Dreams of Paul White. The mainly instrumental album is like a vortex into the producers musical mind; psychedelic, trippy, sample heavy hip-hop at its finest. Paul White is the UK’s answer to Madlib, take one listen to his debut and you’ll know what I mean. If you don’t believe me just click this link where you can get the whole album for free from forward thinking label One Handed Music.

Soon after his debut came Sounds From the Skylight named after his London attic studio The Skylight. Although Sounds From the Skylight didn’t venture too far from the sound he mastered on his debut it saw a slightly more experimental production style being developed. This set him up nicely to take us on the acid laced journey of his third LP Paul White and the Purple Brain. Paul White was given access to the back catalogue of cult Swedish psyche guitarist S.T Mikael and he jumped at the chance. Using his MPC mastery he delved further into the trippy hip hop unknown with incredible results.

Now he is back with his fourth album in two years Rapping with Paul White. Hip-Hop has always been his first love and this album has given him a chance to collaborate with some of his favourite MC’s including Danny Brown, Homeboy Sandman, Tranqill, Jehst and Guilty Simpson. The first single to be lifted from the LP is Trust featuring Guilty Simpson. Veteran rapper Guilty Simpson lays down his impeccable Detroit slang over a dark distorted horn laden beat provided by White. Not content with giving away his debut LP for free the good people at One Handed Music are giving away three tracks from Rapping with Paul White for free as well. Just head over to Paul White Music where you can find the link to download the three tracks or pre-order the album. I've ordered my copy and I highly recommend you do the same!
