I had this on my headphones during work today and couldn’t help but do a headnod. Robotic dubstep mostly.
It’s a mix by The Others and MC Roguestar called ‘Keep Watch - Volume 3′.

In an effort to shine a light on the unknown artists and songs that pass through the mailbox of a music blogger, this semi-regular series will pick the artists most deserving of attention from nialler9 readers.
Au - ‘Are Animals’
You may have heard of Au, an experimental pop band from Portland. This song sounds a little like Animal Collective I’ll admit, but do AC have a 20-strong vocal chorus? No? Well Au do, I shit you not. This is from their album Verbs.
Oceansea - ‘The Whimsical River’
Really, really enjoying the From The Bedroom Floor EP from Portugal’s Daniel Catarino aka Oceansea. So can you as it’s a free download under a Creative Commons licence. Nice.
Tobacco - ‘Truck Sweat’
Tobacco is a member of Black Moth Super Rainbow...
Vinny is a giver not a taker so for the duration of today only (his birthday), you can download a zipped cake to celebrate. Download the cake (before the link expires at midnight) which features …ah I can’t tell you! It’s a deadly surprise.
Vinny plays Soundcheck tomorra night......
While we’re on the subject there’s a teasure trove of albums by quality electronic artists being released through Netlab which aims to be an audiovisual assault system, fueled by user submission through a Creative Commons License.
27 artists have contributed thus far. Here’s some of the highlights:
The Schwarzenegger Series - releases inspired by Arnie and his films. Ebola’s Predator a 6 track dubstep-jungle/gabba workout, inspired by the film ???Predator???. Check out Chris Moss Acid’s Commando riposte, Ital Tek’s Terminator 2 tribute or Synthamesk’s Raw Deal Arnie-toting release.
DJ Jo Quaid’s 29 minute of cassette-mastered 8bit classics.
The admittedly rather unpleasant mix of Romanian Folk and digital noise that is Romanian Myth....

I wasn’t a big fan of Explosions in the Sky’s latest All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone but I’ve been listening to 2005’s The Rescue EP over the weekend and it’s excellent. Best of all, it’s free to download! The recording process was somewhat different to how the band usually do things as they explain.
It can take us months and months and months to write even a song. Sometimes it comes much quicker, but often we spend many an afternoon trying out new melodies and riffs and drum beats, playing things over and over, obsessing and arguing and sighing and sitting silently for what seems to be hours on end. So, for this, our idea was to write and record a song every day for two weeks (this later became eight days) and the rest of the two weeks would be spent...
