A bit of beauty in these harsh times. Highly recommend everything Julia Kotowski (EftBD) has ever done, all beautiful, all worth hearing. All free too, so even better.

Just a little something I made years and years ago. Recently disappeared from the internet as the site it was on culled their archives, so here it is again on Band Camp. It was a labour of love, although possibly not much talent but I’m still happy to have it […]
In fact Klezmer + pretty much anything = success but that’s just stating the obvious. Anyway, an old track from an old Budabeats (home of Suhov and others) release for you today. Technically not a massive innovation but if you can listen to this and not find yourself starting to […]
[bandcamp album=3700813001 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] Some meandering beats, intelligent lyricism and some nice ideas with this Dub tinged Hip Hop album from Ogmios. There’s a good range of concepts from track to track, all in the Conscious Rap (a relatively pointless term I know) vain but clever enough in filling […]
[bandcamp album=4136971838 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande3] A couple of years on from release Mr Loop’s MFtTG still stands out as one of the best free and best UK Hip Hop albums about.

I absolutely fucking adored Titus 12’s last full length album, Dig and Delve (on Sheffield’s Planet Terror netlabel), I played it to death in fact. Then, after a short respite, I revived it’s zombified form and repeated the process and after hearing this collection of early tracks, rarities and other oddities […]
Damscray – Horseboy EP A while back now I took a listen to Russian Hip-Hoppers SCLWN’s album ‘Everything is OK’ and going by my half imagined memories and the fact that it’s still stored on my MP3 player I’m fairly sure that I said lots of nice things about it. […]
The Wagner Logic – Easiest to Grab (Jamendo) The normal habit for people posting their work on Jamendo is to say ‘we can’t define ourselves by a genre’, which is annoying and usually completely untrue but such is life I suppose. A rather more bizarre habit though is to list genres […]
Humberto Luis Schenone – ‘Um Perto’, A Percussion Trip (Clinical Archives) Not sure if it’s the trendy, hip and happening circles I tend to move in or just the nature of the Creative Commons scene but this album has turned out to be a bit of a rarity amongst my recent […]
The Dada Weatherman – The Green Waltz (Jamendo) It’s one of the best bits of Creative Commons music, the fact that you can randomly download something simply because you like the bands name. In fact you can download a dozen albums a day without pausing for a second to think about […]
