Concept Chelia - Frozen Nature

This post was supposed to be published long time ago but due to the fact i wasn't here and some other stuff it's published right now. 

Concept Chelia, close friends from Sarajevo recorded this album, published it and released it for free via their website and soundcloud.

This album is very good and when it got out it surprised a lot of people and gained a lot of attention. It comes as no surprise to me because all of them have been making music for quite a while and i think it was actually just a matter of time before something like this emerged. 

Album is kind of ambiental, down tempo, easy-listening electronic music with couple of faster and "heavier" tracks. They say their influences are hiphop, breakbeat, drum and bass, ambiental, ethno etc. and you can actually hear all of those influences in their songs and it sounds really good. They used a lot of ethno sounds and sampled a lot of nice vocals which completes their tracks perfectly. My favourite tracks from this album are Sunset, Irukandji, Cantus Planus, You Call It Love and Where is my Angel. I'm not gonna write much more about this album because i'm subjective a lot but you should give it a listen and if you like it spread the word.

Listen to the whole album below, download the tracks and check their website. If anyone's interested in hard copy of an album hit me up on e-mail or contact the boys directly.

Mosca - Done Me Wrong / Bax out now

Numbers has definitely become one of my favourite labels. They've been putting out some major releases especially that Jamie xx joint couple of months ago. They've just released Mosca - Done Me Wrong / Bax and it's another very strong release. Both tracks are 4x4 rough, heavy bass tracks obviously heavily influenced by UKG. As soon as i've heard Bax i've been heavily hooked, definitely my favourite out of these 2. Listen to them both below and buy the whole release here.

Tribute to Dj Mehdi

Another post about the late Mehdi which had to be done. 2 good reasons are behind that: Mehdi's homage to J Dilla done in 2006 and Feadz tribute mix to Mehdi. His J Dilla tribute was done in 200 copies but now Ed Banger crew unleashed it to the world as a tribute to Mehdi. I'm not going to write much about this and will let the music do the talking. RIP Mehdi.

R.I.P. Dj Mehdi

Internet and especially twitter has been flooded with the sad news about Dj Mehdi. Mehdi has died at the age of 34 following a fatal accident in which he fell from a roof at his home. The incident in which 2 other people have also been hospitalised happened last night.
He started his career as a hiphop dj/producer in a couple of french bands. His career exploded somewhere around 2006 when he signed for Ed Banger label and released 2 albums (Lucky Boy and Lucky Boy at Night) and many other amazing singles, eps and remixes. Most notable include "Signatune", "I am somebody", "Lucky Boy" "Pocket Piano" and many others. Last year he formed a group called Carte Blanche with Riton to release more amazing material. The latest mix Mehdi's recorded was "Tunisian summer mix" which he did last week and you can listen to it on Tsugi website or download it via Megaupload. Annie Mac also gave away the latest Carte Blanche track called Molecules just yesterday which just might be really the last track from Carte Blanche.
My condolences go to his family, friends, whole Ed Banger crew and all music fans who will miss his music.
Mehdi, thanx for all the great music and rest in peace.

Jamie xx mixes

As i said in a previous post I've been almost obsessed with Jamies music whether it's his productions as a part of the xx or his own productions/mixes. I've already posted his mix for Benji B from earlier this year but the latest big news has been his essential mix which has gained diverse reactions from people. Some say it's one of the best they've heard and some say it's not good at all. I enjoyed it a lot and you should give it a go too.

   Jamie xx Essential Mix

Another mix from Jamie that just came out is his FACT mix which might be even better than the essential mix so listen to it on Soundcloud page or grab it directly from here.

If you've not had enough of Jamie be sure to check out his 6 mix in which he plays and talks about the music that influenced him and the Gil Scott Heron remix album.

Summer's been long and i've been enjoying myself a lot. The blog has suffered but i know that many of people will be happy that i'm back and that blog will be updated with new stuff. There's a couple of new things that i'm preparing for the blog and there are some posts waiting to be published.
First things first... I need to write something about music that's been in my headphones this summer. Of course there's been everything and anything but i'm gonna write about newish music (this year). Mix that's been played over and over again during  summer was Jamie xx mix (strangely obsessed with his music) for Benji B from february this year, SBTRKT album which is actually one of the best albums this year. Wiley's album has also been on the playlist alongside Jackmaster and Goldies Fabric mixes and many tracks and mixes by the likes of Canblaster, Sam Tiba, Bambounou, Foamo, AC Slater, Marble Players, Boddika, Joy O, Myd, Dark Sky, Bok Bok, Girl Unit, Roska and many many more. Soon you'll be updated with new music, videos etc. but in the meantime have a listen at this Jamie xx mix and couple of more tracks i've been hooked on lately after the jump. Enjoy
