SPATIAL

SAMURAI FM recently featured a live dj set from SPATIAL at TACTILE. The whole mix is great and also features both sides of the forthcoming WNCL001 release. Thanks, Matt!

Check it here



Also check his excellent INFRASONICS imprint which has a beautifully designed back catalogue of quality 10" singles and 12" EP's.

URB

The kind folk at SONIC ROUTER have reviewed WNCL001 over at their monthly review column for URB's online mag.

GEORGINA COOK

I recently had the pleasure of meeting GEORGINA COOK, photographer to the dubstep allstars and SLAVOJ ZIZEK fan. We successfully avoided getting kicked out of West Norwood Library (the real one) and got a few nice shots amongst the bookshelves and outside in the glorious Norwood sunshine.

More to come on Georgina's DRUMS OF THE SOUTH blog

Thanks, Georgie!

WNCL001 - Mary Anne Hobbs

WHAT IT IS (Original Mix) will be getting an airing on MARY ANNE HOBBS' BBC Radio 1 show tonight / tomorrow morning, 2-4am. Exciting.

UNIQUE 3 - Black Art Remixes

OUT NOW!

FROM THE MUTATE RECORDS WEBSITE
Part two of Unique 3's 'Take This Love' is the closely related sequel to the critically acclaimed 'Take This Love', which is riding high as IDJ Breaks 'Top Tune' of the month...

The Black Art Mixes are a selection of lost or misplaced remixes found down the back of the studio sofa, stuck in car cd players or simply mistakenly overseen amongst the massive stack of demo's that sits in the Mutate HQ.
