Hyetal - Highrise mix

Far out mix from up-and-coming Bristolian dubstep producer welds fresh tracks from Gemmy, Guido and himself on this bass crumbling collection for the Highrise Clothing blog (which has recently been taken down, so i thought it more than worth a repost here) and with a bunch of releases this year on Formant, Soul Motive, and Reduction Records, he's definitely a name to look out for.
"When listening to his music, the reason for the hype that is surrounding him becomes instantly apparent; his subtle, yet assured use of melody and harmony, along with his delicate use of percussion, creates a sonic fragility that is full of energy and emotion."

Chikinki - EXPERIMENT WITH MOTHER (Sink and Stove)2001.

Bristol electro-punks Chikinki formed after the guitarist brought a 12 track back to the house, absent-mindedly recorded a guitar part and came back a few weeks later to find the rest of his flatmates had filled in the rest. By the time several fully-fledged songs had mysteriously appeared that way, a house-meeting was called and a decision that they should probably get a band together and start playing live. Chikinki, unleash a cavalcade of heavily distorted vocals, howling guitars and electro sqiggles but the real strength of 'Experiment With Mother' is that it retains a claustrophobic, seedy edge with weird moments of beautifully warped melody.

VA. - Do It Again (A Tribute To Pet Sounds)

In Do It Again, there are renditions that chase the footsteps of the original versions, but from a sort of parallel roads, while others break the mould directly. The sum of different personalities provides a sense of constant surprise: just imagine Will Oldham and Patrick Wolf in the same record, or Nobody and Daniel Johnston.The treatments from all of the bands on this disc are solid and beautiful. Get ready to hear Pet Sounds the way I think it was intended to sound- creepy and far out.
