No Pain In Pop

Cabriolet

Is the future something to step into, or something that comes hunting you? It’s a lonely traipse, one moment to the next. Never quite sure who’ll make it with you. Jah Pat’s latest mix finds comfort in tomorrow dirt, suggests the absence of clean moments dislocated from each other. If this gleams it’s ’cause someone wants it that way. No purity without purification.

Come to the Old Blue Last tomorrow night, the 20th of March. It is free.

Nail the Cross 2009

No Pain In Pop and Adventures in the Beetroot Field’s annual festival of new bands, producers and art - Nail the Cross - is taking place on Saturday October 10th in our native New Cross. After last year’s trist with Domino, we’re pleased to announce that this year we’ve got the good people at Hyperdub involved. To celebrate their upcoming fifth anniversary they’ll be hosting a stage with the legendary Kode9 + Spaceape, Joker, Ikonika and a very exciting live set from Darkstar. There’s lots beyond this too - with Hudson Mohawke, Banjo or Freakout, Male Bonding, Arch M, Forest Swords, Trailer Trash Tracys and many more playing - as well as art curated by Off Modern and Take Courage. Click the poster for the full line up, read more details and then buy limited £10 tickets here.

Here’s a teaser of what to expect from the Hyperdub side of things - an Ikonika set from Ustream last night.

NPIP + FACT = WKND

…And it’s heavy. But no standing there with licked finger to the air trying to catch our drift. Go see the magi collective over at FACT magazine for a download link, tracklist after ‘the jump’.

Enormous thanks to the gentleman Jah Pat for a mix that hulks and struts and swells and rattles and bounces and baulks the best. Thanks too to FACT for asking after us.

Enjoy your weekends’.

Hyperdubbing

Bassland barometer Kode9 was on Benji B’s 1Xtra show in the early hours of this morning, as around an hour was dedicated to showcasing his pioneering Hyperdub label, the ranks of which guarantee fine listening. Kode plays out tracks from Ikonika, Darkstar, Cooly G and LV, as well as a new vinyl cut of his own, ‘Black Sun’ out in March. Oh, there’s a couple of world exclusive first plays of new Burial tracks, too.

Listen here; full tracklist after ‘the jump’.

Irate Radio

Heads down, hoods up - low-bit transmitters throb through Union walls to tear down Next City; razed by vollies of gilded treble and low-slung dubshots. Jah Pat’s first No Pain In Pop mix plays like a year’s best of, featuring the choicest of deep, doomsday slabs from Quest and Silkie, as well as the hi-tech clatter of Martyn’s ‘Suburbia’ and Zomby’s apt pair ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Strange Fruits’. Full track list after the jump.
