there’s a heap of great tunes, release info, links, ideas, trivia, new religions etc that arrive in the fat planet mailbox each week. most of this generally gets consigned to a folder marked ‘pending, sometime, soon’, but i’m hoping to rectify that on an occasional basis, starting right now:
– dj chief boima, who recently befriended the uber lingua crew on his australian travels, put together this mix following the recent fat planet post on stade’s blues / hip hop blend.
zshare: DJ CHIEF BOIMA hip hop blues mix
– new funk mundial release from man recordings is out now, volume four in the series. features a great, fat bass-driven production from bugz in the attic’s seiji and vocals from brasilian mc dolores. soon from man rec: viennese production crew makossa & megablast feat. gaiola on the next mundial, baile funk masters #4 with dj amazing clay, plus new releases from edu k & stereoytp and an artist album from deize tigrona.
– the agriculture label have released a new mix for download, titled global steps (deep mix). mixed by dj natural sphere, it features burial, cyrus & random trio, badawi, dead can dance, dj olive and more.
