Been listening to various bits over the last couple of months. Here’s a list of recommended listens amongst my latest iPod rotations. Check the last.fm page for more.

El-P - I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead - Definitive Jux
El Producto does it again. Raps, beats and atmosphere like no one else. Gets better with every listen. Grimey, dark and oppressive at times but so enjoyable.

2tall presents Dudley & Georgia - Beautiful Mindz - Eclectic Breaks
This one isn’t out till the summer, but when it does you want to make sure you grab it. 2tall mans the boards, offering beautifully varied beats for Dudley Perkins and Georgia Anne Muldrow to drop some heavy consciousness. Happy, uplifting, conscious, emotional, and more. The kind of album you go back to again and again.

Rumi - Hell Me Why?! - POPGROUP Recs
Heavy, electronic mayhem with a touch of soul from Rumi, with production from Ske, Goth Trad, O.N.O and more.

Second Class Citizen - Wyred Folk - Equinox
Stunning EP from the man - blending folk, electronic beats and hip hop into a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts. Beautiful music.

DJ Pinch BBC 1 Dubstep vs Techno set
Amazing set showing the similarities in sound between the techno and dubstep scenes. This mix reminds me of the night I saw Pinch at DMZ and he transported me to another world - leaving me feeling like I hadn’t felt after a DJ set for years.

Mala - Changes b/w Forgive - Deep Medi Musik
Deep, deep tracks from Mala Myzticks. So simple and so enjoyable.

Massive Music - Find My Way (Kode 9 remix) - Hyperdub
Catchiest hook in ages, and bad ass production. Mr 9 does it again.

Dabrye - One/Three - Ghostly
Oldy but goody. Instrumental hip hop with a twist.

Rhythm Incursions podcasts
Trick and Waxfactor have been bringing the guests in regularly over the last few months and this has led to some amazing podcast sessions, including ones from Wrongtom and Joey Beats. Trust these guys to bring stuff to your ears you’ll be thanking them for later.
