Bit late on this one (it’s sometimes hard to check emails in Peru let alone check out new mixes and then blog about them) but I thought i’d follow GBQ’S recent Kwaito love by linking to Martin ‘Blackdown’ Clarks blog which has an excellent mix by Hyperdub’ss LV. This in turn got me thinking that …

Wiley Swims With The Toads
So what was the Toads Theme by Mad Decent’s croaky soldiers, Toadally Krossed Out, has now become a new Wiley track. Credited as a Diplo production, Wiley and J2K roll over the beat with their tribute to going fishin in the club. Pretty cool.
Atención!
After being lucky enough to hear Toy Selectah’s great lecture at the Red Bull Music Academy last week, it really got me thinking (uh-oh) about how one releativly simple style of music has branched out in so many awesome directions, from the Aztec rave of Tribal Guarachero to the Bass kicks of Texan Crunk Cumbia …

A cuppa with J-Wow (Buraka Som Sistema)
Regular readers here will know we’ve been big fans of Buraka Som Sistema’s Bass heavy kuduro for time.
