Indian diasporic beats 'n' bass Mix by DJ Coconuts of Tupolev Soundcrash.

I first found out about this excellent DJ mix from the essential Generation Bass blog. Since the compiler had the good taste to include quite a few Six Degrees artists, I thought it was only natural that we share it with you. It's been very interesting watching Dubstep continue to grow and morph as a genre and some of my favorite stuff coming out of the scene incorporates global sounds into the mix. Between this and our recent Liquid Stranger post, I think you can start to see some of the intriguing new directions coming from today's bass culture.

Liquid Stranger: Dance on the Petals Avoiding the Nettles

Free Download - Liquid Stranger: "Dance On the Petals Avoiding the Nettles"


Our friends at the fine Interchill label are releasing the latest from the great Liquid Stranger on Oct. 16th. The new album is called The Intergalactic Slapstick and to my ears, it is one of the most enjoyable fusions of dub, dubstep and psy-dub that I've ever heard. This is music that brings the bass in big, fat slabs but never forgets to throw texture and melody into the mix in large helpings. Whether you are a seasoned dubstep fiend or you're just dipping your toes into the bassbin shaking waters, this is an artist well worth exploring further. Be sure to check out the full record when it comes out, as well as the great remix Liquid Stranger did for our own Bombay Dub Orchestra for their 3 Cities in Dub release. -Read the full Post-

Alice Russell news

(Alice Russell plays Let Us Be Loving at the Big Chill 2009 to a slideshow of photos taken by Digby Oldridge)

We just an update we'd like to share from Alice Russell, whose 'Pot of Gold Remixes" album will be out on Six Degrees Records in the States at the end of October!

Hello There -

Video Shoot
I write this a little bit in a rush as we are preparing for the video shoot tomorrow of 'Let Us Be Loving' (it's going to be the next single!) Last week the band, TM Juke and I got back in the studio to re-record the single version. After playing it live the song has evolved so we decided to recreate that in the studio.
Lots of lamb kebabs and extra string parts later we had it down so we decided we should get the gang together and do a video. Everyone has been amazing helping out. The only thing we have left to sort is 2 dancers but I think we are close. It's amazing if you reach out to peeps how much people give back. I've even got my man friend on catering duties so the troops will be well fed. I will post up some photos of tomorrows delights so you guys can have a sneek preview of the video that is to follow!
Koko Launch Party
Next we get rehersing for the launch party at Koko in London next week! I can't wait as I have always loved this venue and we have the full big band in full effect for this so im excited, yes-sirrr-eeeeee! Hope to see you there.

I gotta go and buy some beads n eye lashes for the backing singers and dancers for the video so I best get on my way!

Big love xxxxxxxx A -Read the full Post-

Carlos Lamartine on Akwaaba Music

Free Download - Carlos Lamartine - Kimbemba Buy on iTunes

Akwaaba Music is a newish label that is focusing on releasing undiscovered gems by artists from West Africa. Label chief Benjamin LeBrave is going beyond finding obscure vinyl and putting it on compilations, instead he is doing some meticulous research in the field and meeting current musicians and artists in Angola that are making kuduro tracks that have never been played outside Africa. Akwaaba is also unearthing some beautiful music from past-masters, like Carlos Lamartine who plays a style called semba. The track Kimbemba is indicative of the rest of the album, great vocals and rhythmic guitars with traditional carnival rhythms. Dig the video below and check the Akwaaba website/blog for lots of great treats, beats, and knowledge!
