Good god! 2010 is the year of Muti Music, wouldn’t ya say? The glitchdubcrunkhopstutterwhompchillstep label out of San Francisco, CA has been blowin’ it up haaard this year already. With only the first half of the year down, we’ve seen a lot of great stuff and I’m sure we’ve got some great stuff to look forward to! Here’s some of the great releases and artists that have caught our eye recently..
Heyoka – Cosmic Boogie
From the first that Cosmic Boogie wisped by our ear canals, we knew it was going to be a treat. When Heyoka released Marklar some months back, it signaled that Heyoka was taking his music in a new direction, exploring more hyphy and double speed variations on his signature psychedelic sound. However, some felt that it didn’t match the par that earlier releases had set when it came to depth and dynamics. But fear not! Cosmic Boogie very well could take the cake as your new favorite Heyoka album. Find Cosmic Boogie on Addictech, then download the Cosmic Boogie promo mix below!

Siren – Jingletown
We’ve been highly anticipating this release for a number of months, and there’s no disappointment here! Siren’s take on gangster-purple-hop-whomp-step comes highly recommended. With the just the right amount of psychedelic juiciness, this EP keeps your body moving while still tantalizing your brain with complex edits and glitchiness built right in. We first got our dose of Siren almost a year ago with the “Spawn” EP, which screamed it’s way into our speakers with huge drums and crushed basslines. In the past year, Siren has refined and altered his sound, which should definitely be considered an evolution. This was one of the few releases this year that filled our iPod’s on repeat for hours and hour.. can’t recommend it enough! Cop it on Addictech, then snag Siren’s remix of Zion I’s Juicy below from the Soundcloud player.

Glitchy and Scratchy – Broken Logic EP
>
Really glad to see these guys on Muti! Glitchy and Scratchy, also known as Bevvy Swift + The (“El”?) Mongoose, is a glitch-hop super duo hailing from BC, Canada. They first came onto our radar with the compilation of hip-hop bootlegs called “Robots Sodomizing Famous Rappers” some time ago. Since then, they’ve made a name for themselves with multiple releases, including some on the Canadian glitch hop label Woofer Cookers. The Broken Logic EP takes us on a journey through fuzzy basslines, crushed drums, and industrial synths reminiscent of the hay-days of dark trip hop. Grab Broken Logic on Addictech, and score this hilarious track by Glitchy and Scratchy called “Midgets”.

Adam John – Moments
Adam John, also known as Kid Kryptic, has been in the scene for going on 10 years. Throughout his career, he has established a great name for himself with releases on labels such as Evol Intent Recordings and Shift, as well as starting one of Arizona’s first DnB labels, known as Theoretic Records. His most recent release was also his first on Muti, showing a quite diverse side of Adam in the way of downtempo, bass heavy glitchy goodness. This EP has almost a magical feel to it.. something about the combination of dreamy synths with fat bass alongside choppy vocals and tiny percussion produces a vibrant soundscape in which to get lost in. Peep it on Addictech, and then make sure to pon the downloads of his remix of Luddy vs. Nate Doog’s “Play No Games” as well as his most recent mixtape, Laser Beam Force Field.

Make sure to scope out Muti’s Addictech store at http://mutimusic.addictech.com/, and keep your eyes peeled for Timonkey’s new release, entitled Future Perfect, which should be out toward the end of this month. Other notable releases worth checking out are: Masia One – In Di Streets, Mad Zach & R2 The Specialist – Wolf Spiders, Domain ID – Boombox Apocalypse, and Shen – Lost Hopes. But, we can’t speak for your taste! Dig deep with these guys, as they have a few years of worthy releases that still rock dancefloors to date.. trailing all the way back to the Clipping Paths compilation, featuring the talents of Kraddy, Vibesquad, Kilowatts, Ooah, Dov, Timonkey and a whole slew of others. Can’t wait what else Muti Music has in store for us this year!
