VA - Ranking Records Exclusive Studio Mix (Electronic Explorations)
This was a double surprise! Not only did I find a great podcast, Electronic Explorations, [nah, let's call it for what it is - a radio show broadcasted on the intarwebs], but also an amazing record label, Ranking Records. Rob Booth is behind his weekly 90-minute show that covers everything from electronica, IDM, techno, and of course dubstep. Inspired by Mary Ann Hobbs, Booth set out to craft a show for the music that he loves. This absolute random find just happened to be on its 7th episode for Ranking Records; yet as I write this, I'm downloading and anticipating the show featuring one of my favorites - Boxcutter. Now on to Ranking Records. What can I say? The 30-minute mix embedded in the show completely revived my love for dubstep, and now I have no doubt that it will have a promising future ahead! Based in Leeds, UK, Ranking Records has breathed a new life into the genre - with only two 12" behind its belt (and I'm sure many coming in the future), the label delivers fresh, intelligent, and groovy beats, with a solid deep bass. The sound is jazzy, spacey, [dare I say] psychedelic, and continues to evolve throughout a perfectly mixed session. This is what I want dubstep to be. This is how the future is shaped today. I am an immediate fan of the label, already smiling towards a prosperous 2008. Artists to watch: Ruckspin, Quark, and Planas.
I just wanted to give a little something back to everybody who's shown me love this year and provided support for what i do. I've therefore posted a Happy New Year mix below for everybody. As usual, i've tried to keep it both varied and interesting, aswell as a little unpredictable (as i do). Feel free to download it and listen at your leisure. Also, i'd appreciate any feedback anyone who listens to it may have. Positive, or otherwise. I'm always interested to know what people think, so do let me know.
