Rolling into Spring<\/em><\/p>\n

JT The Goon<\/b> \u2013 Twin Warriors EP<\/i> (Oil Gang)<\/b><\/p>\n

JT The Goon and Oil Gang are going to have a huge 2014.\u00a0 Twin Warriors<\/i> is the appetizer before the full course meal of his forthcoming LP.\u00a0 All four tracks follow the evolving grime sound being pushed by Oil Gang, Glacial Sound, and Butterz.\u00a0 Yet with all the innovation happening in the alternative grime scenes, there still exists nuggets of the original sound from the early 2000s.\u00a0 Hazy bass flows through Ice Cube with the foundational frenzied orchestral strings adorning the track.\u00a0 The eponymous track<\/a> brings the faux-Oriental flavor that permeated dubstep and grime around 2005 and 2006; it is a return that is most welcome.\u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps the most eclectic and wavey track is the last one, Grime Light.\u00a0 The bass dips and glides across the song with bits and pieces of woodwinds making their presence known occasionally.\u00a0 Gun-cocking samples exist in plenitude.<\/p>\n

Various Artists \u2013 Boxed Vol. 1<\/i> (Boxed)<\/b><\/p>\n

Not so much a record label as a party night, Boxed has put out a free compilation that is, quite frankly, better than most other releases so far this year.\u00a0 There are some forgettable tracks (the interesting but ultimately uninspiring Beach Boys remix by Mr. Mitch), but they mostly continue pushing instrumental grime forward.\u00a0 Standouts include JT The Goon\u2019s Listen, a track that continues the renewed interest in faux-Oriental aesthetics with a flute that takes you through the rolling basslines; Murlo\u2019s Daybreak which sounds exactly like most Murlo track\u2019s with its aquatic bassline (and this is not a bad thing); Mumdance & Rabit\u2019s Square Wave Shell Down, a broken beat tracks that begins clapping the tuned down hi-hats and accompanied by wheel-up sounding bass; and Sirpixalot\u2019s Comin\u2019 Clean, a deceptively dark track with sparse bass that would not feel out of place in a John Carpenter movie.\u00a0 The entire compilation is free\u2014how can you beat that price?<\/p>\n

Wave Racer \u2013 Streamers<\/i> (Future Classic)<\/b><\/p>\n

Switching up styles completely, Wave Racer puts out this wonky, high energy track<\/a> just in time for Spring.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to be up front and admit that this is a fairly blatant rip off of Rustie\u2019s style.\u00a0 However, I love Rustie so I am not going to fault Wave Racer for this.\u00a0 All of the twinkly synths, squelchy bass, and even the very obvious Navi sample (from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/i>) is here.\u00a0 Put simply, this is just a fun track.\u00a0 Some people may try to classify this as seapunk (an already dumb moniker), but it is very clearly in the tradition of wonky<\/a> music.<\/p>\n

And, as usual, here is this month\u2019s mix.<\/a><\/p>\n
