Squarepusher - Damogen Furies

Super producer Tom Jenkinson releases a series of glitched and overwhelming takes on drum 'n' bass, dubstep, and more.

Lee Bannon - Main/Flex EP

After the success of his Alternate/Endings full-length earlier this year, I think it's safe to say music fans and critics alike have accepted Lee Bannon's sudden transition into the world of drum 'n' bass.

The West Coast producer is now backing that move up with a new EP titled Main/Flex, which features a surprising and varied guest list: Hak of Ratking, Deejay Earl, and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. Not only that, but Lee's typically atmospheric production feels even more vast at some points--I mean, the track "RMF-2" is pretty much an ambient cut.

Lee Bannon - Alternate/Endings

Producer Lee Bannon fully transitions into a different sound on this new record, distancing himself from the hip hop beats he's most known for. While he sounds completely at home making jungle and breakbeat, I was hoping he'd redecorate a bit more.

Sadsic - Self-Titled

Beatmusic producer Sadsic psychedelically blends elements of drum 'n' bass, hip hop, wonky, IDM, and more into this menagerie of tracks from the self-titled album embedded in the widget above. It's a pretty dizzying group of songs, and are loaded with nutty samples, infectious grooves, and detailed rhythms. Enjoy!

Lee Bannon - "Hyper/Eclipse"

The latest offering from West Coast producer Lee Bannon is accompanied by a fittingly nocturnal, dimly lit video collage. "Hyper/Eclipse" finds Bannon continuing to explore the sounds of drum 'n' bass, but its choppy female vocal sample and dark atmosphere make it feel like something of a jacked-up Burial track. Enjoy!

Lee Bannon - "NW/WB"

With underground super producer Lee Bannon, versatility is the name of the game. I can't believe how many different sounds come out of this guy, and this latest track is an energetic and sincere tribute to the sounds of jungle and drum 'n' bass. Enjoy!

Squarepusher- Ufabulum

On veteran electronic music producer Squarepusher's latest effort, there's a big return to the more electronic side of the project's artistry. However, it doesn't feel as fresh as it used to--even with the newly incorporated elements of dubstep in some of these tracks.

Bjork- "Crystalline"

On the first track to drop from Bjork's forthcoming album, Biophilia, the Icelandic singer-songwriter just doesn't do a lot for me, honestly. I was pretty excited about this track, too. It's certainly got all the makings of a great Bjork track--some strong vocals and personality, ear-grabbing instrumentation, a climax--but I'm left hanging by how little this song really changes or progresses as it moves from the its beginning to its end.

But this track is off of what's supposed to eventually be an all-out multimedia project, including videos to accompany each track. Maybe I'm really only getting half the story by listen to this song by itself.
