Jimmy Edgar Exclusive Mix + Interview (Podcast)


 

JIMMY EDGAR
Exclusive Mix + Interview

There’s certain artists that capture an essence that’s wholly stimulating to a dancefloor; Jimmy Edgar is one of those artists that provides a combination of intellectual and auditory stimulation. Since the days of his releases on WARP and Merck, the now-Berlin-based producer has been pounding out his own brand of interstital and sensual grooves, attracting crowds that are hungry for next-level jaunts about the unknown realms of their strangest desires. Edgar is a master at accessing a dancefloor’s core values and cascading his sound with a confidence that’s truly his own. Currently, his single on Hotflush, “This One’s For The Children” is an retro-futuristic take on 80s electro, draped in velvet and spacesuits. Yeah, it’s that good. It’s only a teaser for his forthcoming LP on the label, entitled Majenta (out in early May). Jimmy took the time to speak to URB about how his creative process has thrived due to his move to Berlin, as well as providing us with a mix that’s a throwback response to his good buddy Machinedrum’s URB podcast. Check out the interview and mix after the jump.

CHLLNGR Exclusive Mix (Podcast)

No Tags


CHLLNGR
Exclusive Mix

 

The darkness of dub and melancholy aversions of RnB meet in the sounds of CHLLNGR. Steven Jess Borth II has been crafting his eerie and exhaustive sound for quite some time now, with his LP Haven coming out last year to critical acclaim from fans inside and outside the worlds of electronic music. He’s not always alone with his sounds however as he’s ammassed remixes for M.I.A., The xx and has worked with acts like Cubic Zirconia, Spoek Mathombo and Teachers. Throughout it all, CHLLNGR has “challenged” (pun intended) the status quo with his attention to atmosphere, struggling to place us in a zone of comfort and relishing our every moment of saddened shuddering. With that said, we thought he would bring a new light to our URB podcast series, which he agreed to and gave us the mix you’re about to listen to down below. Check out the mix and tracklist after the jump; and be sure to check out his new release Datter, available now.

Ital Exclusive Mix (Podcast)

Ital

Exclusive Mix


What a year it’s been for Daniel Martin-McCormick, better know as the mind-warping producer, Ital. His sounds, informed by the sensibilites of disco, gospel and house, are not necessarily tied to one sort of “genre”. In fact, Ital’s audible identity is one that covers a world of dance music that might not even be occupied wholly by electronic music fans entirely. His releases on 100% Silk and Planet Mu expand from twisted dance epics to genre-defying amalgams, crossing borders without any regard to who’s listening. What’s most important with Ital’s music is the vibe; it’s reliant on mood, melody and energy, something that no matter what kind of music fan you are, you can appreciate in its entirety. To commemorate the release of Hive Mind of Planet Mu, Ital has graced URB with an exclusive mix of tunes he’s bought on-tour. In addition to that, he’s given us a lengthy interview to accompany it. Check out the mix, tracklist and chat after the jump.

Sinjin Hawke :: Exclusive Mix (Podcast)

Sinjin Hawke

Exclusive Mix


Today’s contribution to URB’s podcast series comes from MTL/BCN producer Sinjin Hawke, who you may know from his R&B/hip-hop bootleg specialities (available from TRUANTS for free). Considering his penchant for big-room bass drops and euphoric sensibilities, he’s been buzzed about for good reason. Citing influences from obvious hip-hop/R&B and bass producers, (DJ Khaled, HudMo, Rustie, etc.), his Pelican Fly release (The Lights) was met with huge praise for his signature productions, oozing with vigorous swag. Already on a roll in 2012, his year’s surely going to get more busy, with releases coming in the near future. Perhaps there’s some previews of upcoming stuff in this mix he’s done so graciously for URB. Check out the mix and tracklist after the jump; and most importantly, enjoy.
