Upside of Down: Elite Force Breakbeat Mix London 2013

Here's a bangin breakbeat mix from Elite Force out of London. This DJ is known for his breaks, which are much more popular in the UK and Europe than in the US. It's certainly not a "downtempo" or "chill" mix like you'd generally find on my site, but like all musicheads I enjoy many different styles and tempos, so I share this as part of the "Upside of Down" feature. Breaks are close to my heart as so much of what I love about DJing is the rhythm and percussion. Enjoy!

Paul White - Watch the Ants

I'm very excited for Paul White's new EP "Watch the Ants" - coming out July 29 on One Handed Music. I love his style of experimental electronic hip hop. It's quirky and chill, very interesting to listen to. Check out the EP teaser and watch for it to come out on July 29!

Mister Rogers Remixed (B-side) - Sing Together

PBS Digital Studios and Symphony of Science's John Boswell does it again. Another fantastic and touching remix of Mister Rogers. I share this because 1) the music is a great composition in line with my musical taste, and 2) the message is in the same spirit that I created my blog - to share and create and use music to uncover truth and cultivate wonder about the world around us and within ourselves. I don't often get sentimental with my posts, but there's always a deeper exploration within the music that I experience, and I hope you do too.

Congo Natty - UK All Stars

For Sound Spectrum Saturday, here's a new track from dub and jungle luminaries Congo Natty. This is pure UK sound, if you haven't heard much jungle or D&B, let this be an opener. Congo Natty brings many years of natty dread sound together with UK jungle and dub fusion, plus a crew of their musical friends and family. This is the first "single" off Congo Natty's upcoming album Jungle Revolution, out on Big Dada Records (a sister/sub label of Ninja Tune) on July 1. Check it:
