You might have noticed we've been a bit quieter lately, this is due to us moving over to a new site over at http://hipdrop.co.nz . Same shit different place.
Mo Kolours - Drum Walking Mix
Wax Poetics & One Handed Music have hooked this mix up by Mo Kolours who recently released his EP Drum Talking, a record based around...well, drums (and percussion). Hella dope tunes and if you're the first who can give a complete track listing using only the given drummers then your up to win and limited edition (only 20 made) OHM T-shirt. Track list of drummers in the comments. Downloads have maxed out via Wax Poetics but you can still cop it here for now.
White Noise - Love Without Sound
Rolling out my week with this masterpiece from White Noise, a group formed by American David Vorhaus after meeting BBC Radiophonic Workshop composers Delia Derbyshire & Brian Hodgson (of Unit Delta Plus). This is probably one of the most spliced and manipulated records in history, employing numerous tape delays, manipulation techniques and uncanny sound effects (orgasms, double bass sped up to sound like cello and violin and so on). It's hard to describe the record but I would say it is akin to some sort of Gothic theatre (although the cover art does give a good indication of what it sounds like). Matthew Murphy did a great review of the record for pitchfork back in 2007 when it was re-issued. Definately recommended for those broadcast fans out there.Letherette - EP2
Latest from Alex Nuts (Eglo/Rinse FM) Ho Tep imprint bringing another quality EP from UK duo Letherette. This one brings together a few joints you've probably heard floating around in some of their mixes and finally gets a proper vinyl release.
In & Out
Put Em' On Blast V3
The limited Put Em' On Blast mix series is back again with Monky featuring all original productions. Previous releases from Darkhouse Family & Mr Healan have been scooped up pretty quick, so for your free copy email Don Leisure and hopefully there might be some left. 100 copies only. Also there's a bandcamp to be set up in the very near future for some of the mp3's to be purchased, but we'll keep you posted.
More info over at Put That Shit On Blast.

Kicking off my working week with some top shelf heat courtesy of @peace who also released the track Sky Is Falling a couple weeks back. The homies Lui Tuiasau (Nothing To Nobody) & Tom Scott (Homebrew Crew) bring the killer shit with this release. It's due out next month but in the meantime here's a joint to keep ya ears warm. Don't Sleep!
Shouts to Lui for the hookup. Mean.
