The Mad Decent main man drops a jaw dropping mix CD showing just why he is one of the coolest DJs and producers on the planet right now. Somehow managing to bring together hip hop, crunk, dancehall, crank (means something different in Manchester, that does), Queen, White Stripes, house, techno, Bat For Lashes, MIA and Schooly D amongst others over 39 tracks of quick mixed brilliance! This fella will have you dancing to stuff you thought you hated, while scratching your head and grinning like a fool. And then finish off with 'Do The Bartman' and make it sound logical. Amazing.
Traditional folk songs are covered on this archaic sounding colection.Psych elements are also in the fray.Combined with old time British mysticism this a magical release.
Anthology of Cutty Ranks superb dancehall output inlcuding the classic anthem 'Limb by Limb'.Hugely sampled by the junglists.
Collection of remixes by Various Production, versus the likes of Rustie, Zomby, Actress, Foals, Milanese, Sugababes and a whole host of contenders lined up in another gorgeous package designed by the inimitable Bonesy.
Fleet Foxes combine vocal harmonies and baroque songs in a way reminding of Crosby,Stillls and Nash and Beach Boys but retaining a modern feel.
Prior to Arise, Amebix released their early material on Flux Of Pink Indians' Spiderleg imprint. These recordings came in extremely limited runs, and were bootlegged to death in the ensuing years, while the original master tapes languished in lockdown at Southern Studios.No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings gathers the sought-after cult releases No Sanctuary, Who's The Enemy, and Winter. Some of these tunes--such as "Winter" and "No Gods, No Masters"--are undisputed classics in the punk world.Comes free 'Winter' 7".
The Peel Sessions album contained 3 Peel Sessions which were sub titled as May 87 - No Aids , February 88 - No Salmanela and January 1991 - No war in the Gulf . The album contained many exclusive songs and as ever Datblygu included helpful liner notes .
Slebog Bywydeg - Biology Slut .Stricly anti durex ‘ I want to share you body form your head to your feet gamble with Aids and share your blood , share my blood’ .
Nid Chwiwgi Pwdin Gwaed -Not a blood pudding pilferer . The Gulf war was on and the singer was consuming a litre of vodka every two days ,Daily he had to face hormone crazy schoolkids who he got on with in his role as a teacher of Welsh . the song itself is about the creative process i.e. the most creative behaviour is neurotic , but it sure beats murder .
Rhag Ofn I Chwi Anghofio - In case you should forget . Expresses the wish for real culture in Wales , one not based on childish competing of the national Eisteddfod nor the insanity of television .
In 1992 Jeff Mills, Mike Banks and Robert Hood - still known at that time as Underground Resistance - released what was probably the most futuristic album in modern electronic music: "X-102 discovers The Rings Of Saturn
Kid Carpets new album is a pop album.Lovely,slightly wonky pop utilising charity shop synths and toy instruments.Lyrically it reminds of self effacing punky bands like Alternative TV and Television Personalities.My 4 year old loves it!
Ponytail are another Baltimore band from the same scene as the Death Set.Their music is total spastic bliss, a complete sugar high freak out, smiles, dimples and grins beam from the crowd to the band, and from band to crowd.It seems theres a great little scene in the US at the moment based in the DIY ethic combining simple electro riffs with fun punk riffage.Here at Tangled Towers we're watching/listening keenly.Whens the UK catching up?
Rudimentary Peni were always one of the more interesting bands lumped into the anarcho tag.Not afraid to step out of the box.Their excellent tribute to Edgar Allen Poe,Cacophany,bears testament to this.This new album is unmistakenly Peni,Blinkos' tortured vocals and the buzzing saw guitar work.Intense but pleasing.
The Bug(Kevin Martin)has created a hybrid monster.Part dancehall,part harsh electronics,grime,dubstep all thrown in a blender with some fine vocalists.The album opens with Tippa Irie declaring anger at the state of the modern world.Lyrically its a feature of the album.Warrior Queen adds venom as does Ricky Ranking,Spaceape and Roll Deeps' Flowdan.The bass is punishing throughout underpinned by tight beats.Contender for electronic album of 2008.
Jahdan Blakkamoore(Brooklyn ragga/hip hop artist teams up with DJ/Rupturte/Matt Shadtek to produce a hybrid of dubstep,dancehall and hip hop.Shadtek creates something fresh with his dubstep riddims while Rupture brings some more exclusive blends-where does he find them?

Duppy Man provides a steppy roller of a tune with squelching b line.Subwayz tune sizzles like hot fat over a morphing bassline.Top notch.
£5.99 [Sound File 1] [Sound File 2] Add to BasketSubtle pads alongside clipped and rhythmically busy drums eventually give way to a sound system-testing bassline. Drawing influences from dark garage and warm electronica, it's a deceptively devastating tune that weaves its way into the listener’s brain. The B side sees Pangaea exploring his sound further. Ignoring the current trend towards throwaway dancefloor material, 'Nest' is a texturally dense slice of meditative dubstep. Its warped bassline underpins dusty atmospherics and melancholy strings. 'Deviant' rounds off the proceedings in spectacular fashion, sounding like the South London equivalent of mid-90s Berlin.
£5.99 [Sound File 1] [Sound File 2] Add to BasketVery limited white label. As a small taster of the upcoming Hotflush compilation album Space and Time, this limited white label 12" presents a brand new track from Scuba, and a new remix by Vex'd of the Hotflush classic "The Knowledge" by Toasty. Scuba's "Inmost" delivers a minimal, night driving tune with a bit of an 80s vibe. One for the deep skankers. Vex'd brings a 2nd remix of "The Knowledge" to the table, following up on its first remix of the track on Hotflush's first remix 12". This time around their take on the original preserves its breakstep tendencies but still leaves it infused with classic Vex'd bass distortion. Watch for these two tracks plus plenty more on the full release of Hotflush Presents... Space and Time on compact disc with vinyl and digital releases following thereafter.

Caspa remixes two Dub Police classics-limited upfront copies,don't sleep.
£5.99 Add to BasketPinch is back with a huge 12" on Planet Mu. 'Pepper Spray' is a nice a moody track, taking elements from Techno to fortify its presence in dubstep. on the flip is 'Cave Dream'. To put it simple its a more chilled out 'Punisher'.
£4.99 Add to BasketThis track is every thing dubstep says it is and yet brings the added vibe of jungle! 'New World' is a high light of this EP, a must have.
Lets get skanking!!
Oh my giddy days.... Long Awaited realse from the Brothers in dubstep 'Hijak' and 'Skream'. 'Retro' is a well produced affair that reminds the listerner of some 60s jazz funk. When 'Wake Up' drops, the impact will leave you feeling like you been snuck up upon ninjas in black costumes... Heavy!!!!
£5.99 Add to BasketBristol label 'Earwax' hooks up with long serving dubstep/grime soldier... You know this track is heavy.
£5.99 [Sound File 1] Add to BasketFresh release from cluekids own imprint bullfrog beats. A must for all dubstep fans!

Parrot Picks
Slug and Ant sixth album is as good as any hip hop album heard this year with the single 'Shoulda Known' showcasing their electro style.Lovely b-line and intelligent rhyming.This is the limited CD/DVD pack with free book.
A wonderful album full of bass, electronica, theremin and trombone.One man electronic bass band.A must buy cos its tidy...
Another album recorded in seclusion in some frozen wasteland?Actually its very good.Cold(!) electronic ambience add atmosphere to some rather beautiful songs.Recommended.
Our favourite bearded singer releases a brand new album,not demos or covers.It has a far more classical 'country' sound than previous albums dropping the orchestras and electronics.Of course Bonnies' songs are perfectly capable of standing alone.
Electro punk from the motherfuckin Death Set and I mean electro PUNK not just electro with guitars.Highly recommended album.Bursts of punk casio madness delivered with a pop sensibility.
Electronic/noise album from Bristol 2 piece Fuck Buttons.Slips effortlessly from lush electronics to harsh noise.
Awesome punk rock from Canadas finest.Strains of Poison Idea but with a more melodic edge.Essential.Check out their 7" singles 'Police' and 'Dance of Death' also available from Tangled Parrot.
Vinyl rerelease of lost psych/folk album by Gary Higgins.Originally released in 1973,the album and artist disappeared until interest from Six Organs Ben Chasney and Zach Cowie(Drag City)led to a CD reissue and the relaunch of Gary Higgins into the public domain.He has done a few live appearances and intends reissuing more material.This LP reissue has a free 7" with 2 additional tracks.
J. Spaceman and Sun City Girls(the Bishops)combine to make an eerie psych film score to Harmony Korine new film Mister Lonely.Haunting melodies with the Sun City esoteric world influence.
Crass songs done by legendary anti-folk man Jeffrey Lewis.Tangled Parrot loves this release as it combines our love of off-kilter folk and anarcho punk.Also comes with an excellent comic book.
