skull disco plus plus



Received a few new 12"s in the mail yesterday, the two new Skull Disco releases, Shackleton/T++, and Appleblim and Peverelist, plus the Flying Lotus/Kode9 mixes of Dabrye. Was especially waiting for the Dabrye one, which doesn't disappoint, hearing Kode9 and MF Doom on the same track is just excellent, plus the production on the Flying Lotus mix is just deep.

Seems to be quite a buzz around the two new Skull Disco releases. I found a link on dissensus.com this morning, to a downloadable mix over at Deeptime which features both new Skull Disco tracks plus a load of other new and upcoming tracks from T++, Pinch, Untold, 2562, The Bug, and the amazing Ikonica track 'Please'. Only just downloading the mix now, so I haven't listened to it yet, but the track listing is tasty.

I came across T++ randomly in December, when i downloaded his "Worn Down/100 Bar" release. At the time i had no idea who he was or of his history, but theres quite a nice little summary over at gutterbreakz

I managed to track down two other T++ releases this morning too, "Aquatic/Storm", and "Space Pong/Space Break", which on first listen sound amazing. What i hadn't realised is that Torsten Proefrock, the man behind T++, has been a member of Monolake alongside Robert Henke since at least 2005, having collaborated on the Polygon_Cities album. Hmm, hopefully he'll be playing at the upcoming Bloc weekend! rar!
