LOWRIDERS 2009 list

We have made it. All the Lowriders finished their 2009 list. Some small because they planned to move during the holidays some long, like the SIMcommander, as always!
We had a busy 2009 and met a lot of great people at Lowriders, Dropp and Raw Rhythm and made friends for ever. Had great dinners at home with artists, got drunk with them, the works…!
As you might know by now we are starting a label with some twelves and EPs coming up with great talents, some friends! We will be partying again at WORM, doing collabs with orgs and peops we like, will be in the UK and discovering and sharing interesting new music. We will also start a series of exclusive mixtapes and interviews with people we know and like.
It will be a busy and interesting year, again!

Check the individual lists of Coco Bryce, Yang, Beatnologic, Ruwedata, C02Ro and SIMcommander.

SIMcommander 2009 list

As allways making lists is asking for trouble. I really try to keep up during the year   (I even have a file on my desktop the whole year on named toplist!!). What do I listen to, what stays on my turntables, ipod. Sometimes I listen to a track to long so I bore myself (stupid) and some tracks stay in my head forever.
This year was great for the abstract beats and everything that developed from this. Dubstep as a genre is becoming problematic: to harsh, not subtle, to much copying formulas and then again people like Kryptic Minds (just didn’t get my list, place 21) and some others like Akira Kiteshi were amazing but Skweee really did it for me. The adventure is great, going from funk to idm-ish to dubstep-ish! But the most amazing track was Sluga’s rework of Pharoah Monchs Simon Says. All lists in no order…! Read more »

SOOM T Dirty Money

December 1st 2009 by SIMcommander | Tags: , | Tweet this post

soomtSoom T is this little girl with a big mouth from up north of the UK, yeah you know the G spot! Her introduction for me was when she voiced the amazing record by Bus: Middle Of The Road. The single from that LP is still one of my fav tracks of this century….

The Jahtari soundsystem are one of the most interesting labels/groups working in the field of digi-dub/dubstep/dub. Their continuous out-put is amazingly strong from their Maffi 7 inches with Mungo’s Hifi, Bo Marley, Solo Banton ao. to the 12 inches with Disrupt, Clouds, Illyah and Tapes. Read more »
