Sabre 'A Wandering Journal' LP Sampler

The sampler for Sabre's highly anticipated debut LP, entitled 'A Wandering Journal', dropped into my inbox this afternoon. The two tracks that feature on the 12" set the tone perfectly for the album, and increases the anticipation even further before the Critical long player drops on 29th March 2010.

First up is the massive track Marvel, which in typical Sabre style is deep and moody, as well as featuring some big boy bass to boot. Marvel is backed with dancefloor smasher Barefoot, a collaboration with Subtitles-signed Ulterior Motive. This track is serious! The bassline on this one is not to be taken lightly. Fans of Break and Spectrasoul, you'll love this one!

LP Sampler Release Date: 15th February

LP Release Date: 29th March

Label: Critical

Great Expectations: Dawntreader

Meet Dawntreader. He's another Nottingham boy pushing the hybrid sounds of garage, dubstep and funky, along with friends Geiom, Littlefoot and Brackles. After becoming bored of the dubstep scene, they're forging a new sound and a new style.

He started off mixing hip-hop, before making the switch to drum & bass, then eventually finding a home in the dubstep scene, at a time when it was getting more and more popular, and he was a regular at Nottingham nights Wigflex and Futureproof, getting more and more immersed in the local scene. He draws a lot of inspiration from another local artist Geiom, who he was a 12" coming out with on Double Science Records.

We've managed to get Dawntreader to lay down an exclusive mix for Disrupt:on Inc., which you can grab below, and make sure you go show him some love on Myspace.

Tracklist:

Another free tune...

...this time from none other than Hyperdub new boys Darkstar. Their tune Aidy's Girl's A Computer featured on the Hyperdub '5' compilation and was in our list of tunes of the year....and rightfully so! This tune is called Automating and like their previous tunes features lots of chopped up vocals, rearranged and used as instruments with the mix. Personally, I'm feeling this tune and even though it's rough, me likey! Grab it below and see what you think.

Darkstar - Automating

Breakage x Massive Attack

Breakage's remix of Massive Attack was given away for free today, personally I think it's BIGGGG. Typical Breakage vibe to this track, deep and heavy with a nice mellow female vocal over the top. Proper hands in the air bizzness on this one! Gets me veeery excited for Breakage's album Foundation, which should be out soon enough. Fingers crossed! Download the track below.

Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Breakage's Tight Rope Remix)
