Soundmurderer - Gunshot/Lickshot

Soundmurderer is the moniker of Todd Osborn ('Clutch' from Starski & Clutch). As the ex-owner of Dubplate Pressure shop, the first Drum & Bass record store in Detroit, Todd holds concrete jungle credentials. His releases under Soundmurderer's solo work is somewhat limited ("Soundermurder & SK-1" records are much more abundant) as Todd seems to only put something out ever few years, but this 7" is worth the listen. It's possible one may also be familiar with the "Rewind Records" label that he ran for a little while. Clash Records, out of the Netherlands, the label this is on, is responsible for releasing some of the more popular jungle/breakcore artists, including Bong-Ra, FFF, and I:gor. I'm quite pleased to be able to post something along the lines of 'breakcore', which isn't exactly a popular thing in Detroit, yet I'm a tremendous fan of the genre.

I can't seem to find a place to download/purchase this release, so yeah.

Sinistarr ft. Redeyes - Solar 9/Mainstay

Even after posting a Sinistarr album not long ago, I couldn't resist. He has quickly become one of my favorite up and coming local artists. This is his latest solo release off of Metalheadz based out of the UK, the label that Goldie's been working off of seemingly exclusively since 2005.

Also, I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much. I've been very busy and I'm looking into having others aid me with SynthSD endeavors.

Sinistarr - Something's Working EP

Jeremy Howard has been DJing since 2003, but is still somewhat new to Drum n' Bass with his first release as Sinistarr dating 2007. He also is a part of Peer Pressure Recordings, out of San Diego, California. His music's quite fresh with his jazzy style (similar to Flying Lotus's) while retaining influences from Detroit techno. I've read (as stated by Metalheadz) Sinistarr is working on something with DJ Stingray (check out my Urban Tribe post) which is pretty exciting. Recently, I've been listening to 'newer' drum n' bass and it seems reminiscent of 'newer' dubstep with a compelling rhythm, no offense to anyone who's into artists such as Bassnectar and Skrillex. I'm not huge into techno that I can't dance to.

Adjust - Your Bad Luck

Justin Ivey, or Adjust, has been DJing for roughly fifteen years and has had appearances on Lollapalooza and URB Magazine tours. Adjust began Low Res Records, which claims to be "Detroit's first hardcore industrial and experimental breakbeat techno record label". I hope people will appreciate this post being that I'm trying to provide a larger variety of music.
