This is like a 2 for 1 special, Walmart-style post y'all.
Minimal dubstep and breakbeat group, Dark Sky just released a new EP, Radius. If you remember, I had posted their remix of Crystalised by The xx way back when and here they are again with their big, dark beats, synths and general Britishness. I had originally included all but one of the songs on the four track EP below, but Dark Sky contacted us and made us take the tracks down for download (I've replaced them with their Souncloud versions). If you like what you hear be sure to check out the XLR8R Podcast these guys did last month that you can download here.

Recently, I preemptively posted about Hudson Mohawke's new EP, Satin Panthers. Well it's out, and holy shit. I've posted two of my favorite tracks off of it for you guys to enjoy. So plug your speakers in, (and if you don't have speakers, go out and buy some, I recommend these), turn it up, and brace yourself.
This song has so many layers and styles; it is pure Moanhawke.

Cbat was a result of Hud exploring new styles, and was kept on the EP because he liked that it reminded him of the sound a creaky door makes when you open it. Works for me.

Hip-hop producers today have nothing on the beats Mohawke molds out in these tracks; shit gets real. Thursday I head to IDentity Festival DC, so look out for a post about that in the near future.
Cheers!
