I first became excited about ADWR in late 2010, when they came out of the gates strong with a wicked remix of Dada Life’s Unleash the F*cking Dada. The track, predictably, blew up as did their booking schedule, and ever since their productions have been ever increasing in quality.

It looks as though the pair have branched out somewhat from their hard electro-dubstep origins, and have a variety of upcoming productions spanning the major bass genres of the moment (moombahcore, electro-dubstep, & electro house). They successfully pair the raviest of elements against more melodic bits, and obviously have nailed down their complextro-style dubstep sound.

Hats off. Can’t wait to be delighted further by these gents in 2012.

For this week’s edition of the Mixcast, I’m proud to feature Ant Brook’s first podcast of the year. This one features a new track from the man himself, his usual top notch chart selections, and an unreal guest mix from 1605 label-boss Umek – a label we covered extensively in 2011, especially following the release of Pleasurekraft’s Satyr Song.

I can only think of (less than) a handful of artists regularly releasing high quality, regular podcasts – The Magician, Aeroplane, Designer Drugs, and of course Ant Brooks. So hats off to him, both for keeping it regular and just so good. Quality artists putting together regular charts is so much rarer than it should be – they’re in the position to do it best.

Though perhaps that’s the point. There are a still a LOT of artists out there that are old school acetate/white label dudes (read: DJs that won’t tell you what that song was). The Magician, for as good as his “Magictapes” are, don’t include a tracklist. For me, I have so much to listen to that I won’t even press play unless it has a tracklist. And it’s always been my policy that a mix doesn’t get published on Salacious unless I have one.

What do you guys think? Do you care if an artist provides a tracklist? Would you like to see mixes without tracklists on Salacious, if it meant I could publish mixes more frequently?

Artists can be an awful pain in the ass when it comes to publishing recordings of their live performances. They play tracks that aren’t supposed to be on the internet, they play stuff they might not want to be identified with period, and they make mistakes which, while transparent in a loud nightclub where 95% of the clientele are bombed, come through in different mediums (ie your headphones).

So it’s no small feat that local Toronto label x show producer Provoke is getting world class artists like Chris Lake and Prok & Fitch to publish recordings of their performances.

I say kudos, to both the artists and Provoke. It’s been too long that artists have held on to the idea that people are mysteriously not going to go see their live performance “if they can just listen on the internet”. Bollocks. The fans that love you, and are going to enjoy this content most will support you always. The ones who you haven’t converted yet may just be convinced by your mix getting out there on the internet. And if one or two actually don’t show up because they heard your mix on the internet.. well, you probably don’t want those kids at your show anyway. They probably thought your track-selection or mixing sucked.

Thank you to Chris Lake and Provoke for this awesome content! Lets start working on the tracklist in the comments!!

Heck, you might as well download the entire show! New Jamie xx aside, there’s plenty of other quality tracks from the likes of Zomby, Julia Holter, Arthur Russell, and Chairlift.

I have an exciting treat for you today. In December, Prok & Fitch came to Toronto for a performance at Cobra Nightclub’s weekly Thursday jam EMERGENCY, and Provoke has secured permission to release the live recording. Definitely something we need more of our show producers doing!

After living in London for 2 years, I’ve noticed that unless it’s a big name act, DJ sets for the most part don’t get nearly as wild as the ones in North America, and crowds are often much more subdued. It feels like DJs take their forever building the energy, and by the time they drop it big, it’s too little, too late.

This of course isn’t all the time, nor is it every DJ – or maybe I just spend too much time partying in West London. Either way, I wanted to create a mixtape that encompasses my favourite electro DJs in the world right now just to show everyone what I’ve been talking about when I say “Man, when is he gonna drop the BEAT?” I hope you like it.

On this week’s edition of the Mixcast we feature a rising star of the UK bass scene Aaron Jerome, aka SBTRKRT. In two short years, SBTRKT has racked up a discography of remixes and originals on Yong Turks and Brainmath which have grasped the attention of musicians from all walks, from Basement Jaxx to Drake.

His tracks draw inspiration from seemingly disparate sources: broken beat, 2-step, nu-jazz, RnB, and Chicago house. But to spend too much time talking about the personality that SBTKRT infuses his music with is to bely the projected image of the project, and what London musician Aaron Jerome would like us to pay attention to; he’d “rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself.”
