Clean#13: 00Genesis | 00Genesis, a.k.a. Lloye Sean Warner from Maryland, New England, emerged as part of the a very young post-Dilla beats scene, that also included Teebs, Shlohmo, Jackhigh and others. He collaborated with Jackhigh (now BNJMN) back in 2008 on a great track called Long Time which you can find floating around the web if you look hard enough. He hasn't flooded the world with music since then, producing for underground rapper yU, dropping two choice EPs on US label RXLNGR, and lately a fantastic EP on All City with Muhsinah which is a compulsory check. He took part in Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona in 2010, a rite a passage for so many of the key beatsmiths of his generation, and was a featured artist at Sonar 2011. Like BNJMN, Lloye's not keen on showing his physical face or revealing too much about the man behind the music, but he communicates through his website where you'll find a free download: http://www.00genesis.com/ | 1/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#12: Demokracy | Demokracy is two young men from Siberia in Russia. When you mention Serbia people often think you mean Siberia, but they are not the same place. And Cyberia is somewhere altogether else, but I secretly think that's where Albert and Stanislas actually come from. By the way, the strange being in the photo is Albert & Stas wanged together by us. We started chatting a couple of years ago after they sent us a demo at a very early stage in their musical development, including an early version of the belter Starhaven, which we used as the opening track on our 'Come On Lets Go' compilation. We also helped them choose their name. Since then they've released two EPs on Germany's Robox Neotech label (http://tinyurl.com/3fv2s68 and http://tinyurl.com/3uzkrqy), Stas has curated the Fly Russia compilation for Error Broadcast and Albert has released solo as Damscray. If we're lucky we may even get to pop more of their bleepy whistles on Svetlana. We share a love of psychedelic rock, the perfect summer sound. Stare at the clouds while contemplating improved futures. | 8/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#11: All City Records | This mix is called We All Cant Be Pimps and We All Cant Rap. It could also be called the Pangaea mix cause the tunes date from when the world was a single supercontinent called hip hop and it's huge. All City Records is a shop in Dublin but people like us who don't live there know it as a label which gave beatheads a serious dose of education with their ESSENTIAL 7 x 7 series of 7"s in 2008, followed up with their 10x10 series of 10"s focusing on LA, featuring our bro Teebs among all the other heroes of that town. We badgered them for a mix for a while, knowing they would come up with something fresh, and here it is: a creamy collection of underground 90s hip hop, as old and stale and stinking and ancient and gloriously freshhh as you could wish in this technoid age. Mixed on vinyl only by Olan and DJ Tu-ki. First to send us the tracklist on email Olan says he's gonna send a lush All City goodybag. http://www.allcityrecordlabel.com/ http://soundcloud.com/tu-ki | 8/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#10: Re:ill / Super Smoky Soul | Back in the mists of 2007, when the beats sound was still obscure, likeminded souls were finding each other across the globe (Teebs and Jackhigh) and DJs like Alex Nut and Jay Scarlett rewarded the curious with treasure. Japan had its own outpost: Dai Kurihara's excellent Circulations released the classic compilation New Worlds in 2008 featuring Dorian Concept, Sa-Ra, Mono/Poly and more. http://www.freshselects.net/newworlds. Also on that compilation was a huge collab between Guilty Simpson and elusive Japanese production trio Super Smoky Soul. Besides a great album (http://www.junodownload.com/products/cycling/1303937-02/) and a 12" not much more was heard, and it was when dropping them into my Electronic Explorations mix that I decided to hunt them down for a Shortcast. SSS's Re:ill came back with this fab 100% Japanese collection, a long overdue update. And good news there is new material on the way. Check this http://tinyurl.com/6kh42to and please give. | 5/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#9: Kuedo | Kuedo a.k.a. Jamie Vex'd started soldiering a long time ago, manufacturing beautiful serious urban atmospheres as half of Vex'd, dropping the seminal album 'Degenerate' into the dubstep protoverse as long ago as 2005. His extraordinary pitchbendariffic remix for Scuba (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9lqLlc9CBY) saw him enter new territory as a solo artist, which he marked with a hugely significant mixtape for Lucky me - (http://www.mixcloud.com/LuckyMe/25-jamie-vexd-sunday-walkman-mix/). This was followed by an EP for Planet Mu as Jamie Vex'd and a second as Kuedo marking more fully his transition to solo artist. He and Roly (the other half of Vex'd) do still collaborate but they are now divided by sea and Jamie's music is growing into its own personality. Rumours of an album are abroad and we eagerly await it. In the meantime this mix is gully and massive. One of the builders of the scene who still seems like everything is to come. Show your love to the man. | 4/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#8: LV | Although they started out on their own Moomu imprint, we first came across LV through their powerful early singles for Hyperdub. Collaborating with vocalists it seemed like here finally was reggae fit for the 21st century, the tech descendent of roots, a different space from the brash clattering of dancehall. The socially aware anti-establishment lyrics, the pride, warmth and power of the voices link them to the tradition of British metropolitan reggae, Steel Pulse's Handsworth Revolution, the movie Babylon and Dennis Bovell, the urban edge, still the same in 2010 as in 1980. We used to drop that track regularly on gigs and it's slow power is familiar and devastating. Recently they've gone in new directions, working with spoken word artist Josh Idehen, uberproducer Untold on the subaquatic “Beacon”, and the Africa-meets-juke smash “Boomslang” with Okmalumkoolkat. We started corresponding about juke tunes a while back and thus this mix of their jukey favourites. viva LV. | 3/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#7: 1000names | I think we can call the 1000names family. They may spread their love around - Black Acre, Eklektik Records and others we won't know about until someone accidentally says something at a party and it all gets awkward - but family's family and you forgive and move on. And we owe them, 'cause they been turned on the sound for years, and through them we found Los Angeles. Humble dudes, underneath it they're a couple of hardcore individualists that function as a frictionless machine. And honestly, like another friend of ours, Dem Hunger, or Teebs, they're pretty close to the definition of a true artist. They just keep making, and moving, and moulding, and producing, restless and irrepressible. They're also funny, and have a hilarious collection of jumpers. They are serious ridiculous fellows. Here they come with some heavyweight Wang™: tracks you know wanged to be better for your century. This is a serious ridiculous mix delivered with love.

Clean#6: Jar Moff | This Shortcast is something different and special. Ten minutes long, it's as much an original composition as it is a mix. In fact, when we asked the man responsible, Jar Moff, what the difference is between a composition and a mix for him, he said: "for a mixtape thing i felt comfortable using longer cut ups and other artist stuff and intros outros that i m making based on the remixed tracks/\" Jar Moff has a name like a Star Wars character and lives in Athens. He rides the nightbuses, buys records and makes things like this. Coming from the same planet as Dem Hunger and Matthewdavid he brings his own strongly melodic take to the music, which we really appreciate here. If you like this s**t there's a bit more out there: http://macflyisthenewblack.com/2009/09/mfmix009/#content http://leavingrecords.com/handmade/lrf005-jmepsp/ http://igetrvng.com/prsnts/193 Get to know Jar Moff. We chat about free jazz and politics and things. http://jarmoff.blogspot.com/ | 12/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#5: Kelpe | We first came into contact with Kelpe via Fulgeance's remix of "Stop Parching Yourself" back in 2008, only to discover that he'd actually been ploughing his own furrow since 2003, with a home on DC Recordings, a label more known for new disco. Like Architeq and Fulgeance he was producing warm, downtempo, funky synthesised joints before anybody had really though to group this s**t together or give it a name. It's our view that although widely respected he's not quite had his due yet, since Kelpe is highly capable of turning out a serious banger when he decides to, as one look at our radio show and gig playlists can confirm. He's get a decent discography to go an discover (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Kelpe), but you could start with this just released blast: http://kelpe.co.uk/margins-ep-out-now And this about to be released: http://soundcloud.com/kelpe/chocolate-money-ep-teaser Chomp chomp. | 11/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#4: Donga | For Shortcast #4 we move into more upbeat territory, taken there by Donga, the man behind Brighton's Well Rounded Records. This is a label which has achieved "must buy" status for anyone pushing the progressive end of the dancefloor, building a reputation in the best way a label can: by demon A&Ring and incredibly consistent quality control. To date Well Rounded has released rising stars such as Deadboy, Hackman and C.R.S.T as well as Donga himself. We first hooked up at Dubstep Forum in a discussion about something or other and Donga (real name Ashley) told us he liked Svetlana because "you never knew what to expect". While we mused over whether that was a good or bad thing he then told us he'd just sold the last of his Svetlana vinyl in his record shop to Planet Mu's Mike Paradinas, so we decided that sounded like a better thing and the conversation continued from there. It's our pleasure to finally drop into a bit of shuffle for Donga's 30 minutes. Get on this label. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Well-Rounded-Records/131471233531648 http://soundcloud.com/donga | 10/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#3: Lukid | While often associated by many people with the beats or abstract hip hop scene, Luke "Lukid" Blair's vision is a wider one. Svetlana met him on his now abandoned Monday night ustream sessions, which would last for hours, running the gamut from hardcore rave to post-punk to 70s flower folk, and attracted a small but select crowd from Brainfeeder, Jahtari, Werk and much more. This mix shows the kind of floating abstraction that's currently making him tick while we wait for new material. Enjoy x | 10/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clean#2: Coco Bryce | Coco Bryce comes out of the Dutch scene that spawned Cinnaman, Aardvarck and Viral Radio. He runs his own boutique vinyl label, M.Y.O.R., who've released s**t from Slugabed, Rekordah and soon our friends 1000names. He's also connected with the influential Lowriders Collective to whom Svetlana offers great respects, and Lowriders is going to drop a Coco release on their own neonate label very soon. Coco's scene is closer to the harder, synthier sound typified by Loops Haunt and Slugabed, but here he delivers a truly varied selection, witty, unpredictable and grittily fun.

Clean#1: Teebs | California beatmaker Teebs has been building a considerable reputation in his own quiet way. LA based and a member of the Brainfeeder collective, he was first featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' Evangeline compilation, before releasing the collaborative Tropics EP with Jackhigh on Svetlana in April 2010. He's built a reputation as much as a painter as a musician, producing the artwork for The Tropics EP as well as a series of limited handpainted covers. He's also produced commissioned artwork for a range of other artists and exhibits regularly in and around Los Angeles. His music is distinctive in being both abstract and emotional at the same time, with an almost jazz ambiguity to its mood. As of July 2010 he is currently touring the USA with Shlohmo and will release his debut album shortly on Brainfeeder's own label. http://www.myspace.com/teeeb | 7/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
