You'll Soon Know

Edit - Pound for Pound

You should all know about Edit by now, he has been making incredible music for many years and is one of the three members of The Glitch Mob (seen above). This freebie is being given away to help promote their European tour which is happening this summer (and I am going to have to check out as always), so get yourself down to a show if you’re in Europe. Also if you enjoyed the track I highly suggest you check our their new XLR8R mix which just dropped in the last few days as well and packs some serious heat!

Strand - Dub!

Download: Strand - Dub!

Spanish producer Strand moved to Brussels three years ago. After his collaboration with Non Genetic in 2008 (‘Madrid 2 Los Angeles’, on Project Mooncircle 2008 with remixes from Hudson Mohawke and others), Strand teams up with the likes of Laid Back Radio and artist Olivier Binamé for a very special release.

You can download Strand’s new 7” dub for free here and if you’re feeling it and the artwork you can get your hands on one of the 300 limited edition physical copies too!

Pariah - Detroit Falls

Download: Pariah - Detroit Falls

I’d not heard of Pariah up until a few months back, but his first release I was aware of ‘Detroit Falls’ and ‘Orpheus’, is one of those 12’s you’ll just be going back to again and again. Orpheus is a dubsteppy future garage treat but I was surprised when flipping to hear Detroit Falls being some seriously dope beat business. Awesome use of samples and super catchy, this one is definitely a favorite! (via)

Breakage doesn’t half know how to bang out the tunes, seems like every week something new pops up from that man! He definitely goes in deep with this one on his dubstep / garage flex, it’s well worth a listen, enjoy! (via)

Fatima x Funkineven - A Cut Above Mix

I can’t remember the last time I posted a full mix up on YSK. I guess there are a lot of average mixes floating around the net to be fair, but once in a while a straight banger comes up like this one! Been a huge fan of Fatima and Funkineven since day dot and we have posted up mp3s from them before. Anyway, today I spotted this Mix by Lefto showcasing their music and celebrating A Cut Aboves 2nd anniversary. Contains some of the best music out there, you’re sure to enjoy this one!

If you dig it you can pre-order the album now, it’s dropping 2nd August 2010 on CD and digital.

Kraddy - Ludacris vs Sebastia

We’ve always been big fans of Kraddy over here at YSK, the man helped paved the way for plenty of bass, glitch and beats (shit words I know) you hear these days. The ex Glitch Mobber will be dropping more mashups over the next few weeks along the same vibe as this one which are sure to be tight. Keep an eye out here and on his site for more of this flex! Oh and many of you will be pleased to hear he has an album dropping in the near future on Alpha Pup, so eyes peeled for that…
