New York – catch Jubilee tonight at Glasslands Gallery, alongside UK heavy hitters Addison Groove and Doc Daneeka. Get tickets here.
More treats for our pets today. Finnish lab tech Gremino hit us off with some unreleased dark garage for freeload. He brings his trademark raw dog electronic flavor, Ginsu bass stabs, and monster pauses. It especially jumps off at around 2:00 when eerie, charged winds start filling the sails towards moodier waters. Keep your eye on him, he’s got a lot of ill work on deck. Also grab his newest EP on LA’s Fade To Mind, Let’s Jack. And he sells beats you can cop by hollering at him on his Soundcloud, where you can preview them too. (GIF via rizzlemyworld.)

dreskull: RT @Drake @PopcaanMusic musical ting called Yiy Change mixtape. Mawd ting.
This is the kind of tune you’d expect to hear at a warehouse rave, all dark and stiflingly hot. Disembodied vocals wail over pumping elevator cable bass while an elephant 4×4 kick shakes loose rust and random parts from the ceiling. Sentel is a Polish duo building off the positive reception of their first release, Chapel 20. London’s Senseless Records blessed us with this one as an exclusive free download, but the EP it appears on drops next week. Stream the rest on their Soundcloud or cop their current record by Venezuela’s Pocz and DJ Yirvin, the Explotala EP.

Earlier this year, the Akwaaba label kindly gave away the acapella for huge Ghanaian hit ‘Agyeeei’ by R2Bees as part of a remix contest. Mixpak’s Dubbel Dutch took the vocal and flipped it over a deep dancehall bassline and a heap of jumping synth & percussion. It’s up for free download:
