New Music: She Is Danger

l_50f50960891d453884ae43ea85c0009d

For those of you who think dubstep is contrived strictly by the male gender, I’m not at all sad to inform you that you’re mistaken.

She Is Danger is Maya Jane Coles and Lena Cullen. The female duo from the UK write, produce, engineer and perform all of their own music and according to MySpace are likened to a “modern day Burial meets Portishead, with hints of Massive Attack and Kosheen.”

Nice.

A single is coming mid-December, with the full album  in Spring 2010.

20 years of Warp

Warp20

This year, the seminal independent record label Warp Records celebrates 20 years of releasing cutting-edge electronic music.

In honor of their 20th anniversary I’ve put together a mix highlighting a few favorite tracks.

When creating a mixtape I usually start with a playlist of anywhere from 40-60 songs and shape it down from there. It ‘s always painful to make these edits, but this time was particularly difficult because there are so many important songs that have been released over the years I’m sad to not include.

I wound up with a selection of singles I love – and have meant a lot to me over time – rather than a generalized “best of” list, which can tend to be so subjective.

If you’re also a fan of Warp, don’t forget include your favorites in the comments section!

The link is at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
