Third Person Lurkin - The Nameless City (from Dusted Wax Kingdom net label)


Who said that free stuff are not excellent?

Check out this album of unexpected quality from the Bulgarian net label Dusted Wax Kingdom. (Very "Mo Wax"-ish name, I know).

English producer Tommy Marshall (a.k.a. Marshall Artist) ventured into trip hop and the result is very cool mixture of downtempo beats, familiar samples and a great genre aesthetic.

I am quickly loving the DJ Cam-ish, The Silver Key and The Ice Sheet which elegantly uses a sample from "Knowtoryus - The Revenge Of The Bomberclad Joint", yeap the one remixed by Kruder & Dorfmeister. And that is just because I need to listen to it some more...

To be honest, he won me from track 1 (Mountain Top Temples), which could easily feature in any Bonobo album!

I am sure it will win you too.

Get this great creative commons release before he signs with a big label!

The Cutler: The new name from the "Pork Recordings" continuation



The Cutler is the electronica/downtempo collaboration of Steve Cobby (Fila Brazillia's one half) & David ‘Porky’ Brennand (founder of legendary Pork Recordings).

Formed in 2006, their debut release came in 2007 on the electronica label Steel Tiger Records (based in Hull/Sheffield and established by Cobby with Sim Lister (member of Sheffield band Chakk and now, with Steve Cobby, is in The Heights of Abraham and J*S*T*A*R*S) with the single Stiletto.

The full length album Cutler was released on 7 July 2008 and is everything I've hoped for based on the band's credentials.

Tracklisting:
01 Scimitar (3:56) [vocals] - Sarah Johns
02 Stiletto (3:43)
03 Cinquedea (5:11)
04 Gladius (4:19)
05 Tyrfing (4:58)
06 Cleaver (4:38) [vocals] - Alex Crowfoot
07 Pickaxe (5:51)
08 Claymore (3:41)
09 Hacksaw (7:23)
10 Épée (8:58) [vocals] - Sarah Johns
