MP3 Download // £3.95
FLAC Download // £4.95The Blessings are DomSum and Martyn Flyn, two cats behind one of the best labels in the world right now, Glasgow's LuckyMe. While their label has given birth to some milestone rekkids like Hud Mo's 'Ooops' 12" and the American Men album, they've kept their own beats on the downlow, choosing to release these six sweet 'n crispy blends of New Jack Swing, electro and midnight funk on Nod Navigators. In 'Arisseee Henson' they ooze purple soundtrack synth juice from every pore, and on 'Faberge' take off from the same base as Hud Mo's lazer funk, before the centrepiece 'Moranis Riding Ants' m… Read more
Visionary prog-hop escapades from Spanish beat manager Mwëslee. We were suitably impressed with his odd offerings for All City's 7" series and the original 'Beat Dimensions' compilation but since then his output has been slow to say the least. That may account for the glut of ideas bursting out of 'Eurocarne' as he deftly combines elements of wonked R'n'B with hi-end electronic experimentalism and an almost avant-jazz sensibility across six tracks. For a starters we get the bagpipes, Reese bass and almost math-rock percussion of the title track sounding like Hud Mo rubbing off Pivot, before … Read more

Digging deeper into the Tom Trago archives... prior to his ace 'Voyage Direct' series, Nod Navigators dropped this 'Dam fine EP of broken beats and hiphop back in 2007, displaying a range of dope downbeats with shades of Aardvarck's Bloom 12"s, especially on 'Something New' and the excellent 'Burst', while ''Kip Cayun' will excite the Actress fans and 'Fluorgreen Legged G_Skip' is like Steve Spacek on some cosmic chronic vibes. Bumpin'.

Mweslee is the recording alias of Spanish producer Diego Cobo, who made his debut on Kindred Spirits' Nod Navigators sub-label with this six-track EP. The dirtied up beats of lead track 'Mweslee' really hit the spot, and the EP soon develops into a sequence that would slot in nicely alongside works by producers such as Dabrye and the like. More great beats arise from 'Raw War' and closing track 'Hot Curry', with its massive handclaps, but by modern standards, this does tend to sound rather clean. However, what these productions lack in digital dirt and maxed-out compressors they more than make up for with melodic awareness and neat sample-splicing.

CD // £13.99*10 TRACK CD EDITION* Steaming hot goodz from the man on everyone's lips - Dorian Concept. We can easily classify Dorian with the the wave of new producers you'd expect to find on the Kindred Spirits imprint and the Wonky scene, with shades of everyone from Flylo to SamIyam and Dabrye audibly apparent on 'The F*cking Formula', a monster synthfunk special with vocodered robovox, crushed 8-bit flavours and metallic snares also reminding us of Harmonic 313's juicy future hiphop squeeze and already championed by pretty much everybody. The 12" also acts as a precursor to the forthcoming … Read more
BACK IN STOCK. A kaleidoscopic myriad of skewed astrokrunk and neon burning synthlines from the hugely tipped Dorian Concept outta Vienna, Austria. Taking cues from the widest possible blend of sources, Dorian Concept has created a multi-facted album of immense quality and longevity, fusing technical jazz flair with intense programming skills, and strictly bumping beats with abstract electronica harmonics for a head sweltering affair. This album will find fans on all corners of the musical universe, from the anthemic 'The Fucking Formula' finding its way onto Benji B's Deviation s… Read more

Prolific master beatsmith Aardvarck turns his hand to some sloooow sh*t for Kindred Spirits and Nod Navigators. This man has a scary knack for turning whatever style he chooses into his own, here steering away from his usual housier climes with a selection of beathead explorations that touch on the styles of Dilla, Recloose, or Kaman Leung over the 9 tracks, but never loosing that seal of inimitability that is really so shocking here. From the super modified squelches of 'smurf' to the cut up samba flavours of 'revo' the beats shift and mutate restlessly from track to track seriously scaring us wit… Read more
