Scratch that glitch…
Glitch (or Wonky/Boogie/Lazer Bass/etc…) has been gaining momentum for the past couple of years now with influences including all sorts from downbeat, jazz, hip-hop, acid and dubstep to the noise your old Commodore 64 made when it threw a fit. It also seems to have collected as many genre names as there are producers (but don’t call it aquacrunk or you’ll make Flying Lotus cry, and also it sounds stupid).
Tracks can range from the relatively laid back, spaced-out hip-hop of people like The Gaslamp Killer up to the heavier, 8-bit influenced tracks by Rustie, edIT and the like. Infact the only thing that really links alot of the music together is a general sense of off kilter head-fuckery brought on by off beat drums and synth rhythms.
So, if you think that sounds like it’s up your alley (or you already know full well it is) then here’s some free tracks from recent glitch releases we like for you to wrap your ears around:
Sugarpill – Some Say The (from Flow Goggles EP)
This one, taken from L.A DJ/Producer Sugarpill’s new Flow Goggles EP, is more on the wobbly side of things with plenty of low bass and dubstep influenced beats. Get the free track from his site here or go here to buy the full EP at Juno. You can also check his blog for plenty of other tracks and mixes.
Dam Mantle – Theatre ( from Purple Arrow EP)
A more laid back sound for this one, good end of the night music for when you’re feeling slightly more, er, “fragile”. You have to sign up to the mailing list here to get the free download but you can also check out the streaming version of the full EP while you’re there and order the 12″ vinyl which includes a digital download as well.
Error Broadcast / Various Artists – Fly Russia (Full Album)
The Error Broadcast label is easily my favourite recent find, surely in the running for the ‘most generous bastards’ award. They offer free, low quality (192kbps, so not that low) versions of a good number of their albums, along with free beat tapes and mixes. This particular gem is a collection by Russian glitch producers that ranges from chilled out to “Oh my god my NES is going to explode”. Grab the download here or follow the links to buy the high quality version featuring extra tracks.
Enjoy!

Hexstatic – Ninja Tune (Akira Kiteshi Remix)
Hexstatic were kind enough to send us over a link to this new A/V mashup/remix they’ve put together in collaboration with Akira Kiteshi for a ninja themed show in London on 2nd October. It’s got bassy, glitchy audio noises and ninjas dressed in pink, what more could you possibly ask for in life?

Rubadub Birthday Tonight @ Rendezvous, St Helens
Hello there! This post is a bit late going up but fuck it, we’re just a naturally shoddy bunch. If any of you lot are looking for some filth and/or bass tonight and have the steely resolve necessary to brave the harsh, feral jungles of St Helens then get down to Rubadub’s 1st birthday shindig kicking off at 8pm.
They’ve been getting good music out of the cities and onto your doorsteps for a whole 12 months now, and on top of that they’re leaving your bank balance well alone so it’d only be polite to go along and say cheers! As they say themselves:
“We don’t want your money but we do want your ears.”
Line Up:
Tika/Bean (Residents) – Roots n Stuff
Jennifer Coghlan Fidgety – Dubstep
Oddbwar (No Excuses) – Par-tay records
OddFellow (Dont Panic, Paceyourself) – Hubadubstep
Tony Loco (No Excuses) – Baltimore and more!
Sam Wipeout (Glitch) – DnBnC
Reso @ Don’t Panic 1st Birthday!
It’s been almost a year since Don’t Panic first opened its doors to you lot and as you know its been a bumpy ride (what with every venue in the world shutting down and all that palava!), but we couldn’t, shouldn’t and didn’t give up, due to the support of you wonderful people!
In celebration of our birthday we’re having a hefty great all-nighter, and bringing a very special headliner along to ruin you all in the best possible way.
Reso is easily one of our favourite producers. One of the biggest names in dubstep with support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbes and Rusko, with each release he seems to get better and better and judging by his recent ‘Temjim’ EP this looks set to continue. He is also an amazing DJ as anyone who’s witnessed him before can tell you, and is guaranteed to cause untold aural joy.
Supporting will be a host of amazing local DJ’s and our own lovely residents.
