Guest Mix: C POWERS

MP3: C Powers - Rose Quartz Mix (94mb)

London (via Atlanta) producer and all around playboy C Powers aka Chris Powers skirts the periphery of a few things; small bites and longer mixes of Dilla-style hip-hop, wonky and floaty dub ala Becoming Real or Young Montana, glitchy eletronica and pop as vibed by Atlanta bros like CH-Rom or heRobust. Kinda crazy how live it all comes off and how much he seems to churn out from a place like London which I think is part of the inspiration behind this mix of warped hip-hop and slowed R&B; this is all about slowing things down or "reeling it back in" which is an idea I can totally get into (down time is important and shit) after some recent times of prolonged busy-ness.

Termeric - Gold Trot
New coasters from the perennially lucid C Powers but this time he's under the Termeric alias and really settling in to some greasier than usual London creeps, real small-flat inspired and almost dubstep vibed with one foot set in a lo-fi suuumer and the rest of the body on the dance floor. This track's gotta be the most floaty one from the new UUU Tapes release and just peaced out for us that runs down similar extensions/advancements on dub ala Becoming Real and what not.
