Our calculations led us to discover a new range of sounds within the hip-hop, dub, house, and 2-step galaxies. Onra delivers “The One,” while Alice Russell and Cee Lo Green present their latest soul creations. Madlib releases the 11th edition of his “Medicine Show” series, and UNKLE returns with a brand new single. The second half features stellar remixes, including Digital Mystikz reinventing a Mortiz Von Oswald Trio track, and Bibio doing his take on Neon Indian’s “Mind, Drips.” House tunes from Efdemin and Julio Bashmore wind things down, and we close with the latest single from George Fitzgerald on Hotflush Recordings. Trace along, with your eardrums.

We travelled great lengths to record this episode. Over the course of our trip we heard some intriguing sounds from Kompakt co-founder Jurgen Paape, talented upstart Jacques Greene, and the minimal beauty of Alveol. Later on we caught a glimpse of some familiar old friends. Marumari led us into the “Birch Beer Forest,” while the Glitch Mob and Take presented us with their latest remixes. Things slowed down a bit, and we drifted along the lazy calm with the Cocteau Twins, Arovane, and Morgan Packard. We might have made it home. Here is our audio journal.

It’s a new week, and we’re pleased to prescribe a fresh dose of future music to cure the winter blues! The first-half kicks off with a brand new instrumental cut from Ruckus Roboticus, and features some recent releases from Panda Bear (he seems to turn up everywhere these days) and Disko B artist, Console. oOoOO delivers a beautiful, genre-less track and leads into some minimal tech material from Martyn, while Scuba offers his signature to a remix of Fink’s “See It All.” More new music in the second-half: Jus Wan says goodbye with a track from his latest (and final?) release, Houses provide some infectious lo-fi sounds, and fresh tunes from Marco Bernardi and Isolee leads to a very danceable conclusion. Not to be missed.

This week was our first official show of 2011, and we brought some first class tracks to celebrate the start of our fourth year on WCRS. The first hour features some dubstep for the head, including a new single from dBridge, and a song from James Blake’s anticipated debut album. There are some still-fresh tracks from 2010 courtesy of ASC, John Roberts, Sei A, and Maxmillion Dunbar. During the second half you’ll hear new songs from Oneohtrix Point Never side-project Games, the dreamy sounds of Laurel Halo, the frantic turns of Mice Parade, and the return of Daft Punk! Our updated playlist system now has time stamps for your track-identifying needs! Enjoy.
