Various Artists - Brownswood Electr*c 3 (LP art)
It was feeling like it'd been a year (or more) since Brownswood Electr*c 2 enlightened us on must-have tracks from Gang Colours and Koreless (among others)--and here, right on time from the future is a sampler for the 3rd installment of that compilation series dedicated to cybernetic soul from Gilles Peterson's renowned Brownswood label. That's all you need to know, really except that BWE3 drops on September 24th. Click play below to hear the new tracks from Djrum, Metabeats, Dub Phizix and more and get familiar with your new favorites via the full tracklist and description (after the jump).
Brownswood electr*c 3 unveils brand new heat from Kidsuke (Kidkanevil and Daisuke Tanabe’s new project); the hotly tipped Djrum with Shadowbox on vocal duties; Brighton based duo Anushka (on a gorgeous Moodymann-esque trip); The Risks (a Monolithium / Hrdvsion collaboration); Metabeats (Darkhouse Fam / C.R.S.T.); Jaded Laur (repping Glasgow’s All Caps crew); Plezier; Aftawerks; Russian king of the beats BMBxSpaceKid; Lost Twin and Frank Rodas.
Opening and closing proceedings respectively are Krampfhaft – the Dutch producer behind one of the most exciting (and slept-on) EPs of last year via Rwina Records – and Dub Phizix feat. Fox, whose twisted bashment-infused riddims command respect (and rewinds) from the likes of David Rodigan as much as dBridge. In simple terms 'Never Been' is one of the biggest sound system killers of 2012, and we’re delighted to be able to include this exclusive VIP version. Also featured is Pomrad from Antwerp’s Ooh Wee clique – working the angles on a frenzied, bouncy West Coast funk tip.
