The Tropics EP is something quite different and something quite special. The seven track mini album is the product of an 18 month collaboration between LA based beatmaker Teebs and UK producer Jackhigh, and is already attracting serious praise.

Back in the day, London based Jackhigh had already been featured as 17 year old on the genre-defining Beatnicks EPs from Up My Alley label and started to get involved in collaborations, producing remixes and so on, while an equally young Teebs found himself living in LA with Flying Lotus and Samiyam for flatmates. As Teebs remembers it, Jackhigh put a snippet of a tune he liked on Myspace and Teebs asked him to send it over. “I flipped it, sent it back. He added strings, sent it back to me again. I flipped it again” And so it continued, in a slow organic way, loops becoming processed and degraded and altered and added to, and tracks slowly emerging.

Over time a total of seven tunes emerged. These tracks were produced in a unique way: they never existed as arrangements laid out in software on someone’s computer, only as a single stereo file, passed to and fro, and endlessly worked and tweaked and eroded.

Still early into 2010 The Tropics EP is a very different record and a sign of things to come: fresh, organic, mature, holistic, unified, and totally next level.

Living up to its reputation as the largest Dubstep and soundsystem culture festival in Europe The Outlook Festival has announced several heavyweight additions to the lineup including Skream, Rodney P & Skitz, Zinc, Roska, Oris Jay, Man Like Me and The Ragga Twins.

Hailed by Time Out as a “seriously heavyweight minifest,” Outlook transports the most cutting edge music from urban Britain to the gorgeous Croatian coast bringing with the biggest names in the game along for the ride.

Now in its third year, Outlook has found a new bigger home at Punta Christo, an abandoned eighteenth century fort situated across the bay from the town of Pula. Nestled within a lush pine forest, it’s the perfect location for day time parties on the beach, out at sea and when the sun sets all night dancing under the stars.

Said Simon Scott, Outlook Director, “We don’t know how we’ve managed it but we’ve made the line up even more amazing. Adding the likes of Skream and The Ragga Twins will ensure Outlook goes down as the hottest European festival this year.”

If September feels just too far away, don’t despair as the Outlook crew will be traveling the length and breadth of the country to get you into the festival mood.

There may be no Croatian sunshine or sea kissed beaches but there are plenty of A-list DJs and producers showcasing the very best of Dubstep, Roots Soul, Dancehall, Reggae, Drum and Bass, Hiphop and Future Beats.

Lighting up the decks will be the likes of Plastician, Wachs Lyrical, Iration Steppas and Congo Natty as the Outlook Club Tour rolls in to a number of cities including Bournemouth, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield, Bristol and Liverpool, before finishing the tour in Brighton on the South coast.

Serato and Stones Throw have teamed with the J Dilla Estate for the official J Dilla Serato release, Donut Shop. This is 2 discs with six J Dilla tracks, 2 sides with Serato Control Tone (for use with Serato Scratch Live DJ software), and 2 donut slipmats in a package designed by Studio No.1.

The J Dilla tracks consist of three previously unreleased instrumentals selected by J.Rocc from the Dilla archives – “Safety Dance”, “Sycamore”, “Bars & Twists” – and three unreleased instrumental versions of Dilla’s production for Mos Def, Q-Tip and Busta Rhymes, each remastered by Elysian Masters who mixed and mastered J Dilla’s Donuts, The Shining and Ruff Draft albums.

Download Safety Dance here, or pre-order the album on Stones Throw website.

This week I wanna present you one of my favorite producers in 2010: Huess. Supported by the brand new label & blog INAUDIBLE ANSWER, I fell in love with this EP called “I’D RATHER BE THE HUNTER”. I know that today, people like this new-wonky-glitchy hip hop, because of huge producers like Flying Lotus, Ras G, Mark Pritchard, and more… But please remember that before all that post J Dilla times, people like Dabrye or Prefuse 73 were already here, rockin with new beats & interesting chopped sample styles, using the groove as a production key.

here’s a deep rooted sound to Teebs’ music that connects with our everyday surroundings. It spotlights emotional corners and builds warmth over the listener. Initially, I was drawn into Teebs’ world when I discovered his artwork. Rich in color, complex, yet leaving enough breathing room for its subjects to shine. I guess the same can be said for his production.

Teebs stays busy showcasing both side of his artistry. He’s recently coming off a very successful art show with Charles Munka in Kanazawa, Japan and putting the finishing touches on two others (info below). Music wise, he’s nearly completed his debut LP for Brainfeeder and will be releasing a collaboritive record with UK producer, Jackhigh later this month on Svetlana Industries.

There’s no slowing down for one of our next great talents and we’re very greatful he could take some time out to record this exclusive mix for BTS Radio.

Upcoming Exhibits in the Los Angeles area
+ March 1 – April 1: New record sleeves and other works at Cal State Fullerton
+ March 25 (TBC): 25 Redesigned Mochilla/Timeless posters at Mochilla HQ
