ASTROCAST7: Lapalux

ASTROCAST7 is full of earnest texture-laden, bass heavy experimental hip-hop courtesy of Essex-based producer LAPALUX (Stuart Howard). With his unique way of marrying tactile scapes and ground shattering beat elements, Lapalux has proven himself to be about as versatile as it gets in the wide world of futurist electronic music.


This mix has a triumvirate of unreleased Lapalux tunes that will do well to characterize his sound for the uninitiated, but really we would encourage folks to download the three EPs he has self-released in the last two years (see links below).


Stay tuned for the next Lapalux EP, Many Faces Out of Focus, out on Pictures in April, and cop the cassette, duhh!!

MIKE BUBBLES - "BUBBLEWORKS"




The last time we heard from our strange acquaintance Mike Bubbles was about half a year ago when he sent over his Summer Bunnies mix to help welcome in the new season, as well as all the sunshine babes that come with it.

NOW THE KID'S FINISHED HIS EP & IT'LL BE OUT IN TWO DAYZ ON MR. LIPP'S LABEL OLD TACOMA RECORDS (MARCH 22nd)

"BUBBLEWORKS" contains six tracks full of warmth, sunshine, and synthesizers emulating his idols (teddy riley, herbie hancock, dj quik and roger troutman to name a few...) whilst adding his own bubbly touch to it.
