this weeks selection comes from a man dubbed by mixmag as "madlib and j dilla meets boards of canada" which is more than enough to make us stand up and pay attention. paul white has been hoovering up plaudits like that with his skewed take on hip-hop, bass heavy beats and leftfield sounds for the last couple of years. fans of his releases on one handed music include diplo, gilles peterson and mary anne hobbes. he is currently readying his next album 'paul white and the purple brain' for release on stones throw's sister label now-again in the new year.

but before that, this week he has come together once more with one handed to offer an early christmas present in the form of his album-length beat tape 'sounds from the skylight' filled with woozy and wonderful new material named in honour of paul's south london attic studio. go here to sign up for a download of side-a with side-b due to hit inboxes on the 30th november. wax addicts fear not - you can get the release on vinyl from all the usual retailers including boomkat, sound of the universe or directly from one-handed alongside the free download. so go gorge yourself on the beat-tape and then dig in to the complimentary 'mixing in the skylight' selection.

podcast subscribers may notice a little extra nugget in this weeks feed. one of our favourite artists jesse somfay has remixed the debut allez-allez cut 'defeatist' and turned it into a woozy ten minute epic that we felt you couldn't be without. it is available to all podcast subsribes now - if you've now done so you can join the feed here.




on saturday the 12th december we get back in the saddle after being rudely knocked off by an over-zealous roadworker who killed all the power in cargo and we've got a terrific bill for our return.

joining us is man of the moment matias aguayo. he has long been one of the jewels in kompakt's crown with his solo work and releases with broke and closer musik. 2008 has definitely been his year with the launch of his comeme label (responsible for one of the eps - and videos of the year in rebolledo's guerrero) and the recent releases of his second solo album 'ay ay ay'. an utterly unique mixture of house, techno, latin and franky indescribable it is a key long player for 2009 and is likely to feature high in many end of year lists - especially ours. his live set is a loopy joy to behold and ideally suited to the party season.

also from the kompakt stable is our other guest shumi. a mainstay on the kompakt scene - this year he entered the production ring with his jump for joy ep on kompakt. we played with shumi at his legendary gruezi club and confirm as a dj he is the real deal. we're really excited about showing him off to the london crowd. and of course we'll be there provide our own mix of the weird, wonderful and danceable throughout the night.

to get you in the mood check out this mix matias did for us back in the early days of allez-allez here. and here's a brilliant mix shumi made for the kompakt podcast here.
