norwegian duo ost & kjex make a welcomed return to crosstown rebels with a heady club cover of princes dirty mind, with a stella remix by seven davis jr. on the flip. after label boss damian lazarus asked why they hadnt sent any new music lately, talented pair ost & kjex made it their mission to make a new release for crosstown after 8 years. delivering the goods, dirty mind is a minimalistic bomb with pulsating beats and soaring synths that lead you deep into the night. ost & kjex are responsible for the huge crosstown releases how not to be a biscuit and anthem summertime with jamie jones. the duo has been releasing music for over a decade with two albums under their belt and notable releases on solomun’s diynamic amongst others. best known for his releases on classic and ninja tune, seven davis jr. is s huge prince fan and is a fitting remixer for this cover, he delivers a sleazy take on the original with a killer bassline.
seige monstracity is an anomaly in the music industry. he rides the fence, providing the contemporary soundtracks for successful commercial artists such as yg, tyrese, keisha cole, and marsha ambrosius, as well as producing grimey backdrops for underground artists like bizarre, bad lucc, and namebrand.
this is a collection of the latter. seige’s debut lp contains 12 incredible doses of heavy beats, chopped up breaks, and obliterated samples. a detroit transplant in los angeles, both cities are omnipresent at all times on the lp.
“swahililand” is a west-coast interpretation of the classic “stakes is high”. “careless” revives a classic david axelrod moment. “dirt bag” sounds like a late night liquor store robbery. “doves” takes a classic from one of our all time greats who we lost recently, and transforms it into a ride thru the hood on a beautiful day in los angeles.
this is not to be missed. another classic collection of beats from street corner music.

following on from his critically acclaimed third album basho basho, kidkanevil is back with a selection of remixes from his forthcoming basho basho remixed album. first up is a long-time friend of fw in the shape of eliphino. he provides a stunning sub-heavy mix of >the floating world<, fans of floating points, joy orbison & bukem need to check this out. next up is manchesters illum sphere, fresh from the release of his titan ep on martyns 3024 imprint (becoming only the second producer aside from 2562 to have a solo 12 inch on the label). his rebounce of >when doves bounce< does exactly that, adding spooky electronics and tougher drums to the original.
