" We mean this without any negative connotations at all: Onra is apparently big in Japan. The French electro-funk producer at least seems to frequent the country more than most of his peers do, and even crafted a two-track 7" of edits (pictured above) exclusively for his next Japanese tour. "Change of Heart" is one of those cuts, and finds the tunesmith working a little more on the dark side of his '80s-inspired production style. Grab that tune here, and make sure to check out the list of Onra's forthcoming performances after the jump. " - VIA XLR8ROnra - Edits (ACOJ7x1) by allcitydublin
" Number 10 of 10 comes from Exile (Plug Research) backed with Free the Robots (Alpha Pup). Exiles side is one track broken into four parts, continuing on from his Radio LP, with a myriad of vocal samples and an ever-changing beat this is a fittingly individualistic piece of music to the end the series with. Flipping over for Santa Ana producer Free the Robots who follows on from his recent “Ctrl Alt Delete” LP with three tracks here – the heavy organ vibes of “Young and Yet Too Old”, the MF Doom-esque sound of “Destroy” and ending the series, appropriately enough, with a shout to percussion on “To the Drum”!

" On the 9th and before last of the 10" series of All City Coleman and Ta'Raach drop 10 hip hop grooves. Check! " - Rush Hour
"Number 7 in the series showcasing the sound of two thirds of the MasterBlaster group – Dam Funk & ComputerJay. The ubiquitious Dam Funk needs little introduction. He’s definitely played at a town near you on multiple occasions in the last few years and still has time for his weekly throwdown – Funkmosphere- in Culver City keeping his hood pass most definitely intact. He gives us two tracks here – the first a delicious groover ‘Night Stroll’ and the second a more frenetic workout – ‘3012 Luv Affair’. Flipping over Computer Jay kicks off in an almost ESG-esque vein with ‘Phantom’ following with two further tracks of heavy drums and an array of analog sounds. In keeping with much of the series Jay’s side blends as one packing in a whole heap to his ten minutes. As ever it’s held together by B+ photo jacket."
