Now I know everyone has been busy on their own little easter egg hunts, whether they be around your house, back yard, the damp streets of Shoreditch or traipsing through the blogosphere… but it’s now time to kick back and gorge on your loot which is why I’m sharing this post/mix with you… perfect for a long weekend lie in.

This week we’ve got a mix from an up and coming star in the Dubstep scene, Kito is a producer from one of the most isolated cities on the planet, Perth, Australia is home to a growing Dubstep scene and thriving Dnb community that you brought you the likes of Pendulum. Currently signed to Skream’s label Disfigured Dubs. She’s been on Mary Anne Hobbs show on Radio One and is tipped to be one of the next big things in Dubstep. Recently relocated to London and currently touring through Europe you can catch her unique take on Dubstep on the 23rd of April at Deadly Rhythm @ The Legion in London.

Now I might be a bit slow off the bat with this one but I’ve been hearing this track on quite few mixtapes over the past few months Hudson Mohawke’s Essential and Debruit’s FACT mix to name a couple….. so I thought I’d investigate it a bit further and it turns out there’s an amazing story behind the funky beat your about to hear.

This is the story of Red a homeless beatboxer from Los Angeles who was discovered practicing his unique talents in the car park of HVW8 Gallery a design and photography studio.

For those of you lucky enough to be in Dalston tomorrow night Slugz & Boyson are fronting a huge ware-step party called Highly Blessed (thats a dubstep warehouse party….If everyone else can make crossbreed abbreviations i can too!) We’ve been privileged enough to receive a 30min promo mix for the night and its sounding pretty hot, in a rip your head off and spit down your neck kinda way… and I definitely want to share that kinda of sonically graphic experience with you. Enjoy.

Hailing from Brittany in France but now a London Local dÉbruit is a talented french producer banging out some of the best wonky, electro synth soaked beats this side of the globe. In his words “I’m dEbruit, synth breeder, beat baker and rhythm keeper. I make music in styles you can’t name and a genre that doesn’t exist…”

Combining elements of 80s hip hop, west coast electro funk and a huge array of world music into a disjointed groove dÉbruit really is a head of the curve even in the newly emerging “wonky” scene. He’s part of the Musique Large crew which is also home to Fulgeance who pumps out slighty more bass heavy grimey “un-steady hop”.

Now here’s one of dÉbruit’s earlier stand out tracks that will have you groovin’ all the way to the movies Bang’s style.

With Wu-tang releasing a hip hop/dubstep crossbreed album, Hudson Mohawke bringing us his unique style of electro-crunky-wonk-hop with hit debut album Butter and Raekwon the Chef bringing us yet another awesome album, 2009 hasn’t just been a huge year for electronic music it’s been a massive year for hip hop too (that’s right folks it’s not dead yet!).

On that note a talented UK DJ by the name of Chris P Cuts has put together a mix to mark closing of yet another decade of hip hop. Chris P has been active in the London scene for a number of years now, his latest mix is called “Going in 2009″ and it sure is tasty stuff. It’s got all the best hip hop joints from 2009 with a few leftfield electronic numbers thrown in for good measure. Enjoy it!

I’m not going to dwell on Flying Lotus for too long, as everyone probably already knows just how interesting and varied his productions are and has no doubt seen him live at some point in the last few years, if not I highly recommend checking out his shows.

Sorry for the delay on this one guys, been super busy and it’s been sitting on my computer for a while waiting for my love and attention. But here you have it Hudson Mohawke, the new king of wonk, the man everybody is talking about has just done a BBC Radio 1 Essential mix. And it’s pretty darn good too, showcasing anything you can groove to with a good wonk dance, from dirty south hip hop to fluffy electro funk! Have a listen and judge for yourself.

I’ve spent a long time talking and thinking about starting up something musical online to give back to the community that has given me so much over the years, and I guess that opportunity starts today….

So just to get everyone started I’d like to present a mix from a small time Australian DJ who dabbles in production currently residing in London (UK), he goes by the name Snifit. This mix is titled “Wobble Bleep Volume 1″ and is a first in a series he’s running. I chose it as it’s a fairly diverse mix and explores many of the genres I hope to further document within these virtual pages in the near future.

This mix starts off with some Wonky Hip Hop and Future Beat, then adds a dash of Funky Breaks, a splash of Glitch and finishes off with a tasty hint of Dubstep

Enjoy on a damp, dreary Sunday in London with High Tea or Scones for best results … not after a visit to the dentist with only watermelon to comfort you…
