Wonderful podcast-mix recorded for STATE by Borland. Watch them run crashing through the genres in this well-fun set from January 2010.

Borland will be opening the main-room at STATE: Chapter One at 10pm on Saturday 30th January, and opening the bassment at 11pm.

Introducing… Borland

Borland is the ‘post-rock/electronica’ guise of Robert Gregg (aka Anclove) and Ian Breen. These two lads spend their days hanging around the bars and art houses of Manchester’s Northern Quarter and their nights planning to attack the ‘indie’ music establishment.

Borland will be opening the upstairs room at 2200 and bassment at 2300 on Saturday 30th with a up-beat iPod set. And hopefully we’ll be getting the lads down to do a live set for you all in the not too distant future.

Until then, here is my favourite track from their recently released House EP (available now for download on Bandcamp).

New, original, official, inclusive not exclusive; joining us at STATE on 30th January 2010, Orland Makebelieve. This is ‘The Diary of Catherine Real‘ put together by Orlando especially for you.

Another Amit – Man Make Music reppin’ for STATE

danielfogg — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:45:36 +0000

Amit Gudka a.k.a Another Amit is one the three original founders of London’s Man Make Music night. Together with Noel Mas, Sketchy and a whole host of other musical heads including our own Mikey Misi and Quincey Real, they set up one of London’s freshest, most versatile and most fun club nights. They individually and collectively introduced me and many others to people like Claude von Stroke and Sebo K.

After being in hibernation since their massive throw down in collaboration with Eastern Electrics on New Years Eve, Another Amit and Quincey Real will be joining us in the basement on Saturday 30th January for some viral musical madness.

To whet your appetite, here’s a warm-up mix Amit pulled together for the ‘Kevin Saunderson – History Elevate’ Album Lunch back in May 2009. Enjoy.

Paul White? Who is Paul White?

And then there was Paul White, sounding like what would happen if you let DJ Shadow loose in the BBC Sound Archives. To label Paul ‘UK Hip Hop’ is at once both totally inaccurate and at the same time absolutely spot on. I’ve pulled together a collection of mixes, reviews and even a free download for you kids to enjoy. Expect beautiful synths, soaring strings, jammin’ beats, glitches, and 70’s television samples.

‘No, no, no, a little more humanity please.’

Below is a guest mix Paul dropped on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBC Radio 1 show from 12th January ‘09. Featuring tracks from Paul’s debut album ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’. (Be patient and let it buffer)

‘Filled with a deliciously deft aural trickery, you get the impression that only someone truly in love with music could have created it…’ From a review of Paul’s first album. Hear more here.

And finally, ‘19 weird and wonderful beat constructions fresh from Paul’s South London attic studio, known as ‘The Skylight’. Woozy, psychedelic hiphop from one of the most fertile imaginations of our time.’
