![Adult Swim | ‘[Unclassified]’
It’s been three years since Adult Swim dropped the Ghostly Swim compilation in conjunction with Ghostly International, so it’s been only a matter of time before they would bless us with another comp of stellar tunes. Earlier this week, they released the free-to-download [Unclassified], which features tracks from most of the more long-standing movers in bass music (is that the least contentious name at this point?—ed). As is to be expected, there are works from Burial, Zomby, Kode 9, Ikonika, SBTRKT, and, the list goes on, really. Standing at the top of a pile of familiar names, however, is relative unknown Dauwd with the dubby and bright “Ikopol”, built for lovers of a properly-executed slow jam at house tempo with a footwork-style beat. In other words, hot. Check it out below.
Meanwhile, you can grab the entirety of [Unclassified]—for free—directly from Adult Swim.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls7tecH1Fq1qbawzso1_1280.jpg)

The latest remixes from Julio Bashmore are sounding pretty excellent right about now (and yes, despite how they’ve been named, they are brand spanking new). The man lays hands on Deadboy’s banger from back in 2009, “Heartbreaker” for Brighton-based label Housing Project (a sub-label of Well Rounded). The “2009 Mix” finds Julio giving the original the footwork treatment, while the “2010 Mix” pushes the tune into some proper house territory, with both sounding tempting, indeed. You’ll be able to find this one out on October 3/4.
P.S. For those of you who are curious, peep the original track from Deadboy below.
Events to Love: Fixup - Comma ‘Colortronics’ Release Party
This Thursday in San Francisco is officially going to be poppin’, so you may as well just plan on calling in sick on Friday, especially if you’re a bass head. 222 Hyde is hosting the final edition of Fixup, which will also be a very special release party for Comma’s Colortronics EP. (And if you haven’t already grabbed this one, you really should—you can even get a copy on a purple cassette tape!) Featuring support from DJG (Surefire), Epcot (Frite Nite), Fixup’s own Psych Tyson, and a special guest (we have our theories), this night looks set to own. Purchase tickets here—this space has very limited capacity.
And as an aside, if you were also looking forward to seeing Luke Vibert at Public Works that same night, the news looks not so good. Unfortunately his visa was delayed, and the event has been postponed. If you purchased a ticket, expect to see a refund shortly.
Preview the New Album by SBTRKT
Excellent news for all you 2step, grime, and footwork fans out there. You can now preview (and pre-order) the new self-titled album by SBTRKT (Young Turks) on iTunes, and it sounds darn good. In the meantime, pop by XLR8R to grab a copy of the track “Wildfire”, featuring Little Dragon. It’ll have to hold us all off until June 27.
This one pretty much speaks for itself. Get it at Bleep.
