Since releasing Mammals On the Brink Timonkey’s productions have been evolving into even more diverse textured sounds and beats, his recent Cloud City EP turned even more heads and has proven to be appealing to fans of Trip Hop, Dub, downtempo, Illbient and Glitch Hop.
May 2008 will see the release of Timonkeys new album ‘Cerulea’ that takes the listener on a journey through all the tasty leftfield genres that we’re fast coming to expect from Timonkey.
The album will be available on CD and in digital formats. Check out Timonkey’s two recent mixsets below which include some of the forthcoming material.
Heyoka AKA Andrei Olenev is another cosmic audio waveform manipulator who recently delighted us at Muti Music with his auditory explorations. While reading, you may want to check out some of his forthcoming tunes on Muti on our ‘Player’ on the top menu bar.
We found him floating in the Bay Area noosphere after being called to our attention by another emerging talent in San Francisco and a bar night called ‘Beat Church’ where he has shredded a few dance - floor - boards in the past few months. Continue reading Blog - Emerging Artist Heyoka…
The world of electronic music is far greater than nightclubs and parties and even transcends the ecstatic dance experience that in itself can change lives and consciousness.
People connecting at a grass roots level through dance music have the ability to raise dialogue about relevant issues, utilize their connection in music and dance as a form of protest , compose sound that alters people at a vibrational level and also to form communities and be able to raise funds to help those in need.
www.NextAid.org is a perfect example of an organization using the conscious dance community to provide sustainable solutions to communities in need.
This particular organization holds a particularly strong bond with us at Muti Music as it is involved in providing growth and support in our label and namesakes motherland ‘South Africa’, where the AIDS epidemic and the devastation of communities has left millions of children orphaned. For an introduction to NextAid and to hear how you can help them further please check out the promo video below featuring many of dance musics top figures including Kaskade, Mark Farina, J-Boogie, Louie Vega and more (you can also see Muti’s Dov DJing at their one benefit last year at the 2:20 minute mark in video).

Suff-x AKA Bryce Elder has sought to push the boundaries of breakbeats in the Pacific Northwest for over ten years and also been featured at gigs alongside Uberzone, Terry ‘Atomic’ Hooligan, KiloWatts, Tipper, Radioactive Man, Ben Milstein, Kraddy, Dov & Bil Bless and many more luminaries of the breakbeat / electro scenes.
His connection to Muti Music began with a ‘Virus Crew’ gig that Muti owner ‘Dov’ played at in 2002, there meeting the very unique and standout talent in the form of Suff-x.
This chance meeting resulted in a few years of back and forth with Suff-x coming down to San Francisco to be featured alongside Radioctive Man AKA Keith Tenniswood, Dov & Kraddy venturing up to Portland and Seattle to play with Suff-x and Terry Hooligan and then sharing the stage that Suff-x put together at the Phoenix Festival that also featured Ben Milstein and Dave Tipper.

Suff-x shows up at gigs with what looks like a regular DJ coffin and when he opens it up reveals one of the most unique live setups most people have seen, setting him well apart form most ‘laptop’ live sets and DJs alike.
His armada of gear includes two samplers, X/Y controller pads, DJ mixer and a multitude of little gadgets that blink, glow and glitter in nightclub settings.
He juggles tracks, effects, broken tidbits, squiggly snippits, and boogie-down basslines off of his dual samplers set up in battle-style fashion, giving a nod to his turntablist counterparts–the majority of which wouldn’t keep up versus a “scratch mode” session on his korg kaoss mixer!

Dust storms and bio-diesel generators vibrating amongst a haze of awe, exaltation, celebration and emotion, bass blasts out of a mutant vehicle set up at ‘no-where in particular’, roughly lining up between 3.15 and ‘The Man’ and near the snake sculpture, a crowd moshes and bounces to bass-driven, crunk mutations of something that must be dance music, by the fact that people are clearly dancing to it.
Justice - Nazereth tears the sound system a new portal and the systems grinds down to a shreak, radio waves pulsate through the air and a PA announcement,”You are listening to an-ten-nae radio 91.1FM.” This is ‘an-ten-nae’ AKA Adam Ohana, bringing it amongst the likes of Freq Nasty, Adam Freeland, Lee Coombs, Glitch Mob and many more dance music luminaries at Burning Man.

Sometimes we like to share a little more than just what is going on with Muti Music and right now we are really feeling what this guy Ghislain Poirier is up to on Ninja Tune. He is doing the crunky combination of Glitch-Hop and dubstep and a whole lot in between.
No longer an underground secret to Montreal, Ghislain Poirier is on the global production map. Not only does he know how to drop some of the illest beats dub / glitch hop / crunk / soca / grime beats, he is a production force to be taken seriously.
Prior production includes work for labels; Institubes, Intr_version, 12k, Scape and Resofantom.
His 2003 and 2005 albums, ‘Beats and Politics’ and ‘Breakupdown’ on Chocolate Industries helped break the mold and his latest outing, No Ground Under (ZEN138CD), was snatched up by none other than Ninja Tune and is setting a new standard for wompy, bassline bounce driven tracks.
