Rob Huckle, the man who single-handedly built Dred Collective, and now ItalDred, has been putting out free electronic and bass tracks every week under the Free Track Thursday banner. But, unfortunately, all awesome things come to a close sooner or later, so for now, the awesome Dred Collective free weekly trax stint is over. BUT – you can download all the tracks from the link Rob posted here. Yep, ALL the trax are there.
Here is the whole Dred Collective free track thursday series, i realise you need to have a pro account to download the whole thing so will be re-uploading as a zip tomorrow night when i get home…. for now pick and choose tracks as you please footwork…juke…jungle…dnb…techno..garage..house..rave etc, go effin wild
So, I’ll make sure to post an update as soon as that ZIP file comes in.
Rob’s had a good ear to the ground for some time, promoting all sorts of tunes, including a lot of the newer footwork jungle sounds, as well the new rave-revival / ’92-era style of music. In fact, I’d say he was definitely a contributor in helping the old skool 90s rave sound start to come back into popularity. So kudos for that one, Rob!!
The dude was also kind enough to play some of my 5ifty$ix K trax out, as well! But you know, now that I’m typing all of this, I realize it sounds like some kind of weird funeral post, but in reality, the DYNASTY of Rob’s musical ambition is only just getting started, really – Dred Collective is still up, as is the new label, Ital Dred.
I recommend keeping a tab on https://soundcloud.com/dredcollective, because there’s always some new stuff up there. Also, if you’re a fan of Rob Huckle’s empire of music, definitely check out his new Italred Records. You can also hit him up on Facebook and all those sites, too.
AND BTW there are fuckin HUNDREDS of tunes, from KidLogic to redHat to Skubi to Mark Kloud to Melt Unit to Machine Girl… So, basically, a lot of the underground pioneers…
So, today Simteks hit me up and showed me this cool program. It’s ImageGlitcher, and the title pretty much explains everything. With a few different adjustmentable parameters, you can have your own awesome glitchy art in to no time. Kinda fun :)
It’s a demo someone put together, so if ya try to load a HUGE image, it might get a little, uh, glitchy… ;)
So, of course, I had fun loading up photos of folks without many clothes on, and watching the colors get all fucky and warped. Fun!
Mila Kunis glitch hop below:
Remember when the 1920s were all trippy and green n purple? Ah, me neither.
Why am I using this incredible glitch hop machine exclusively to glitch out sexy photos of girls? I be who I is, that’s why.
…and, this one below is actually not sexual, I think..
With 27 different artists, Ground Mass’ Year Zero Compilation is definitely one of the best yet!
Everyone from Duckett to Mark Kloud (who started Ground Mass) to Crypticz (who also has a number of Dynasty Shit releases) as well as Graphs, KidLogic, Nonfuture, Chango, and myself (5ifty$ix K).
One of my favorites is probably Boi-A-Gutz’s ‘Detroit Style,’ which has that old skool acidy and ghettofunky kind of beat that reminds me of a different time in electronic music.
It’s Memorial Day weekend! Folks are getting out of the house and running around and getting high and having fun and goin on road trips and doin all kinds of shit! So here’s a fun mix to blow your mind away while you enjoy the sun and do whatever you were gonna do. Use this set to turn the volume up on your day! :)
A lot of trax on this one, some of them are classics, and some of them are unreleased and completely brand-new today! Hope y’all enjoy!

‘Veselaya Karusel,’ translates to ‘Jolly Carousel.’ What is Jolly Carousel?
This:
So…. what the fuck is this? It’s an old Russian cartoon from the 1960s, and it played on Russian TV until 2002. It was sampled, along with Beavis & Butthead, for an extremely noisy and fun breakcore compilation called, ‘Moscow Breakcore Masscare.’ It was released by The RusZud label, and features 18 trax, and can be downloaded right here, for free.
It’s had thousands and thousands of downloads, but if you live out my half of the globe, I can almost guarantee you haven’t heard it. It’s a gem from 2009. Yep, five years ago.. The… ‘Good Old Days,’ …? Though I can’t imagine what was good about them, as everyone was just entering the peak of worldwide recession, but… Anyway, yep. I thought I post about this now, however, because I just found this lovely compilation this morning, and it’s crazy, and seeing as breakbeats and breakcore are starting to slowly come back, little by little, I thought I’d post about this rare-but-recent classic.
The RusZud label recently released an intriguing new breakcore compilation, entitled “Moscow Breakcore Masscare.” It features 18 new tracks from almost as many artists and has – as we see – a rather bizarre cover, too. Front and center is a well-known statue of poet Vladimir Maiakovskii (1893-1930), surrounded by large explosions, engravings of angels, evidently peeved serpents, and 19th-century engineering sketches. At the foot of this inexplicable melange of things divine, hellish, and mechanical are a couple of male DJs, with human hands and piscine bodies.
Clearly there are surprises ahead.
The biggest of these is perhaps the back cover (which we’d rather not show you). It contains a picture of Beavis holding a chainsaw to the edge of an old vinyl 45, which produces jagged red soundwaves. Over his exposed brain, decorated with rubber plungers, is a severed part of the male anatomy (i.e., someone else’s!); it is flying by with great speed, having been recently detached from its owner. What on earth this all means is unclear, until we take a look at the tracklisting. Track #16, the longest and most intricate on the album, is by Moscow’s Gnomcorps (below); its title makes reference to a “Gay Parade on Maiakovskii Square,” where our statue is located in Moscow.
Now, I know what you’re thinking… “Will, the breakcore is stupendous, simply mesmerizing, but we need more old school Russian cartoons!!! Deliver!”
Ahh, alright:
Here is ‘Как Львёнок и Черепаха пели песню’ !!!!
(‘How Lion and Turtle sang a song’)
…and, of course, more Veselaya Karusel: ‘Антошка, Два веселых гуся, Рыжий – конопатый и т.д.’ !
(‘Antoshka Two cheerful goose, Auburn – freckled, etc.’ )
