We’re seeing a lot of great collaborations this year. The latest may be from the innovative producers Burial and Four Tet. I’m saying “may be” because the release has been such a well-kept secret that no one really knows if it’s a collaboration or if it’s just a split release. Either way, I’m really diggin’ it. The a-side, “Moth,” is a beautiful 9 minute minimal tune. Although it’s extremely repetitive, I could listen to it for hours. The b-side, “Wolf Club,” sounds as if Four Tet had a heavier hand in it. It’s a choppy tech-house track with Asian influences. It’s a bit on the long side, but still a very cool tune. I actually like these tracks better than Burial’s and Four Tet’s solo tracks. Maybe Will Bevan and Kieran Hebden should become a permanent duo. Thoughts?

Emalkay’s latest tracks, “When I Look at You” and “Angie Got Stoned” are HUGE! They’re deep and dirty dubstep/left-field tunes that need to get cut immediately. Emalkay posted clips of each track to his site three weeks ago, but hasn’t mentioned anything about a release. DJs at dubstepforum are going crazy trying to find full versions.

Compared to Emalkay’s previous releases, these tracks are much more chill and groove oriented. They’re totally hypnotic and the use of female vocals as rhythmic elements works perfectly. I normally prefer dark and heavy dubstep, but i just can’t stop listening to these tunes.

From being somewhat new to the scene, Emalkay’s been extremely busy. He has DJ sets booked for the next 7 months and recently remixed Two Fingers’ “What You Know About.”
Hopefully we’ll hear about a release soon and maybe he’ll even drop the full tracks here at Sawtooth…
