1. El Guincho - . What caught my attention here was the genre label "Tropical". Now what is "Tropical" music I had to ask. I am glad I did. My description is this: electronic, funk, brazillian and major chords all mixed together to make, get this, happy music! That's so different it is actually cool. My recommendation for the week, as the grey fall weather settles in. Also, he will be playing the ElMo in Toronto at the end of November, I probably can't make it, if anyone does, let me know how the show is.

2. Ikonika - Millie EP (Hyperdub, 2008) . Couldn't find too much about this female dubstep/grime artist. She is on the Hyperdub label, which helped to pioneer the dupstep scene in London UK. Heard rumours that she is starting her own label too. Her sound is mellow, two-steppy with the addition of some bleeps and eletronic samples that makes her sound stand apart from her label mates. This is someone that has taken a new genre in a completely different direction, so it will be worth following her and seeing what she does next.

3. Gagle - Hidden Music Value (Columbia,2008). I'll be honest, I have no idea what they are saying. I don't know Japanese. But what I do know is that these chill Dj Krush style beats and the smooth, rhythmic rhymes all combine to some of the nicest aesthetic hip-hop I have heard in awhile. I bet the lyrics are pretty good too.
