More shenanigans outta Edinburgh from the ever so consistent netlabel CUT. Thefft's 'The Primer EP' is causing a bit of a stir at the moment, and it seems, for good reason. His lower-tempo, rhythmic creations are stuffed with percussive snaps and clicks designed to move a dark sweaty dancefloor, with the track 'Stares' doing for me! Free download or just drop a little bit of coinage for the EP.

Something that i downloaded earlier in the year and to be honest never got around to listening to, you know filed away never to be seen again..Until yesterday while trawling through the mytea@om archives, I came across this, from a young Dutch producer, Crookram (alias Chris Angelovski) an exceptional sample-master with a def touch with production and having no insistence on any particular style.
