Already out of the blocks for 2012 come the ever reliable Net Label CUT's 9th release. Existance - AKA Louis Hunt, produces three excellent tracks of deep dubstep influences from the vocal-led "Miles Apart" (my personal fav) to the piano-driven bliss of Pelennor Fields, continuing the emotive sounds of the existing Cut catalogue...Free Download. 
Sigmafly (Σ-Fly) is Manchester based Tom Holmes. Fresh from his incredible free EP on Essay's Warminal label he's put together a blinder EP for those quality purveyors of fine muzik CUT. Taking the musical aesthetics from the likes of Boards Of Canada, Lapalux, Burial and some of the previous Cut producers like Great Skies or Essay, Tom envelops all the great parts and ultimately produces his own emotive, melodic and beautifully deep take on the style.With carefully considered layers of intricate sound, chimes, piano, vocal snippets and echoing percussion these truly crafted pieces of outstanding audio make for great individual pieces, but combined, as an EP you can really appreciate the value of his aesthetic.

Jus dropped into my inbox from the irresistible remixer/re-edit master Leftside Wobble, here he's re-jiged the Classic Bobby Konders track, an adaption of the intro section that uses another BK classic 'Nervous Acid' to draw you in whilst maintaining the atmospherics of the original Mutabaruka spoken word intro before dropping into the classic groove...Niceeeee!
Head over to bandcamp and receive some gem tunes from the Label Love collective of imprints now on vol 3..Another beautifully compiled sampling of unreleased music from some of the best independent labels worldwide.
