Session 008 of Sonic Router Radio finds mlr in a slower mood, stuck in a tailback and focusing a little more intently on the recent slew of hectic hip hop and skweee before the soon to be customary ‘dubstep’ mix segment.

Joining American acts like Free The Robots, devonwho & Shlohmo, with overseas vets like Hovatron, Mesak and Teebs & Jackhigh and the current crop of the UK beats circuit – AD Bourke, Boss Kite, Rudi Zygadlo & Slugabed and Tranqill the opening section seriously bumps before some hot to trot exclusives from Scuba, Kontext, SBTRKT, Eleven Tigers, XI and Starkey get warped and shuffled into some kind of sync.

No commercials. No Mercy.

Starting the new year with a new enthusiasm but a similar lack of free time your rather apologetic host, mlr, delves deep into the current crop of tunes doing the rounds inside his laptop for the first Sonic Router Radio of 2010.

Keeping as much attention as possible on fresh material he’s able to guide listeners through an upfront mixture of tempos and bass heavy styles – featuring new cuts from EPROM, 1000 Names, Pariah, Mosca, Shortstuff & Hyetal and so many more.

In celebration of sonicrouter.blogspot.com‘s 1st full year in the game; mlr warms up for the team’s 1st birthday party in Bristol on Saturday 6 Feb.

November marks the dawn both of Winter and its incredible slew of great music and a new look for Sonic Router Radio provided by Wigflex boss, Spam Chop. To celebrate the cold MLR stayed indoors all day one Sunday to properly hardwire the selection.

Picking out a couple of skweee bangers from Rigas Den Andre and Beat Bully amongst the usual dose of impeccably produced dubstep from people like 2562, Untold and Desto and slumped hip hop from the warped hard drives of Robot Koch, Pariah, Hudson Mohawke and DOOM here’s another installment of non stop/wont stop.

Sonic Router is a blog that was born in early 2009. Covering dubstep, hip-hop, techno and everything in between they’ve already procured exclusive mixes from people like Untold, Vista, The Village Orchestra, Kidkut and Rekordah and have quickly become one of dubstep’s most comprehensive blogs collating numerous mixes and free releases, as well as providing insightful interviews and reviews of up coming releases.

So, here then, is the first edition of Sonic Router Radio. Designed to reflect the diverse music being covered on the blog, this episode sees MLR dropping bombs from Slugabed, Martyn, 10-20 and Flying Lotus & Declaime.

No commercials. No mercy.
