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.
