Following a tangy green taster 10″ for Team Acre, 1000 Names graduate to upper skool with a full album for Black Acre. ‘Illuminated Man’ sheds more light on their mixture of IDM, post-Dilla hiphop and electro-jazz. We’re reminded of everything from the astral electro synths of Space Dimension Controller to Fulgeance’s Afro-inflections, but the duo stick with their own pace and sense of groove construction to warrant the attention coming their way. With this and the stream of goodies from Blue Daisy, Black Acre is shaping up as one of Dubstep’s most exciting labels of 2010.

Oscar McClure’s ‘Compost’ is organic experimental hip hop grown with bodily sounds, everyday objects, field recordings and an SP-303. Through his use of extended techniques and chance procedures, McClure associates various musical and non-musical materials to form a sonic ecosystem. Both noisy and meditative, this collection of atmospheric textures and phasing beats cultivates the boundaries shared between contemporary improvised music and hip hop.

**Translucent Yellow Vinyl** A choice meeting of minds from Team Acre, pitting the wits of Blue Daisy and Tokimonsta in a heavyweight dose of hiphop futurism. ‘USD’ is nothing short of a full blown anthem for the fluorescent hiphop brigade, bursting at the seams with glossy hi-end synths and crushed electro bass concealed within densely compressed sound sphere for that fugged-up effect.

‘Free Dem’ is a differently wired beast, focussing on a tense mid-range section with a woozy surface patina of fluid metallic pads and reeling arpeggios for the club. For the Rustie, Illum Sphere and Dorian Concept fiends – this is a must.
