‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house came the sound of  Meatskull mixing about. This week sees the arrival of the most excellent project Reagenz – a collaboration between Move D and Jonas Sharp taking house on a journey into the cosmos, shown here on the new album’s 14 minute opener “Dinner With Q”. Brilliant.

Delve into dubstep sounds from King Midas Sound and the most recent track from Burial. Also showcasing the dub genre is former PIL bassist and world music exponent Jah Wobble on his new 10″ single on Pressure Sounds – a cover of Roy Budd’s classic title track to the film Get Carter. Of course, I had to have a christmas tune thrown in, so we’ll finish up with a bonkers version of “Silent Night” by krautrockers Can.
