GALAXY HIGH...

The Blessings are DomSum and Martyn Flyn, the creative forces behind one of the hottest labels on the beat scene, Glasgow's LuckyMe. This week they released their debut EP, Galaxy High via Nod Navigators. Soncially, it's a blend of 80's R'n'B nostalgia, electro and midnight funk. Fans of Hudson Mohawke and Mike Slott should be all over this one.

OUTSIDE THE BOX...

Out this week via Ammunition is Outside the Box, the new full-length effort from dubstep pioneer Skream. The album is a little hit and miss for me as Skream bounces from genre to genre but the collabo with DBridge and Instra:mental on "Reflections" is spot on. Check out the audio after the leap.

WEAREALLGOINGTOBURNINHELLMEGAMIXXX3...

Out today via Gold Dust is Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3, the new mixtape from Def Jux head honcho El-P.

Longtime fans of El-Producto will not be disappointed.
