MIXTAPE - THEOPHILUS LONDON.
Poised to make some big moves in '09, Brooklyn's Theophilus London neccesitates some attention. The rising MC has a knack for versing over raw eletronic patterns, stuff that lies somewhere between the minimal thump of Berlin deep house and the faux sandpaper bass of laptop-driven nu-rave. His work with producer Machinedrum is especially great, like a young Mos Def vibing with some Squarepusher records. On Friday, he'll drop his new release, This Charming Mixtape, through his MySpace (the title and cover are a nod to The Smiths and Elvis Costello) so scope these tunes for now (our favorite is the punkish, lo-fi jam "Ultra Violet") and then pick that up on Friday for your weekend party-rocking needs. You know you have them. [Download]
