In FADER 60 (which is out right now), Mishka co-founder and creative director Mikhail Bortnik dug into his crates to pull out a selection of Russian music and songs inspired by Russia for our Vinyl Archeology section. Download the mix below, check out Bortnik’s story in F60, and if you’re curious about what you’re hearing there’s a full tracklist after the jump.
This terrific video is about a hacked hardware crossfader, created by John Beez, that slides up and down on rails. As he says: – This is the first public view of the Fretless Fader system I designed for use with the Controller One (posted February 22, 2009). With this you can cut and change notes through 2 octaves without taking your hands away from the vinyl and fader. -
Bonus points for the added oldschool talkbox ;)

Every week resident FADER selector Eddie STATS runs through dancehall riddims and other artifacts from the ghetto archipelago. Now he compiled the best of his series into one post. Here is what Eddie had to say abot the chart: - Let’s be clear. This is not an Eddie STATS end of the year critical
picks list. This is the Ghetto Palmes d’Or for musics released in 2008.
For instance: even though Santogold, Vampire Weekend, Natty, Hypnotic
Brass, etc. etc. all dropped CDs in ’08 that I personally fucks with
(and even though a few have even been smuggled into mixes in this
space) for one reason or another they were not exactly Ghetto Palms
material. Appropriate to the New Year’s season, that meant assembling
this short-list involved a lot of soul searching about exactly what the
concept of this column is, and what makes all these far-flung sounds
fit into one category. Most of the entries are free downloads and all of them are streamable. – Wicked list!
