We would like to wish all who have supported Niteshade Inc a great christmas and a happy new year! And what better way than to celebrate the coming of a new year than with a great guest podcast!
After enjoying this guys mixes we found through mixcloud (he runs a pretty good blog too) we thought we would hit him up and see if he wanted to do one for us.. He brought the goods.. In his own words:
It's an 'influences' mix with a lot of nods to some producers, labels, djs and record shops who inspire me and have become good friends through music in the last couple of years, namely Blackclassical, Seja Herói, Second Layer Records, Toby, Andrea and Ben at Svetlana Industries, Semtek and Bandshell.

Based in Hereford & Blackburn U.K, teaandcakerecords has made the logical steps from reviewing and blogging about our favourite artists, to taking to the airwaves of the galaxy and now, finally, releasing our debut EP for the label.
teaandcakerecords began life in 2009 as nothing more than a profile on Mixcloud sharing the odd compilation tape. It grew into a blog to promote music, film and the arts and then in 2010, teaandcakerecords joined the intergalactic radio station Space Invader Radio with the popular Free Range Show. As well as playing the finest tunes from around the globe, the show has brought us guest mixes from Australia's Philly Blunt, Italy's Fededsm from Planet Soap & America's Marc Amigone of The Afrobeat Blog. Closer to their UK home there have been mixes from Ewan Hoozami, Nick Faber and Shooting Horses.
Towards the end of last year, plans were sketched out for making teaandcakerecords a proper label and the incredibly knowledgable Paul Riley was brought on board to help bring the project to fruition.
The first release delivers three unique and individual twists on the current beats scene by new producer Brotto based in Brighton.
However current and hip the sound of this first release is, do not be fooled into thinking this label is following fashions or limited to one certain sound. The only rules we follow are that it has got to be the best of it’s kind regardless of who it has come from.
Our aim is bring some of the most interesting and overlooked producers from around the world to the fore.
2.3.11
Brotto - Grassland, the first release for teaandcakerecords. It's out now.
Brotto's unique take on leftfield electronica has gained early support from Charlie Dark (Blacktronica), BNJMN (Rush Hour), and PieceOfShh.. (Svetlana Industries) who is also on remix duties under his new moniker Brickwall Brigade with Jan Nemeček of Kalope from Belgrade, Serbia.

11.4.11
Brotto Remixes follows up the huge success of our debut release by teaandcakerecords, Brotto’s Grassland EP which featured amongst other on Hold Box Flat, Grunge Cake and Bench's playlists
The remixes have an eclectic, international theme to them with mixes coming courtesy Italy's Planet Soap, Grillo and Railster, Slovakia's Foolk, Bunny On Acid from Israel and England's MTG better known as Space Invader Radio host and founder, Matt The Good. The package is completed with a brand new rework of the title track by Brotto himself.

It was a bit of a memorable year for me - the twins, moving house, an engagement and even a complete change of job role (though still at the same place - probably good to have some constancy).
So, round up of the year time again but a much more truncated version this year - hopefully back to little bit more time for music and posting next year. I'll also point out about 4 of the lps I've only picked up since seeing them in other charts of the year but again I'll blame that on the kids.

Sorry for the radiosilence almost all year on here. A couple of little things happened which put music on the back burner a bit for me so here's a round of of the few mixes I did and in the coming days will be a round up of the records I bought.
January 04, 02:09 PM
I Am Nobody's Nigger
Rappers when you use the word "nigger" remember that's one of the last words Stephen Lawrence heard, so don't tell me it's a reclaimed word.
I am nobody's nigger
So please, let my ancestors rest in peace
Not turn in their graves in Jamaica plantations
Or the watery graves of the slave trade
Thrown overboard into middle passage
Just for insurance claims
They were chained up on a boat
As many as they could manage and stay afloat
Stripped of dignity and all hope
Awaiting their masters and European names
But the sick and the injured were dead weight to toss
And Lloyds of London would cover that cost.
I am nobody's nigger
So you can tell Weezy and Drake
That they made a mistake
I am nobody's nigger now
So you can tell Kanye and Jigga
I am not a nigger... in Paris
I'm not a nigger in London
I'm not a nigger in New York
I'm not a nigger in Kingston
I'm not a nigger in Accra
Or a nigger with attitude in Compton
Cos "I don't wanna be called yo nigga"
How were you raised on Public Enemy
And still became your own worst enemy?
You killed Hip Hop and resurrected headless zombies
That can't think for themselves or see where they're going
Or quench the blood lust because there's no blood flowing
In their hearts, just in the streets
They don't give a damn as long as they eating
Their hearts ain't beating, they're cold as ice (bling)
Because they would put money over everything
Money over self respect or self esteem
Or empowering the youth to follow their dreams
Stacking paper cos it's great than love it's seems
Call me "nigger" cos you're scared of what "brother" means
To know that we share something unspeakable
To know that as high as we rise we are not seen as equal
To know that racism is institutional thinking
And that "nigger" is the last word you heard before a lynching.

The Luckyme mix Helix mentioned in the Heroes of 2011 chart, is now available:
http://thisisluckyme.com/mixtapes/100-helix-rapid-mixtape/
100. Helix – Rapid Mixtape
100. Helix – Rapid Mixtape
Click here to download
Helix is that dude with All Caps & Night Slugs 12″s out this apocalyptic 2012 which places him in unique position to quietly influence the best djs this year; just before the oceans evaporate forever… and so what’s he offering? Well he’s upping the tempo on all this pussy compressed laptop techno and trying to bring back something raw uncut with clattering, black-pepper drum programming that feels authentic. He builds music for 1AM and 4AM with equal weight – even his deeper, understated moments swing on long tape saturated pads. And with this tape for us, which could of easily just been a tribute to OJ Da Juiceman, he sorta surprised us with this perfect night drive soundtrack of rapid & classic techno that warrants bouncing to cassette just for the extra dose of fuzz as the planet moves slowly closer to the sun. Our 100th tape. Helix in the mix. Happy new year.

It's Jazzy Jazzy Jazzy Jazzy
It's Jazzy Jazzy Jazzy Jazzy Two
Again, it's a bit different from the other two but (hopefully) this one sounds good in that time of doing nothing between Christmas and New Year

My hero of 2011 is Helix. Producer of track of the year, Stacks, which I have played almost constantly since the summer. The track, although still as yet unreleased, was picked up by many big named djs and was included in Ben UFO's recent Rinse cd. He is also part of the best new label of the year, Glasgow's All Caps, with a 100% hit success rate from their first releases.
I caught up with Helix earlier this week to chat about the record, the label, Ben UFO and where he is going next.
Hi there
Hi. hows things?
Pretty good. Building a lot of loops for my liveset
Really? What’s the plans with that?
Luckyme want me to do a mix for them so I'm just giving a lot of stuff its debut in the liveset for them. And then one day when somebody books me
Nice one.
Your earlier productions were more a Basic Channel / dub techno sound. Stacks is very different to them. Was that a conscious idea to try other styles or just how your style is developing or are you planning on doing more minimal / dubby techno again?Stacks was the product of another side of my production that I felt matured enough to the point of being able to make trax.
So would you say your techno tracks are still not where you feel comfortable with them yet? They sound ready now to me.
None of my trax are ever at a point where I'm entirely comfortable with them, especially not my loop-based projects.
My goal is to find the perfect loop.
How did Stacks come about then? Is it something you'd been working on for a while or just one of them moments were all the ideas came together quickly and just worked?
Luck
Lol! How did you manage to get an unreleased track onto Ben UFO's Rinse cd?
Luck
I knew that was coming
Let's keep it mysterious then, ahah.
But seriously, Ben just happened to like it enough to include it on the mix.
It already got a bunch of publicity before Rinse 16.
And are all the hows, whys and whatnots about licensing pretty dull? So you actually see much money from compilations?
Hah!
Money.
I've heard about money
Can you tell me more
How did you get the track to Ben? Was it through connections or has he been a friend for some time now?
Bake knows Ben more than I do. Since Bake was releasing it, he just got it into Ben's hands somehow.
About a year ago I spoke to you about the scene around Georgia and you said that no one really cares about techno around there. Has there been any change this year or are you still having to travel to clubs?
No change. Still the only one making / playing trax I like. Although I'm slowly getting my friends into it through forcing them to hear my music all the time.
What scenes are big over there? I know its lowest common denominator stuff but hasn’t rave music broken through at all with mainstream r'n'b using so many (of the albeit crap ones) dance producers these days?
Well, we've got a bunch of "raves" thrown locally
But nothing worth bothering with?
Just house parties blasting the latest in either overly aggressive dubstep or beatport house. So nothing I ever deal with.
It seems really weird and a bit odd that everyone at that Hessle night at fabric earlier in the year has heard your track over a really good system about 5 times (or however many rewinds it ended up getting) whereas you can't.
Yeah, I've only heard it once on a club system, and I was the one playing it.
What was that night then? Are you getting bookings from a bit further afield now?
Nope, I was opening for Silkie in Atlanta. I figure bookings will come when my records finally come out.
Speaking of which - has there been a reason for the delayed release dates or was it just that ALLCAPS 001 was held back so its pushed your back too?
After the delays, we were looking at a December release, which we didn't really want to do. So it's most likely coming out in January.
You know, over here, they used to say you get weird chart hits in January as the post Christmas releases dry up...
Don't really have any preference as to when it comes out, I'm just happy for whenever it comes out.
Well you've kept me waiting about 6 months to get my hands on it so another 2 weeks isn’t going to hurt anyone.
Ahahaha. Could've sworn I gave you a copy. We fam-lay.
I’ve got the mp3 but i meant on wax.
Oh okay
Its my most played mp3 of the year. Though about 10 of them were rewinds on the day i got it.
Lololololol. Glad you like it
It’s the first tune in a while that I have really hammered but it never gets boring to me.
Thanks
So plans for 2012? Finally getting the record out, then live stuff did you say?
Yeah I just want to get my liveset fully fleshed out and then I'm just going to keep making trax
Still working with ALLCAPS or are you in discussions with any other labels yet?
Well, I've got an EP coming on Other Heights, that Night Slugs thing, and I'm just casually chatting with a couple other label owners, throwing trax at them and just seeing where things go.
Any word of remix work yet or are you still just doing bootleg remixes at the moment?
I have a Jakob Altmann remix out digitally on Instabil
December 22, 11:04 AM
Oneohtrix Point Never's Daniel Lopatin made the best album in the world since his last album. And then went and bettered it again a few weeks ago.
The two albums he was on this year, firstly with David Borden, James Ferraro, Sam Godin and Laurel Halo on Frkwys then in his own Oneohtrix Point Never guise, were masterpieces of modern experimental ambient.
His remix work this year included a nod to one of the underloved originators of the sound, Harald Grosskopf, whose original 1980 lost synth classic was reworked by todays contemporaries. It is however another of his rewordings which was my personal favourite remix of the year; that of Anthony and The Johnson's Swanlights.

Jamie XX may have been a bit ubiquitous this year. There must only be a few people on the planet he didn't offer his steel pans to. Gil Scott Heron, Radiohead twice, Falty DL, Adele, Rhianna and his own solo debut on Numbers. When working with the former legends, he produced some of the best work of his career and with the initially questionable moves of working with the latter mainstream artists, produced some of the best work of their careers. Add to that his increased dj schedule this year and rumours of working on new material with The XX and he has been a busy boy but it doesn't look like the start of 2012 is going to slow him down any.

Hype Williams fuzzy, lo fi, low res rips, twenty-first century synth pop and foggy 2 step sound rumbled through the whole year. Kicking off was the One Nation lp back in Spring. Summer was soundtracked by Rise Up and the Kelly Price ep and by autumn, Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland were putting out their first solo projects and mixing new label mates at Hyperdub, King Midas Sound.

If techno is futuristic funk, bleeping, buzzing, knocking, dripping and reverberating then Actress brought it all out of South London in every track he made this year. Deep and dubby as Rainy Dub, weird and wonderful as Gershwin. As epic the full 12 minute version of the Panda Bear remix, as delicate and nimble as many parts of the Parallel World tracks.

A living legend, though never really went away, really showed the younguns a thing or two about bass this year. Whether it was with Rinse FM's Funk Butcher, the meeting of most influential garage producers with Steve Gurley or the sound of the summer with Omar, he was always at the front of my box.
Plus he really was kind enough to check out my mix of old Chicago and Detroit stuff from earlier in the year.

Ben UFO, Floating Points, Pearson Sound, Bok Bok, Joy Orbison, Jackmaster and Spencer
December 14, 03:18 PM
Record shop of the year is Honest Jons. Every week their recommendations are just that little bit deeper, a bit more exclusive and upfront and always on point. Where else can you pick up the latest German or Detroit techno monsters next to an encyclopedic knowledge of reggae as well as blues and jazz and funk or folk?

Label of the year for me has to have released only 100% hits. This year with two eps from label boss Semtek and the first release by Northern By Nature favourite Mr Beatnick in over a year, Don't Be Afraid are the deserving receprecants.
Not only were they producing some amazing material themselves, their choices of remixers; BNJMN, Architeq, Photonz and DJ 3000, plus they are great djs and deep diggers right across the board and just generally nice guys. Sickening isn't it?

Compliation of the year for me was Four Tet's Fabric mix released in September and it hasn't left the cd player much since. On paper it looks quite eclectic and unmixable yet it flows, not like a 70 minute going nowhere, rigid to the bpms blend, this was a collage of sounds. Far too many "where the fuck has he got that from?" moments, plus it included some brand new (and at that point) exclusive Four Tet tracks, both of which were of course amongst the many standout moments.

The hardest working man in showbiz this year must have been Caribou / Daphni Dan Snaith. Especially in the last few months, it seems like he has had a new record, edit or remix out every other week. Add to that the split record he made with Four Tet on Text earlier in the year plus the touring as a band and dj gigs all over the world, it is amazing how he finds the time and yet his standards have not slipped once all year.

Tri Angle was one of my favourite labels of the year, Wander / Wonder one of the best albums and yet it is for four remixes that Balam Acab is my hero this year. I don't know if the chillwave / synthwave / whatever they are calling it this week, will continue to be as big next year, but I'm for one will definitely be keeping tabs on where the likes of Tri Angle's Holy Other, How To Dress Well, oOoOO, Clams Casino, Ayshay and Balam Acab take it.

Radio station of 2011 for me has been NTS Live which began broadcasting earlier this year. Within under 12 months they have built up a great line up but my particular favourites are New Jerusalm with Alex Chase, Bullion and Mr Beatnick, Charlie Dark's School Of Dark and Tristian BpM's breakfast shows. Check some of those shows below.
