When my fellow FKL editor Raj, aka No. 4, aka Static Itch decides to do a mix, I never know what to expect, but I always know that it will challenge my sense of musical programming, and inspire with the coscienceness of his track selection. “Buried Beneath the Plastic Sheen” plays like a mixtape and has the feel of a soundtrack… And in the same way, it will imbue whatever you’re doing while listening to it with that sense of surreal intensity that only a great soundtrack can.
It starts off meditative with Jim Johnston’s interpretation of The Undertaker, winds through the mind with Massive Attack and Bong Ra, and suddenly you realize it’s too late as the aural trip nectar drives through your senses with Marco Beltrami vs. Marilyn Manson! The pathway of the programming is cutting and hypnotic, all at once sharp and sensual, as it goes from the blazing brain-bleeding bass of IDM to down-tempo groovin’.
Take a listen and enjoy the ride!

The Resistiv3 crew recently churned some guts and most probably gave a few people a sensory lobotomy with their back to back sessions at KL’s Palate Palette Restaurant & Bar. And even though I wasn’t able to make the show, judging from these mixsets, it must have been one hell of a night!
From the most brooding Dubstep to the utter mayhem some absolute killer DnB, the Resistiv3 crew are surely sending out shockwaves that are rattling the local scene at its very foundations.
Featuring the brilliant talents of Tubby, Chi-Pulp, An-Owl, MH, Mac and Kain (Ohm Resistance), this is just, I hope, a precursor of many more Resistiv3 events to come. Download and be blown away!
Radzy and I were listening to this mix over the weekend, and we were very pleasantly suprised at the level of innovation that many of our artists have been rising rapidly towards.
No.4’s one of our artists that’s really got to get credit for it though.
This particular mix, opening with some Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, flows into a wonderfully introspective dubstep sound blending in and out of some beautiful lyricism and delicate mixing.
Featuring dubstep sub-riders Loefah, Roll Deep, and some really unconventional blends into Switchblade Symphony and Trentemoller; this mix really highlights the hard work that No.4 has been putting in developing his signature aurally-philosophical sound.
A masterpiece. F**k. What a great way to start the year.
