If you checked our Facebook or Twitter feeds, you'd know that today would've been DJ Rashad's birthday. Still hard as hell to even say "was," as his music was such a big part of the last two years of my life. Hyperdub did the right thing, dropping an Ashes57-created video for "Burn That Kush," the first glimpse from the Hyperdub/Teklife compilation album Next Life, which drops on November 11, with all proceeds going to DJ Rashad's son.
This DJ Spinn x Taso track kicks off the album with a minute of this sweet sample that's looped up perfectly before dropping into the thumping footwork sound. For all of you tree smoking footwork loves, this might end up being your new anthem. Similar to Spinn's Pitchfork set, you have a number of dancers going off as well. Hell, there are even some clips featuring DJ Rashad.
European androids, the Teklife crew is going to be all up in your area this month, with DJ Earl & DJ Taye as well as DJ Spinn & Taso embarking on two separate tours. There's a huge Hyperdub x Teklife event in London at The Hydra this Saturday; you're playing yourself if you miss it.
