Israel Vines Mix

It's been a while since we've satisfied our craving for an Israel Vines mix and this latest installment is full of gems that more than fills our insatiable hunger. Entitled, "Borrowed Language 2.0 - Dem Now Arrest", Israel offers deep and menacing techno perspective, all within the consistent precision for which he's known for.

A recent L.A. transplant by way of Detroit, Israel started buying at FBC in East Lansing. Upon his graduation, Israel moved to Chicago and picked up a job at Gramaphone, considered on of the country's premiere dance record shops. Having a music hobby that spans for more than 15 years, it's no wonder that Israel's record collection is way better than yours. Download his latest mix.

Osborne Remix For Blank Artists

If Stephen Hawking could inseminate a Japanese female android aboard the Millennium Falcon, they're child would most likely resemble Osborne, a undeniable human prodigy of the universe. This mastermind is behind so many projects that even the all-knowing Nueromancer can't keep pace without perpetual memory overload failure. That's right bitches... no one steal's Osbornes RAM and gets away with it.

Since his beginnings in the music biz, Osborne has amassed a catalog equal to that of electronic music's most elite. He's released countless dancefloor classics for Ann-Arbor based Spectral Sound, ran one of the most successful ragga/jungle labels of the past decade, and has received numerous accolades for last year's self-titled album, Osborne. Perhaps this is why Blank Artists is proud to announce that Osborne is offering up a remix on BLNK-15 for Detroit's favorite beard, Jared Wilson. More info here.

RA Interviews Luke Hess

Detroit electronic music producer Luke Hess, sits down with Resident Advisor to talk about music and his beloved city of Detroit. Hess, who is also one-half of the group Reference from Beretta Music, has been emerging as one of Detroit's new purveyors of dub techno. Aided heavily by the influences of Robert Hood and Basic Channel, his records are emblematic of the city's post-industrial artistic environment- a city full of musicians who view their surroundings as a canvas for the exploration of new ideas. A lifelong Detroiter, Hess seems wedded to the city more than ever and his music exemplifies those attitudes, where his catalog of tracks meld fittingly against the melancholic backdrop of the Motor City's physical landscape.

Over the past two years, Hess has garnered international attention with releases on labels such as FXHE and Kontra-Musik. Last week marked his official release on Modelisme Records entitled "Dub For Love", which serves as an example of electronic music's most emotive qualities. View and listen to Dub For Love.
