This “Shpongle inspired composition” by the Bay-area based dubstep artist The Builder is a thoroughly enjoyable twist on Shpongle’s signature sound. Enjoy!

The sublime Seattle-based trip-hop duo, The New Law, laid down this fantastic set at Tost Lounge on Sept. 9, 2009. It’s a laid back mash of loungey hip-hop beats, a smattering of live sax, and vibey synth lines that will ease you perfectly into the weekend.

Here is the Reagenz live set from the Decibel Fest 2009 closing party. I was unable to make it out to this show, and heard amazing things about this set, so I’m super happy to be able to listen to it now. Reagenz is a duo comprised of Jonah Sharp (aka Spacetime Continum) and Move D. I was able to catch Spacetime Continum’s live ambient set at the Pan Cascadia Showcase earlier in the weekend and it was definitely a festival highlight for me. Spacetime atmospherics + mellow techno beats = total win. Enjoy!

I listen to a lot of tracks on Soundcloud, and it’s rapidly becoming one of the best places on the ’net to share your music and discover terrific new cuts. If you are a musician or DJ and don’t have a Soundcloud account yet, get one now. There’s tons of great material to be heard, so I’ve decided to start highlighting those tracks that really catch my ear in a new series I’m calling Soundcloud Finds.

Up first is Concentr8 by Khainz. Get ready for some top-shelf techno goodness.
