Some of you might remember the track 'Yellow Cab' by J. Baracuz that was on the first DayMakers Mix. I heard it on a free compilation by Equinox Records & really liked it, but never heard anything before or since about J. Baracuz... However today through the miracle of email, J. Baracuz let me know his album, 'Lasergun Romances', is available for free download until the end of the year.

From Bandcamp:

Lasergun Romances is the first full-length album of the Berlin-based producer J.Baracuz. Merging futuristic sounds with dusty grooves and breaks, it immediately captivates the listener with its distinctive and unique style.
Eleven mostly instrumental tracks are peppered with crackling samples, filthy synths and boisterous MPC-soaked drums and create an overall dirty, urban atmosphere.
The result is more than just another instrumental hip-hop record for sampling heads or vinyl junkies. It´s the perfect soundtrack for the concrete jungle: raw, coarse and melancholic.

Hot damn, i finally got it together, it's the tablist.net podcast. The 'DayMakers Mix', it features tablist, dj's, producers and whatever else you want to call them. Basically its people that are making good music with records. It's not all 'scratch' music but it is all good music. There is a full play list & links below. If you like the music you should support the people making it.

Equinox records has released a free ep, 'The 5inch Files', leading up to the release of 'One Year & A Day - A Sound Exposure Vol.2'.  The free ep will also be available for as a very limited box set of five 5 inch records. The following contributed tracks to the ep: Vangel, Misanthrop, Aqua Luminus III., Mnemotrauma, J.Baracuz, B-Ju, SmoKey131, DJ Snatchatec & The Raincoatman.  'The 5inch files'

is surely worth your time to download.  I've had it less than a week and according to my itunes I've listened to it about 10 times.  There aren't any tracks I skip when I'm listening to it; but my favorite seems to be 'Yellow Cab' by J. Baracuz.  I was not familiar with several of the artists that contributed; but thats going to change.  

    To get more info on snagging this limited release of 25, I would recommend you sign up for the Equinox Records email list.  It will go on sale on January 25th at a couple online shops & maybe a few copies will be sold on ebay by Equinox, for 'a reasionable price'.  Links & a track list are below.

*Update*

So due to the level of interest in this limited release Equinox Records has upped the limited quantity available to 250.  They are available now.  Here are the links (from the Equinox email list):
