Filastine released his debut LP Burn It on DJ /rupture's Soot Records imprint earlier this year. The album showcases his skill as percussionist and vision as a producer, combining a globe-trotting sensibility with deft programming. Arabic, Brazilian and other traditions meet crunching street beats to create an album that is widely travelled but still rooted in a carefully crafted individual aesthetic. This mix showcases Filastine's live show, which has a rowdy edge not so audible on his studio work. The same striking fragments of recorded sounds heard on the record are combined with dubstep, breakcore, grime, dancehall and loops and acapellas from other cutting edge club sounds. Add the spice of live percussion, played on a darbouka, midi drums, and a shopping trolley, and you have the recipe for something very tasty indeed. The Gramaphone session was recorded at a Soot Records party in London which was held for the launch of Filastine's album in June 2006. DJ /rupture, Heatwave and Uberdog also played and t

El Kano is the graphic design lynchpin of the Adverse Camber collective, a motley bunch of South London dwellers who, despite putting on events with scary names such as 'The Night of Awesome Power', will always take the time to make you a nice cup of tea (though you may have to nip down the shop to get biscuits). He used to be called Kano, but couldn't be bothered beefing with the numerous other Kanos laying claim to the name, so now he's El Kano, which is cooler anyway. His DJ mixes are consistently badass, and he's put this one together especially for Spannered.

Berlin resident Aaron Spectre mashes up the place. Fact. Propelled along by a junglistic undercurrent, his sets have become something of legend, drawing on grime, hip hop, dubstep, ragga, punk, thrash metal and ear-pummelling breakcore. If this floats your boat, we recommend you check his excellent productions on Death$ucker and Omeko. This set was recorded at the Mega Bass Robo Orgy in London, June 2005. ^ Download flyer artwork for Mega Bass Robo Orgy

UK MC Doc Brown here trades in the whimsical universality of the Tears For Fears lyrics for a stark but affecting account of why exactly his world is going crazy and adds a lilting hip hop beat to the catchy piano hook of the original. A coherent social consciousness – he alludes to 'the tramp with his change cup' – underpins the fierce brutalism of his account of why we're going nowhere: 'It's a disgrace / this place is like a whorehouse / the crooked system's the pimp / that's got us working till we're worn out'. An unnamed collaborator comes in on the second verse to give an account of his education which is so much more detailed and evocative than the original's assertion that 'I was very nervous / no one knew me'. Doc Brown's idea that insanity is to do with being 'a rat trapped in the system / of capitalism' is compelling and his powerful delivery contrasts perfectly with Gary Jules' ethereal vocal. This version deserves to displace the original in the public consciousness – it would b
