Hobbs’ 2009 showcase at Sonar became the stuff of legend, helping the careers of the likes of Gaslamp Killer have a hair-shaking breakthrough moment. Hobbs Sonar posse circa 2010—who performed last week at the event—rates equally high on both the quality meter and the avant-garde barometer: featuring sets from the likes of Flying Lotus, Joy Orbison, and the mighty Roska, it’s already entered the stuff of blog legend. Thankfully, starting early Thursday morning—around 2:00 a.m. U.K. time—Hobbs will do a Sonar special, with sonic recaps of the her festival showcase’s best sets. The broadcast will only broadcast legally for a week here, although, strangely, Hobbs’ radio shows usually show up as illegal downloads somewhere… However you hear it, thought, Hobbs’ Sonar experience is surely a must-listen for those that need that first look into the future of the groove.

This is the kind of track we like to celebrate hump-day with. Joy Orbison’s “Hyph Mgno” catches our rays with its bright homage to disco, house, and 2-step. Joy is another South London producer who originates from the thriving dubstep scene but takes a venturing detour past those breaks to a funkier place and time. The loopy session featuring an adulated female vocal has been labeled as “dubstep futurism.” Some have already called it out as the dubstep/garage track of 2009.  Hotflush, another exciting underground UK label, have only now released the 12inch, even though its been gracing the playlist of both Radio 1 and underground playlists. Fair warning here – playing this track may make one forget what day of the week it is.
