The Get By was FBi Radio's late night left field hip hopish show with Raph Dixon. Music with drums, basslines, bleeps and sometimes even lyrics... (The drums usually go kick snare kick kick snare buzzzzzz). Now it's just another music blog.
They are responsible for both the AEED album from a few weeks back, and that really cool instrumental hip-hop compilation 'Bag Full of Nothingness' I put up a while ago. You'll notice the similarities between the album artwork between this one, and the AEED album, both done by a french artist known as 96.
They just released a free mixtape of beautiful instrumental and experimental hiphop that you can listen to in low quality here:
New Weird Australia Volume Two, September 2009, NWA002 Mr. Stuart Buchanan and Mr. Danny Jumpertz have a wonderfully chilled show on just before me playing an assortment of oddities from Australian artists, that you can catch every Thursday from 9:00pm or fbi 94.5 or on fbiradio.com if you're not from sunny Sydney.
They are wonderful chaps, and they've compiled another excellent showcase of experimental, ambient, instrumental and out there indie that's best listened to late late late at night (in my opinion, you may prefer to listen to it before a football match, I don't know). It's really wicked and should most definitely be checked out here:
First up, last week on the show I said I'd see if I could post this album after playing a track from this man:

Now, a rather cool remix album from afar. Kind of nujazzy if we're still calling it that...

Unfortunately it's a hosted file by rapidshare, but I'm sure you'll live with the 200 second wait:
I have played quite a few singles from AEED on the show, which is why I'm stoked to be able to post this freebie.
The music is kind of like a mix between those lofi paddy synths that Tobacco uses, with a really broken but heavy Dilla drum break. Also uses samples in a cool kind of Madlib way, as long as I'm making comparisons.
Of course, it comes away sounding nothing like any of them.
It's really different, but not in an alienating way, I really REALLY like this release is basically what I'm trying to say.

I have to take this moment to send a thank you to Matam whom I get so much of this free stuff from.
