It’s been a week already? Wait. Hang on a cotton-picking minute. Ah yes, the bank holiday pushed everything back a notch. Just as well we realised in time, because here are this weeks’ picks from your chums at Mixcloud:1. Zero 7 Hit Mixcloud

Big tings: Grammy award nominees and downtempo heavyweights Zero 7 fire up an exclusive mix to support their compilation album Record, a collection of handpicked highlights from Zero 7’s first decade due June 28th 2010. Henry Binns & Sam Hardaker started out producing the Pet Shop Boys & Robert Plant at RAK studios whilst remixing Lenny Kravitz and Radiohead on the side. The latter formed a precursor to 2001’s Simple Things, which instantly propelled the duo to international acclaim. This mix sees a different side to Zero 7’s signature electronica, predominantly showcasing the best from 2009’s garage scene. Nice work.

2. Ben UFO on XLR8R

Co-founder of London label Hessle Audio, home to Pangaea, Ramadanman, TRG & Untold, Ben UFO teams up with tastemaker XLR8R to mix some top dubstep, grime & house hitting the scene right now.
