This Monday's exclusive mix comes from the man behind Simple and Aus Records, Will Saul.
For a while now, Simple has been one of the leading lights of the more melodic side of house music favoured by Dial, Kompakt when they fancy being good, et al, releasing music from the label's core artists (Saul, Sideshow) as well as the likes of Vector Lovers and Motorcitysoul.
In 2006, Saul also formed Aus Music with Sideshow/Fink, to focus on the more experimental side of dub and techno: the brilliant Lee Jones has been a regular contributor to the label, which this year has turned its attention to the more elegiac side of dubstep: commissioning releases from Martyn, Pearson Sound, and - coming next year - a new EP from man of the moment Joy Orbison.
Two Orbison tracks from said EP feature on Will's FACT mix along with unreleased material from Lee Jones and Ramadanman, and tracks from Shed, Mount Kimbie, Future Sound of London, Omar-S, Lusine, Burial and more. For more Will Saul in the mix, we'd recommend his three-disc contribution to EQ Recordings' Balance series, which is out now.

When it comes to dubstep and the outer fringes of UK garage, few names ring out quite like Kode9. Next week, the Hyperdub label head will release 5, a two-disc compilation that both looks back at the influential label's history and lays the groundwork for its future. To help commemorate the release, we asked Kode9 to submit something for the XLR8R podcast. Apparently, 5 has put the man in a historical mood, as he delivered this Bubble 'N' Squeak Mix, comprised entirely of classic UK garage and 2-step from 1999-2002. Originally aired as part of the special 25th-Anniversary broadcast of Radio Lancashire's On the Wire, XLR8R and Hyperdub are now making it available as a proper download.

When mysterious dubstep genius Burial and beat-wrecker Flying Lotus collaborate on a track, it's a big deal. Or it's a big deal to everyone except Flying Lotus and Burial, it seems.
Earlier this year, FlyLo posted the mysterious track on his MySpace page, then removed it. Thankfully, it is on YouTube, and you can hear it below,. It's a particularly murky bit of downbeat electronic heaviness with, of all things, a bit of V.I.C.'s dance-rap goof "Get Silly" thrown in at the end.
It has been confirmed that this untitled track is indeed a collaboration between the two downbeat sound scientists. Unfortunately, there are no plans to release the song or for the two to work together again.(pitchfork)
Burial & Flying Lotus collaboration.
Dubstep lovers rejoice: Hot on the heels of Soul Jazz's Steppas Delight 2 comes the seventh instalment of Tempa's long-running Dubstep Allstars series, a "double disc expedition which unearths newfound pleasures aplenty" thanks to Ramadanman and Chef, two of the scene's most esteemed luminaries.
Coming at a time when the genre paints an increasingly splintered picture, it's a combination of two divergent schools: disc one, mixed by sub-bass veteran Chef, goes heavy on the main room vibes with a spate of fresh tracks from half-step big guns Skream, Benga and Silkie alongside deeper cuts from Mala, Cyrus and Conquest, while Hessle Audio's Ramadanman plunges headlong into the world of techno-flavoured 2-step on disc two with crossover workouts from Martyn, Scuba and Peverelist, and more than a bit of Hessle activity courtesy of nu-school wonderkids Pangaea, Untold, Joe and Ramadanman himself. As with previous instalments, expect the bleeding edge of dubstep.

Roger Robinson and The Bug will release their debut King Midas Sound album next month.
Robinson has previously worked with musicians, albeit in a strictly spoken role, but this collaboration with Kevin is the first time that he has tested out his tense falsetto vocal. Using Martin's claustrophobic electronic dub tracks as his backing, Robinson ruminates on themes of love, loss and life, flitting between intense vocal performances such as "Earth A Kill Ya" and other more soulful cuts. Title track "Waiting For You" is one of these tracks, taking the lovers rock style and stripping it to its bare bones, and there's plenty to appeal to more open-minded reggae aficionados throughout the record. "Meltdown" (from the recent 5 Years Of Hyperdub CD) and album opener "Cool Out" are the only tracks to have been previously released, so Hyperdub fans should look forward to eleven fresh takes on the King Midas Sound template once it hits shops in November.
Tracklist
01. Cool Out
02. Waiting For You
03. One Thing
04. Earth a Kill Ya
05. Dahlin
06. Meltdown
07. I Man
08. Blue
09. Goodbye Girl
10. Lost
11. Sometimes
12. Outer Space
13. Miles & Miles
Hyperdub will release King Midas Sound's Waiting For You on November 9th, 2009.(RA)
Our latest FACT podcast comes from Philadelphia's king of Street Bass, Starkey.
More influenced by grime than its more popular cousin, dubstep, Starkey's made a name for himself with some of this decade's most dynamic, overblown dance music: bass-heavy club tracks that are rhythmically all over the place, constantly changing direction, with dramatic key changes and leadlines that sear higher than the stars before imploding like dying stars.
Starkey has one of the biggest sounds around - and not in a cheap, tearout dubstep sense - his tracks carry tons of physical and emotional weight; tracks like 'Miracles' and 'Crippling' some of the most beautiful tracks produced by this anything goes, post-garage music. For a full interview with him, check the second page of this article.
