As our Incoming 2010 mini-feature draws to a close (apologies for lack of posts over the weekend – got lost in a blackhole of christmas revelry), we talk to Londoner Toby Ridler, AKA Becoming Real about his singular brand of late-night crawling deformed dub and brain-addled mutant dance monsters, his plotting for the coming months and his most beloved and bumped records of 2009.

Favourite track of 2009?

BR: Any Wiley instrumentals!

Favourite album of 2009?

“5 years of Hyperdub”… not really an album but some big tunes, liked the new Ducktails album , um…

Flying Lotus – Disco Balls

Ah the Terror Danjah instrumentals CD!!! That shit is pure fire! Yeah thats the one I Pick!

What are your plans for 2010?

Lots , Couple of 7“s out early on, couple of 12“s , remix for Warp, in feburary/march im gonna start to take live bookings which will be good,
but im literally producing a track every couple days so all this will hopefully double.

Can you tell us a little about the track you’ve sent us?

Just made it , it’s a bit of a jam really, its gonna be on the otherside of Tracey Chapman (First Single) when that comes out.
