GLOSSY HOUSE FOR CUNTS House music that's so polished you can use its reflection to style your Hoxton Fin haircut. You can peer into this glossy Defected release and regard your pescine lips pouting back at you from beneath a fucking massive pair of shades. A guilty pleasure none the less because that synth sound is the absolute tits. Fingers crossed there's a dub of this somewhere...

BRAINY BREAKBEAT - forthcoming from Martyn on Modeselektor's Monkey Town label. Due to land next month so us dumb fucks have a few weeks to learn enough clevers to really get into this.

Deep and down tempo house to see you through a heated, sleazy dance floor groove. Want.

EASTERN BREAKBEAT BASS England's prevailing winds continue to blow in talent from the South West. Riding the winds of West Country Bass comes this young upstart Angus Nisbet who is all over the dials for the 33rd release from Loudat's favourite Slime Recordings as The Attic Project . Bristol is leading the charge in the ever mutating post-dubstep / future-garage /friday week breakbeat/ nearly-tea-time-house-music or what ever the fuck it's called this month and with talent like The Attic Project appearing out of seemingly nowhere it's easy to see why. Forthcoming on [...]

CLASSIC BREAKBEAT DOWNLOAD From the murky depths of 1997! An absolute classic breaks track from Lee Coombs gets a spit and polish for 2012 and is available for download through the Soundcloud. Fuck it, just download 2 copies! One to play out and one to keep. You don't want to wear those digits out.

Remixing Witness (one hope) is a dangerous undertaking. Perhaps THE largest and most revered anthem in UK Hip-Hop is not something you should tackle unless you a) never want to work in the fucking music industry ever again b) have actually managed to score a decent lick on the original Brighton's Benji Boko takes the reigns and ,very sensibly, steers this classic away from the bass-quaking original toward a live funk jam that , as sacrilegious as it is to admit, is actually pretty tight. Sign up to Benji's mailing list for [...]

Donna Summer is dead. Here's some dancehall instead. Shaggy, best known for his commercial smashes has got a load of more "credible" tracks in his back catalogue. Among them this heavy dancehall chugger from his 2004 Clothes Drop album sampling Keith and Tex /The Spanishtonians. To be fair, the rest of the album is bollocks.

ACID HOUSE JACKER - Rave synth stabs, jacking beats and gurgling 303 lines: It's all gone a bit 902s for this solid acid track from Sydney's Bang Gang crew.

BREAKBEAT RAVE GROOVE A superb driving groove that goes to prove that there is life yet ni the hackneyed old dog of breaks. Admittedly the dog is half blind, can't feed itself and smells like death but it's breaks. Call it "Future Jungle" if you like but it's still going to shit all over your rug.

SUPERB DISCO HOOK Drums Of Death fucked up this track and named it, quite rightly, DRUMSOFDEATHFUCKSUPANESCORT . It never occurred to me that DOD had actually remixed Escort so when I stumbled across this on last years Escort LP I was spunking rainbows for the rest of the afternoon.

Grand Master Flash is warming up for me on Sunday at the Brixton Club House for the next instalment of the "Up On Roof" all-day rooftop parties in South London. Which is nice. Apparently his rider lists a bunch of tunes that mustn't be played before he gets on the decks. But seeing as I'm on after Flash I guess I can play whatever the blazing fuck I like. Next week, Duff Disco could be getting a bollocking from the godfather of hip-hop.

It's usually good advice to steer clear of anything that waves around the "Funky" adjective like a piss head with his cock out. Similar advice applies to anything that proports to be "jazzy". Clicking carefully on this Sensus Soul remix throws all that good advice down the shitter and drums up this superb refix that is probably best described as a Black tune remixed by a (probably) white guy. It's just easier that way and slightly offensive too which is perfect. Download info on the Soundcloud - go geddit.

DEEP AND DOPE Duff Disco announced a little while back that he was to cease production of his superb vinyl bootlegs. Either the PRS came knocking or he was simply wracked with guilt from sampling Mark Morrison. How could he sleep at night knowing he'd diddled "The Mack" out of a few quid ? Taking a fresh approach Duff Disco now offers his entire back catalogue in high quality audio for the princely sum of...well, what ever you think is fair. Now raising interest and financial backing for the mastering costs of his next digital release, [...]

ALL STAR REGGAE MASH Okay, I got one:Cutty Ranks, Bob Marley and KRS ONE walk into a bar, right....

AFRICAN LICKED FUTURE GARAGE Slime Recordings go right back to the very roots of civilisation for this superb,African licked, bass excursion. Forging a strong debut for its 32nd release SPD demonstrates the attention to production values and sophistication that keeps the Slime Records flag flying high.

Bad eye sight, good ears. Cheers.

Being a country mile behind with anything that doesn't get farted out the back of a computer here's a track that bounced out of a mates record collection from about fives years back . The opening track from Band Of Horse 2007 album Cease To Begin.
