![Duke Dumont - BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix - Future Stars of 2013 [DJ Mix + Tracklist]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4734117_lg.jpg)
Duke Duke Duke Dumont. You can say this Londoner is my favorite producer at the moment. The first track of his I really liked was Thunder Clap. It's one of those 127 bpm high energy ones that at the time was easily blendable to the big room bangers I was spinning more of at that period. As time went on my grooves started slowing down and getting more base line friendly and really focused on soulful vocals. I forgot how I discovered it but I stumbled upon his track Need U (100%) [purchase @ Beatport ] and boy oh [...]
I almost forgot that Justin Timberlake sings. Last time I heard from the dude he was co-staring in that one romantic comedy opposite of Mila Kunis. Looks like JT is back with a little help from his friends. On production duty for Suit & Tie [purchase @ iTunes ] is our favorite Timbaland. Jay-Z shares some thoughts and bars of his own on the track. Suit & Tie is the first single from his upcoming full length titled The 20/20 Experience. Just as long as Justin and Timbaland stick to songs, I don't care about them being poppy, with [...]

SCNTST [Boysnoize Records] : BNR | Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud From the mind of Boysnoize Records' youngest representative comes the latest techno fueled dance floor filler. SCNTST is his name and the first track that really stuck out to me was his track Beachboy, with it's repeating, "Ass ass titties. Ass ass titties." Nower Shot maintains this theme of repeating lyrics, inducing it's listener into a trance like dance frenzy. No word on a release date. We'll keep you posted. For now just enjoy the track... [...]

Hatcha - Old School Garage Mix 2004 by Fabric on Mixcloud We here at Dank Radio like to know our history. Not just of music and where certain vibes have emerged from, but history in general.

Like fabricated described in his wrap up of Hatcha's performance at SMOG not too long [...]
