Dj Spin Laden , a 19yr old all the way from Mexico has given me 2 of his mixes, the first is a 30 minute full on fidget mix he did for Isa GT's blog and the other is a 3/4 of an hour mix he did with Dj Teenage Wolf who form the collective ' Cul&Sweet '. Both are excellent mixes and worthy of a good listen. Nice to see/hear the fidget sound is global!! Dj Spin Laden Mix for Isa GT [...]

Now if I was to label this remix "Timbaland - Way I Are (Switch Remix)", after listening to it you wouldn't dispute it, but it's not a Switch remix it's from a guy called 'Haydn Haydn' and it's excellent, I'd say on par with the Crookers remix. The looping of the vocals is spot on and works great with the jackin' beats! Timbaland - Way I Are (Haydn Haydn Remix) (zShare) Head over to his MySpace's to give him some feedback on this first-rate remix and to check out some of his other [...]

I can't tell you how much I love this remix, it's been on constant repeat for the last 2 days and it gets better with every play. Very different to the fidget I normally listen to but every bit as good, everyone needs to be playing this out! Not sure of a release date but check Radioclit's MySpace for updates. Thanks Discobelle for introducing me to this beauty and thanks Radioclit for making it! Alphabeat - Fantastic 6 (Radioclit Remix) (zShare)

Nic Sarno has been in touch again with another new track, this time its 'Knock Track'. You may or may not have seen heard this up on his MySpace player but he has said it's probably not getting a vinyl release, available for free download from ESP 's website soon along with some more fresh beats! Nic Sarno - Knock Track (zShare)

I posted some tracks of Djago a little while ago and he's back with more, this lad is coming up with some excellent productions faster than england let in goals... Djago - Keep Funkin (Original Mix) (zShare)

Bootlickers sent me through a few tracks from their new EP to give us all a little taste of what's to come from them, and let me tell you now, it's looking good! Brabe and René Van Munster started producing music around a year ago after Brabe introduced René to some early Dubsided sounds (mostly Solid Groove/Switch remixes, Jesse Rose and Speaker Junk). Fooling around with the production software and experimenting with all different kinds of styles they finally got into house production. After getting [...]

Got a new residency starting tonight @ the newly refurbished Onyx Rooms in Middlesbrough, looking forward to playing some dirty jackin' fidget! If your in the area then get yourself down should be good fun. Not to keen on the name of the night but you can't have everything haha... hopefully that will change once we get our own way.

And that takes you to the Jesse Rose remix of Soho Dolls "Right & Right Again", which was released back in September, the remix is usual Jesse style, typically brilliant! Also on the release is the original + video and a Trash The Rental Crystal Castles remix (which they are giving away free on their site just for registering your details). Soho Dolls - Right & Right Again (Jesse Rose Remix) (zShare) Buy the CD here Soho Dolls album "Ribbed Music for a Numb Generation" was [...]

While I was on a 'relaxing' holiday in Ibiza Albi from 3 Is A Crowd sent me over some of their tracks for me to share with my blog world, I was impressed. 3 Is A Crowd is Albi (Dj Scotti), Ivo (Dj Giga) and Francesco (Dj Froz), hailing from Italy their sound isn't to far off early Crookers stuff. Mino & 3 Is A Crowd - Mino's Crunk (Ghetto Mix) (zShare) Albi: I wanted to introduce my terrible voice friend mino to the world of [...]

Switch was in Middlesbrough for the first time at the end of last month, and what a fuckin' night it was.. so good that he even ended up back at a house party with us.. unfortuantly by that time my camera had ran out of battery, call me a lier but I know it's true! anyway here's the video's and pictures from the night.

Straaatch, a French Dj/Producer from Marseille (real name Fabrice Delcambre) recently sent me over some of his bouncin' tracks, sure to get any dancefloor.. ermm.. dancin', haha anyway here's a little about himself in his own words: "My various and varied influences take root in the heart of the hip hop, and the various ramifications go and carress the electronic gimmicks of the French and other touches. A foot in the rave party, but always turned towards the new current electronic landscape, my music is groovy, a little "cheesy", but always effective on a dance floor. I rejected [...]

Now here's a lad I have been speaking to for a while now, he's called Ricardo Amanupunnjo from Boxmeer, close to Nijmegen in The Netherlands, he goes under the name 'Djago', is 18 years of age and is already producing some cracking tracks. He's really into his dutch house and jackin' stuff, until he got in touch with me I was unaware of 'dutch house', turns out I really like it! He's also been kind enough to send me over one of his latest tracks 'Scratch Up The Music' and his latest [...]
