I just got this through from Zodiac Cartel ( myspace ). Following up his remix of 'Jack The Joint' with yet more awesomeness, his new single 'The Robots' will be released on U&A Recordings on the 27th October. Here you can enjoy both tracks from the single in full streaming goodness. I'm loving the fact that house seems to be coming around full-circle right now, with many producers re-introducing those early Chicago and Detroit sounds, bring back Masters At Work I say... Klappyn by Zodiac Cartel [...]
With all this talk of the credit crunch and the bleak times ahead some might be feeling a little down, but having now had well over a thousand visits and with more and more of you lovely people reading the blog every day it's time for a treat in the form of a super special 'beat the credit crunch' post! Enjoy the bass and spread the good times... OK so this one's just plain silly, why not? I don't know anything about Pinot Grigio ( myspace ) other than the fact that he likes bass too. He [...]
It's all confirmed, flyers are being printed, time to get excited! Add yourself to the Facebook Event , if we're feeling nice you might get a lovely surprise!
I've been meaning to post about Blaze Tripp ( myspace ) for a little while now and seeing as I seem to have at last caught up with everything, well almost, why not on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon? I first came across this young Australian producer a while back when I picked up his lovely Chromeo ( myspace ) edit, he then again came to my attention when I discovered he was using the ever brilliant SoundCloud. So I asked him if he would send over some tracks for you lucky people, and he did. Now I don't know a [...]
Cut & Paste ( myspace ) is Saturday, expect this and other ridiculousness: Lil' Wayne - Lollipop (Nasty Ways Remix) ( Nasty Ways myspace )
This week has mostly disappeared somewhere into the depths of my macbook, most likely between photoshop and my newbutnotsoshinyyetnothankstom yspace myspace . But I did unearth this little gem, the original is all over the radio right now so just in case you missed it the first time: Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss (Raffertie's Explicit Remix)
Alright so you need to get on this right now and then make sure you tell all your friends. Nightshifters is a collective of some of the most exciting and genre pushing producers from both sides of the Atlantic. So far they've confirmed: AC Slater ( myspace ), Hostage ( myspace ), Rob Threezy ( myspace ), Proper Villains ( myspace ), Rampage ( myspace ) and super cool DJ 4AM Jess ( myspace ). Label head honcho and generally enlightened mastermind is DJ Donna Summer ( myspace ). Every month they'll be releasing one [...]
This weekend it's all about Friday night. There are two parties in town that will giving the bass bins a more than healthy seeing to. BokBok is celebrating his birthday Night Slugs style as they take over Drums Of The South at Plan B, Brixton. Residents Bok Bok & Manara and L-Vis 1990 will no doubt lay down some ridiculous bass alongside Silverlink ( myspace ) and the amazing Oneman ( myspace ). Facing off with Night Slugs is an [...]
I've been meaning to write about the heavy bass master Kanji Kinetic ( myspace ) for a while now, yes I know that I've pretty much missed the proverbial blogging boat on this one and reading Trash Menagerie's latest post really was the final nail in the coffin. But considering I hope to be posting a lot more about Kanji in the coming months * perhaps I know something you don't! * why shouldn't I start here? After all, by some massive stretch of the imagination perhaps some of you may not have heard of him [...]
This cat is on fire right now and I've been lucky enough to get an exclusive live mix to share with you all. It's fast, bouncing and hot. MKXTC's ( myspace ) newest release has rightly been picked up by NY bass heavy allstar label Trouble & Bass ( myspace ) and is due for release on 16th September. It's backed with massive remixes from T&B head honcho Drop The Lime ( myspace ) and one of my favourite producers right now Kanji Kinetic ( myspace ). MiKiX The Cat - ScenexScience Exclusive Mix ( zShare ) [...]
Just a quick heads up on Raffertie's new remix of Otto Von Schirach's ( myspace ) 'Nightmare Nipple F' , released today as an iTunes exclusive on Berlin label Cock Rock Disco ( myspace ). Go Buy!
I don't know much about Toast ( myspace ) but I just got sent this. It's a ridiculous take on a ridiculous tune. In a genre that many say is stagnating these guys seem to be heading in the right direction - bringing in some nice fresh sounds. Head over to their myspace and check out 'DieABeatEase' too, it's a hot one. Raffertie - Antisocial (Toast Refix)
Even if Marvel were to hazard a guess as to what would happen if Elite Force ( myspace ) met the real Zodiac Cartel ( myspace ) the result wouldn't be as good as this (especially the drop at about 3.50). It's released on 29th September on U&A Recordings so go buy it. Elite Force - Jack The Joint (Zodiac Cartel Blog Edit)
Somehow, after an utterly depressing start, the sun decided to shine on Notting Hill this weekend, making for a very enjoyable day at the busier-than-ever Good Times Soundsystem, thanks Norman. But after having to work yet another Bank Holiday Monday I'm already looking forward to next weekend... Friday night is Cut & Paste's ( myspace ) opening night at Platform 9. It'll be refreshing to see these guys pushing the fidget/tech/bass sound in Guildford and educating a few people along the way. They've got some really good nights lined up so be sure to keep an eye out. [...]
