O hai epic Potty Mouth line-up. What's that you say? Inxec has coaxed his LA cohorts Droog over to London town to play with him? And Polish duo Catz N Dogz are in town playing a rare live set? And somehow Danish DJ and producer Noir has been thrown into the mix too?? It's no surprise that clubbers have been going mental for Droog Vs Inxec 's tech-house track Westbound. It's got a dark tone to it with a wonderful build-up that will excite both experienced ravers and those new to the scene. But it's [...]
Even if you don't recognise Iranian-born Amirali from his spectacular opening track 'My Way' on the recent Crosstown Rebels compilaton Get Lost 4, one thing is certain: his style of melancholic house is most definitely going to be punctuating your year. His latest track Beautiful World has been popping up on Rebel-related podcasts and mixes, and should be known to hardcore Damian Lazarus fans at the very least. The seminal label describe the track as: "Laced with the gothic sound of Depeche Mode colliding in the future with the spawn of Art Department and Underworld at [...]
Spaniard El_Txef_A seems to really enjoy tinkering with other people's music. His latest re-edit is unusually enough one of American folk band Bon Iver. Not quite what you'd expect from an artist on Hypercolour . Previous re-edits include a haunting version of Fink's See It All which even popped up on a Visionquest mix early last year. Download them both for FREE now. El_Txef_A - Calgary re-edit [ download here ] El_Txef_A - See It All near u [...]
All over the internet regular people have been moaning about how much 2011 sucked and how 2012 is going to be amazingly epic. Whilst all this has been going on every DJ and producer has proclaimed what a brilliant year they've had and how it's absolutely been one of the best years of their lives. And you know what, listening to Exploited Records head Shir Khan's Best Of 2011 Mix, it's stunning apparent that that it *has* been house music's year. Every track is a killer and is the type that's going to have you dancing round your [...]
Every DJ worth their salt has been busting out Puente & Rosch 's fantastic track 'This Feeling' over speakers and podcasts recently and if you're genuinely not familiar with it, you've either not been leaving the house or venturing onto the internet. Purveyors of 'Future Gangsta House' the duo recently played at Slowpoke 's First Birthday in London and by all accounts impressed the promoters so much they've invited the Barcelona-based duo back for a headline slot early this year. More news on that when we have it. For now, appease yourself with Sishi Rösch's awesome new podcast [...]
Rarely has a party been so eagerly anticipated as Hot Natured first ever London Party this New Year's Day. With a scramble for tickets resulting in second-hand ones fetching £60 and more leaving some smug, some out of pocket and some bitterly disappointed. It's great to see the boys reap the benefits of their obvious talent and hard work, but such insane popularity brings obvious problems for the more discerning clubber. So any negativity surrounding the event are in no way a reflection on the Hot Natured crew themselves, as the main source of any upset was the crowd itself. It's [...]
Tonight is our last SOCIETY Session of the year and this one is going to bring down the walls. No excuses – no work in the morning (unless you're really unlucky). Come and werk off that Xmas Turkey with a non-stop basement jackin' session. Joining ROBERT OWENS this month are the inimitable DAN BEAUMONT , who many of you will remember from our Marshall Jefferson warehouse party earlier this year (he absolutely KILLED IT ) and Trailer Trash legend MIKKI MOST who will both be digging to the back of [...]
If, like me, you've gone home for Christmas, then chances are you're stuck out in the countryside somewhere trying to avoid Christmas music and awaiting relatives who you know will spend the next few days mercilessly taking the piss out of you. So if you know that pain, then surely you can forgive me producing yet another of these end-of-year lists. I've limited myself to only five though as I figure most people will skim mega-long lists. Over the last month there's been poll after poll, list after list; all essentially saying the same thing. But they're never [...]
As he's due to hit our shores early next year, we asked Israeli-born, NYC-based DJ and producer Elon to spread a little early Christmas cheer and share with us his top tracks for December. Fan of underground techno, deep-house, tech-house and the like? You'll be mighty pleased with his picks then! Don't say we don't spoil you.... XDB - Sunda (Brooks Mosher Remix) [Dolly] Loving the automated bass lines, the pads, and the simplicity of the track arrangement. [...]
Can you keep a secret? OK - cool. So a new little basement space has cropped up on Kingsland Road - and they're doing a cheeky pre-launch party this Saturday (17th Dec 2011). Run by Potty Mouth promoter and long-time friend of WANARB, this 200 capacity venue will be open weekly and promises to become quite a hit on the East London scene. Expect to start hearing a lot more about it in the weeks and months to come (you heard it here first). The pre-launch is an invite only, friends and family type affair, but [...]
Berlin-based Aquarius Heaven is no stranger to a sexy tune. After moving to Paris in 2005 and hooking up legendary French act dOP , the ex-reggae and dancehall singer broke into the world of dance. His last release Can't Buy Love , on Walf + Lamb, was the type of track you could get obsessed over. With a low-down groove and hilariously shocking sexual lyrics, it was one of this autumn's biggest tracks, featuring on both Visionquest's recent Fabric 61 Mix and Art Department's Essential Mix. Latest track Stop is accompanied with a very very sexy [...]

'Home' by M.A.N.D.Y vs. Bookashade has been put through the remix mill and the results are explosive. Tim Green, Jona and Monaque have all added superb interpretations to it – but my personal fave is the Tim Green mix. London-based Tim Green has been an ever-present name in Tech / Deep House in recent years, but a string of impressive releases in 2011 has catapulted him to the upper echelons of the scene. Looking forward to what 2012 has in store… Home Remixes Part 1. is out now. You can buy it here , or [...]
In this day and age it's hard to retain an air of mystery. Most up-and-coming artists are clamouring for attention; desperate to be heard above the din of so much available music. Not so with the enigmatic pplaceholderr, who seems to be a bedroom producer somewhere in surburban America, who's genuinely a bit shocked that people are liking his music on Facebook. The thing is, his music is actually fucking beautiful. Standout track Don't U Know has been remixed by Jacob Korn and found it's way into Catz N Dogz record box and been [...]
So I guess you must be here because you clicked a link inviting you to watch Fatboy Slim, Riva Starr & Beardyman Get Naked? Well I can tell you now that's not gonna happen. What you will get however is three large burlesque ladies portaying the artists and a fun, bouncy, head nodder of a club track. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending what you're into) they don't Get Naked . In describing his sound, Starr could be describing the video too: "The Riva Starr sound has many different angles to it. It's [...]
I'm gonna assume that by now, you've probably already heard Azari and III's latest single 'Reckless (With Your Love)'? The Torontonian four piece have been virtually impossible to ignore this last year. In fact, you're probably already a fan? What you may not have heard however is this great Tiga remix of said single (featuring a classic Tiga bassline) which you can stream below. Reckless (With Your Love) officially drops, on 12 th February, with super-producer Paul Epworth stepping up on remix duties, offering a radio edit and mix. Further remixes come [...]
London based Ali Love, has up until recently been known for a more disco sound with 20102s album Love Harder drawing comparisons to Heartbreak and Cut Copy. This year however, has seen him ally himself with dance music's big-guns: the Hot Creations crew headed up by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss. His latest project, Infinity Ink, with Luca C , has been getting notable attention with latest track Games appearing on mixes by anyone worth listening to, including both Maceo Plex and Art Department. Fitting then, that he should be performing a live PA this [...]
Dear hot single girls of London, Please consider this a Public Service Announcement: have you been wondering where all the beautiful boys of London are hiding? Sure you catch a glimpse here and there of these rare creatures, but is there anywhere you can find them altogether in one place? Some say in whispered tones that First Thursdays in east London is the place to go. Beautiful boys looking at art and drinking beer- swoon. Like shooting fish in a barrel they say. Actually, the answer you've been waiting for is Durrr. Good-looking men as far [...]
It's videos like this that wasteful Friday afternoons are made for. BBC show This Week decided to announce the news that Underworld had been named the musical directors of the 2012 Olympics in a rather.... unique way. After cracking a few jokes about the film Trainspotting and "performance enhancing drugs", Underworld's most well-known track Born Slippy played WHILST THE GUESTS RAVED IN THEIR CHAIRS. Yes. Really. On a show about politics. The presenter, Andrew Neil, comedian Andi Osho and MICHAEL FUCKING PORTILLO AND JACQUI SMITH ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE RAVE. Check out the video, oh and [...]
