I'd like to say a big thank you to all our readers over the past couple of years, but we are no longer running the Tech Funk Manifesto . However, we'd like to invite you to our new blog 'United & Anarchic' . The themes will be similar, there will be plenty of quality music up for grabs, but the interface, writing and front end will, we hope, be of a much higher quality, and geared a little more to artists affiliated with our U&A Recordings imprint (although not exclusively). There will also be [...]
It's clear that this man doesn't take himself too seriously (you need only look at his press shots!) but it's clear his music does. Damn Horns sprung to light for me via Mr No Hands Life Support Machine Blog . His mix below enbodies techfunk, electro, breaks & House gelled together with aplomb and the thing that also got me was his approach to showcasing some of the free workings flying around the web at the moment, which you have to take your hat off too, and shows [...]

The Shockland album from Elite Force has been in the pipeline for some time now, and this week it finally sees the light of day amidst a blaze of publicity, including El Forza's first DJ Magazine cover. Bless. The tracks contained within were written for the awesome game Motorstorm Apocalypse for the PS3 (which was released a couple of months back to great acclaim) in collaboration with Oscar-winning classical / soundtrack composer Klaus Badelt , whose work you will be familiar with [...]

Felix Luker (aka Oleg Voronin from the Ukraine) is a truly emerging talent on the scene. He first appeared on U&A Recordings last summer with his massive single 'Mechanical' , which slayed many a crowd, from huge festivals, to tiny basement sweatboxes. Since then he's been dabbling with progressive and minimal releases, but has really found his range on the forthcoming single 'SAW' ... a great slice of hooky, grinding peaktime tech that tips its cap to the likes of Afrojack & Will Bailey whilst retaining it's own [...]

Raw, groove laden, tech-tinged breaks, electro and house! Enjoy. ... and don't forget to grab the EP RIGHT HERE . 1. Zodiac Cartel Vs [...]
