You know I'm not usually too keen on mixetapes coz they dont really show the potential of the DJ whatever. But this dude, has got mad hot skills, man. This is Baobinga 's first foray into jungle/DnB and also features all his original raggastep stuff he'd recently done with MCs Spyda ( Pendulum ), Rubi Dan ( The Heatwave ) and Killa Benz (Charlie Sloth). Bristol scene is really heatin up, actually been so for a while now. PLUS: anyone happenin to be in Ukraine anytime soon? Dude's gonna be doing a Ukrainian debut [...]

People check this gem I stumbled across - ya'll need to seriously get with this. Kulez is an MC from Norwich, but don't let that put you off yet just coz he aint from down south. You can tell this blud's been seasoned and made his name by so many street battles with the way he spits. His wordplay borders on lyrical wit and ingenuity. Maybe its worth mentioning that this MC's the first UK rapper to follow in Eminem's footsteps and competed in scribble jam when he was 16. Havin done a UK & European [...]

We're back from Wax:On Leeds' halloween special with these awesome shots from the night! Check it below! Wax:On never fails to impress, this time pulling out all the stops for a total night of mayhem, make-up and monstrous tunes. 3 rooms of top-notch DJs with Fake Blood aptly headlining the event, driving the kids insane in the main room.

Fenech-Soler makes me wanna dance like its 1997! If we all remember quite clearly, the indie-dance prototypes of the time were still quite primitive as they endeavored to cut, copy and fit dance beats with indierock - quite awkward. Still, I loved the shambolic fun anyway. Fenech-Soler, on the other hand, started out in a bedroom studio in Northampton and only first caught mainstream attention just last year at the In The City unsigned-bands festival in Manchester. To those who went, it was immediately clear that this band is definitely different to the indie-dance prototypes I was talking about [...]

Ya'll better watch out for She Is Danger : Lena Cullen and Maya Jane Coles are 2 super hot, super talented young girls comin out from south london, churning out this awesome dubstep electronica mix - I can't even describe it, its so smooth, the vocals and lyrics flowin over the athmospheric ambience - and then the fucking wobbles come in, the bass is deep , like, reaall down low deep. Their sound is gritty, sexy, close-your-eyes-and-feel-it. Better believe it, this is so mega, I almost pissed myself. Just have a listen to their songs [...]

Fuckin hell, this is fucking filthy. NO1Else just dropped some pretty big tracks in my inbox. Massive, total distortion, overdriven to the point of insanity from this Parisian producer. This guy caught my attention a few months back with Cocaino Combo - a furious, raging banger, hard drumkicks and shredding synths. Now he's back with some more new stuff to tear your stereos apart. For those of you who like your dance hard, thrashy and dirty, you've got more than you've bargained for. [ NO1ELSE - Kick Ass Derby ] --> BAD FOTOGRAPHY RECOMMENDS! [...]

Last night I went to the Kitsune party at Nation of Shopkeepers . Delphic and Two Door Cinema Club were on the bill - it looked like it was going to be a night of epic proportions - ish . For one, I made the mistake of coming late, missed Two Door Cinema Club and had to queue . There are two things I do not like: walking is one of them. The other is waiting . And then it was so rammed in there - I can hardly [...]

Cigarettes, dark glasses and Fred Perry. And black, all black. Alan Gay is the next one to watch on the french label, Young Gunz . I'm really liking this smooth, sleek persona. For some reason, this guy really reminds me of SebastiAn , not musically but as in, the vibe . Rave-y wonky electro chopped up with bits of crunk, synths twisted and bent over backwards with a kickin beat. Mr Alan Gay will be releasing his Bastardrave EP with remixes from Acid Washed and Humanlife in 2 months, I was told; how [...]

So on Wednesday, me and a couple of my friends went to this private party at this concept store in the city centre called Paper Scissors Stone , lured by the promise of free champagne, sushi and first look at a new label they've got onboard called Oh My Love . Oh god, the goods are so lush. I was really after Electronic Poet 's quilted crew neck sweater (as worn by Master Shortie !!) that they stock but it sold out, much to my dismay. As we got slightly tipsy on the bubbly, I got [...]

Alright, peeps, get ready for this: NYC partykids, Designer Drugs are gonna get a new EP out very soon now on IHEARTCOMIX . The last EP, Zombies was a total dancefloor fidget house monstermashup and we think this new one's gonna up the tempo a bit more, judging from this exclusive track off the new EP. What do you say? [ Designer Drugs - Drop Down ] ->You be mad for not listenin to this! Get your hands on Zombies on iTunes here . [...]

The sexiest electro rock and roll couple ever (move over Chris and Dexy Valentine !!) - Vive La Fete ; is releasing their sixth studio album, Disque D'or in December 2009 in the UK. This is the Belgian electro-glamrock answer to The Kills - sexy, bass heavy filth, driving synths, distorted guitars layered with the voice and lyrics of a 60s french songstress. A brief history on these guys: Danny Mommens (ex dEUS, yeah remember Sister Dew, just awesome!) and his hot blonde girlfriend Elys Pynoo met in 1997, fell crazily in love and [...]

In the mood for something else altogether different now. Last Friday, I went to see Divorce play at the Common Place. The last time I saw them was at a shitty venue a few months back (The Library if anyone wants to know). The soundsystem there was shit, the place was shit. It didn't do their sound any justice. At the Common Place, they totally KILLED. Divorce are from Glasgow and their music is what they call "a nae-wave domestic dispute." And it pretty much sounds like that. Making noise and making it good. Imagine DFA records on [...]

YES! Miami Horror has resurfaced back onto my love radar again when they announced the release date for their debut Illumination . Set for a major label launch in 2010, Pedestrian.tv premiered the video for the single Sometimes yesterday - a strange, dreamy sorta vid, quite fitting for the track really. I'm kinda thinking this is more perfect for the summer just gone. But oh well. Better now than never! [Miami Horror - Sometimes] [...]
