Whoah now. This is one mix we've been itching for, scratching biting and clawing for even. Y'know how much we hard-love L-Vis 1990; James might take his DJ name from some gloomy place in the 80s, but his brains are so far forward he squeezes juice from the deepest part of our eardrums. OUCH. Riton and Primary 1 - Who\'s There? L-Vis 1990 mix (YSI) z share Big thanks to Mad Decent, Riton and Primary 1 for exploding this early. The full quality, full beauty version will drop over at [...]
This ain't breaking news, but it's a Friday afternoon, we're throwing a BIG party this weekend and I'd happily loop this track for 1000 hours and bask in its fever. I've always had a XL adoration for Ms Dynamite and Sticky, when 'Boo' first dropped wayyy back I was posessed.. a holy UKG track that still bangs everything out of its path now. Then sad times arrived and Ms Dynamite did a stint on some dutty reality tv show, probably pawned her Mercury trophy for a bottle of Archers and shared a rehab hut with Shola Ama - it all [...]
Don't get ya pantaloons twisted - We certainly aren't gonna turn all Jo Wiley on you & start gushing hype over Snow Patrol mashing up Rhianna. Nah nah nah - but we do like a strong cover, especially something that makes you feel creepy-goosebump-firey. We are ultra tight with The XX, ever since they were 15 and recorded 'blood red moon' in a Wandsworth bedroom with no double glazing and plenty of background sirens - we had deep love for them. Romy and Oliver do special things together, their voices are blended like the stripes in toothpaste, mainly [...]
Maxwell D is a handsome fella that can squeal like a pinched-puppy mid-verse - which I rate as a big skill. Ever since the prime UKG and very early grime days, Maxwell was pushing loud and essentially London sounds with the other Pay as U Go Cartel team (yep, like Wiley) and is now teaming with stunning producers like Lil Silva, to create fresh uk-funky driven anthems to make your head bounce. The 1st is a smasher focused on Maxwell's love for social networking and sms communication, complete with Lil Silva's 'Different' track backing things up - sounds stretched [...]
Here's something wholesome to start your week right. Our pals at Night Slugs enjoy the finer things in life, such as home-baking and food hygiene. 'Come Grime With Me' is hosted by bass-gal dj Sara Manara with a rack of sumptious guests: gutter-house dj Bok Bok, UK funky MC Donae'o, Dancehall MC and dj Warrior Queen and our favourite uk house dj/producer L-Vis 1990. Sara cooks up an italian feast with some almost positive results. Expect to snigger ALOT at narrator Jammer slammin' everything in sight - wash your hands gal! This is too funny. The remixed theme tune [...]
Feelin eyerie? Our friends at Frames in the Lanes (Brighton) are hosting a BIG competition. Basically get yourself in there, get your photo taken wearing some sleek frames and let the judges do their thinking. Somebody claims a pair of free frames from Booth and Bruce, a pair of sunglasses and a luxurious kinda spa day. That's some goodies. Frames in the Lanes And some vintage UKG to your Saturday planning, we always got so jittery with this.

B.Rich makes some heavy house'n'bass mixes that could start a party in a care home. This is gonna get blogged t'death before the week is out, so enjoy it loudly. I sense Toni&Guy running a 'La Roux' special haircut to support the album launch. La Roux - TigerLily - B.Rich remix If you wanna reach some more, have a look at the B.Rich Myspace page which is crammed full of goodness http://www.myspace.com/brichba ss
Phaseone is from St Louis. We like his remixes all of the time. They sound like gentle ghost puppies. The Animal Collective blend doesn't lose any of the tracks original charm and bizarre behaviour, it just holds it underwater and shakes it around a bit. That's nice right. Animal Collective - Daily Routine - Phase One Remix Here's some older blends that do the same thing. Phaseone isn't clumsy or heavy handed, there's no disposable-dub mixes of Little Boots to generate radio play, just some pretty ideas and patient builds. [...]
THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE QUEEN. And by queen, I mean Janet. this video is in my top five EVA. Mainly for that one shot of Janet when she clutches her pre-fat tits and has airbrushed fringe sweeping over her photoshopped face. I like the key change too.
Bok Bok aka Alex Sushon is one of the important dj's. He's been steppin on future-pushin raves for lots of time, as one half of Faggatronix with the entirely good-stuff Manara, and as co-founder of Night Slugs with L-Vis 1990, who is dipped in gold i tell ya. Dre Skull has been on top of things working with Lauren Flax, Sizzla, Buraka Som Sistema and trillions more. The new single 'I Want You' has been sliced about by a gang of A-listers, including AC Slater, Bobmo and Alex Gopher. The stand out comes from Bok Bok, who sponges out all those poppy [...]
Everybody loves to verbally wank over Ellie Goulding. It's a whole lot of 'neu Florence Welch/Lykke Li/Little Boots alert,' which is like comparing a pink wafer to a custard cream - sure yeah, they are both biscuits - but both are entirely different creatures. Plus pink wafers make me barf. Ellie Goulding avoids saccharine chorus loops and obvious lyrics. I reckon she probably spits on the floor and never buys the Big Issue, writing songs about all the usual shit, but with a rather appealing edge. She's covered Bjork (brave, brave move gal) and Bon Iver (actually quite [...]
We never thought we'd see grime evolve into tuff boys wearing make-up and practising dance routines on webcam, but we're kinda happy it has. This UK Funky skank-feverr is taking over iPhones across SE London, Migraine Skank, Stanky Legg Skank, Cell Phone Skank - Fr3e took it to a higher vision with Tribal Skank: it's dark, hypnotic and addictive like vintage cough syrup. Fr3e - Tribal Skank To stick something traditional in to the skank-edit, Bigzy and Unkle hired a spotlight, a school hall and a booty-crew to create Ringa-Roses. If KIG wasn't enough [...]
Terror Danjah is some epic force. Founding AfterShock Records and producing ssssslick sounds for fellas like Kano, Sway and Roll Deep he shoved out a record so heavy last December that we're still in recovery. Hardrive Volume 1 features Chipmunk, Mz Brat, Durtty Goodz, Swindle and Wiley amongst a WHOLE feast more. There's one track that stood out like goosebumps for us - featuring the ol'time princess of UKGarage Shola Ama, here's a mix so stunning and dark we wanna date it, then report it to the police. Terror Danjah featuring Shola Ama - Forgets [...]
