For those of you who are new to the site, this is a list of my favourite dance music from the last year. It's not exclusively remixes, and yes, you can argue you could dance to the songs in the Top Tracks list too. Out in the Streets - Africa HiTech The Look (Koreless remix) - Jacques Greene Surph - Rustie Sketch - Synkro Sicko Cell - Joy Orbison Rolling In The Deep (Jamie xx Shuffle) [...]
Some of you have probably already seen the footage from Holy Ship where some of the bigger dj's on the globe are getting it down on the new Kill Frenzy track: "Booty Clap". In case you missed it, check it here! Booty Clap is part from a two part compilation by the San Francisco based label " Dirtybird ". Part one was released at the start of the new year and part two (including Booty Clap) and three will follow the 25th of january. Have a listen to the complete Booty Clap track below and I also added [...]
Though originally from Essex, Christian Sibthorpe aka A1 Bassline really is another child of that infamous Croydon bubble. His musical aspirations took shape at an early stage - in fact, anything but a life in music would have been surprising, as Christian not only grew up with childhood friends Joy Orbison and Ben UFO but was properly raised on 2-step, garage and drum'n'bass by his father Dem2 (aka US Alliance, founder of Rave Magazine). Despite his upbringing on all things sub-bass and frequent trips to legendary record stores Big Apple and Swag, A1 developed a deep love for house and [...]

As I was growing up and starting to get into electronic music I was always accompanied and fascinated by the dirtybird team who've been pumping out their distinct take on bleeps and beats for at least seven years now. Now the big bass team have a new compilation coming out that will be taking us even further into their next wave of music. There will be 14 different artists delivering all manner of styles and new genres... take your pick from deep house, bass music, jackin funk, and ghetto filth. The series will be released [...]

To follow up this stella year CVS is preparing the release of a 12 track compilation 'Hatched' which will feature 12 exclusive tracks from new and trusted Dirtybird artists. Before the full compilation comes out in February, [...]
What with it getting dark around 4:30pm and everyone saving their pennies for Christmas, there's a definite feel of hibernation in the air. You can moan all you like about how boring that is, but actually we're all benefiting hugely from that. It seems every dj/producer and their dog has locked themselves away with a crate full of exclusives and made sick free mixtapes for us to enjoy. Seriously, the amount of aaaaaamazing mixtapes and podcasts full of banging tunes floating about the blog-o-sphere sent to warm our hearts and ears, all thanks to the kindness of our favourite artists.... it's [...]

I have to be honest, I'm very excited to bring today's post to you guys.

Come and enjoy. Slap In The Bass is a name everyone should expect to start hearing more about from now on. After I first heard
We caught up with talented young DJ and producer A1 Bassline ahead of his set this Friday at The Future Now at Kings Cross club The Egg. Hailing from Croydon, A1 Bassline, aka Christian Sibthorpe, has been on our radar for a while but with the current rerelease of his banging track Falsehood on dirtybird we thought it was about time to have a chat about all manner of topics from Claude Von Stroke to moths to Croydon Hot-Spots... Hi A1 Bassline. Hope you're doing well today. [...]
In my last post about Justin Martin I had a link to A1 Bassline's debut release on Dirtybird Records. This release not only represented a new sound for Dirtybird , but also for an artist who is perhaps best known for his Fidget than his thoughtful House. Back in 2008 A1's debut release ' Girl Thing ' announced him on the dance scene and was heavily supported from the likes of Annie Mac, Trevor Nelson and Sinden. Since then the South Croydon raised DJ/producer has gone from strength to strength with several releases on [...]

Woah. I really slept on this track. According to itunes, its been sitting around with no plays since last June. A shame too, this track is filled with big synths and all sorts of other big noises. It really reminds me of Congorock's newest track Sirius in terms of the bass but with a more distinctive melody in the refrain. Enjoy the 320! Close To Me - A1 Bassline (Original Mix)
It's a pleasure to welcome Mr A1 Bassline to our mix series. Our following goes back a very long way with this producer, possibly even could be 5 years since his first appearance on the blogs. A couple of prior aliases to A1 Bassline then A1 Bassline with a new sound and now he's the co-founder of Tighten Up Records. Not only have his productions developed and matured but his new hybrid sound
