The enigmatic foursome that is Automatic Reaction - are back with four interstellar soulful mixtapes of equal calibre.

The Golden Ponys’ lets-go-round-the-merry-go-rou nd mix of Passion Pits’ ‘Carried Away’ is most definitely bouncy. Brooklyn’s double act of up & coming flavour packs more memorable energy into their stride, than a little puppy who’s running towards their next meal. Even though each and every one of their mixes are exciting, TGPs’ memorable moments are ‘Juicy Bass Head,’ ‘Somebody That I Used To Know,’ ‘Dreamers’ and their über-fabulous ‘What I Want.’ The dancefloor has just gotten a little bigger...

Project-hearty party of the Gentlemen Thieves go long ‘n’ hard on a sextuplet arrangement of some electronic breaks-heavy, bass-crumble assortment through ‘Cherry,’ ‘Grand Prix,’ ‘Outrage’ and ‘Rebels . A gracious angelic reminder from the saintly vocalic Aaliyah is on offer, plus a weird & loopy sunny refreshment coating the coattails of Beastie Boys’ ‘Intergalactic.’ It’s time to switch on that synthesizer and crack open a mixture of brandy & coke to celebrate. Aaliyah – Are You That Somebody (Gentlemen Thieves Remix) [...]
Now seems a better time than any to dust of this gem of a remix by the man they call Kreap . As most of you are probably aware the legend Adam Yauch aka MCA , one the founding members of the great hip hop trio, Beastie Boys , pasted away this month, may he rest in peace. In 2011 the trio did one of my all time favorite collabs with the one and only Santigold , a reggae funk meets hip hop track entitled Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win [...]
Written & performed by Dennis McNany and Jee Young Sim featuring Chica Vas Drum Arkestra and Tiffany Roth on the accompanied A&B sides on Jee Day’s ‘Aura Go’ / ‘Lowhand’ release - we witness a gathering of night time tales via the routes of the Amazon forest.. time warped into a rather naughty & awkward moment amid Studio 54’s main room dance floor with the Talking Heads overlooking the debauchery. Tim “Da Man” Ireland dusts off his Beastie Boys records and samples a tight vocal loop from ‘Paul Revere’ that dives head first into the [...]

Today I bring you a showdown between two very different types of vitamins. On one side we have the Heavy ragetastic-break-everything-in -sight vitamins and in the opposite corner we have the Groovy get-down-and-bust-a-move vitamins. Lets start with the heavy and progress to the groovy. Heavy Vitamins When I think of ruski electro-rage artists, Proxy is the first name that comes to mind. Moreover, fellow MAKO Records artists, Polymorphic , is another name that comes to mind as well. If you've heard of Polymorhpic, awesome. Otherwise, [...]
