Seriously though, Riva Starr has been consistently impressing everyone with his "re-chunks" all year and now the gypsy feast that is I Was Drunk is finally on deck. The dub mix and Black and White on the B side are nice little strippers too in case you're not down with Noze 's Parisian tomfoolery, but the lyrics really are classic. I'm glad to see something a little kooky topping the charts and I certainly won't mind hearing this around town for a while. Riva Starr - I Was Drunk (feat. Noze)

Although Riva Starr has been knocking about for sometime now it's only been recently, in my personal opinion, that his sound has become fully formed. His most recent productions have thoroughly impressed me and over summer I really fell in love with his remix of Love Long Distance by The Gossip . He's got an album on the way, signed to Made to Play, which is expected to be released in January 2010. But as next year [...]

Berlin's Oliver $ has had some massive tech releases this past year, hitting the streets hard with Watcha Gonna Do? and What's In Your Head both out on Made To Play . The edit he did of his own tune Ta Com Medo De Mim featur ing Deize Tigrona on Man Recordings has found its way into most of my sets this year as a great bridge track. His latest comes in the form of a remix of Gio Martinez and Genetik 's Rempejack out on Kingdom Kome Cuts. [...]

Formed in 2006 Lucas Hunter & Nat Self are ʻZombie Disco Squadʼ the multi-talented production duo that are taking house music in their own unique direction. Taking influences from Balie Funk, African rhythms, Baltimore, Hip-Hop, the so-called fidget sound and making it sound fresh. You wonʼt find any cheesy gimmicks in their records but what you will find are tracks played by some of the most influential DJʼs [...]
