R&S was originally founded way back in 1984 and continues to this day to release exciting new electronica. While their back catalogue is absolutely packed with anthems, Radio Scorpio invited label founder Renaat Vandepapeliere to put together a mix of his favourites from the label's '90s output. Fire it up below and take in the classics, and there's a cheeky wee exclusive play of the new Model 500 as well. Tracklist 1) Derrick May The Beginning [...]
Luke Vibert last donned the Plug alias for the brilliant "Drum n Bass For Papa" album in 1996 and Ninja Tune have just unearthed a treasure trove of unreleased material from that time. Time has been kind to the material and the label have gathered the goodies together for an album entitled "Back On Time" , set for release on January 9th. "Feeling So Special" has been unleashed to whet the appetite and it's a classy slab of old skool dnb that still sounds better than the majority [...]
The Moogs are back with the latest release from House music moguls Audiojack and their 'Get Serious' EP with four original numbers created entirely from square number one. All of the sounds and samples from this release have been made from scratch rather than picking a few out of there library of loops. Having a new start means that we have a some freshness on this latest seductive outburst which takes the genre of House into deep territory. The title track 'Get Serious' is a soft, [...]
Guecharbaluta EP are a total of four awesome tracks that fluctuate between old skool, funky and deep house, always with the personal and magic Pablo touch. But hey! lets stop with the words... just listen and enjoy this quality ep
Zomby's signing to legendary indie label 4AD came as a bit of a surprise but the album that followed ( "Dedication" ) was a joy to behold and is sure to be in many's end of year charts. Now, as a wee added bonus, there's an EP of tracks from the same studio sessions as the album set for release on 28th of November. Keeping things short and snappy with a running time of just over 20 minutes, the EP covers Zomby's love for old skool breakbeats in "Labyrinth", "Sens" and "Ecstacy [...]
Good Looking are responsible for some of the finest moments in drum n bass history and this atmospheric roller from 93 is up there with the best. As with all the best tunes from the era, it's simple but hugely effective, combining otherworldly atmospherics and pads with a tough rollin' amen and a wall of sub bass. Originally released as Tayla with Bukem getting production credits and later re-released as LTJ Bukem & Tayla. LTJ Bukem & Tayla - Bang The Drums
This is a video for the superb new single by Wool, 'SF 942 . Some old skool action from San Francisco. Enjoy! "I really wanted to get away from making a poppy/concept video. The song itself is all about vague, druggy, youthful memories so I wanted to portray the feeling of that. I feel like every dance music video has to have a 'clever' concept these days and that whole deal is really dull to me... Dance music doesn't have to be all 'sell sell sell' in the music videos. It can be about ambience, [...]
Inspired by some time in the Radio Magnetic offices this week, it seems appropriate to hit up what is a quality old skool biscuit, the Club. With 3 flavours to choose from, that one would you go for? Free tunes anyone. Balam Acab are featuring more and more at the Labs. If it the high quality EP's its the excellent remixes. This time its a rework of Twin Sister that grabbed out attention. Marco Del Horno is about [...]
Nightwave's DJ mix for Clash just went viral today and it's slick. Check it out below. Nightwave DJ Mix by Clash Music on Mixcloud
Even though Rob 'Ceos' Ferri is based in New York his breakbeat tunes from his label Downbeat Productions always travel extremely well over the Atlantic to a warm and rapturous welcome in the UK and beyond. This brand new signing The Flashback Project are sure to well on both sides of the pond with their Glastonbury buzz on one track and their Burning Man vibe on the other. The first piece of tuneage 'No Pressure' has the big party atmosphere incorporated with big [...]
There is something in the water in Paris, other than shit, piss, watery baguette and too much calc. Following from from last weeks Justice epicness comes a new album from Surkin called 'USA' out today btw, featuring this hot little electrode called 'Ultra Light'. Consume this shit now bitches. Surkin - Ultra Light (MRBL009) by Surkin Surkin - USA (Album Teaser) by [...]
We've previously covered 4 Hero's downtempo material in the Classics section of the site and today we're taking a trip back to 1991 with this breakbeat classic from the duo. Kicking off with the creepy "your son is dead" sample and throwing ravey stabs over some classic breaks and a big truck full of sub bass, it's an anthem that's stood the test of time nicely. Originally released on the "Combat Dancin" EP on Reinforced the track has seen many many remixes over the years - none [...]
As we continue our dive into the Soma back catalogue, today we go right back to 1991 and the label's very first release - Slam's "Eterna". With the 20th birthday celebrations now in full swing and a forthcoming special event at the Arches on the 30th Sept , now seems the perfect time to take a look at where it all began. With progressive house about to blow up at the start of the 90s', Slam and the likes of Guerilla Records were key in the [...]
Won't be many posts from me (Kev) for a while - I'm getting married this weekend, then off on honeymoon. Leave you with this - a pure piece of old-school feel-good house music, re-released as part of the impecabble "More GDM" series on Tigersushi …. "Ooooooooh - this is some good shit"
Normally, you wouldn't associate this blog with garage of any kind and I can't really confess to being any kind of expert, but I did grow up in a town that dedicated most of its club nights to cheesy R'n'B and Garage, so allow me to indulge you. Garage, as I knew it back then, seemed to be nothing more than a musical vehicle whose only purpose was to allow you to grind up against chavvy girls. The music masked the fact that you were wearing your favourite Ben Sherman and that you were actually a hormone crazy [...]
Altern-8 are another production duo that we could fill up a year's worth of classics posts about, today however we're focusing on "Shame", the piano rave monster featuring Evelyn "Champagne" King from 1992. Wasting no time, the track intros with the huge piano line and vocal hook before heading into rave territory with a huge synth hook and a 303 line to die for. An absolute classic and when the track breaks down for the second time it's sure to send a shiver up even the coldest of spines. [...]
SLACKK is one of the new wave of DJ-producers influenced by the Acid House and breakbeat Hardcore sound. Now signed to Numbers, Slackk has found himself labelmates with the likes of Jamie xx, Jackmaster, Deadboy, Hudson Mohawke and Lory D and judging by the reaction to his first release 'Theme From Slackk', he's going to be just as big very soon. We've seen first hand what Slackk can do to a dancefloor when he played at our warm-up party in July, so we know any he plays is guaranteed to leave you gasping for more, which is great because he's [...]
Put on those headphones, turn down the lights, open up the Vicks, and let the spirit of 1994 flow right through you. Like a long-lost session track from the Music for the Jilted Generation sessions.
