Songs for mid-october blues

Nothing really goes on mid-october so though I'd give you some tunes to mull over for a while. Oh also if any of you fools are in the toon head over to Zap at digital this friday to see my homeboy Dandy DJ.

dJ Fresh has released a new tune called 'Hypercaine' which, personally, I feel is quite average. Thankfully Nero lends a helping hand to bring it to a higher standard. It's a builder which heads into a dark and sinful bassline that would be welcome at Cosmic on a tuesday (without all the posers of course). Enjoy it, it is pretty awesome;

Hypercaine (Nero Dubstep Mix) - DJ Fresh

Next up is a tune mr Jay Fontaine over at the Dub blog posted by a bloke called Altimeter. It's a positive little number with a dark bassline that Makes a rainy day seem sunny. It's a bit repetitive but it's a slick little production;

Yout man - Altimeter

Next up a fun and funky tune by none over than soul legends the Brothers Johnson. The original to the tune is amazing but the this little re-dub by some Norwegian bloke called Todd Terje gives it more lift and modernity to it's 'soul'.  Anyway enjoy its funkiness;

Ain't we Funkin Now (Todd Terje Radio Miks) - Brothers Johnson

Next up an old school tune from garage royalty. You may of heard of m-beat from the Ali-g film, they did that tune 'incredible'. This tune epitomizes the 90's garage and jungle scene, Has Jamaican roots but with big beats and soul samples included. It's a real delight, simple but heavy. If you played this at a rave the roof would be torn off I reckon. Anyway here it is, listen on loud speakers;

Style - M-beat

The next two songs are too good to give away for free but have a listen and go out and get them. The first one is from the new Modelsektor Body Language Vol. 8 Album. It is actually probably my favourite tune of the past month. It's a real modern garge banger. Good lyrics, sick drops and a fantastic bassline. Please listen and then go out and buy that whole album.

Finally the next sub Focus album has arrived and it is amazing, as predicted. He has created an album of very very little flaws. The tune i'm gonna put up is by far the best. It starts so nice and happy with an uplifting piano solo and then go's into this electro tinged dubstep beat. Real good fun, be prepared to hear tis on many a night out, i hope.

Epic nights equal no work, don't worry though I've got some very heavy tunes for ya

Alright me lover's, I've been away in Manchester for a while and thus have been away from my computer. I ended up seeing some pretty amazing producers and Dj's along my way though which is very lucky for you guys. Not all these are new tune but they are all TUNES, trust me. So enough with the preamble.

I was at the Warehouse Project last saturday for the Ape 4th birthday bash with an incredible myriad of DJ's. Congo Natty was really the only person I could really remember but he was truly amazing. Freq Nasty was there as well who is one of the most unique breakbeat dj's of really my generation. So in honor of that i thought I'd give you one of his bangers, enjoy;

Viva Tibet -  Freq Nasty Vs Bassnectar (dub)

On monday I ended up seeing Deadmau5 in Newcastle. I went into the gig with allot of apprehension though. If you are a fan of Deadmau5 on Facebook you would have realized he has got the most goonish of all fans, always commenting and forever worshipping him. I've also got his new album and to be honest it's boring. It's not as good as his first and has got allot of filler. Even so he did one thing very right on the night, he ended with strobe. So here it is, a shortened edit, for your ears;

Strobe - Deadmau5

New Duplates...

Skream is back! although did he ever go? Everything this young Croydon lad does turns to gold. No wonder big players such as Diplo want to collaborate and play alongside with him, he's class. And he can play alongside anyone and stills kills it, even if it's not a Dubstep orientated night.

I've got two new remixes from him, which he's giving away to all the lucky people out there. Anyone remember a certain La Roux remix he gave away for free just under a year ago? Quite a memorable one!

Bat For Lashes - Pearls Dream (Skream's Pour Another Glass of Champers Remix)

Chromeo - Night By Night (Skream Remix)

This is a pretty new producuer called Altimeter, who normally produces more chilled out dubstep, but he's gone for some wobbly stuff here, loving the vocal samples in this one...

Altimeter - Yout Man

James Blake is another one who is set to rip up the scene. He's an interesting producer as he comes from a very musical background, he plays the piano at a ridiculous grade and has composed pieces of classical music. He's from and based in Scotland so if you in Edinburgh try and catch him. Can't put out his tunes on the blog but have a listen to this youtube clip of Air and Lack Thereof and buy his e.p. if you like it, he is on Untold's label Hemlock

I think this tune is stunning, very experimental but could fit in being played out to dancefloor



Enjoy the tracks x

Your Ears Will Be Black And Blue

Continuing a little bit with the Scandinavian theme now, got some Miike Snow remixes to post. Black and Blue is the latest of his stuff to get the attention, and this time from more than one big producer. England's very own Radio1 rascals Jaymo & Andy George give it a good working over, as does Turbo head honcho Tiga. The other remix is by newcomers Savage Skulls, I assume their pretty new anyway, don't know that much about them apart from that they are from Sweden like Miike Snow, and that Lee Mortimer has been sniffing around wanting to sign them on his label Dubsided, hardly surprising really, judging by this remix their is plenty of good stuff to come out of them...go on Lee

Miike Snow - Black and Blue (Tiga Remix)


Miike Snow - Black and Blue (Jaymo & Andy George Remix)


Miike Snow - Black and Blue (Savage Skulls Remix)

Also I have to throw these two tracks into the pot, because they are too good

Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions (Joker Remix)

This is big on a new level, Joker is killing it, he is really set for big things, with his own signature sound.

And last up, a remix from AC Slater who has done remixes in the past that I love. This one is a wobbler, no surprise there though it's got a big drop listen to it on good speakers or headphones...

Juiceboxxx - 100mph (AC Slater Remix)

found these last two over at the Hush House blog, so shouts to the hush family...

I'm back, and I got some good bootleg's

I'm sorry I've not been posting for a while but all my google accounts were mysteriously deleted. But anyway I'm back and ready to deliver some fantastic tunes. I got two bootleg's to start with. Both of tunes that you'll recognise.

So firstly is a song you'll know if you've watched Live & Let Die, the James Bond film. An absolute beauty of song made by Paul McCartney it's a true tune without having to be remixed. The remix makes it accessible to the D n' B audience and turns into a tune worth dropping at a house party. It keeps the original intro, which is what I love about it, but then goes into the epic chorus before turning into a rough and ready Drum & Bass monster. Well anyway here it is for you little terrors;

Love & Let Die (DnB bootleg) - Paul McCartney

Next up is a daft punk Bootleg of 'One More Time'. It's very hard to remix Daft Punk due to how perfect and accessible to a wide audience their tunes are. But this remix is nice. It's not perfect but It's enjoyable, also could be dropped to a pretty willing audience. Anyway here it is and just wait for the 5 min mark;

One more time (George Lenton Remix) - Daft Punk

Andycapped

Got a little something from Scandinavia for you now. I found out about this guy off the wonderful Data Sapiens blog his name is Andycap and he makes some lovely house beats. Have a look at his myspace , there is lots of good stuff on there and you can check forthcoming releases etc....

First up here's a remix he did of Steve Angello of the Swedish House Mafia, it's got big club tune written all over it.

Steve Angello - Tivoli (Andycap Remix)

Next two tracks are Andycaps own...

Andycap - Korma

Andycap - Hackett

Exciting producer, definitely one to watch

Jack Beats Magic

Florence and the Machine, she's all the rage right now. Her debut album was nominated for the Mercury Prize. She has got a great voice, and dj's and producers have definitely taken that into account. Boy 8 Bit's remix of Drumming Song is a big tune, getting plays from everyone all over the place. Time for these two lads.....



to work their wobbly magic once more, this is not their heaviest of remixes but by no means is it not their finest hour. Their sound has evolved a bit recently. This remix is not straight up in your face "fidget" house like previous remixes, but it's still brilliant, even better dare I say....

Florence and the Machine - Drumming Song (Jack Beats Remix)

Lovely stuff, if it's wobbles you love, get a copy of the UFO ep...it's a must have for "fidget" house fiends
