Symphonies...

I really like the way Hot City uses rave stabs, it gives his tracks proper old school vibes. In this particular remix he cuts up the vocals from the original leaving hardly any left, which is a very good thing, and lays down trademark skipping beat and stabs...

Dan Black - Symphonies (Hot City Remix)

Man of the moment James Blake has done this remix of Mount Kimbie. Blake's new ep CMYK is out now and if you haven't heard it or got a copy I strongly recommend you do. The guy is supremely talented and leading the way in the future sounds of dubstep....

Mount Kimbie - Maybes (James Blake Remix)

Another Mount Kimbie remix for you. Falty DL, producer of one of the finest albums of 2009, hits up the garage vibes on this one. A dark and seedy little number...

The Darling of the East


When you think of the Middle East, clubbing and electronic music doesn't instantly spring to mind. Darling Farah is changing that, he's already been hyped up in the blogosphere, but rightly so. His productions vary from being heavy electro style to more minimal housey format.

James Blake (whose track Air and Lack Thereof features in the 09 top 25) is killing it too, although there productions vary in style and genre. His haunting track Sparing the Horses has been given a working over from Darling Farah, who isn't even old enough to get into a club yet, let alone DJ in one. He gives it a more ravey feel, adding in more filter and buildups, it certainly adds more club appeal to the track.....

James Blake - Sparing the Horses (Darling Farah Underage Rave Mix)

Both are young, very talented and highly original in their production ideas. Keep at least one eye peeled....

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
