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;


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;


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;


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;


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.

Hello fuckers!!!!!


Hiya I'm Joss's equally ugly friend Gus and thought I'd throw some posts his way on this relatively blog. I've known Joss since we tore up the nurseries together back in the days of acid house and shizer porn. We're now students living the high life of pot noodles and man sized tissues.

Him and me do have similar tastes of music although not universally. My posts will reflect my love of everything that gets you sweaty; Drum & Bass, Dubstep, Tech-House, Grime, Hip-hop and porn, with some random bits n' bobs.



So to start off I though I'd do a post on Nero. Nero are two very well known DJ's from London. As with many Dubstep producers their roots are in Drum and Bass. I will focus on their Dubstep productions because they are truly energetic & fun.

The first of which is their own remix of their Drum & Bass banger 'Act like you Know'. I liked the original but I had a certain bit of it lacking. It was a bit standard and typical of lots of D n' B tracks. The dubstep version though gives it a lot more bounce. The first drop is pretty good but it's the drop into the bassliney keys at 2:45 that really bring into it's own. Anyway here it is and hope you enjoy;


The second track is remix of the Bassline outfit Platnum. Platnum hail from Manchester and have created some of Bassline's biggest tunes. But Nero's rework makes it an even more jump up fun little number. It's actually a Drum & Bass remix but well, if you don't like it then fuck you! Here it is;


And for the last tune I thought I'd go with one of his oldest but greatest remixes. It's an absolute killer of a remix and makes you want to move your head back and forth so vigorously that you head but the person in front of you;


Oh also if you do like Nero maybe try and buy the tracks. More importantly play these loud on HUUUGGE speakers because they deserve it!!!
