Easy

Quick and easy, 2 mixes to sink your teeth into. 1st up is YourDigitalFriend. Easily one of the best mixes I've heard this year and that's no understatement. Atmospheric, hard and rhythmic as hell. How techno should be! Just press download (down arrow on the right)

Next up is dubstep and grime DJ Stark. The mix is full of interesting, distorted and (crazy) sounds. Loud

STARK - BIRTH ! (studio mix) 01.05.10 by STARK

2 tracks from Overscore, with plenty of late night ambience and emotion floating about in them. The bass is low so ya might want to turn on your sub. First up we have some mellowed-out old school hip hopstrumental flavour in Antique Memories. Moon Zoot does exactly what it says on the tin - future garage goes to space.

Ideal soundtrack to your cigarette (or anything else you might like to smoke)

Guido's debut album is out on Punch Drunk - in a word, it's wicked

Classic tunes like Orchestral Lab and Cat in the Window work really well with the rest of the material. But stand out for me has to be this piece of sleazy sax work over spaceage synths and a grimey subbass.



Download: Guido - Mad Sax

Cop his album Anidea here at Boomkat

The sun is shining. Jeuce apparently knew this was gonna happen cause they've just (I'm talking 53 mins ago) sent us this hot potato.

Summer sunset vibes with this one.

First tune of the week of the year. This is a dubstep bomb released on the album The Best Of Stupid Fly Records Volume 1 which is amazing and can be purchased here.

Party people! The mother of diary dates is here, new years eve. Sure there's a ton of stuff happening in London; Ministry of Sound at the O2, Innovation at Fire, Get Loaded in the Dark at Brixton Academy to name a few. However, true mess head recommends this banger - two of London's trendiest promoters in force for a colossal shoreditch raveup. Funktion 1 sound throughout the Basement Club, and with 9 hours of solid noise, it's set to be huge.

Brodinski has had a massive year. Being asked to mix Bugged Out's latest Suck My Deck compilation, collabs with fellow Frenchman Noob, and the huge Eurostar with Mumdance have all helped establish him in the major league.

DJ Mehdi - Pocket Piano (Brodinski Remix) (320) - Brings the sublime piano loop to a driving techno powerhouse
Noob & Brodinski - Peanuts Club (Jake Simon Remix) (320) - Fidget squeaks and electro stabs. Huge.

Boy 8-Bit is firing now as well. Riding with the Mad Decent crew and reworking the likes of La Roux and Florence and the Machine have made him a name known. His Baltic Pine EP (buy it!) has smashed the beatport charts, and the track itself is sure to be dropped. This guy's style is undefinable!

Jack Beats ft. MC Dynamite - What (Boy 8-Bit Remix) (320) This is a true mess head favourite. That bouncing b-line....
Boy 8-Bit - A City Under Seige (320) - Underrated and epic.

Hannah Holland (apparently I was later told....) gave a massive set at Exit and is sure to repeat. Though not a prolific producer, she's been playing for over 8 years and regularly spins 5 hour sets.

V.V. Brown - Crying Blood (Hannah Holland Remix) (128) - Much blogged. When the bass gets its groove on you'll see why...

Mumdance is HUGE first off. Remixing Maximo Park in his emerging 'kerplunk' genre, his sound is wild. Fusing carnival sounds with bouncing drums and big bad bass, and running around dubstep, house and fidget without being tied down, expect anything. The Mad Decent Diplo-esque sound shines through tho.

The Whip - Divebomb (Mumdance Remix) (320) - takes the original glitches and whirrs to a kudoro festival. With whistles. And steel drums.

True Mess Head will see you at the front.

YO!

fresh off the decks, here's the first mix from true mess head. true to style, theres some fidget, some electro, some dubstep and a whole lotta BASS.

enjoy - you can download throu soundcloud. comments appreciated!
True Mess Head Mix 1 by Trouble and Squeak

I dont really know all that much about George Lenton. He uses a mac, he used to be into drum and bass, scratching, dmc battles, and bands, but now makes sample infused dubstep rockers. He makes his own tunes and is also big in the remixes having reworked the likes of Daft Punk and MGMT. Badman.

And you can grab his latest here!
Erik Hassle is swedens current equivalent of Frankmusik but he's put together a pretty huge remix lineup for his latest, hurtful. Mr. Lenton has worked his magic on it and produced a gem!

Lastly, everyone ever should watch the video for troll, here. Partly because of the gorilla, partly because of the sick Network sample, and partly because it will fcking destroy your speakers.

If you're in London on december 16th, check the man himself at S.O.M.E, the new dubstep/fidget night at the Den, formerly the End.

If you haven't heard this one yet, get on the download. Goulding is set to blow UP in the wake of La Roux / Little Boots type female electropop. You'll have heard her single Under The Sheets all over radio (he's also done this, check his myspace player) but this is the remix that's gonna put her on the map.

La Roux had Skream for In For The Kill. Goulding has JAKWOB.

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Jakwob Remix)

I think Doorly / Skream etc have a lot to answer for. All this pop / dubstep crossover remixery is getting a bit weird for me...

Hit up the comments - watcha think?!!

holla

so friday night in exeter is big this week - promoters Rinseout are putting on a party for their 6th year in the dnb game. If you live here, you'll know what I'm talking about - every big line up has something to do with them. So, to celebrate, they're pulling 3 big ones out:

SUB FOCUS
ORIGINAL SIN
CRISSY CRISS

pretty funky stuff I think you'd agree.

Sub Focus is riding high at the moment with his self-titled debut making waves through the scene. His single Let The Story Begin is sitting comfortably at number 1 on the DnB Arena singles chart, and his album is basically playing like a greatest hits; everything on there is a banger.

Sub Focus - Last Jungle (320)
Sub Focus - Smooth (320)

Original Sin

Absolute filth. Get on the post Quadrozzi put up for an education here.

Crissy Criss

He's 22!! Starting with that, this guy is on fire at the moment. He presents a 3 hour show on 1extra, check it for rude drum and bass. He's built up his reputation on dnb but for rinseout he's showcasing his dubstep skills. Check some with this

Crissy Criss - Fackin Ell (320)

If this all sounds like it might be your cup o tea, check out Rinseout on Facebook.

see you on the floor

BIG

Yo!

So I finally finished the track, I'm gonna try the mix out on a cupla different systems. Mainly cause there's a ton of sub-bass on it that doesn't even come out on my monitors....!

Before that, check the video - YOUTUBE

So mp3 will be up by the weekend tops. Stay chill for it =)

Peace

I'm AK. I'm the guy who on this blog is representing the Sheffield scene. Give me a good beat and a good hook and you got me dancing . I don't have a narrow view of music so like to embrace it all.
