Weekly News

First up on the news this week, is clearly the most important and it's the title of the second artist album from the legend that be Boys Noize. In a display of everything formuliac about the german based DJ & Producer, who along with Erol Alkan has been playing out tracks from the album, let slip that the album will be simply called POWER.

A tracklisting that is likely to include the already released Starter and Jeffer - along with several others he's been playing out including Come With Me and Transmichen - has not yet been released.
A release date has not yet been confirmed but it is expected to be released sometime during the Autumn. In celebration of this fantastic news, I though it appropriate to issue you with a recent live mix of the man that'd been floating around in the last couple of week. Unfortunately, I can't find a tracklisting anywhere :/. However, enjoy!

However, I have saved the best news for last this week. It has been confirmed that this week's upcoming Radio 1 Essential Mix, previously stated as highlights from Exit Festival in Serbia, shall be a live performance from Dubfire and Richie Hawtin from July 10th. News that has made my night in this weekend due to lack of funds all the more merrier!

You can of course find a tracklisting for the mix as it becomes available from the Essential Mix site, and no doubt it'll be available from every single music blog in the known universe from Monday morning onwards.

The only thing left to say now, is I hope Adebayor enjoys his time at Man City... and I hope he enjoys he first visit back at The Emirates... traitor!

dMon Artist Feature

Hey all... got a real exclusive post here for you all on a DJ/Producer from the land of the Celts... yes Scotland. He's originally from DC, yes Washington D.C., but is now based in Fife... you'll have to ask him why he chose that move... I'm just as baffled as you. Anyway, back on topic.

dMon Aka Dan Matthews is new on the scene and is really turning heads with his fresh take on the disco/electro scene of old splashed some progressive gems, and the new heavier side of Dubstep with everything in between that I'm very quickly beginning to refer to as Crack House. His may Mixtape 'Mayceface' has been really turning some heads... the first twenty minutes alone is golden, and the mixing with Waters of Nazareth and Deadmau5's Complications is sublime! If he's not using three decks, then someone give him a platinum encrusted medal! Listening to this mix feels as if you've been taken on an entire 8 hour raving marathon journey complete with the warm-up Electro, the mid night Jackin' Rave and the come-down Dub. The mixtape is down below on soundcloud, which you can download for FREEEEEEE!!!!!

He's currently a resident DJ at a night in Fife called Bassface, which I hear is new talk of the town, so if you're near the area then I suggest you check it out!

Also get over to the dude's MySpace page, where you can catch some of his original material, which is truly quite sick if I do say so myself!

The Bleeps Week #3

This week I've got some real treats for you, and some huge bangers that have been making a lot of noise on the rave circuit of late, partly due to their disgusting sounds, but mainly because they fuck with your head!

#1: Blaqstarr & Diplo - Get Off (Jack Beats Remix) [Sample]

Yet to drop on Diplo's Mad Decent label, I heard this a few weeks ago but was a bit undecided on whether it would do justice on a louder system. I was truly proved wrong at the Bugged Out! london party at the weekend, when I heard the tune played at least twice. The only way to describe how this tune feels would be to cover your head in blood and jump into a swimming pool of baby great white sharks. It's one of those sounds that is too disgusting to be real. I bum it!

#2: Proxy - Raven (Crookers Remix)

First premiered on Radio 1 a few months ago, this is another remix that I was undecided on until I heard it on a big system, the first being the same night as the Jack Beats remix above. Its a return to the Crookers I fell in love with in their remixes of The Whip's Trash and Chemical Brothers' Salmon Dance. Purely good bouncing dancefloor fun, which has surely to send the duo to new heights!

#3: Gel Abril - Spells of Yoruba (Tactic Edit)

Not an entirely new tune, its been around for a few months, but its the power of it when placed with the right tunes that can transform that good set into something special. This edit's more techy synths add to the already minimal feel, which take you on a real sensual Journey.

#4: Don Diablo & Example - Hooligans (Noisia Remix)

I may have just pinched this from the Noiseporn dudes, but I really could not resist. It's not typical Noisia as this is a bit more Housey than their previous DnB and Dubstep work, but it's really caught my eye as something oddly melodic, including samples from Justice's D.A.N.C.E.; I can't really say anything more than, what a banger!

#5: Boys Noize - Starter [128 bit]

Finally after months of waiting we are finally being treated to new Boys Noize material, which has been premiered in his DJ sets over the past couple of months. Starter is due to be released on his label on June 22nd with Jeffer on the B-Side, and the new album is aparently due to follow at the end of the year. I tell you, this tune is fucking unreal! It makes Justice and Daft Punk look like their still in kindergarden.
