Tune Tuesday

Hope you enjoyed the mixes yesterday... got some great gems for you today!


Kicking things off with a new track from US producer Kingdom, whose Mindreader 12" was one of the finest releases of last year - 'You' came as close to trance as good music should, and the Todd Edwards remix was (as expected) ridiculously good. New bit Pathfinder comes from Rob Wonder's No Static At All Compilation, created for Scion Radio. Kingdom's offering is definitely the pick of the EP, although it's worth checking out the whole thing certainly.


Bit late on this one, but good music shouldn't be time-stamped. Township Funk was remixed about a million times in between its original release and subsequent releases and remix packages, but the Crazy P one somehow slipped me by at the time. The finest of the bunch, Crazy P drops things down in tempo and slides a sleazy bassline under that all too recognizable hook, though the hook twists and changes throughout - a nice balearic workout.


Brackles remix of Crystal Fighters is an undoubtedly large tune - searing synth lines, that classic vocal refrain and cracking drums, it's easy to see why Oneman chose this tune to end his Rinse CD, and Mishka NYC's DJ P.O.L.STYLE ups the ante by throwing the vocal from DJ Pied Piper's guilty UKG pleasure Do You Really Like It over Brackles production. A snug fit!


EL-B and Noodles' legendary Groove Chronicles collaboration showcased a more soulful side to the dark garage that El-B became famous for - way back in '98 they created this euphoric slice of 2-step that melded female vocals, warm sub bass and nuff sax samples, and it's still warming dancefloors today. A stone cold killer...


Last but not least, Hessle Audio's ever enigmatic Joe's latest offering Claptrap takes a ghetto leaning via Sound Pellegrino's DJ Orgasmic. The percussion heavy clap track fits perfectly with this Ludacris acapella, showing all the US producers how hip hop really should sound: dark, frantic and full of 909 action!

Mix Monday

New week, new Mix Monday. Missed this last week so some of these mixes are a week old or so, but no reason not to get on them! As high quality as ever!


First up... we have Oneman and his latest podcast for Rinse FM... and with special guest Jackmaster also in the building, it turned into quite the early morning rave up... love it when you can hear everyone vibin' up in the background... Rinse fam.
Clearly I can't be trying to figure out a 2 hour long tracklisting for this one, but trust me... big show!
Also make sure you grab Oneman's top Rinse CD from all the best stores around... we recommend Uptown Records.



Next up we have an equally talented DJ... by the name of Dowee, whose productions you need to be keeping an eye on for the second half of 2010... a big prospect for the 2011 scene. By day he's an A&R man for the london based label Lost Souls, and by night he runs the excellent Bedtime Bunnage blog. This mix was put together for the excellent Chelmsford night Oscillate Wildly, who relaunch on the 12th June with UK funky don Roska and all round top producer/DJ James Blake - click attending on facebook here, and get the first Oscillate Wildly podcast in your ears:

Next up is not strictly a mix, but the latest Mary Anne Hobbs show is packed full of tunes, as well as 3 excellent guest mixes. As always, MAH brings the exclusive tuneage in a big way, with a new project from Pipedown's Matt Flynn (aka Sduk), new Cooly G, Hudson Mohawke, Altered Natives and Mount Kimbie. Mix wise, Pariah presents a mix largely composed of tune's off his upcoming 2x12" for legendary R&S imprint (Crossed Out is especially worth a look), Hessle Audio's Joe and the bafflingly named West Norwood Cassette Club provide the other guest mixes. No mp3 link here, but support underground music on the BBC by listening again on Iplayer, the more Iplayer plays shows like MAH's get the more likely they are to continue. Head over to the BBC page here to listen.

Edit: just seen that this is set to expire in two days so later on in the week I will be uploading the Pariah guest mix as a standalone mp3 for your listening pleasure.
