Some big news ahead this week in the blogosphere... Ben has returned to the UK! He's currently sorting his life (email inbox) out, but shall be writing posts here again very soon! Also Noiseporn finally completed their mammoth journey to Mongolia raising money for charity.

From their tweeting homeland: "arrived in Mongolia after 47 days on the road raising money for @savethechildren and listening to @mixtapemarathon. it's been mad!!!!!!!!!!!"

A very very very big congratulations to them!

On with the tunage...

Bonde Do Role - Sarita

I thought with it being Carnival this Notting Hill bank holiday weekend, and with there being a very special shank-up with Major Lazer in town this afternoon... some Samba was much needed

I've been a fan of Bonde Do Role ever since I bought a mad stash of promo's off ebay a few years back, in which Gasolina. Many happy times ensued. This is their first crack at the South American instiution in music. Many Kudos Kudos Kudos to them. It has brightened up my Sunday morning recovering from Eastern Electrics, which way the way was banging!

Jack Beats - U.F.O (Skullduggery Bootleg)

After a hugely impressive jackin' remix of Pon De Floor comes this slice of booty bass action from Sheffield based Skullduggery, who can do no wrong in my eyes. Opting to not tackle the mammoth task of altering the K-Hole Bass Riddim (and rightly so, leave that mother well alone), Skullduggery have decided on playing with the signature ravey theme sequence, which I heard yesterday all the way from Creamfields... even though I was actually in the kitchen as Pizza Hut in Dartford... got to love your mates ey, they know when to make you feel great! Anyway, download this immediately, purely makes you smile from ear to ear :)!

Hostage - Hangin'

Little bit of funky disco here from our main man Alan Hostage, who is simply of fire at the moment, I envy his work ethic tremendously. Seems like there's a new track or remix weekly from the Scot.

Keeping things rather fresh a well with a tasty ravey breakdown and juicy lead synths off the back of a class funky beat. There's a whole host a new material from the man at the moment so I really urge you to check out his MySpace.

Fever Ray - Seven (Crookers Remix)

Clearly one of the tunes of the moment right now... Crookers here on the remix and a weird combination. The signature 2009 ravey electro sound, but on top of a generic housey beat, which kind of makes it sound really flat until the drop. Big ups to Electric Zoo for the upload.

Big tune... play it... learn to like it... play it... love it... play it some more... get sweaty for it!

The Raged - Home Experiment [SqueakyBleeps Hot New Tune]

An absolute techno monster here from The Raged, who I introduced you to last week with his superb remix of The Arctic Monkeys.

With support from Richie Hawtin and Joe & Will Ask? I could really see this track should going places if it's picked up by the right people. I thinking Hannah Holland, Meat Katie and Evil Nine would love this kind of track. Shit is banging, and I don't often say this about techno, but hear and feel that bass! I'm playing with DeepGroove in October so I'll definitely be introducing this tune to them... hats off to you dude! Home Experiment... more like Military Secret.

Rise and shine... another day, another week, a new start?

I can safely say I've had an awesome weekend, having played my first London gig and seen my favourite DJs live for the first time... my mood can kind of be summed up if I was to type holy sheet five billion times, but I will leave that analysis of expression up to you. To the tunage!!!

Arctic Monkeys - Dangerous Animals (The Raged Remix)

So finally, after over a two year wait for some new material we've finally had the third coming of the Northern Primates let onto us. This is a great glitchy housey/techy remix from a member of the Erol forum massive who has been gracious enough to urge everyone to blog about it. Seeing as this is a very good day for British music, I thought this tune was very necessary!

Hope you like it!

Major Lazer - Pon De Floor (Skulldugger Herf Remix)

A really clever re-work here from the sheffield based lads, which they sent over to me yesterday. Hints of HiJack and Will Bailey for me, but keeping things have been kept fun and not too overbearing. It's a slight edit of the original remix, which sounds exactly the same until the middle when all hell breaks loose into downright jackin' lunacy. I love tracks like this, they don't take the music too seriously and aim to smash the fuck out of any dancefloor at the same time. I banged this out up London last week to devastating effect!

The Cheerz - R U Ready

Now this track first came to my attention via Mr. K Sellout a few weeks back on his Rhaaadio 1 show, and upon enquiring about the tune from The Cheerz I was told it will be getting a full release as part of their new EP The Birth. It's soon to drop on .... and I'll give you a heads up when its released so you can a cheeky 320 sometime soon! Feel that bassline though... it kind of reminds me of the last time I ate a chilli pepper, my mouth was on fire and I managed to tip a 2 litre bottle of coke down myself while insanely fucked one night back at a mates house last year. If its good enough for Kissy, its definitely good enough for me!

Benjamin Leung & Dom - Sub Zero (Nathan C Remix)

Yet another fine remix from a UK Techno producer literally blowing up at the moment. You might remember I let onto you his exclusive remix of his own take on the classic tune The Trouble With Me by Black Legend. This one is a more stripped down affair, but nevertheless a good listen and solid remix.

Highbloo - 50cl [SqueakyBleeps Hot New Tune]

Finally... saving the best for last here with up and coming producer Highbloo. I came across this dude's myspace yesterday, and via a marvelous stroke of luck (at the same time) he ended up getting in touch with me and lacing a 320 of his killer tune 50cl over to my person.

Much respect to this 19 year old producer from Belgium, after only a year of producing tunes, he's managed to come up with this banger. It really captures the whole essence of the electro scene change this year from a jackin' sound to a more ravey techno based sound. Think Renaissance Man, Riva Starr, Jesse Rose, Mowgli and Boy 8-Bit's new Baltic Pine EP. Any record producers out there check out his MySpace and SIGN UP our man... killa tunes!
