New Mix - 4x4 Summer Lovelyness

Pipedown Artist Feature
Got an extra special artist feature for you this week - One I've been eagerly awaiting ever since the Pipedown lads promised to send some stuff over. Between the four lads who run the blog, they seem to do pretty much everything - photography, production, DJing, a TV channel, video production, writing, and all of that at a really high level. Their sets blend hip hop, funky, dubstep, grime and a bit of house with no trouble at all, and have introduced me to some really great 100bpm stuff as well

Today we've got a couple of exclusive new blends for you, exclusive to Squeaky Bleeps, as well as a few productions that I've been absolutely rinsing, and a new mix by cntrst called Muffout Barnetto (I've no idea why it's called that but apparently Sduk thought it up...)Excite Twice - Low (Demo)

However, you do need to buy either the CD or 2x Vinyl version of the Major Lazer album to get the t-shirt... damn you Diplo... ;)!

SUPRA1 Artist Feature

S1: Last september T&B held a remix contest for one of Little Jinder's songs titled "Polyhedron". Anyone on the internet could take their best shot at it and so did we. That's how the Polyhedron remix came about and the T&B guys liked enough to make it a winning track (along with 2 or 3 other remixes). After that they asked us to do another remix for Blackfinger which turned out nice as well, and we've been working with Luca & Patrick of T&B ever since. Really happy about it!
SB: I hear a lot of varied stuff in your mixes - techno, funky, dubstep, wonky, house. Of the productions you've done so far, you've definitely touched on some of these genres - can we expect more techno/funky style tunes from you in the future?
S1: We don't plan exactly where we want to go in our production - we're mostly just doing what we feel at the moment. Same with our mixes and DJ sets - we like to mix and match, drop some funky, drop a little techno or play the whole set at 140 bpm.
We're surely not gonna go straight techno or straight funky in our production but try to take influences from these or other genres instead to come up with whatever tickles our fancy at the moment.
SB: That Rookies track on your myspace, is that a hint that we can expect some original material from you guys in the near future? Is it going to be on T&B aswell?
S1: Yes original material is definitely coming, that's what we're working on right now. It will be released as an EP on T&B (tentatively sometime after the summer ). Don't think the rookies track will be on it though as it was more of a "good-bye" to a sound that we really liked (and still like) but felt was already explored enough too. Have to try doing things a bit differently.
SB: I know you guys ran a clubnight called POW! in Poland, and some of the lineups and videos I saw of the night looked amazing, wish I lived a bit nearer! How did you get involved in POW!, is it still going on? That Crazy Cousinz video especially looked fucking heaavy.
S1: Yeah we started running POW! just a few months ago as felt like we lacked a regular , monthly event that would appeal to those digging a little deeper than the mainstream. And you're right about Crazy Cousinz, it was one of the sickest nights we've ever had, no doubt. Flukes and Play are amazing producers and DJwise they really know where to go in their sets, they can read the crowd so well.
SB: I think you've got to be the only polish producers/DJs I know of, are there any other Polish DJs/Producers doing it for you that we should keep an eye out for?
S1:Yeah people like Jacek Sienkiewicz or Marcin Czubala are simply mindblowing, you should definitetly check them out. Our mate Zeppy Zep is the one to keep an eye on too. Partywise Sorry, Ghettoblaster run probably the most succesful night around, if ever in Warsaw you should definitely check it out.
SB: Who are your top 5 producers for 2009 and what are your top 5 tracks at the moment?
S1: 5 producers for 2009 ... think Dexplicit might be quite a surprise. UK House people like Karizma or Geeneus. Starkey's working on an album. Plus Drop The Lime obviously - watch his LP hitting shelves soon, it's gonna be a huge release !
5 tracks would be Sarantis feat. Warrior Queen - More Than Money ( Starkey Remix ), Crazy Cousinz - Inflation, Sticky - Jumeirah Riddim, Julio Bashmore - Around and Geeneus - Saturday.
SB: You've played with some amazing people in the past year or so, acts like Artful Dodger, Dexplicit, Crazy Cousinz, Joker, Bok Bok & L-vis 1990 and s
S1: It's really hard to say as each and every was a little different. Artful Dodger were so much fun. Dexplicit was live... Played with him twice, both shows were really raw and crazy. Crazy Cousinz, oh my days. Just youtube it. Joker is in two weeks time ! Looking fwd to it. Bok Bok & L-Vis were really solid and tight. Sinden was quite special. It was in Budapest, last year in one of the sickest venues we've played in. His set was massive too.
SB: What're your biggest musical influences, both dance music and non dance music?
S1: People like El-B or Dr Dre, Early Roots, A tribe Called Quest, The Beatles, Miles Davis, Tomasz Stanko, Bugge Wesseltoft and the whole jazzland recordings crew, but also all the swedish electro pop easy listening stuff ...

In the new releases field this week, got a couple of special things for you - a lot of you may have already copped the new Don Diablo feat Example single from Palms Out. Although the mixes (A1 Bassline, Doorly and a few others) were definitely doing it for me, I finally got the promo today and realised that actually Palms Out hadn't posted the entire package and there were two treats in there - the Spor mix bringing some proper heavy DNB action as well as a mashup with Aerodynamic that absolutely KILLS it. You'll find them both below, now I've just got to choose which one to play out this weekend.
Don Diablo feat Example - Hooligans (Spor Remix)

Sunday Morning Hangover 5

If it feels like mine... then god bless you... you were smart and you were able to resist the urge to go out and party like a swine, and consume copius amounts of whatever it is that you consume, to assume 'the mode' in order to make it easy for you to 'party'. Alternatively if you ignored the advice of every health expert in the world, and did what I did on thursday night after handing in my last piece of University work for the year and decided it was a good idea to mix beer, cider, red and white wine, tequila and vodka, then also... GOD BLESS YOU!
I wrote this at around 6:30am after staying up all night to begin watching the 6th season of The West Wing that I put off for 9 months after the most ridiculous year of academic study I've ever had began in earnest. I'm just so glad that it's finally over and I can sit back and do something unconstructive (this word doesn't actually exist, but I was struggling to come up with something more 'appropriate' for the situation) without worrying if it's going to effect the size of my weekly collection money from the bank, after reaching the ripe young age of 75.
I decided to post some rather interesting tunes to let you lay back and listen to... some of it isn't even dance music, but I'm really in that strange kind of mood you get after staying up all night... the one where you don't give a fuck and just want to go to sleep, but also the one where you realise there are things to be done... even if it is something you usually enjoy doing.
Anyway, on with the purpose of this post, which of course be the purpose of this entire enterprise... music.
Enya - Orinoco Flow
This song featured on the Irish singer and composer's second album Watermark, which was released in 1988 and reached #5 in the UK. The album went onto sell over 11million copies and amongst other things is my mother's favourite album that she has a tendency to play every Christmas morning. There's also quite a sick mash-up with The Prodigy floating around on the internet as well if you give it a quick search.

The Best New Radio Show In The World!
If anyone is up for a Wednesday afternoon rave, then look no further than Pointblank FM, and their new DJ, who calls himself Kane.
He's on the decks from 3pm-6pm on Wednesdays, mashing up everything from 2 Bit Thugs to Jack Beats and AC Slater to Proxy.
He's also not a bad DJ either... some of the mixes I heard on his first show were simply stunning! I urge you to check out next week's show!
The show can be streamed via iTunes, windows media player, real player or WinAMP, and I'm sure the media player file would work perfectly well on VLC player for all you windows haters out there.
Here's a little bit about the shows history
Formed in 1994, Point Blank FM is the UK's longest serving house and dance music radio station whose main aim was to supply people with quality House music that no other radio stations, whether legal or pirate, were providing on the radio spectrum.
Soon it became clear, from the massive response from its listeners of all ages, that Point Blank was doing the right thing.
As the station has grown in stature and has progressed over the last decade, it has remained a predominately House music station. But now Point Blank Fm has gradually introduced a wider selection of quality music, including deep, soulful, funky, hard, progressive and tech house, electro and breaks, along with a blend of old school, funk, acid jazz and classics; thereby catering for all musical tastes.
Point Blank has always, and will always, continue to supply the listeners with the music that they want to hear, mixed by some very talented and committed DJs who put the competition to shame.
Point Blank FM has had some huge names in the business over the years (some going under an alias for legal reasons), which has further added to the already established name of Point Blank FM.
The station has continued to go from strength to strength over time, always striving to supply quality music in the most professional manner that apparently has made certain legal broadcasters envious!.
"We aim to continue giving you the station that you want to hear! Point Blank FM, the big station for the big listener!!!".
Here's just a few of the tunes I heard during his first show:
Kissy Sell Out (Jack Beats Remix)
Switch - This is Sick
AC Slater Feat. Lismore - Up Against The Wall
Proxy - Raven (Crookers Remix)
CJ Bolland - Sugar is Sweeter (Twocker Remix)
Crookers - Magic Bus
Jack Beats - What (Boy 8 Bit Remix)
His Majesty Andre - Peep Thong
Futureheads - Worry About It Later (Switch Remix)
TC - Where's My Money (Caspa Remix: Jack Beats Edit)
He also has a blog running, check it out!

New Brick Bandits MaterialNew material from the Brick Bandits crew has emerged this week on the Mad Decent blog - comprised of some of the biggest names in bmore (DJ Lokey, Mike V, Rob Threezy, DJ Sega, DJ Tameil, DJ Tim Dolla), their last EP was on Mad Decent and it was BIG. Number Advisory, Robot Club Rock and The Chase had to be the stand out tracks for me. The new material sounds just as big as the older stuff, some classic bmore action creating proper heat on the dancefloor.

Bangers & Mash Week 4

For Bangers & Mash this week I thought I'd put together a post to celebrate the release of the new Martyn LP Great Lengths. Martyn has been one of my favourite producers in that kind of dubstep/techno/impossible to define genre for a while now, and I think this quote pretty much sums up his production style: "Although it might sound a tad arrogant, I'd like to think of my music as 'Martyn music.' I try not to think of it as dubstep or techno, or house or drum & bass—it's not about genres, it's about music. This way I feel more freedom to make the music I want to make."

Sunday Morning Hangover 4
Sunday Morning Hangover 4 - Mix Special
Dust Galaxy - Come Hear The Trumpets (Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve Reanimation)
This was one of the few BTWS Reanimations that were new to me when i finally got round to buying the Reanimations Vol. 1 CD last week, and it's such a shame that I'd never heard it before - it's now one of my favorite reanimations. If you like this make sure you support BTWS and buy the CD.
Moderat - A New Error
This track is off the new Moderat album (Moderat are the supergroup comprised of Apparat and Modeselektor), and is one of my favourite tracks off the album.
Hey You Guys - Circlesquare
There Is A Light - Helen And the Others
This is the side project of Kate from Shimura Curves, and with two other girls (one of them is called Helen, hence the name) they do amazing disco style covers of songs that everyone knows. On their myspace they've got covers of Golden Skans (Klaxons), Ghosts (Laura Marling) and Take Me Out (Franz Ferdinand). Ghosts was definitely my favourite at first, but then Kate sent me over this Smiths cover, and it hasn't left my ears since. It definitely beats that Schneider TM Light 3000 cover, but it still has that nice bleepy thing going for it that the Schneider TM version did. The harmonies on the chorus get me every single time aswell.
Bombay Bicycle Club - Always Like This (James Rutledge Remix)
I've featured some stuff from Bombay Bicycle Club (well the lead singer, Jack Steadman) on here before (Let The Good Times Roll Remix?), and it's great to finally get some good remixes of the band that fit nicely into my sets. The Always Like This single also has Tim Goldsworthy (DFA) on the remix, but to my suprise the Rutledge mix is my favourite - a lovely slice of warm disco.
Ada - Maps (Michael Mayer & Tobias Thomas Mix)
Out of the many thousands of Maps covers and remixes, this has got to be my favourite. Which is kind of all I have to say about it... But that's saying so much I don't think i need to say anymore.
Filthy Dukes -This Rhythm (Emperor Machine Remix)
One of my CD decks started skipping a bit around this point... apologies for that.
Suckers - It Gets Your Body Movin'
Neu! - Fur Immer
I may be castrated by the entirety of the blogosphere for this but I sometimes prefer Neu! to Kraftwerk... And I think I'd even go so far as to say that they were more important in the formation of Krautrock than Kraftwerk... *ducks*. This 11 minute epic never stops driving foward, with Dinger's 4x4 drumming still sounding fresh today, and those multi layered guitar lines.
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
