Tune Tuesday #5

New tunes for today... get on the download and check out the producers involved. Me and Ben will be playing at Oceana, Brighton tonight for Union... if you're in the area the come down and say Hi... details here. Anyway, to the tunes!

First up is LSMitchell and his awesome new tune Empire, which he kindly sent over today. Inspired by the productions of the likes of Hot City, Harvard Bass and I'm guessing L-Vis 1990's newer material, this new production has definitely hit a sweet spot from me.
With releases on Freek Records and RuNT already in the bag and this new production currently doing it's rounds on the blogs, 2010 looks to be a big year for this Jersey-based protege.

Next up is I Killed Kenny and their new remix of Lady GaGa... something not to be attempted with a faint heart or several pints slowly digesting through your bloodstream. But, they've given it a fair crack and in one in one afternoon at college, came up with this little gem. Pass it round, play it loud... cos in truth it's actually quite catchy.

Paparazzi has always been one of the better tracks (lyrically) off of The Fame, so I was quite pleasently surprised to hear a track of such diverse pedigree. I don't know if it was accident, but it's come out having a rather Sound Pellegrino edge, percussion wise anyway, which is never a bad thing and it's right up our street, now get on it.

Finally, last up is something a little bit more pumping from of Sweden's finest new producers Legobeat. Hailing from Stockholm with recent love from Discobelle, this production and DJ duo are making big noises in mainland europe and I foresee a big record deal for them this year. This tune kind of builds on lasts year's great explorations into more tropical and loved up techno, Douster clearly being a force of influence here. Yet there is something dark about their work, and I look forward to what comes of their sound throughout the year. This remix is for a remix competition for Ayoba! itself, I wish them all the best of luck with that quest.

Hey Hey... little late in the day for this one, but nevertheless it is still Monday... Just!
I've had an amazing weekend spent with old and new friends and getting down and dirty at Matter for the Mixmag Xmas Party... we got there a little late, but still got to see the likes of Fatboy Slim, Kissy Sellout, Jack Beats, Annie Mac, A-Trak, Cagedbaby and Jaymo & Andy George. Little bit peed off I missed Caspa as when he's with Rod Azlan, it is immense! Now to the tunes... going for a little bit of an Acid theme today, hope you like. :D

B.Rich - Make Me Dance (Squire of Gothos Remix)
I've been waiting a little while to get my hands on this remix... and bought it as soon as it was released, then Palms Out featured it in a post and gave it away for free... ah well, they deserve it! Top top remix and bass to make you squirm like a four year old playing with Brio.

M.I.A - XR2 (Ashburner Remix)
Ashburner is a fantastic new producer that I've been following on and off for the past few months after his 2-steppy remix of Too Many Men got my attention. He's currently got a lot of bookings in the pipeline and has releases for his own label For The Win records coming... big ups!

Myd - Train to Bamako (Canblaster Remix)
I've been waiting for the release of the Africa Saga EP from Radioclit featuring Myd, Douster and Lazy Flow for ages now... with it's release finally hitting the download stores recently. Not content on just supplying us with those fine tribal beats, however, Myd have got Canblaster to remix their contribution to the mini compilation, and its brilliant!


Mike Mind - Acid Machine
This has been by far one of my favourite tunes of the year, and since the man has been recently releasing his new 2-part EP Resonate on Turbo (see here for purchase details), I thought it fitting to deliver to you the tune that brough him to prominence in 2009. A masterclass in the art of layering the acid bass, this is just pure porn to my ears.


Savage Skulls and Andy Milonakis - Chickentown (Legobeat Hack Hack Remix)
A reall nice stripped down take on Savage Skulls' new collab with Andy Milonakis I was sent today that I will be definitely playing out soon... I'm thinking early on in the night mashed with some filthy bass to get everyone's feet pumping. Cheers lads, more of this please!
