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!

The Bleeps Week #1

Morning all... Another day, another post... and it's now officially THE WEEKEND!

Following on from last week's first Squeaks post... here's the first Bleeps post, aimed it focusing on five tunes that would typically be heard @ Fabric on a Friday night... down and dirty Electro, Breaks, Dubstep, DnB, and everything in between. Let's get to it!

Kissy Sell Out - This Kiss (Jack Beat Remix)

This has been invading blogs over the past few weeks like a blood thirsty army on a crusade!

Just listen to that bassline... Jack Beats have done it again... I was never sure about the original... the breakdown just wasn't fitting for the drop, but this is booming insane, can't get enough of it!!! Be sure to catch them over the next month, they're playing @ Always Fridays @ The Egg tonight, and Matter on the 24th with Armand Van Helden, as well as a string of other dates over May and June in the UK.

deadmau5 vs. Jelo - The Reward is Floating (Markus Lange Mash-Up)

Ok, ok, so this is old... but I needed to break it out of the 2008 closet and set it on fire once again... nothing gets me in the mood for a night out more than to hear those those bleeping leads and pulsating wobbly bassline. The purest tech-house banger out there, mashed up and given a whole new leash of life... if any of you (shame on you) have never heard this version before, then get right on it!

Dizzee Rascal - Stand Up Tall (Tom EQ Remix)

Here's a new one from the guys over at Noiseporn, possibly the best blog on the net!

I've only listened to this a few times since it was posted, but one thing that had an immediate impression on me was the kick drums, they are tonk! I could see this being played at an electro/breaksy night as well as at end of a Sci/Techy night. It reminds me of Shake It Down, just without that ridiculous synth. Honestly, this remix is the shit! Roll forward the techno revolution!

Myagi - Monolith (Acid Funk Remix)

I've always had a bit of a thing for Myagi, and when his remix of TCM's High Roller was included in their 10th anniversary release of their debut album 'Vegas', I was officially in love with his sound. He's somewhere in between Dylan Rhymes, Elite Force, Plump DJs and Orbital all at the same time. Poising his breaks sound on techy beats and beautifully layered synths, and his basslines never fail to impress! This tune is no exception. Although the break is a simple one... its all about the synths on this one... especially the one you hear within the first 5 seconds.... tasty tasty!!!!!

Rusko - Cockney Thug (DJ Prime Cuts Remix)

Finally, possibly one of the most recognisable Dubstep bangers out there given a pure love or hate make-over by Prime Cuts. Personally I diggit, and the sampling of Jack Beats' What just gives it that extra sickening edge... "You fackin' prat!"... ahhhhh this is getting so abused when I next play!
