Gotta get this out of the way. I don't usually post up commercial mainstream stuff, but this track is too huge. In my eyes, mainstream hiphop n rnb have been messing about with dubby sounds for a while, but only until recently has it actually been working. Jay z & Kanye's project, B.o.B's new stuff and this.

Labrinth, the guy who makes Tinie Tempah sound good.

There, i said it.

Love this track. So thought i'd share.

If theres anyone with sweeter vocals than Lykke Li, they can only be angels, and should be worshipped as such.

Again, one of the sounds of the summer, skipped past without posting up, til now.

SBTRKT - Pharoahs

Gotta stop depressing myself by posting up tracks of the summer, which is well n truly out. There's usually an explosion of good new stuff come october, as everyone finally stops touring and gets back in the studio to finish that loop theyve been messing with over the summer.... keep posted.

Q.

HOUSE ME, AGAIN.

Another bit of deep houseyness for yous. Its been floating around all summer, played to death in ibiza and the festivals, but again not posted for some reason or another. Sits perfect in any house set, another track of the (my) summer.

Julio Bashmore - Battle For Middle You


Q.

HOUSE ME

Think im gonna end up posting up a few bad ass house tracks that have been floating around most of the summer, but that ive never got round to before.

This, was really annoying to get hold of. Found it eventually, not the greatest quality and i will be grabbing a 320 the next time i can/remember. However, its still good.

Don't be put off by these 8-9 minute housey numbers, go with em and be rewarded. Theyve been making crowds go nuts over the summer. memorieeeeesss....

Eleven Eleven - Tourist Trap (Jamie Jones remix)

I follow rivers

This is delayed due to the tragic death of Mehdi. Bestival memories are tinged with that sadness now. Still in shock at how random life can be.

But there were highs last weekend, so we must continue.

There was a couple of big tunes this year that, pretty much, got played in every house set going. Joe Goddards 'Gabriel' was one but this monster stood out the most.

I kinda missed it first time round. I mean, ive had the track, listened to it a few times, but never really properly. The genius of it really stands out when its played in a good house set, which the likes of Andy n Jaymo and Tensnake (and countless others) did.

Dangerously addictive.

Lykke Li - I follow rivers (The Magician Remix)

Q.

R. I. P DJ Mehdi

A great Dj has died at the age of just 34.

I didnt know him personally or ever meet him. I'll respectfully leave the heart felt messages of sadness, to all of his friends and family that knew him well and will miss him so.

How i did know him though, was through his music. I urge anyone who may read this who is unfamiliar, to listen to as much of his stuff as possible and realise what a loss this truly is. He was an integral part of the Ed Banger label's sound and direction. Crossing and creating genres until this very day, under the 'Carte Blanche' super team, alongside Henry Riton.

Probably his most well known track, this single video comes nowhere close to summing up his library of genre blending music.



He will be missed by all.

Been listening to this. A lot.

Big room, big tune.

Dada Life - Happy Violence



Q.



Only just caught on to this and really not sure what to make of it.

Its far too happy for my liking.............. catchy tho.

The Magician

Oh dear. Looks like far too many have beaten me to this already. Oh well. I try.

Much hyped over the last few months 'The Magician' releases his first single proper Ft. Jeppe.

Personally, im not overly impressed. Its a good track, i mean, its disco house with a solid piano riff throughout, so, i'm gonna like it whatever. Love the vocals too, probably more cuz they remind me of Classixx - I'll get you, which i played endlessly. This aint in that league by a long shot, but its addictive. Kinda like a very good Penguin Prison remix. Its good, but it just feels like it should be better.

Anyway. More please.
