I Need Air and Mad by Magnetic Man


28 Jul

This week has seen the release of a particular track that’s flown around every dance festival tent from T In The Park to Bestival. Magnetic Man who have been tagged by Pete Tong as the Dubstep Supergroup – or as I prefer the Croydon Dubstep Mafia – we’ve 3 credible and priceless Dubstep DJ’s & Producers who have made their foundations in the genre many moons ago. Each have managed to excel in their field with the release of indescribable tunes under their own name. Well, actually. I know two of them have.

After having a bit of a search I’ve noticed that Artwork himself appears to be a little scarce. I could try and hone in my efforts but I may find something that I feel isn’t relevant. What is, is the fact that he is very much in control of the situation he and the other two guys are in as well as the other two themselves. The more controlled and fatherly figure after reading a few other reports.

Benga and Skream crossed the radar a while ago with their own slightly different style of Dubstep from each other. Benga being the more hard-hitting industrial strength style whilst Skream’s take is more melodic and musically harmonious. To have these two working together with their sounds and samples being overlooked by a Dubstep producer with a mature attitude and one who is well grounded, then of course the future album will be something on the Dance music scene that will be totally, “WOW!”.

With the almighty BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix being a blindin’ set by these boys designated for global heights, I can’t wait for their release. Check out the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix here before the link gets taken down.

The untitled release has been pencilled in for October 4th 2010.

I Need Air – their delightful debut single is available now and playable below. (I’ve included the track MAD – which will also been on the future album – because I just think that it’s awesome!)

Supafrequency by Freefall Collective The Original Mix


16 Jul

For my amigos and I that ventured to the Arcadia field pretty much every night at the Glastonbury festival, to have the Freefall Collective playing 3 nights over 1 weekend. Well it’s got to be hasn’t it?!

Blinding tunes from midnight onwards we found that they were probably one of the best acts there over the duration. The pace of their work is spot on. The beat is as heavy as you like and the way they lift the crowd and get everyone going, they’re a live act not to be missed.

I love Freefall Collective.

3D Metric & Trouble In The Attic by Andrey Mute & DJ Jellyfish


16 Jul

Andrey Mute making a name for himself apart from the other one he’s already got being known as Access Denied working along side DJ Jellyfish on the latest instalments of some truly incredible tunes released on Broken Robot records.

Andrey will take over the Breakbeats scene if you don’t already believe that he has done. With his grimey basslines and fantastic ears for balance in his production work, everyone listening will appreciate the awesomeness that this man provides on any set he performs. He WILL shake you ass.

Witchcraft by Pendulum


16 Jul

With these boys pretty much living of here in the UK due to their mass popularity across the genres of Dance and Rock, there is no escape from Pendulum.

With the release of their third album Immersion likely to be heading up to atmospheric heights – and I believe it will do – this tune is a sign of the wonders yet to come. The Prodigy could possibly lose their mantle if these guys continue with the work they’re banging out.

PLUS! As an additional treat, check their Essential Mix before BBC Radio 1 close down the link. CLICK HERE!

Witchcraft is released on the 18th of July.

Ella Montclare


11 Jul

Ella has probably been one of my longest “friends” on MySpace. The reason I remember this unusual fact being as no-one really has any idea who’s friends with who on MySpace is because for one, she’s beautiful and two, Ella has had the same profile picture for about two years.

However, it’s all about the music and how decadent and sublime these lazy, sexy tunes are. Fortunately for us Ella has the sweet, subtle voice that helps captivate you as Skye did when Morcheeba burst through in 1999 with Big Calm and Beth Gibbons’ Portishead did with their hook, line and sinker (and sink even further) album Dummy in ’94.

The beats are of a soft drum and bass style with some random, floaty synthetics and guitars that suit an alfresco evening in the garden after the party barbeque leaving the dishes until the morning and continue drinking the vino until the sunsets.

Ella Trip, the debut album is out on July 12th 2010. You can preview it here.

The Reward Is Cheese by deadmau5 vs. Jelo


18 Jun

THE first track I ever heard by this “Dead Mow 5″ guy! Totaly taken aback by the ridiculous bassline which sent a cheesy grin across my Chesire Cat warface.

Deadmau5 told me -yes, Joel Zimmerman told me himself – that the collaboration came about because it would be good for him to have Jelo’s name attached to the record. It may have worked but due to the genius mind that the man possess, he would’ve made it on his own steam eventually. And dear me, hasn’t he just!

A priceless classic!

Meko by Etostone


11 Jun

WOW! This is a huge, big beat number! This is the kind of track that makes a club sound incredibly bigger than what it actually is. One of those tunes which is a little ahead of it’s time being as it is once again back out on the circuit. But dear me, this is such a storming track. Etostone is multi-award winning Greek DJ/Producer and here you see hear why. The depth is incredible, you’ll get lost in this.

This is the kind of track that’ll proper sort you out.

Beasts In The Basement by Reso


11 Jun

This is aggressive, hardcore dubstep from Reso but instead of rocking the core you’ll be bouncing strong to this. It’s got a good dancing pace rather than the slow rocking style you can find your doing. With a touch of reggae along with the grimey bass it is one that can move you into the direction of getting ruined! Smart work.

Select Frequency by Bassnectar ft. Seasunz


11 Jun

With dance music in this country of the UK we tend to only stick to our own. In my experience of living in the middle of it with friends only aware of the Australian imports of Pendulum and of course the almighty Prodigy. In San Francisco there is a guy who is banging out bigger beats with heavier basslines known in the Dubstep genre but not really anywhere else. Bassnectar is smart, heavy and knows very much how to produce some serious electric bombs.

Here’s one of them with a Hip-Hop tinge.
