Quick post, and seeing it's 5 past 12, I can post yesterdays and todays tunes.

First up is a free download from the Mystery Jets, new song called Flash a Hungry Smile, just great as always. It's available on their website now.

Second is a song of Cypress Hill's new album called K.U.S.H., old school from the Hill and makes you want to spark up a fatty.

Tune of the Day - Crystalised (Dark Sky Remix)

2010-04-20T22:36:00.002+01:00

Quality remix, kinda garage-y kinda dubby.. just great.

Tune of the Weekend - Come Together (Omega Remix)

2010-04-18T00:22:00.002+01:00

Incredible, just listen.

The Beatles - Come Together (Omega Remix) by OmegaDubstep

Thats how you remix a classic.

Track of the Day - Turn Up (The Music)

2010-04-15T14:43:00.002+01:00

By no means, no but still a heavy tune. Being released on Sick Music 2 from Hospital Records which is released on the 26th and promises to be a stunning compilation.

Best listened to with a sub woofer, really helps you appreciate it. Really love this style of minimalistic drum and bass.

Camo & Krooked - Turn Up (The Music)

Track of the Day - Airplanes

2010-04-14T13:43:00.002+01:00

The track of the day is the new leak from B.O.B.'s new album featuring none other than Hayley from Paramore. The track's called Airplanes, and it's sure to be a hit. I personally think Hayley's voice works really well on this, even though it does on most songs the bands done.

Example - Kickstarts

2010-04-14T01:25:00.003+01:00

Finally heard the original version of Kickstarts and I've gotta be honest, loving it already, first play kinda flew by me, but then the second and I was hooked.

Great work on production by Sub Focus and Example keeps tight on the lyrics as always. The short phone interview with Example after the premiere pretty much sums up my feelings.

"wanted the hands in the air moment", "something MGMT but with a bonkers feel to it"...

Sub Focus - Splash (Rusko Remix)

2010-04-13T16:33:00.001+01:00

Quick post, new Sub Focus tune remixed by Rusko therefore you have high expectations, and yes they're definitely met..

Example - Kickstarts (Bar9 Remix)

2010-04-13T12:31:00.008+01:00

Cracking remix by Bar 9 of Example's new tune Kickstarts, was played exclusively last night on Mistajam's show on 1Xtra and the original will be receiving it's world premiere on Zane Lowe's show tonight. The original mix is produced by Sub Focus which proves to be a great track and a great chance for Sub Focus to show even more versatility than he did on his self titled album.

Chiddy Bang

2010-04-10T19:20:00.002+01:00

I first heard Chiddy Bang last year, when I was browsing hypem.com and came across the now hugely popular Kids, or now called The Opposite of Adults. I instantly liked the track, the production by Xaphoon Jones was quality and I knew it would be a great single, making the UK 20 before being basically unknown but received great airplay. Having a great chorus which leaves everyone singing out loud.

After hearing Kids I looked more into the combination that is Chiddy Bang and got hold of the mixtape the Swelly Express and gave it a couple with some outstanding tracks on there which show the pairs true potential. Standing out by a distance for me were Kids and Truth, featuring Passion Pit.

The new mixtape "Air Swell" dropped on the 8th of April and features 7 tracks. All a great show of Jones' great production skills and Chiddy's tight lyrics. My favourite most probably being the refix of Ellie Goulding's Under the Sheets, closely followed by Breakfast which features an old favourite Kate Nash of all people. Which on another note I would love to hear some new stuff buy.

Anyway heres the Under the Sheets fix for download and follow the other link for the mixtape.

Chiddy Bang - Under the Sheets

What's New

2010-04-04T21:11:00.004+01:00

First up is the hot new release from Nero, this pair really burst on the drum and bass/dubstep scene last year, with some awesome original productions like Act Like You Know, with both the drum and bass original and dubstep leaving people raving, and some incredible remixes, my favourite probably being their fix of Enter Shikari's Juggernauts.

On April 26th, on MTA records, they will release Innocence, a hard hitting dubstep number and Electron, another cracking drum and bass track.

Here is the video for Innocence, which featurs some simplistic manga and all kicks off on the drop. Awesome video.

The Notorious XX

2010-03-31T17:36:00.004+01:00

I like mash ups, in many forms. Mash ups help make songs better and can make things work that you think would never work. I came across one mash up by wait what on the hypem popular charts and when I further investigated I was very intrigued to find a whole album with mash up between two of my favourite, but two very different artists, The XX, which have only recently came into my library but have instantly shot into my highest rated and the Notorius B.I.G., who has featured in my library for a good while, an incredible talent and a wordsmith and taken from the world way before his time.

My favourite of the album after my first play had to be the mash up between, Islands and Sky's the Limit, which I will upload here and if you like it, do follow the link to whole album which is being given away for free. :)

wait what - islands' the limit

album link.. the notorious xx

Dubstepping!

2010-03-31T16:11:00.003+01:00

Love these new dubstep tracks I've heard recently with some cracking samples.

Firstly is by Chrispy, which features Inspector Gadget, really hard on the bass which I love, and also reminds me of the under-rated film and the cartoon series which I used to watch as a minor :)

Chrispy - Inspector Gadget

Secondly is one I absolutely love, by Coven, it features the Animal Hospital and also samples of Rolf Harris. Perfect from the outset with the drums and also some hard bass. Musically excellent and also brings back memories from back in the day of watching Rolfy getting to business.

The Glitch Mob

2010-03-25T20:05:00.005Z

Earlier this year at the end of January I went to Remix nightclub in Hitchin to see a Pendlum DJ set. Supporting them were The Glitch Mob, I didn't know much about them, saw their names mentioned on a few websites but never got round to listening any of their stuff, however I was pleasantly surprised by their set, I was expecting something in a similar vein to Pendulum but what I actually heard was some really hard hitting electro music. I liked what I heard and got hold of some of their tunes online, and they've been played hard on my laptop since. Their set was fairly unique, some elements reminding me a little bit of Justice, I went on their website the other day and saw there was a new free download while their site is being redesigned.

The track's called Drive It Like You Stole It and is powerful and easy to listen to at the same time, link to download to follow..

The Glitch Mob - Drive It Like You Stole It

BONUS

Matty G - West Coast Rocks (The Glitch Mob Remix)

The second download is the song that really stood out for me when I listened to them and adored when I got home.

Bonobo

2010-03-24T21:01:00.005Z

Just got hold of Bonobo's new album Black Sands. And after a couple listens I'm pretty impressed, nice mellow stuff. Can imagine listening to it while in the bath or on a lazy sunny day. My personal favourite off the album being All In Forms, closely followed by the lead single, The Keeper (Featuring Andreya Triana).

Don't really know too much about the artist, apart from him being from the UK. The albums out on Ninja Tune so go cop it now. (Out March 29th in UK)

I actually know more about the animal than the artist due to being made to do a little research on them in science last year. They're the only other mammals known to have casual sex for pleasure don't you know..

Bonobo - The Keeper (Live at The Big Chill 2009)

Netsky

2010-03-23T16:39:00.004Z

Netsky was an emerging name in drum and bass towards the end of last year. I first heard of him when a friend sent me a cut of Come Back Home and instantly I wanted to hear more. Original productions like Starlight and Smile and remixes of Chew Lips' Karen and Miike Snows' Black and Blue have forced his way to the top of my favourite drum and bass producers.

A new song Memory Lane has emerged which will be on the fortcoming 'Sick Music 2' compilation on Hospital Records; and I think it may be one of his strongest songs yet, a real banger.

BONUS

Miike Snow - Black & Blue (Netsky Remix)

Hey all.
I've decided to set up a blog to share with everyone my interests, primarily musically and then maybe see where it leads, anyway, tunes..

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Dexcell Remix) Mirror Link V12 by DexcellDnB

This remix has been doing the rounds on my iTunes for a little while now, Ellie Goulding has also had one of my favourite albums of the year so far. Starry Eyed one of the standouts for me and I was really happy to see it make top 10.

More posts to come..
