Submerse – Change In You 1

by admin • Breaks, garage

OLD SKOOL FUTURE GARAGE ? – this is why vinyl stores went belly up, you see? So many ridiculous genres spawning and splintering that they just ran out of sleeve dividers to keep them all organised. An Old Skool Future Garage Rave would feature a crowd full of Progeria sufferers wearing white Armani gloves and blowing whistles that project three dimensional images of the drugs they’ve ingested.

Submerse would be headlining and everyone would go fucking bananas untll 8am when the genre died and so would most of the crowd. A good night though, I bet. Submerse is one to watch this year, keep your ears peeled.

Mr Scruff – Get A Move On (Doorly Pigeonhole This! Remix) 0

by admin • garage

LUNATIC BASS REMIX -Doorly goes to work on the Mr Scruff classic “Get A Move On” from his seminal Keep It Unreal album.  Tearing up the original samples from Moondogs “Birds Lament“ mister Doorly turns in a sinus clearing, remix.

MoonDog, by the way, was a mad as absolute bat-shit composer who lived on the streets of New York dressed as an extra from Lord Of The Rings. And was blind. They don’t make lunatics like they used to.

Melé – I Swear Down 0

by admin • bashment, Breaks, garage

8Bit RAVEMENT BASHINESS - Nowadays music genres blend, mutate and implode so fucking fast that by the time someone has managed to coin a phrase for a nascent genre it’s already completely obsolete. I’m pretty sure it’s only music journalists that bother to seek out labels for the artists they’re whoring themselves about. Hoping they’ve stumbled across some massive scoop to send them on a meteoric rise through the ranks of the fluffy journo cunt storm.
So really I’ve no idea what the blazing fuck Mele’ is producing but it sounds rad. Is it afro? bash? future garage? post-dubstep? flange? sprocket? head gasket?……fuck I dunno. He’s from Merseyside so what ever it is he probably nicked it.

MAN LIKE ME – London Town (JME & Rudekid Remix) 0

by admin • Breaks, garage

COCKNEY KNEES UP – strike a light gor blimey guv and other such cockerny bollix. This JME and Rudekid remix of Man Like Me totally slipped me past. It’s prolly like, you know, well old innit yeah.  Dug this one out just for you.

This tunes got it all – chunky piano riff, 2-step beats, bubbling bass, some cheerful  lyrics and  a home brew video to contest all low budget productions put before it.  Induces fond memories of something I didn’t really experience which is the sign of a tune with soul. Rinsin Down!

Hissy Fit – Cross Trainers 0

by admin • bashment, Breaks, garage • Tags: ,

SQUEAKY CLEAN GARAGE – A cracking little EP released this week on PhutureLabs. Hailing from Montreal producer Hissy Fit probably has a beard on his chin and a sturdy axe in his garage as well as a studio in bedroom. First I’ve heard of the chap,doubt it will be the last. Have a snoop through his stuff, the strongest cut for me is the garage fix of Cross Trainers, a highly polished late night 2 step number that trips on and on. Smart artwork as well.

Heavy Feet – Music High 0

by admin • garage, House, Uncategorized

ESSENTIAL BASS GROOVE – from their latest  Sawdust and Sultanas EP, HeavyFeets “Music High”  on Plant Music might have slipped under the radar of some folk out there.

The promo that’s bouncing around the interweb is a mini mix of the excellent 4 track EP so the impatient amongst you may have checked only the first track on the promo mix.  But for me this is by far the strongest track on the release. A solid bass killer with a heads down groove sitting somewhere between DJ Zinc and the Motor City Drum Ensemble.

The whole EP expertly traverses the garage / house sound and is out now on Beatport.

Buy it now or I’ll nail the family pet to your nans forehead.

HeavyFeet – Sawdust & Sultanas EP 0

by admin • Breaks, garage, House

TOUGH STEP – Nowadays you can enjoy the 2-step sound without the fear of getting bokkled by an idiot in Armani jeans. I helped put on a garage night once – it was a monday – and it still kicked off.
Thankfully it’s no longer a guilty pleasure to wiggle to skipping snares thanks to upstanding gents like Heavyfeet, a brace of producers from Manchester.

For those of you who might not be familiar with English geography, Manchster is in the North of England and is famed for permanent rainfall, friendly people and ladies with radioactive skin tones.

The clip above is a mini-mix of the new Sawdust and Sultanas EP and you really need to have a scrub through the whole file. A really strong release from Plant Music – watch this label and keep an ear to the ground for Heavyfeet releases.

Go get it from Beatport.

Corneille “Liberation”- MJ Cole dubb Remix 0

by admin • bashment, garage

GARAGE DON DUBS UP - It was once the case that whenever there was a gurridge night you could GUARANTEE that broke kids in expensive clothes would appear and fuck the evening up for everyone. You’d only need utter the name “MJ Cole” and someone would get shot.  Fortunately a lot of the aggro that was once the preserve of the gurridge night has been absorbed by the grime scene and you can now get away with dropping a 2-step garage anthem,  the white kids love it and no-one gets bokkled.

No longer a guilty pleasure – MJ Cole still kills it.

Just Be Good To Green (Greenmoney’s Colour Blind remix) 1

by admin • bashment, Breaks, garage

Beats International Refix – The “Dub Be Good To Me” vocal gets a bashy reworking from Greenmoney. Lindy Layton who sang the original vocal on Dub Be Good To Me spiralled into obscurity after her smash with Beats International. Attempts to resuscitate her floundering career failed miserably but there was one rather curious upshot . She ended up releasing a couple of gnarly big-beat tracks on Norman Cook’s Skint label under the name of Hardknox.

Completely missed the point haven’t I? I know fuck all about Greenmoney, but probably not as pretty as Lindy Layton

Or as minted.
