Monkers dubstep mix

Greetings.

Just received a new mixer through the post with actual record out possibilities...
So I put together this little mix in 20 minutes just to test it out.

It contains old and new dubs, along with some remixes and a cheeky tune inspired by a channel 4 character.

Technically the mix is far from perfect and the bass clashes more than once. Tune selection is not great either but im just testing out the mixer, it took me an hour to work out how to monitor the right channels in the headphones.

Anyway here it is in not so glorious 320 kb/s.

FIGHT BACK AGAINST FILTH!

The fight begins here.

Grab your bass bins, mister muscle and unsubscribe from the UKF brostep channel on YouTube.
Dubstep isn't supposed to sound like robots fighting, its about bass for the chest plate. Its about time some less 'filthy' dubstep got some airplay.
Turn up your subs.

Our warriors fighting the good fight:

Digital Mystikz - Lost City



Kryptic Minds - Badman



Jakes - Time Ends



Radikal Guru - Dub Down Babylon



Stenchman - Banks Of The Nile

Deep and dark like a Chilean mine...

After hearing so much about the Chilean miners I started searching for a little music to jam to. Inspired by there being trapped in a deep dark hole I stumbled across this little gem.

The buttons are being pushed by a producer known as Dark0 and the EP is called 'Serotonin'. Its got a kind of dark future garage chilled out dubstep vibe.
The best thing about this EP?... Its 100% free. Check it.

Full EP in glorious 320kb/s right HERE.

Just a quickie...

Time for a remix. Check it.

Tupac - Still Ballin (MiMOSA remix)

MINI BESTIVAL PREVIEW

Easy peeps.
The time is upon us for the late summer Bestival. If you havent heard then let me tell you... This is the place to be. Held in the Robin Hill country park on the Isle of Wight the event has sold out and its no wonder... The lineup boasts a huge range of artists and dj's across a broad range of genres. The funky theme this year is fantasy and I know a few people who've got some strange fantasies so expect to see some fucked up fancy dress.
Anyway, as David Rodigan would say "...We don't wanna make too many speeches because it's all about the music..."
Check these tracks out and download the Bestival app which will allow you to add your favourite acts to a personal schedule so you dont miss anything over the weekend... Unless there are some horrible clashes and your favourites are playing at the same time... God Forbid.
Enjoy, ciao main x

DJ's to watch:- Richie Hawtin, Tensnake, Magda, Seth Troxler, David Rodigan & Dj Derek

UK Apachi With Shy FX - Original Nuttah



High Contrast - The Ghost Of Jungle Past



Chase & Status Ft Dizzee Rascal - Heavy (1Xtra Radio Rip)

I'll be brief and say that garage is not dead, it's the future and Ellie Goulding is bang tidy. Also this is probably better than the subfocus remix... just putting it out there, BIG TUNE.

Ciao main x

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Chemikal Recipes Back to the Old Skool Remix)

Lets take a little break

Breakage is a badman. The producing legend's new album 'Foundation' dropped in February and since then hes remixed Prayin by Plan B and made the song 10x better. The track is now an awesome future garage style riddum.
The album has some awesome collaborations and is worth picking up. It features tracks alongside The Newham Generals, Donaeo and Roots Manuva.

Check it, Ciao main x

Breakage Ft. Donaeo - Speechless



Breakage Ft. The Newham Generals - Hard



Plan B - Prayin (Breakage Remix)

Wiz Kids

Been a bit slack on posts lately because real life has been kicking my ass, but nevermind all that shit lets get down to business!

L-Wiz, the swedes known for the absolute laid back chillstep affair that is 'Girl From Codeine City' has been hitting the buttons hard and producing his ass off! Recently released on All Out Dubstep is Mexter Dorgan and the B side Cape Fear. Both are obviously inspired by television, but thats not the only thing they have in common... They are both absolute bangers.

Mexter Dorgan features a dark and dangerous vocal that proceeds the sub bass and you know its about to get violent when someone says "...I was surrounded by blood".

And Cape Fear has the kind of vocal breakdown at the bridge that a former Hellingly Mental Asylum patient would be proud of.

Massive tunes by L-Wiz, respect.

SPECIAL BONUS FEATURE:

This is L-Wiz latest mix entitled Malmö Mixen vol.2. It's inspired by the long journeys down & up from Stockholm to Malmö, Sweden (5-6 hour drive FUCK THAT). This one only dropped on the 25th so its fresh as a daisy!

L-Wiz - Malmö Mixen vol.2

L-Wiz - Girl From Codeine City

The Art Department

This one is a dead cert. Believe me when I say 'Without You' by The Art Department is going to be BIG!
The Art Department are Kenny Glasgow and Jonny White both hailing from Canada with their roots deep set in the underground techno and house scene.
This tune is already being rinsed by the likes of Lee Foss and Jamie Jones in their sets and it features on Jef K's latest Resident Advisor podcast.
I've heard from the grapevine that if this track is heard on a decent sound system, something like the funktion-one... The bass line can actually cause you to bleed from the rectum.
It's rumoured to be out within the next couple of months on Crosstown Rebels alongside its A side track 'Vampire Nightclub Feat. Seth Troxler' and it's more than likely it'll be number 1 on Beatport.
Shouts to Chad from Eknosketch for consulting with me on this one.

Hunger

Mathangi Arulpragasam (or as we know her, feisty M.I.A.) was manufactured by her parents for one reason and one reason only. No, not only to make the best curries in South London but to sound bloody good when marinaded in some tandoori dubstep paste. This shit is hotter than Vindaloo.

Rye Rye Feat. M.I.A. - Bang (Hypnos Remix)

Mind you... Santigold tastes pretty good with a bit of sliced dub chucked in her soul food.


Dub & Run - Shove It

Counter Kulture

This lad is doing it real B I! After originally being a producer and then only recently learning to DJ so he can show off his own productions Kulture has made big strides in the world of Dubstep. He's done a special set for Mary Anne Hobbs and a massive set on GetdarkerTV
Skream has been larging him up no end and rightly so.

He's just put together a mix for BIG UP magazine and has outdone himself once again. The mix features his own button pressing skills aswell as tunes from Skream, Magnetic Man and Omni Trio. Give this bad boy a listen and try not to knock your sister out when your windmilling your arms around the house.

Big Up Magazine Podcast 32 (Kulture) by bigupmagazine

I hope you're pryda yourself

What a beautiful english summer day... 10 Inches of rain and gale force winds worse than the dog after my ole dear buys him that expensive dog food... Bless him though he's not well so say a little prayer for him.

So, Eric Prydz has dominated our charts with efforts such as 'Call On Me' (must see video for perverts) and the remix of Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick In The Wall, Part II' renamed 'Proper Education'. But who knows about his alter ego?

Pryda isn't so much about chart topping generic pop dance and more about feel good progressive house. This is the kind of house that reminds you of those moments at club nights where you large it up with a glowstick in one hand and a gurner in the other whilst telling the sweaty bloke next to you, you love him.

The tracks below include the ever uplifting and chirpy 'Niton' and its b-side 'Vega'. There is also a more focused and solemn effort in 'The End' showing a darker side of life. These tracks are out on Pryda Records and are definitely worth a listen. Head over to Beatport and sort yourself out!

Pryda - Niton



Pryda - Vega



Pryda - The End

Dubfall

What's the best way celebrate such a lovely rainy afternoon? Yes, with some sunny vocal dub.

Tanya Stephens - It's A Pity


Mad Professor Feat. Alika - The Lion of Judah


Roots Manuva Feat. The Riddla - UK Warriors

Chillsteppin'

Ez now.
Keeping this one short and sweet as its late. Basically such a phenomenom exists as chilled dubstep (chillstep)... Everyones obviously aware of Burial and what he's done but there are a few other artists out there doing it real B I. Most of the tunes borrow from other genres such as 2 step garage and chillout.
Take a listen and relax, ciao main x

Late - Losing You (Shit 46kbps Rip)



Chromeo - Night By Night (Skreams Sexstep Remix)



Imogen Heap - 2-1 (Murdok Remix) - Prop's to The Smoothest Gooch for this one



Bright Eyes - No One Would Riot For Less (Clueless Dubstep Remix)



Burial - Fostercare

Dose

It's got a bit scrappy in the pub and some geezer's turned around and punched your mate in the face. He's out for the count. He's alright though and he's coming round muttering a couple of words you scarcely believe are being put together at this very point in time: 'what's dubstep?'. Quick get your iPod/CD Player/MiniDisc Player/Walkman/Decks/Anything out and shove some Bar 9 in his lugholes. Right as rain. Why are the B-sides always better?

Bar 9 - Midnight


Bar 9 - Rapture


Bar 9 - Amalgamation

Chasing The Dragon

Not the drug taking technique but just as addictive and twice as dirty.

Chasing Shadows are a duo comprised of Joe Erskine and Luca Gulotta that make upfront dubstep. They're successful in that the songs they remix or produce build you right up to whats going to be an epic drop and then throw you back down into their gully riddums (technical term).
Its the kinda drop that you know is coming but there's literally nothing you can do about it other than get down on the floor like a filthy ratpig.

If you dont know about this tune, where have you been?

Damian Marley - It Was Written (Chasing Shadows Remix)



This track possesses a straight up no nonsense title and a cheeky sample of little wayne.

Ill - Chasing Shadows



This last tune is the future ladies and gents. We first heard this on GetdarkerTV (Big up to them) and bedrooms all over the UK imploded when darkside drew from this one.
Look for this one to be huge at the Outlook & SW4 festivals.

Laid Blak - Red (Chasing Shadows Remix)



Im off to sky+ eastenders, cant get enough of big Phil Mitchell on crack, ciao main x

DISCO DANCE!

Now then, everbody loves a bidda disco. Whether it's old school or new disco there is some cracking fun to be had with a funky tune and some awkward shapes.

First up is an absolute trend setter with a classic trumpet riff from the late 70's when flares and big hair were the norm. If you own a copy of this on 12" you can pretty much do anything and still be considered superfly.

Chicago - Street Player

Fast forward 25 years like im riding in the mother fucking delorean we've got a classic house tune which takes its inspiration from the disco days and puts it through a car wash in Detroit. Heard this tune spun at one of the infamous Faversham garden parties in Leeds and the place went oh bananas, oh bananas, oh bananas.

Harddrive - Deep Inside

At present Lee Foss has been pumping out some quality mixes and has taken a liking to a few disco inspired deep house joints in his set. His button pushing skills arent bad either with this excellent track Grinding.

Mad props to Chad from Eknosketch for linking me up with this tune.

Lee Foss - Grinding



That's all for now bruvs, ciao main x
