The photo shows what physical position we're in when we produce together.
In the next couple days, we're going to be making some tunes with McMess from Smoothest Gooch
Also we've got a new website coming up within the next couple weeks. This website is going to include news, reviews and all sorts of lifestyle stuff so stay tuned and hear about it before everyone else because its gonna be bigger than barry.
Before blowing up fresh chunks and tipping a bowl of Corn Flakes down his throat, Whitz likes to spend his Sunday mornings terrorising his neighbours and making mixes. Here's his third cracking instalment.
Now onto business... A good friend of the show; David 'Whitz' Whitfield is new to the 1's and 2's but has recorded two delightful mixes for your audio pleasure. Both are available to download in 320kb/s and smash up a couple sub genres of the 140bpm behemoth that is dubstep.
The first mix is exactly what it says on the tin: Calming. Featuring some old and some new dubs, including my favourite track of all time 'Girl From Codeine City.'
The second mix is more in your face and definitely commands attention. Featuring tracks by Benga, Modestep and Joker to name but a few. This ones definitely one to put on before you drink, fight and fuck.
That's all for now, were doing a possible pilgrimage to DMZ in Leeds on 18th of February, if anyone fancies it.
Also hold tight for a new mix from myself coming in the next few days, it promises to be in key and technically sound... fuck me right?.. Also big news coming soon regarding a proper music and lifestyle website... Hold tight.
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. Rapidshare
1) Kulture - Tyrone 2) Mensah - Brian Badonde Riddim 3) L-Wiz - Cape Fear 4) Drumsound & Bassline Smith - Fu Manchu 5) Magnetic Man - Mad 6) Joker & TC - It Aint Got A Name 7) Magnetic Man - Anthemic 8) Skream - Raw Dogz 9) Skream - The Wibbler 10) Foreign Beggars ft. Wretch 32 & Dot Rotten - Seven Figure Swagger (Plastician Remix)

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.
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.
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)
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.
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!
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. Ciao main x
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.
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.
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!
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)
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?
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
