These days, I often feel like The White Rabbit from Lewis Carroll’s book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, staring at an in-box flooded with music, muttering to myself “I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!” There’s loads to post and literally, very [...]

Since Vex'd put out Degenerate, a brilliant and brooding collection of tunes cutting it dangerously close to Black Metal, the genre has been bountifully untethered from its foundations. Coming up in these foundations is Unit One DJ Keith P, whose interest in Garage/2-step/House sounds has now been re-wired to include new and exciting sounds from [...]

A busy boy is the Toddla T, 24-year-old Sheffield producer, who has veritably shaped the urban street sounds of his childhood home and carved a fine niche for himself in the dancehall, ragga, bassline and dub music scene – from his seminal Ghettoblaster mixtape release to a FabricLive mix, Toddla’s not resting on his laurels.Toddla [...]

Scott Reeder, one half of Nottingham breaks act Hexadecimal, quietly landed this uber-relevant bombshell on me last week, and I’ve been melting under pressure ever since: a new mix based on his Glade set, which is all about the dancefloor and dispels every myth about the stagnant inflexibility (or supposed death) of breaks.Scott’s just the [...]

I have to admit: I never got Chewy Chocolate Cookies until now. I don't have a sweet tooth. I don't get things that seem like a marketing gimmick. I'm old school - I like to know the person behind the tricks. Alas, I received this mix, and I was hooked straight away by the unrelenting pace [...]

I had first heard of Digitalfoxglove when he did a remix of “D.I.S.C.O.TEXAS Theme” by Xinobi and Moulinex. Apparently that remix and the quality of his own original productions which followed caught the attention of French label boss Freak You (see more on him here). And the wine connaisseur did the right thing: he convinced [...]

Matt, [...]
