I said I was going to post this a week ago but... man I've been busy... instead of some long drawn out explanation I'm just posting it. No, neither ddpesh or Cut Copy are British. But ddpesh are friends and the remix is bangin'... and Cut Copy come from Britian's favourite prison island called Australia! Just kidding just kidding! that never gets old though... Cut Copy- "Far Away (d...

Well let's try something a little different here... I was able to get the first part of this interview up but then every attempt thereafter yielded less than favourable results. If you have a listen to this interview you're going to be able to tell it's hard as hell to hear... therefore it's been a serious task to try to transcribe this. It was a fun interview (although you can tell I'm qui...

Ohhhhh yeah more Fabric goodies. Seriously doesn't shit this make your day much better? Like it was a rainy depressing mess this morning and POOF it's all better because I've got so much good free music to listen to! First thing to address is next Friday's Fabriclive with Yuksek and the free mix to commemorate the event. Which is cool because recently I've been thinking that I needed some...

It's always good to hear from people who are part of the Arcadia Family... so when I got this email about a new Heads We Dance single I was pysched! Then I was even more excited to find that I'm getting to offer you guys the new single for free! I hope that if you enjoy it you go out and purchase a physical copy. HWD are leading the pack of artists who understand it's better to work with ...

This week Stanton Warriors: Sessions Volume 3 came out in the U.S!Just in case you forgot... Stanton Warriors blew onto the scene with their Stanton Sessions Volume One and totally flipped the script on dance music as we knew it. The compilation became one of the best known of all time because of it's cross genre splicing going from 2-step garage, to breakbeats, to house, and everything in bet...

We'll get to this Skream and Benga thing in a minute!I rarely do "off format" posts... this is a British blog and that's that. NOW, every once and a while I'll make the exception... Kotchy has been stirring up a lot of attention in recent months and this remix of "One For the Money" by BD1982 is baller... gotta love those dub sounds...Here's some press...With "One For the Money" there's a m...

Wow... Today is the second time in two weeks (and over 200 some posts) that I got in trouble for posting a track (a site called Chilling Effects that monitors internet piracy trends will explain all this better; the message was relayed to me by Blogger from God knows who)... this was a Howie B track from his 1997 album (which you can see above how many downloads that got... It was done be...

Oh good old Machines Don't Care... it would have been nice if I would have finished the damn Hervé or Toddla T interviews to post with this song but, alas, I have not :( I'll get it done soon enough, cool your jets. I've been busy! Work is really hard right now and it's hard to research (to write questions) and call at the same time. Being in marketing has its ups and downs (yeah that's my..

Last night magical glittery stars might as well have fallen from the sky when Obama got California... when those electoral votes jumped to 283, or whatever it was, I expected to see rainbows and sunshine (and other things usually only associated with organic brain death or serious hallucinogens). It was truly a major moment. The wife and I were so excited we ran home and threw two person ...

I never get tired of GTA ... "Breakthrough" is positive hip hop that just makes you want you keep starting the song over when it ends. I really really like this song... and while the production is fresh (nice new spin on this sample) it's the verses that keep it from just being a fresh sounding instrumental! Trying to tell you how good this song is almost impossible because it's the type...

So... not only have "the tapes been found" but we also have a fantastic second single from the rapidly approaching album from Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim's new project The BPA! The last single "Toe Jam" I was able to give to you guys and, man, talk about flooding the market! There have been like two mixtapes out of like 30 that I've seen that DON'T have some form of that track on 'em. Looks li...

That C&D thing because of the Howie B track, last week, made me want to stop writing. For real. And for good.I know that sounds dumb but when you work so hard to plug other people's music and you don't make SHIT doing it, it's kind of a big slap in the face with like the recording industry's knob. Really hard. Like getting mushroom stamped and getting your jaw broken at the same time.So, I'...

OK... first things first. I understand that copyrighted works are not to be fucked with. I too, like many of you, am a musician and a DJ and I sure as shit wouldn't want a really great single of mine posted for free somewhere. But, truth be told, law or not, if someone posted a b-side or a remix of mine long after it had come out? I couldn't give a shit regardless of whether I was maki...

I was recently having a chat with some of my coworkers about how "mainstream" radio is intersecting quite a bit with underground artists (many of them being British). Good examples are the success of "Paper Planes" by M.I.A., the oft passed around Gnarls Barkley cover of Radiohead's "Reckoner", Timbaland bringing "Courtship Dating" to the people via "Ayo Technology" (maybe that's the other way...

To My Boy have been very good to Arcadia. They were one of the first bands (followed by the likes of Frankmusik, Black Ghosts, SMD, GTA, etc ) to give us exclusive "big name" tracks before anyone else had posted them and for that we're eternally grateful! They're presumably working on the follow up to their amazing "Messages" album... but they've got a little treat for you! A nice new mix...

Acidkids WERE Markus Lange and Daniel Dexter. Markus put together my favourite remix of Black Ghosts "I Want Nothing (which their management let us post; at the time it was a North American exclusive as the rest of the world already had their hands on it) which was an absolute DJ set staple. WHILE I'M MENTIONING HIM you HAVE to check out his blog that has fantastic remixes re-edits and e...

This is a nice little midweek treat! An exclusive dubstep mix from Caspa that is fireeeeeeee. And it comes courtesy of none other than Fabric who of course, as always, is bringing the heat with a party next weekend that will melt your face off (and this is the mix to get you excited for THE Halloween event in London). That's how lowd, wild, slick, it will be... you won't have a face left! ...
