BANK HOLIDAY HEAVY ROTATION

Charli XCX - You're the One (Woz Remix)


Black Butter Records DJ and producer, Woz heightens his profile again with this dark, rythmic re-work of goth-pop songstress Charli XCX.  Ever since his remix of RackNRuin's Territory, Woz really has cemented himself as a fantastic bass producer.

FRIDAY FLAVOURS

FREE DOWNLOAD.  JESS MILLS - FOR MY SINS (GORGON CITY REMIX CLUB)



Gorgon City a.k.a Foamo and RacknRuin lay down a perfect slab of club bass music here, with an excellent remix of Jess Mills' floaty tune.  This is 4/4 with a kick; a great way to bring a heavier bass sound into a house set.

NEW HUXLEY.

Huxley is on top form again here on remix duties for one of the tracks of the summer, Pirupa's Party Non Stop (out soon on Defected).  This is a heavy-duty party track, pumping with Huxley's thick bass wrapped around it.  Look out for Huxley's 1trax mix, dropping on 13th August, which is sure to be essential.

FREE BASS

Lovin' this Detboi remix of Herve's new single feat. Ronika - How Can I Live Without You (Make it Right).  The original is a highlight from Herve's new album Pick me up, Sort me out, Calm me down (out now, Cheap Thrills).  An old school belter with a healthy dose of Herve's trademark ghetto bass.  This is a worthy remix though, stripping back the rave piano's in exchange for some filthy bassline.



Also if you are into house, wobble or bass music, and haven't already downloaded this then just get on it.  It's the new Jack Beats mixtape and it's sheer energy simply smacks you in the face.  Its a pre-cursor to the first of 2 mini EP's the duo are dropping over the next few months.  The mix opens with title track Careless and drops some of their trademark wobbly remixes like Beyonce's Countdown, plus some unheard tracks, which I hope to see on the EP!

FRIDAY FLAVOURS

Eats Everything should be flavour of the month every month.  The Bristolian, otherwise known as Daniel Pearce,  is all over Businessman on Diazepam, with his deep, playful bass-work.  Get the track from The Other Tribe's E.P, (out now on Black Butter Records).



Jack & Bass, a track from funky Polish DJ Martino B has been floating around for a while, but now it gets a full official EP release from Polish bassline label Impulz Records.  It's unashamedly banger as they come!

FRIDAY. HEAVY ROTATION

MOSCA. EVA MENDES EP.
Mosca blends so fluidly elements of deep house and garage, it's no wonder his latest release is on Hypercolour, a label where Huxley and Maya Jane Coles have cemented the sound of 2012; funky, deep cuts.  Eva Mendes hooks it's way inside your brain in a similar way to Bax  The EP is complete with Accidently, a throbbing deep-house number featuring fantastic soulful vocal from Robert Owens and the blissed-out shuffle, Murderous.  This is another must-have from Mosca.  Out now.




Also really digging this Subb-an remix of Noir & Haze's Around.  Out July 9th (Defected)



And Maya Jane Cole's ultra stripped back remix of Little Dragon's excellent Ritual single.  I love how she picks apart certain elements of the original and brings them to the forefront, such as the slightly cold, unnerving bass-line.  Ultra atmospheric and chilled.

I've been away.

I went on holiday to Bulgaria, which has a killer drink called Rakia, kind of like Brandy.  You drink it with a glass of water or lemonade; it's addictive and gets you smashed.  Bulgaria is weird, kind of western, kind of cheesy, but beautiful, and the people are lovely.  I've been away from computer's, watching the Euro's, working, reading and listening to old stuff in my car, not a lot of new. 
This new track from Tony Blitz, one quarter of the DJ/production outfit C.R.S.T has caught my attention though.  It's got a soul snippet vocal, a lovely 4/4 with a twist of bass n' step.  Hope it gets released.



Eats Everything.  An incredible producer doing special things all the time (check out the Jagged Elbow EP out now) has offered up this FREE DOWNLOAD.  It's a re-work of a 2011 track from Switch featuring the incredible vocals of Andrea Martin.  Incredible goosebump inducing stuff.  Check out the original BBC Radio 1 essential mix that Eat's did, where this track first appeared.  It's a killer.
