Rectitude (Karl Kanarlje Remix) – Kidnap Kid
Take It Back A Decade – Dee:See
Headlock (Sam Harvey Remix) – Imogen Heap
Chug a lugggggg… Rough and ready peak time dirt from the likes of Night Symmetry, Riton & Jan Driver. Heavy on the low end, tight and rigid on synthside. Had A.C.P on lock recently, spacious but jam packed with bendy synths, attitude and carnival effect. Absolute dancefloor fiyaaa. Be sure to follow ‘em up . Easy.
Diamond (Night Symmetry Remix) – Sound Of Stereo
Earlier this year Dave Taylor released his first single since 2006, under self motivated alias ‘Switch’. Featuring the vocal talents of Andrea Martin, ‘I Still Love You’ is a sedated, weary affair that floats across minimal dub soundscapes, boasting a wealth of vocal ranges, harmonies and piercing yelps throughout. Signed to Overcooked Records, Leon Chase takes a deeper, dancier approach, adding heart warming crescendos and dark, sincere bass amidst layer upon layer of added percussion and vocal prowess. Hinting at RnB, but dedicated to the deeper, soulful side of dance. Soundcloud here.
Calski takes to the helm on C.R.S.T’s ‘Keep Holding On’. Solid, punchy bass is dotted with vocal snippets and sneaky piano rolls. Numbing melodies into a rolling, riddim heavy affair – one slightly less techy and snare bent as the original. Q-tip goes in hard with choked pads and tidy, thoughtful bottom end for all parts-a-da-partee from Disclosure. Subwoofers Required. Love and spec.
Considering the amount of genres, micro genres, sub genres, genres of genres and genres which have no position within the genre spectrum there are about today, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to find something to settle on. Luckily enough, bass weight Figure’s been been hard at work to create four minutes and ten seconds of pumped up, get the fuck up and and throw something out the window. Play nice, extra beef here.
In with the riddim ting. Monday murkups from Dr What & Marco Del Horno. What’s – ‘Badman’ is packed with solid, sub heavy funk, eerie whale calls and tropical steppa ruffneck. ‘Back to me’ cries for attention, drenching soul wrenched vocals in resonant, powerful synths amongst a hyped bank of breakstep percussions. Whatever way you start your week, let’s do it properly, yeah? Jump on them Soundclouds, show them some love. Peas.
