Also, check out this interview with the man himself courtesy of The Skinny Magazine…
Alas, the summer is coming to an end but hurrah, the clubbing season is just about to kick back into action. As many of you will know we will be relaunching the Mixed Bizness Thursdays at Glasgow School of Art on September 16th complete with four brand spanking new resident DJs alongside Benny Boom. As well as the Monk with the Funk, you can expect your heads and feet to be turned inside out by MGCK, Point To C, NoFace and Djamba on the regular. As four of Scotland’s very best young DJs we are more than happy to have them on our team. They all have their own unique styles that compliment each other and us perfectly.
To get the anticipation sky high, Djamba has recorded this tasty wee mix of grimey, funky, garagey, housey bizzle to get your gun fingers up high and backsides shaking down low.

Hint - Gallop Track (Link To Soundcloud) - Free Download!
August 30th sees the newest release from Hint on Tru Thoughts…
“Beryllium”, in conjunction with Soundcloud, features three new tracks (including Gallop Track, which is available worldwide as a free download for a limited period) plus two brand new beats for a vocalist competition, the winner of which will get a worldwide release on Tru Thoughts.
The lead track, “Give It Up” channels the summer sounds currently being given a fresh lick of paint by the likes of Dam Funk and Onra - 80s electro, disco and boogie. Lightning bolt synth stabs are applied to perfectly rounded bass line melodies with Honor Roll Crew’s Josie Stingray and 1-O.A.K raising the temperature to steaming HOT.
“Pretty Stable” is halfway between DJ Zinc’s self-coined Crack House genre and the UK Funky flavours that are rocking dancefloors nationwide. “Gallop Track” is a tough house roller with massive drops. All the tracks are made/composed from scratch with no samples, with Hint playing every part.
For the competition Tru Thoughts have uploaded parts for two new cuts to Soundcloud for entrants to download and add their own vocals. The initial judging will be done by Hint and Tru Thoughts A&R Robert Luis, with the final ten tracks also being judged by Quantic, Alice Russell, The Bamboos and Belleruche, all leading to the exciting prize for the winning vocalist of a worldwide release with Hint on Tru Thoughts.

Our man DJ Moneyshot is known for his prolific mixtape output for Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel radio so he’s no stranger to laying down the cuts for our listening pleasure. Having graced us with a mix every month since what seems like time began, he’s somehow managed to get even busier in recent weeks.
He has just finished a whole heap of mixes for hipster sportswear label Puma. 15 in total as it happens. Celebrating the sounds of the 70s and 80s, Moneyshot has taken the spirit of Puma’s retro range and flipped it into mixtape form for us all to listen to. As usual they are mixed tighter than your mum’s pyjamas on the weekend and the tunes are spot on as standard. Ranging from the best of the 70s megamixed to chillin 80s hip hop, they’re an amazing look back at some of the best music the decades had to offer. Check out them all and you won’t be disappointed…

A La Fu has taken their recent single ‘Bombs Anthem’ and given his own twist, flipping tribal drums, wonky synths and deconstructed melodies in our faces, leaving us with one of the best pieces of music we have had the privelege to give away on this here blog. Don’t believe us? Get involved and then we’ll see what’s up…

Goodgroove Records’ DJ-P is becoming a regular fixture on these pages. With waresi-need-air-djps-dubfunk-refix-110-140-edit like this to peddle, who are we to stand in his way? He’s known to take the odd electronic battle weapon and give it some slo-mo fat beat 110bpm treatment to devastating effect. This time is no different as he takes Magnetic Man’s massive ‘I Need Air’ and twists it into a head nodding beat freak anthem that is bound to become a Mixed Bizness classic over the coming months.

The Revenge is one of our best friends and it’s been amazing to see him blow up big in the game these last 12 months. He’s doing it like never before and we are always happy to see our family do so well. For someone with such talent and profile it’s a surprise he does not play in our home town of Glasgow more often.

One of our recent friendly acquisitions took place to the fantastic Rockness Festival in Inverness, where our main man Benny Boom was spinning those parry platters for the kids that matter. We met for the first time a like minded soul who’s been pushing his own brand of electronic bassness around Glasgow for the last year or so. Paul MacQueen aka PMCQ has been running the successful Muck nights in Glasgow and has brought the likes of Strip Steve and Malente to throbbing dance floors in our fair city. Of course no successful club night can exist without quality residents and PMCQ is just that. Here’s a summer lovin mini mix for you to check out in case you date question such beliefs…
