ben — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:06:51 +0000

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 - Free Download & Remix Competition

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.

Lucha Libre - Tag Team Mix

ben — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:54:03 +0000

Residing in Glasgow we are rarely short of quality DJ mixes to run down the batteries in our boom boxes. Whether it’s our own Benny Boom, Point To C, NoFace or MGCK or the likes of Numbers’ Jackmaster, Ali Ooft & The Revenge or Optimo, we don’t have to look far to keep our inspiration high. Still, it’s always a pleasure when something comes out of nowhere to remind you that no matter how well you know your own scene there’s still much more to be heard.

Just this morning we received this mix from a mysterious DJ duo known only as Lucha Libre. These two masked avengers clearly know their party styles as they mix up all manner of UK funky, dubstep, house and ragga garage for the masses. At the moment that’s all we know about them but based on this effort we’re sure to find out a whole lot more…

DJ Moneyshot’s Rewind Forward Mix Series

ben — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:28:22 +0000

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…

Infesticons - Bombs Anthem - (A La Fu’s Ban The Bomb Remix) - Free Download!

ben — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:05:10 +0000

Our man A La Fu is one of the very best DJs going. He’s spun the wax to make your hands clap for Roots Manuva, Scratch Perverts and Def Jux as well as toured the globe with his precision cuts, air tight mixes and crates of dance floor dynamite. As part time resident for our How’s Your Party? club nights we’ve all been treated to his inspiring DJ sets on the regular but recently recording commitments have taken priority and we have missed his styles more often than not. He’s back with a special treat to make up for lost time though with this free giveaway.

Infesticons are Creature, Seraphim, Juice Aleem and Mike Ladd and have been making some of the finest underground hip hop going in recent years. Their recent ‘Bedford Park’ LP for Big Dada has reminded us all that thoughtful, intelligent hip hop still has a place in today’s mad-cap world. It’s an album everyone should check.

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…
