Today sees the release of the much anticipated ‘Adzuki Beans’ EP for Tighten Up Records today from our very own HaHaHa. It’s been smashing up DJ sets across the globe, thanks to the stellar supporting cast of DJs that have been behind these three tracks of ballistic dance floor dynamism from the start. Big thanks to Kavsrave, A1 Bassline and the rest of the Tighten Up team. Go get it now if you know what’s good for you…
‘Tidily raved-up Tech-House from Glasgow’s Frazer Graham aka HaHaHa. His debut release under this title (he’s also the drummer in Vendor Defender), cuts from staggered dub-chord-driven Funky-Tech on ‘Adzuki Beans’, to more bendy, Kwaito-referencing House on ‘Burka’s Palace’ and dynamic, tweaking electro synths on ‘Dadun Dadun’.

Our best of friends over at Skanky Panky Records never stop treating us right. When they’re not dishing up tasty beats for us to sample on the label, they’re cooking up cheeky remixes ands bootlegs to keep us keen until the next release is ready for consumption. This time they’ve taken DJ Shadow’s classic ‘Walkie Talkie’ and given it the SPR Allstar treatment courtesy of sixAM and William Breakspear. A classic reborn…
Label chief of Spanky Panky Records and a pretty mean producer as well, William Breakspear marks himself out as the bard of breakbeat on this new release for Cut La Roc’s Rocstar label. With 90s UK hip-hop stars Credit To The Nation leading the rhyme charge, WB cooks up a swaggering, rock-influenced beat while singer Georgina Upton drops a teasing chorus that fits in perfectly amid the hyped verses and souped-up breaks. Truly kick-ass stuff, and a perfect addition to Rocstar’s dependable catalogue. Juno Review
Parker is at it again and just in time for the weekend. It’s simple really, take the UK’s very best producer of beat, breaks and bass and leave him alone for a while and we’ll all get treated to a summer swinging drum and bass bad boy. That’s really all you need to know…

For now you can indulge yourself by grabbing as many of his free downloads as your bandwidth will allow. You won’t be disappointed so dive on in and get familiar…
Our big boss man Benny Boom is back in the saddle for Solid Steel with a new and exclusive mix of fairly new, really new and unreleased tracks that have been spinning in his sets recently. They all go down well and were yet to feature in his mixes, so he brought them all together and gave them a home.

Two bonafide legends of music are collaborating for the first time to bring us a joint show that surely will not be forgotten. Hip hop impresario Pete Rock and jazz overlord Roy Ayers will come together on stage to treat our ears to exciting renditions of Roy’s most celebrated hits – Everybody Loves the Sunshine, We Live In Brooklyn and many others – with Pete Rock sampling Roy’s music and adding more hip hop flavor with his beats and rhymes. This is truly a meeting of minds, a show not to be missed, as it is history in the making and re-making in front of your eyes.
As a special offer, exclusive to the Mixed Bizness party people, you can treat yourselves to buy one, get one half price. All you have to do is buy your tickets in person from the ABC Box Office in Glasgow, quoting the password ‘Mixed Bizness’ and you’ll be good to go…
Parker, our brother in bass, is set to launch his Monkey Butler label on February 13th with the first release coming from the man himself. Featuring long time collaborator Sarah Scott, he’s come correct with some future bass soul, the likes of which you’ve never heard. It’s sexy but tough, like the best Valentines Days. Check the preview and get to know. Pre-orders available from the links below…
Fremdtunes release their See-A-Sound compilation today. Featuring tracks from our own Soosh and the likes of Kelpe & Coco Bryce, you know it’s worth getting involved in. Check out the snippets and do the right thing…
Mr Benn is beginning 2012 in the only way he knows how. With a dancehall skank. He’s flipped the new Monkey Mafia single into a digital bounce off, just how we like it…
Soosh is our latest recruit and one of many of our names to watch in 2012. To get familiar with his styles, here’s a DJ mix he recorded late 2011 for Habitat events in Italy. It’s chilled, moody and enveloping. Just how we like our music when Soosh is handing it out.
Our main man and resident MC Profisee is set for a massive year. His album ‘From All Angles’ is set to drop and features collaborations with Neil Landstrumm, S-Type, Dam Mantle, AK Kids, Poirier, Nasty P, Scharkz and Dems. Yep, it’s sounding big but that should come as no surprise. Before the LP comes your way you can get your hands on this future anthem from all good record stores. It’s a jump up, synth led, grime inflected banger with a sing-a-long hook you wish you’d written. It’s released on digital and ltd 12″ on February 20th through Abaga Records.
Hint has a new video! This is the first single to be lifted from the Hint album ‘Daily Intake’, available on ltd edition 10” on 30th January 2012. ‘Daily Intake’ is available from 19th March 2012

Mungo’s Hi-Fi get about a bit. That much we know. In October 2011 they paid New York City a visit and took it by storm. What else did they expect? It’s 47 minutes of serious dub pressure featuring nothing but Mungo’s cuts from beginning to end with exclusives, unreleased skankers and all those deep bass rumblers we know and love…
2012 is gearing up to me Hint’s year. His new album is set to drop on Tru Thoughts in March and from what we’ve heard so far, it’s his biggest and best yet. The first release to come from his 3rd long player will be a double A-side 10″ featuring two tracks of extreme dance floor bizness. Featuring the dancehall stylings of Kingston’s Natalie Storm and butter flow of Houston’s Fly-T, it’s the perfect way to kick things off in a new year. The vinyl is out on 30th January and the digital release follows on February 20th featuring remixes from Maddslinky, Belleruche, Lanu, Darq E Freaker, Hidden Orchestra and Hint himself. They’re kept under wraps for now but here’s a preview of the main event to keep you guessing…
We keep them coming from DJ Moneyshot today with another jaw dropping DJ mix to get down and all the way round with. The good people at the Ninja Mix Dump asked him to do a mashup of some of his best mixes for their mixmas special, here’s the results. Ultimate mixtape, much?
DJ Moneyshot digs [...]
In 2011 our man DJ Moneyshot gets around. Last year he hooked up with the party starting Chai Wallahs crew and did the rounds of every major UK festival over the summer. Highlights were smashing a 2000 person tent at Green Man while masses of kids climbed the poles and went bezerk and killing it to the max at Beach Break Festival. Check out the video to see how they do and get ready for more of the same in 2012…
Ok, we know…SoundCloud isn’t anything new and everyone in the Mixed Bizness crew has had one for time but we figured we might as well get a collective on the go so you can keep tabs on us all in one handy place. Check it out for official releases, remixes, exclusive previews and free downloads from all our artists.
Mia Dora are the latest addition to our ever expanding family of artists. 2012 is set to be a big year for them with their debut release on new label High Sheen already making waves amongst the dance floor elite. We’ve not only booked them alongside The 2 Bears and Disclosure for a set at out next HYP? event at Sub Club, but we have also enlisted them to record this epic promo mix to get the juices flowing in anticipation. It’s 38 tracks deep and goes this way then that. We couldn’t have hoped for a better way to start 2012. Let’s go…
Our friends at LuckyMe have been busy spreading festive cheer throughout December with their goodie laden musical advent calendar. This week saw our man S-Type get involved with a typically fizzing beat entitled ‘Bairns’. It’s a big one so stick in your stockings and pop some corks….

Check out this fresh DJ mix from Benny Boom to get you bubbling ahead of time…
It’s been in the offing for a while now but as promised, here’s Parker’s remix of the Bjork classic ‘Venus As A Boy’. It’s a bass heavy grizzler that keeps it tasteful but pulls no punches. Get your download on…
Is it that time of year already?! Yes, yes it is! Our main man DJ Cheeba has been locked in his DJ dungeon for what seems like an eternity, working hard on his all new audio visual mixtape. Unsurprisingly it’s not far off being the best thing ever. Yeah, we said it. What of it?!
Our man on the ragga front line Mr Benn has whipped up this bass heavy 110bpm roller of a remix for Dresden’s Jazz K. Lipa. It’s bumps along in his usual party starting style. You know you’re in safe hands with Mr Benn. It’s out now so do the right ting…
Check out this rocking mix from the Dirty Dubsters with live MC action & a selection of un-released tracks coming up soon on Irish Moss records. It’s a fresh exclusive for the Bodytonic Podcast series but we thought we’d help spread the word. Get ‘pon the download now…
With the British Isles celebrating Bonfire Night, (the occasion of a failed attempt to blow the timbers off the House of Lords, and explode King James I), our very own DJ Moneyshot observes this historic date with a themed mixtape fit to bursting with incendiary songs celebrating civil unrest. Before the Rozzers turn up we [...]
This week is an exciting week. Our HYP? residency at Glasgow’s famous Sub Club reaches the ripe old age of 4 years old. During that time we have welcomed a mammoth list of DJs and live acts for your musical entertainment and had a lot of fun along the way. From Chromeo to Fake Blood, Toddla T to Mary Anne Hobbs, we’ve kept them coming and you’ve shown nuff love as we go.
This month we’ve invited Glasgow’s renegade party starting crew Vitamins to throw a birthday bash in our honour. They’ve pulled out all the stops with a triple bill that’s sure to get you frothing at the mouth. Seiji, Objekt and Lando Kal will be jetting in to jam it down but for now we have one half of the Vitamins DJ crew, Shaun Fae Solar, with a live mix recorded recently on Subcity Radio to keep you keen. Get involved and see you at HYP X Vitamins - 4th Birthday Halloween Bashup.
Parker is at it again and just in time for the weekend. It’s simple really, take the UK’s very best producer of beat, breaks and bass and leave him alone for a while and we’ll all get treated to a summer swinging drum and bass bad boy. That’s really all you need to know…
