‘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…
SPRG001 – DJ Shadow – Walkie Talkie (SPR All-Stars Remix) by Skanky Panky Records
Our man William Breakspear has released his debut single for Rocstar Recordings this week. Go cop it…
William Breakspear – Innovation – Link To Juno Download
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…
Latest Mixed Bizness recruit and Skanky Panky Records label head William Breakspear has dropped this storming DJ mix ahead of his debut EP for Rocstar Recordings. ‘Innovation’ featuring Credit To The Nation & Georgina Upton is released worldwide on July 4th but if you can’t wait that long we suggest you sit on your hands and let this mix keep you keen for now..

Not only is our man DJ Moneyshot rather adept at spinning the old wax, he’s proving to be quite consumate producer these days too. His beats may not come so fast but they do come thick and funky so it’s little surprise that he’s got two brand new tracks featured on Jalapeno’s new Jalapeno Funk Compilation. Released on 28th May, ‘Mellowdip Park’ features on the full release proper while the slam jamming ‘Rob Resurrected’ is exclusive to iTunes as a digital download…
Our boys Mia Dora, HaHaHa & Raksha have just released their new track, a collaborative effort called High Sheen for a new label of the same name. Released today, it’s available from all good retailers so get it…
Profisee has released his debut solo album this week and it’s worth getting excited about.
Featuring collaborations with Starkey, Neil Landstrumm, Dam Mantle, Ghislian Poirier, S-Type and more, ‘From All Angles’ is one of the best hip hop albums we’ve heard in a while. Don’t take our word for it though, just get to know.
Parker is back with the latest and greatest release on his very own Monkey Butler label. This time he’s laid down a bubblin, dubby house roller for us all. And he’s done it so well.
Available April 30th from all good music retailers.
Parker has released his second single on his hotly tipped Monkey Butler label and this time he’s upped the ante with a bass heavy, dubstep smasher that is sure fire to nice up every dance. Available digitally from all good music retailers, it keeps on him right on track as one of the main names to watch in this crazy year we call 2012.
Memory9 is set to make 2012 his own. His Black Dragon EP is the first release on Mnemonic Dojo and is all we need to hear to know that we want MORE. Bridging the gap between Juke and Dubstep, this prodigious bleep freak has re-imagined both in his typically unique and effective way. They also make the dance go buckwild and that’s what counts…
Our man in Milan, Memory9, is set to release his latest EP this week and to set the hype to over drive he’s recorded this fresh to death DJ mix. Mixed with typical style and precision, it’s 24 tracks deep and sets the pace perfectly for 2012.
Soosh has just released his second EP, this time for Dutch label Fremdtunes. On ‘SoFar’, Soosh expands his wonderful style of soulful, warm melodies and drops of clapping-sounds, soft percussion and vocal shreds. Soosh is in good company on his EP, with some fantastic remixes commissioned to seal the deal. London’s Greenwood Sharps and Dutch youngster Jameszoo both remix ‘Us’ in their own highly infectious manner while beat-miner Kelpe re-arranges and delightfully smoothes out ‘Speechless’. Finally, Sekuoia adds some washed out vibes to the digital release with his bonus remix of ‘Everything You Say’.
On February 11th we invited our good friends at Vitamins in Glasgow to help us throw as party. Ben UFO was there, Mosca was too. La Cheetah was place and this happened…
Hint likes to keep us on our toes. Not only has he just released his 3rd artist album but he’s also finished off his 4th, yes…4th, promo mix for this fantastic release. By now you know that he is a bad man behind the wheels and if you don’t then you’ve come to the right place…
Check this classic mix from DJ Moneyshot. We won’t bore, the man himself can do that for us…
Parker is set to release his second single on his hotly tipped Monkey Butler label and this time he’s upped the ante with a bass heavy, dubstep smasher that is sure fire to nice up every dance.

‘Golden Ratio’ the lead single from ‘From All Angles’, the forthcoming debut album from Profisee
Featuring collaborations with Starkey, Neil Landstrumm, Dam Mantle, Ghislian Poirier, S-Type and more, ‘From All Angles’ is released today.
‘From All Angles explores the search for balance amongst chaos, observes the beauty that exists around us, and appreciates the many qualities we already possess – the journey is the reward.’
The Allergies is the all-new production/DJ outfit from heavyweight disc jocks Rackabeat (Chai Wallahs) and DJ Moneyshot (Solid Steel). Drawing on such influences as Boca 45, Gramatik and RJD2, the pair aim to bring that vintage sound of sampled funk, psych, hip-hop and rock back to the forefront of club music. With remixes for Double Yellow (Tru Thoughts) on the way, and tracks lined up for a Riddim Fruit compilation, the duo can’t wait to gauge reactions to their new direction.
DJing live they take on two decks and efx, whipping through dope beats and funky breaks with skill and speed, looping on the fly and layering up acapellas to detonate dance floor dynamite. Expect an EP soon, and shows that breathe new life into the finest dusty old records. For now, get your mitts on this rework of a hip hop ultra classic…
This new mix from Boom Monk Ben is another club mix of deep, bass riddims, jacking house numbers, old school classics, unreleased exclusives and future anthems. Almost every one of the artists is playing a Mixed Bizness party at some point in 2012 and this mix sums up where Benny Boom is at just now. It starts off quite deep and wonky and slowly turns the screw as it goes, upping the jack factor before pulling out the classics to send them home.

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. Produced by Starkey, it’s a jump up, synth led, grime inflected banger with a sing-a-long hook you wish you’d written. It’s released today on digital and ltd 12″ through Abaga Records.
Hands in the air and prepare for the hold up!
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. Out now from all respectable music retailers.
Whitney is gone but not for…wait, what was I saying? Anyway, not that we are ever ones to jump on a band wagon, here’s a Whitney Houston remix for you. It’s just a cheeky little re-rub by our man of the moment Hint but like everything he does, he does it so well.
This is the first in a series of mixes Hint will be putting up in the run-up to of new album release on March 19th.
Mix 01 is a 55 min House mix. Mostly new and forthcoming releases, with an old classic thrown in too.

Parker, our brother in bass, launches his Monkey Butler label on this very day, with the first release coming from the man himself.
