The last Headset Heroes mix went off with a bang ! They are back again with some booty shaking beats and warehouse basslines with a new mix called Bam! Smack! Pow! Enjoy!

Here with another introduction as to just how funky his bones are is our Dutch friend, Ronny Hammond. For this visit he’s giving away his slick Funky Breaks mashup of ‘God Made Me Phunky’ by, MD Express feat. Mike Dunn and Funk Inc’s ‘Bowlegs’ and the outcome is a tune that’s cooler than a polar bear’s larder. Expectations are always high when new music from Ronny arrives and those expectations are met with complete ease every single time. God definitely made him phunky!

We’re bringing you music all the way from Argentina in this post and joining us here within the walls of the LSM HQ for the first time is Phunktastike. He is widely regarded as the first Argentinian producer to experiment with the Nu-Disco sound and it has proved to have been a very good choice to do so. Phunktastike has had many of his tracks released on many top Disco labels and he can be found regularly spinning tunes in the clubs of Buenos Aires. Back in 2009 he founded his own label, Spirit Soul Music, which has itself gone to have several top 100 releases on Beatport’s Indie Dance/Nu-Disco charts.

The best introduction to any new artist here on the ward is of course their music and Phunktastike’s extremely funky edit of Instant Funk’s 80’s jam ‘(Just Becasue) You’ll Be Mine’ is the one that has been chosen to get your attention and you wanting to hear more from this top producer. There’s plenty to find to, so make this tasty edit yours and then go find some more.

For the third year running I headed to Stockport (UK) on our August bank holiday to the awesome, Moovin Festival. This cracking little festival is one that I highly recommend and to find out more about it, you can read a review I did of it in 2015 when you *Click Here*.

Before you do that though, get this mix from Steve Thorpe downloaded so as your reading is accompanied by a damn fine soundtrack. Steve closed the Boombox stage on Sunday night and as I’ve seen him DJ several times now, I knew something special was gonna go down and so did a lot of other people judging by how many turned up to see him play. With the tent over flowing with people who wanted to end the weekend on a real high, Steve stepped up and delivered a blinding set that was heavy with Breaks and a touch of Acid House and Techno to boot. All of us left wanting more but as is the way with life, all good things must come to an end, so we all wandered off back to our tents with big smiles on our faces safe in the knowledge we’d ended an amazing weekend the right way by dancing our socks off!

Stanton Warriors ‘Colima’ has already been getting it’s fair share of air time, appearing on radio shows and featuring heavily in there sets where it has set dance floors on fire! ‘Colima’ bangs hard and the energy it gives off is of the highly addictive variety. The sweet lick of horns that find their way into the intro and pop up later on, are an excellent addition and they definitely give it that extra spark. Quality assured music from the Stantons as standard!

When you take into consideration the amount of time both Krafty Kuts and BombStrikes have been going, and then add in the flavour of music both of them release, you’ll be well excused for sitting there scratching your heads as you wonder how they’ve not worked together before. There’ll be reasons for sure but whatever they were, they can now be forgotten about forever as we send your way Krafty’s debut EP ‘Back To Flow’ which has been recently released on BomStrikes.

The 2 tracks featured on the EP ‘Back To Flow’ and ‘Get So Ill’ are a pair of pure thoroughbred 110 bangers and they’ve already been used to cause plenty of mayhem at parties where Krafty Kuts has been doing his thang. There’s a lot of love here on LSM for both Krafty and BombStrikes, so to hear that there’ll be more music coming from this winning combo in the future makes us very, very happy! Now go land yourself those tunes folks and keep on funkin’!
