While the rest of us are boiling the kettle to pour on our windscreens every morning, breaking out the mittens and thermal cacks, DJ Ai-va has his mind firmly set on summer and who can blame him. British winters are b******! I’m sure Latvian ones aren’t much better but this man’s straight up Irie, copping a monitor suntan in his studio. Check the links below for some winter, reggae, mash-up, heat on this cold winters evening:

What a way to start the new year!

Pure ghetto-funkin' madness from @mr-rich-and-the-caretaker! Toe tappin', rump shakin', somersaultin' fun from start to finish : )

With a series of slick mixes and beefy edits, and signed up by @relativedimensions, 2014 was a busy year from these two DJs from the South West, and there's no sign of things slowing down with the promise of an EP in the pipeline...watch this space...

First time visit on the ward for Northern Irish dj / producer, Pyperb. Although a fan of most electronic dance music, Nu Disco is the one that takes his interest to the next level.

After recently celebrating his signing to Positiva Records, Kid Creme has released this remix of ‘ Sugarman ‘ by Rodriguez. If you’ve been to see Kid Creme play out then you may well notice this track as it’s been a mainstay in his sets for a while. For those that haven’t heard it’s a House track full of friendly happy vibes and one that’ll have the shufflers shuffling and the groovers getting their groove on! Very pleasant indeed!

Sankuh – Stronger Than You EP [MFR Records]

Australian duo, The Manuel Portio, have a really sweet remix for our ears here. It’s that classic ‘ Music Sounds Better With You ‘ by Stardust and now with a wobbly deep Bass House remix. This will evoke memories of great times from the past whist also giving you a new sound for you to have a shimmy to. Nice work!
