Here to prove it all works is though is the dapper gent, Duke Skellington. He’s on a mission to make sure L.A, and the world, are swinging to his beat with styles that include Future Swing, Swing House, Electro Swing and Swing and Glitch and it’s the latter of those where we’re heading with this bloc rocking party piece ‘The Genie(3 Wishes)’. Stacks of fun n filth to be found here!

Italian Disco supremo, Belabouche, has broken through the 6000 followers barrier on Soundcloud and justly deserved too. To say thanks for reaching that personnel landmark, he’s sending us fee music which comes on the shape of this groovin’ edit of ‘Notice Me’ by, Sandee. It’s deliciously deep and seducitve, but has plenty in the tank should you feel the need to strut your stuff and there’s a very good chance that’s gonna happen!

‘Take It For Real’ by Czech producer, MikkiM, is a tune that’s been out for a while now, but there’s no way in the world we miss this and not send it your way. The insanely upbeat vibe it kicks out in a Jungle stylee is so damn addictive and has had me raising my keyboard in the air while I chair skank to it’s infectious sound. Whether you like the Jungle vibe or not, you need this chunk of happiness in your lives!

It was way back in 2013 when the Scour Records crew first caught wind of the talents of, Captain Flatcap. Their ecelectic Vintage Swing, Funk, Ska, Gypsy, Folk sound was something that instantly struck a chord with the Scour guys and they knew at that point that this group of gents needed to be kept an eye on.

The eyes and ears were kept firmly tuned in to what the Captain Flatcap guys have been up to over the last few years and now in 2016, all parties have finally got together to deliver us some mighty fine music. This coming together is the first time for both and is the first time Scour Records have ever released an LP on their label.

Captain Flatcap’s LP is by far, one of the widest ranging of sounds we’ve ever encountered from a collection of music. Electro Swing is the guys staple sound and is one that you’ll find neatly woven into many of the tracks on the album. It’s a sound they’ve become super accomplished at, but the LP brings a whole lot more than their love of vintage beats. There’s a vast array of influences going down which include Glitch Hop, Breaks, Dubstep, Triphop, Drum n Bass, Ska, Funk, Folk and there’s even a healthy helping of Spanish guitar and Russian mandolin. If that wasn’t already enough, the Flatcap crew have collaborated with Too Many T’s, Great Scott, Isabel Drake and William Breakspear. That does sound like a lot to comprehend I admit, but don’t worry, it’s just music, music that surprises and delights every second it’s being played.

Throwback Thursday! #8 in our calendar sees me rewinding to over ten years ago. I think this is probably the third mixtape i ever made. It was the era of myspace and  i had it on my page for people to download and listen to. No Soundcloud then folks! I used a little site called mix.dj.

Back then I was only able to do about 4 demos a year due to the price of buying records. It got a lot of praise from my piers so I decided to send it into iDJ (now no longer in publication) for their Raw Talent Competition and it got featured! With so much encouragement I graduated from the bedroom to the club and got my first gig – as they say … the rest is history!

3 brand new tracks by Lucas on Top Drawer Digital. ‘Say Goodnight’ is a firey dark number drawing influence from the J-Tek sound of 2009 to a house tempo. ‘Close Your Eye’ treads a delicate line between darkness and light and has a warm psychedelic feel enhanced by the spoken sample. ‘Think Of Tomorrow’ closes the EP in a more experimental freeform way, a deep melody heavy track with haunting pianos and rolling breaks. A welcome return from Lucas

Lucas- Say Goodnight, Close Your eyes, Think Of Tomorrow
