If you’re hosting a party or playing at a party this weekend, this stupendous House edit of Edwin Starr’s ‘War’ from Low Steppa is one you need to keep to hand because you can be sure that when you drop it, every single person in attendance will go nuts! This one kicks super hard and it’s difficult to imagine how anymore of those ‘party time vibes’ could possibly be squeezed into it. Dance floor fyah!

We’re as excited as a one eyed dog in a meat factory right now because we’re welcoming The Beat-Pimp (UK) to the LSM team! Based in Sunderland, The Beat-Pimp has been rolling out a number of mixes that have caught our attention on numerous occasions and because they’re heavily laced with Funk, it was a no brainer to send out our trusty carrier pigeon to his home with the invite attached firmly to it. In no time at all the pigeon returned with bells on it and a reply saying ‘YES’. So from now on you can expect a mix from The Beat-Pimp every six weeks or so that we’ll be bringing to you exclusively here on the ward. His mixes will feature most of the Funky Breaks, Glitch Hop, Funky D n B and the like we post here on the blog and also a few gems he’s picked up himself.

So without further a-do, we present the first mix from The Beat-Pimp which contains an hours worth of Bass Funkin’ beats and Breaks. Enjoy ladies and gents!

Download The Beat-Pimp’s (UK) mix here from our Hearthis page.

It’s been quite a while since we’ve brought you music from Arteo on his own. We’ve featured him before dropping some Funk heavy, bass filled tunes with his good buddy Dub:ra, but with his solo tune ‘You’ll Never Know’, Arteo is serving up a suave, smooth and sophisticated slice of Funky Breaks. We must simply doth our caps to this fine fellow’s work and head for a merry jaunt on a floor for dancing at once! See you there…

Love classic rolling US style Garage? Well, you’re gonna love this EP by Upswing Project on Hustler Trax. We’re not talking dusty vinyls from the 90s here (not that there’s anything wrong with them!). No, we’re talking about 4 chilled, melodic, and soulful grooves lovingly crafted in the 92-96 era Garage sound.

In fact, Upswing Project is an alias for the talented House music/aficionado, Alex Agore. Alex spoils us here with some purist dubby Garage rhythms that will bring a huge smile to your face

Our Favourite Track:

‘Raw Groove Four’, A nice chunky Garage tune that would fit perfectly in a Karl ‘Tuff Enuf’ brown DJ set

Our good friend Glowkid DJ’ed at This year’s Old Skool Festival in Lodz, Poland. You can read the interview where he talks about the event and some of his favourite tunes and artist right now over at Strictly NuSkool Blog.

A few highlights from the interview:

Favourite Event:

Definitely that was Old Skool Festival 2016. None of us can ever forget our first gig or any other big gig that you are involved with in the past, but I’d say without any second thought that Old Skool Festival is my biggest gig and booking at the moment till the next bigger thing of course!

Favourite Oldskool Artists:

Hard to say but I’d pick without any particular order, Luna-C (crazy ideas, innovative stylee), Altern-8 (apart from the EPs & remixes they were kinda Sex Pistols in the scene. One and only official album release but their “Full on Mask Hysteria” is still a Bible to us all and showed the way to the others) and finally Moby (nothing can beat his 1990 – mid 90’s oldskool techno stuff. Genius of an artist by all means!)

Favourite Oldskool Tunes:

“Rachel Wallace – Tell Me Why”
“Jimmy J & Cru-L-T – Six Days On The Run”
“Westbam – Celebration Generation”

Current Favourite Hardcore/NuSkool Breaks Tracks:

“Paul Cronin – Kim K‘ Boobs Out [RAVESKOOL]”

“DJCRIP – Rock Me Steady”

“Insane & Mind – Open Up Your Heart [HOH]”

Blackout continue their global search for the next “everyman” DnB producer and  in Rido they’ve found an absolute gem. Friction has picked up on “Fade Away”, battering it on his BBC Radio 1 show, and many other DnB luminaries are jumping on
the Rido train for good reason.
Having cut his teeth on a number of high-profile labels such as Subtitles, Viper, Hospital and Metalheadz to name a few, Rido’s stock is set to rise stratospherically with this well-constructed and honestly- conceived long player, “Rhythm Of Life”.

The origin of the word Rido comes from clan conflict in the Philippines, and whether or not that was the inspiration behind the moniker, the sentiment is strong and true across this debut album offering. Packed full of tough beats and scintillating basslines punctuated with vocal excerpts is a delight for and assault on the senses in equal measure.
Reflective, personal, intelligent – these are all words we can easily associate with the Czech DJ as he effortlessly zips from one high-octane dance floor killer to another. Whether it’s the rave-inspired, euphoric sound of “Thursday Funk” or the straight up and down toughness of “Movin”, there’s a little something for everyone inside

The Caduceus EP by Shannon Davin is out now via Census Sound Recordings. Featuring 2 tracks ‘Caduceus’ and ‘Purifier’ remixes by Dopamine and Alan Cross.

The Sri Lankan artist gives us a taste of his intricate dark progressive techno sound great for dancing to, and great for home consumption too.

Dopamine remixes ‘Caduceus’ to the tone and style of swirling late night Tech House while Alan Cross transports us to the terraces of Ibiza with his take on ‘Purifier’. All in all, a solid EP for ratcheting up the atmosphere in your sets!!!

I’ve been writing blog posts for over 5 years out of my love and passion for free. If you wanna throw me a few quid to help keep me writing, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.me/TariqZiyad
