This relatively hard to find mix was given away for free with the February issue of Mixmag in 2001 and comes directly from my CD collection. Entitled “Mixmag Presents Elastic Breaks – The Sound Of Breakbeat mixed by the Plump Djs” it was one sort after mix at the time and one that was on high rotation in my CD player. This mix pretty much launched the careers of the Plump DJs and gained them more of a following on a global scale.

The Noisily Festival of Music and Arts is one that I’ve heard plenty about and each and every person that I’ve spoke to about it absolutely loves it there! It’s one I’ve not been to yet but because of the positive words I’ve heard, it’s one that’s top of my list to attend. There’s loads of styles of music on offer and after seeing pictures of it, the festival setting in rural Leicestershire looks beautiful.

With Bass, Glitch, Breaks, House, Psy-Trance and Disco all to be found, Noisily’s mainstay is Progressive Techno and what a helping we have of that for you from the mighty, Neurodriver. He took to the ‘Noisily Stage’ on the Saturday night for the final set of the night and I’m almost certain that all in attendance would have had one of the best 86 minutes of their lives ever! I’ve certainly enjoyed soaking up the spine tingling sounds and for the rest of you that wasn’t there to experience it like me, just press play and then hit the download link to make it yours forever.

Pablo del Monte joins the Harmonious Discord with two solid outings of Deep Tech House elegance plus remixes by Litex and Jeff Scroggin Following a string of crowd pleasing releases for labels like Lupe Fuente’s In The Loop and Pablo’s own East Recordings, the acclaimed London DJ & producer features on Texas label, Harmonious Discord for the first time, combining his own distinct style with the oldskool infused ethos of the label. Litek brings a whole new dimension to an already great title track with his own tasteful remix as does Jeff Scroggin with his dub version of the original.

‘Stay All Night’ featuring vocals by LaVoyce echoes classics like Kosheen ‘Hide U’, a grand canvas of minimal yet striking chords and the impassioned voice that brings an authoritative touch. This powerful track walks the tightrope between Tech, Deep and Progressive House with seamless dexterity.

In the golden era of dance music, the B Side was always as good as the A side and ‘Emperor’ serves as the equivalent to a great B side, taking us further into the deep blue strobe lights and deep into a long night of dancing.

Pablo del Monte – Stay All Night
