Far Out are a trio from Odessa well established in the genre of Drum and Bass but also extend their talents to Breakbeat & Deep House. Since the first official EP, released on the label RUNE Recordings, their music has secured the support of The Crystal Method, and the ‘Hyper’ EP has risen to the 12th place among the best breaks releases of the Beatport store.

This mix is an official Promo Mix for the Rune label and features a selection of their varied work that has been made this year.

Just in case it has gone unnoticed, the summer has arrived here in the UK and if the weather leaves you questioning that fact, the arrival of Technique Recordings annual ‘Technique Summer 2017 Album‘ will have you in doubt that sunshine times are here! Just like every year, it’s a full on Drum n Bass fest and this album contains no less than 51 tracks and two DJ mixes from, Muffler.

The full spectrum of D n B is covered on this monumental album, from infinitely cool jazzy rollers, right through to the insane, tear-out monsters and all that lies inbetween. You can expect to hear music from newcomers to the label, T-Phonic & Deadman and from a number of D n B heavyweights such as Brookes Brothers, Tantrum Desire, Aquasky, Viper Recordings bosses, Matrix & Futurebound and Technique bosses, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, plus many, many more top draw producers from a scene that only seems to only get stronger. Make your summer one to remember by having ‘Technique Summer 2017′ as your soundtrack!

The playlist posted is in the process of being updated, but you can find all the tracks on the links just below.

What better way to blast open the doors to the weekend than with a brand new mix from Krafty Kuts! The Data Transmission crew sent out an invite to Krafty to feature in their ‘Mix Of The Day‘ mix series and he duly obliged and compiled one of his classic party starting mixes we become so accustomed too. For his new mix he has pulled together a selection previously unheard and exclusive material that sees him chop and change between Breaks, Bass House, D n B and Jungle with absolute ease and precision. This is Mr Kuts at his very best!

Krafty Kuts has also recently released a brand new album with his great friend, Dynamite MC. Unfortunately we’re unable to post it here as it’s not posted on a site with an embed link, but we can assure you that the 15 tracks of Hip Hop, Funk, Breaks, Grime and Future Funk on ‘All4Corners‘ are at a mind-blowing level and it’s a superb follow on from his previous albums ‘Freak Show‘ and ‘Lets Ride‘. You can listen and purchase the album here from : Beatport / iTunes

It’s another choc-o-bloc summer of gigs for Krafty, so to see what festivals and other parties he’s playing at CLICK HERE.

As I type, there’s an election going down here in the UK, so here’s a little something to break up the monotony of all that politics talk that has gotten to be a little bit out of control. It’s volume 2 of last years ‘Bring On The Brass‘, which was a mix by myself and was part of a free CD giveaway here on LSM. I’ve taken the reigns of volume 2 again and I’m once again sending out a celebration of brass in the tracks I’ve chosen which, in my mind, always adds that extra spark to music.

Last years mix was a Ghetto Funk fest, but this time around it’s a Funk/Disco approach with my mind on the time of year it is too, so the summery vibes are there in full effect. There will be a CD giveaway of this mix again towards the end of July but for now, I hope you enjoy listening to this mix as much as I did putting it together.

Her most recent offering ‘Give It Up‘ comes as part of Breakbeat Paradise’s ‘Power Hour Free Download‘ series and what a stunner it is! This deep and ridiculously funky slice of Glitch Hop samples the legendary, Barry White, which definitely adds to the lush, bassy and groove heavy sounds Megan is providing this time around. Snap it up folks!

As I mentioned above, Megan is a busy lady when it comes to music and in the early part of this year she released her amazing debut album ‘Photosynthetic‘ with her funky brothers, The Bermudas. It features 10 tracks that puts on show the production and vocal skills Megan possess and the funkiness only The Bermudas can bring. The resulting tracks are a melting pot of Glitch Hop, Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk and Future Funk influences, which means there’s a little something for everyone. Check the album below where you’ll find links on how to make it yours.

The music doesn’t stop there folks because there is now a remix album of ‘Photosynthetic’! The tracks on this album are being released individually and 7 out the 10 tracks have been released thus far. There’s already plenty of tasty treats to be found on this album and we’re sure the other 3 will be just as heavy. Links to get at the remixed album are below. There’s quality music everywhere here and we love it!

From the Great Plains of Canada comes Dunmore Park with their new EP ‘For The Forest’ on Supremus

The Deep Tech dive begins with ‘The Whistle’featuring vocals from Piper Davis and dubby rerub from Pezzner. Street Drummer’showcases the scope and talent of Dunmore Park through some first class production. Then comes our fave ‘That Conga Track’, a full on measure of tribal drums and driving beats with the pedal firmly down. Like the sounds of the forest coming alive in a club near you, this is truly awesome.

Dunmore Park – For The Forest EP (Supremus)

About a month ago, the incredibly reliable crew over at, Gouranga, had the pleasure to send everyone’s way this amazing Disco edit of Ian Dury And The Blockheads ‘Wake Up‘ by, Dicky Trisco. It’s an edit that was released about a month ago now to coincide with Ian Dury’s birthday because like so many others around the world, Discky Trisco views him as an absolute legend. We agree with him and we’re very much agreeing with his super catchy edit. Great energy, great tempo, great work!

The last time Canadian DJ/producer, Spiltmilk was here on the ward, he blew our minds with his Acid infused Disco EP ‘Freak The World‘. This time around he’s blowing our minds once again, firstly with just under 70 minutes of cosmic, sensual and down right funky Disco in his new mix ‘Crusin‘. If ever there was a mix suited for a road trip, this is it!

The second helping of mind blowing action comes our way with 2 new tracks that have been released on Spiltmilk’s own label, MSLX Recordings. Springbok Records bossman, Stephane Deschezeaux, provides a cool 80’s twist to his supa-groover remix of ‘On The Dot‘ by, Spiltmilk & Toffa. The second track sees Spiltmilk team up with his good friend, Zel, for their sleazy Disco chugger ‘Lets Go!‘ which is packed with attitude and is also a free download (Get It Here). Great sounds from a number of very talented artists. Be sure to get to know them all.

Both tracks can be purchased digitally or on vinyl here from Bandcamp.

You can expect to hear only the finest Disco music when checking out what Swedish producer, Disco Tech, has to offer. He’s built up quite a following due to his fresh approach to a genre that provides more shoulder shimmying action than any other out there. He has quite a selection of tracks and mixes over on his Soundcloud page that cover varying styles of Disco. You can find deep and lush Slo-Mo as well as at the opposite end of the scale, full on sparkly floor fillers.

You will also come across some stunning midtempo groovers like this rework of his of Frankie Vallie’s 1978 smash hit ‘Grease‘. It was originally released back in 2011 but the decision was made to remaster it so that it now sounds slicker than ever! If Disco is your thang, you’re gonna love this rework and the sounds of, Disco Tech.

Download Disco Tech’s rework here via The Artist Union.
