Petko Turner is a producer who makes high calibre music and since we discovered his work, it’s been a mainly Disco influenced affair. For his latest piece of work though he’s headed off down a different route altogether with this superb broken beat edit of ‘Try Again’ by, Aaliyah. The dusty Big Beat vibe that accompanies Aaliyah’s stunning vocal is a joy to behold and it’s all yours for free. Go get it!

‘Mother Knows Best 4′ on Mother Recordings kicks off in a most resounding manner with the buoyant beats of Robosonic & KlangKuenstler ‘Nuts’, a thumping rendition with a sanguine disco lead hook. This one will go down well with fans of imprints the likes of Simma Black

Birdhouse ‘OMG’ grabs your attention not just because of the unforgettable vocal sample. The rising constitution of 8 bar synths, crunching beats and whiplash/cowbells is just as attention grabbing!!

Rodriguez & Gabriel Sordo construct a recondite expedition through the dusty roads of Latin America with the hypnotic chords of ‘Camino Largo’, a great crowd warmer.

Thabo Getsome asks ‘Where The Party At’ for track four of ‘Mother Knows Best 4′ incorporating eerie off the wall Jazz sounds, the kind that once graced Hip Hop in it’s golden age and are now utilised by the likes of Greco and others.

Andromo gets to wrap things up with ‘State Of Mind’, a rugged dubby track in the style of Lupe Fuentes & Black Girl // White Girl. A tidy way to round up this essential compilation. Mother definitely knows best!!!

The ‘All About Love EP’ by Fancy Inc is out on Warung Records with bonus track ‘Run To My House’ and title track remixes from Rich Wakley & A Lister

The title track carries an ignitable armoury of powerful funky synths, familiar samples that create an instant attachment, and a main hook that sits ‘All About Love’ in that lofty position with House music’s finest tracks of the decades. A Lister sails the title track into techier waters going for an ensemble of cowbells, Rave/Techno riffs and marching beats. Rich Wakley adds that touch of class he is renowned for with a remix that stands defiantly between the borders of House & Techno

Bonus track ‘Run To My House’ makes for a highly effective call to action. The beats hit satisfyingly hard with rugged synths to match, there’s so much to love about the  ‘All About Love EP’ by Fancy Inc!!!

After receiving a request for this edit of Bah Samba‘s ‘Let The Drums Speak’, which featured in his set at a party in Barcelona last year, Dj XS decided it was time to share it with everyone. His touch on the original has it shining bright and with the positive and poignant message provided by Bah Samba, it’s a slice of feel good House music you need to hand when the chips are down. What a stunner!

To make your day even better, below you’ll find a new 2 hour Funk and Soul mix from Dj XS and he’s got that feel good factor flowing freely once more with the a fine selection of music. If this mix isn’t perfect for a weekend afternoon, I don’t know what is. Tuck in and love it like I do.

This week in the Armory Podcast we have the up and coming talent of Aurbs. With recent signings to the Punks Music label he is one to watch out for in the near future.

Hailing from the South-West UK, 20-year-old, Cam Mussell, has continued to venture further into his musical career with no limitations or restrictions for genre or style. From working behind the scenes with video game and film composition, leading to licensing to the likes of Google and Walt Disney, scoring indie short films and ghostwriting for several mainstream artists and rappers, Aurbs continues to broaden his horizons with his next creative step.

2016 saw Aurbs joining Stanton Warriors’ imprint, Punks Music, touring around festivals and club nights across the UK, overseeing and providing visual designs for the Punks family and other members of the UK Bass scene, and working alongside Punks management to grow the label as a whole.

After very recently checking out the work by Serbian Drum n Bass/Jungle producer, Rahmanee, it’s clear that he really knows what he’s doing. There’s a great selection of D n B styles to be found in the music he makes and his most recent free tune is the one that caught our attentions first off. It’s a Reggae influenced Drum n Bass remix of ‘Belly Of The Beast’ by, Hornsman Coyote & Jah Mason and Rahmanee has gone it fired up! If you need that spark to get you into party mode, this’ll set your mood alight with ease!
