G ‘Baffled’ Smoove and Rare Nephew are a couple of relatively unknown producers from London. Both have a handful of heavy-duty releases under their own names but have this time decided to team up on this remix of an all time classic, Meat Beat Manifesto‘s ‘Radio Babylon‘ and what a top job they’ve done. The tempo has been increased considerably with a contemporary Garage twist to boot and the bassline ain’t half bad either. I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more from these guys if this tune is anything to go by!

Insomniac’s ‘Metronome‘ mix series has one of the broadest selection of beats to be found anywhere on the planet. The music comes from fast-rising stars as well as legendary names from the electronic music scenes and it’s a legendary name that’s dropping in for mix #111, the Texan bass making tornado that is, Left/Right.

Now I’ve raved about Left/Right’s work many times on LSM, so I’m sure that many of you will already have an inkling that this mix is gonna be a little bit special, and I’m very pleased to tell you it is! The one hour mix has his signature Breaks/Bass/Garage sound running through it from start to finish and as well as featuring a number of his own epic tunes, there’s a few more from his ‘Shadows Selection‘ album that’s out now on Punks Music and a few of his favourite older tunes from the vaults. Get whatever you’ve got to get done, done, because once this mix starts your attention will be taken up fully by this masterpiece of a mix. Bass satisfaction is guaranteed!

Get the download link below and to find the tracklist and an interview with Left/Right, head to Insomniac’s website.

Ray Charles is no stranger to the remix treatment – there’s a nice selection of ghetto-funk reworks of his tunes out there (yes, Father Funk, I’m looking at you!!), and this isn’t the first attempt to remodel this classic tune for the dancefloor. So, I hear you ask, why is it worthy of my ears? The answer is simple – because it works. It’s not too swingy (Is that a word?) but brings that electro-swing feel from the off, based firmly around that instantly recognisable brass riff. Importantly it respects the original, pitching down to incorporate the inevitable singalong opportunities.

L.A based, Friskie Business, has been pushing the Funk sound for almost two decades now, so when you come across a mix from him, you know the tracks he’s chosen are gonna be on another level. This is the case with his ‘Funk Soul Variety Hour‘mix. The mix is a midtempo based one, but it’s not all about all guns blazing bangers. The selected one hour of tunes have been geared towards an afterparty vibe, when it’s time to rest those weary feet and take stock of what just went down at the crazy party beforehand.

The music takes off on a real chilled note and builds along the way and although there is the odd heavy hitting tune from halfway onwards, it’s still a very cool mix to listen to and one that takes you on a journey through re-imagined classic funk, soul, hip-hop and beyond. Kick back and enjoy the quality music on offer.

As far as I’m aware, we’ve not had Swiss producer, DJ Groovecellar, here on the ward before which I’m toataly baffled by but hey, he’s here now and that’s what counts. After discovering him and having taken a trip through his back-catalog, this dude has a goldmine of music that’s just waiting to be found, owned, shared and loved. Many of his tracks are available for free including the one featured which delivers his more familiar Funky Breaks sound, with heavy helpings of Sam & Dave and M|A|R|R|S on this one and man it works! It’s a very worthy tempter and after a listen you’ll be wanting to hear more of his work for sure. Enjoy the awesome ‘Bring the Funk back’, then go fill up on more Funk on the Soundcloud link below.

Maxim just keeps churning out the quality releases this year, as he returns for his next release on Death Drum Rebel, with long-time collaborator Cianna Blaze. 'Baddest Breed' is yet more of Maxim's signature Drum & Bass sound but this time he has enlisted A-list remixer, Viper Recordings very own, Insideinfo.

Cianna Blaze has been working with Maxim for a while now, and the results are always top-notch. No change here on 'Baddest Breed', in fact, she is in rare form and spits with venom and passion over Maxim's rolling beats, bass and hunting synths.

Insideinfo then turns in an epic and Neurofunk flavoured reworking of the original that utilises Cianna's outstanding vocal perfectly. This is one for any discerning dancefloor warrior.

Maxim, Death Drum Rebel & Cianna Blaze are all on top form with this release. Add to that a gargantuan remix from one of the scenes biggest hitter in the form of Insideinfo and you have a very special release!

Once Again, Future Wildstyle are back on Bass=Win to wreak musical havoc with the Once Again EP, a firey melting pot of Jungle, Breaks, Bass, Footwork, even a bit of Acid House!!!

‘Original Big Up’ continues on the path of Jungle Breaks devestation. The Jungle bleeps, stepping beats, snatches of Hip Hop are all present with a bassline that can and will reshape walls!!!

‘Turn It Up’ blends Ragga vox with floating 303s, heavy blasts of bass and a kind of 4×4 meets breakbeat fusion. Things get even more deep and house music like as the tune shuffles along.

Title track ‘Once Again’ bounces from left to right, loaded with great oldskool samples, a fast paced DnB/Jungle tempo and the cut up style of Juke/Footwork complete with half step interludes

‘Hotter Than Hot’ brings us back around to that funky intertwining of Jungle, breakbeat and a bit of oldskool dubstep. Another great showing from Future Wildstyle, doing it differently, doing it deadly!!!

Future Wildstyle – Once Again EP

Brooklyn based, OKNF Collective, have served up a massive amount of music, a lot of which has been posted here on LSM, in the shape of 4 out 5 of their ‘We Are OKNF‘ albums. Each of those was packed with collective members and their tough and ready to party House tunes.

OKNF’s latest offering is their free 4 track EP ‘The Warehouse Afterhours‘. Now, with a title like that, you might just be expecting the music to be intense, dark and full of the kind of twisted energy you need to see you power through the early hours of the morning. If that is the kind of music you are expecting, the 4 heavy Techno tracks from Dorian, Stone Castle, UTCA and OMNOM, will hit the spot bang on. Top quality music, from a top quality collective. Get to know if you haven’t already.

It has been just over a year now since the UK based label, Subsound, released their earth shattering album ‘Subsound Volume 1‘. That album featured 12 free tracks from a number of emerging stars and now Volume 2 has rocked up to the party, you can expect to find 15 more free tracks with the same calibre of music and producers on board. Label bosses, Shane Bowman and TZ. have both chipped in with a track each again, but the rest of producers on the new album are new names to us and are one’s that we’re definitely going to investigate further.

Music wise, you’ll find an incredible selection of House, Garage, Techno, Bassline and Grime and the old saying “there’s something here for everyone” could not be more true when it comes to ‘Subsound Volume 2‘. Tuck and reap the rewards!
