This week in The Armory we welcome ILLEXXANDRA of the Vitamin B crew in Brooklyn to the 1s and 2s. For her Armory mix, ILLEXXANDRA brings together the world of classic ghetto breaks with the homegrown NYC-area sounds of Jersey club tracks and ballroom vogue, New Orleans bounce, and UK underground club music. Press play. Get down.

Brooklyn-based DJ/producer ILLEXXANDRA brings a consistently fun party vibe, drawing from the worlds of funk, UK future sound, global bass, electro swing, and classic club culture. Her sets draw you in with innocent joy, smack you around with raw ferocity, and then set you down gently with deep musical knowledge. She’ll kill it with an hour of bangers, or take you on a five-hour journey into sound.

ILLEXXANDRA has played all over the world, from the East Coast’s best underground parties (Thunder Gumbo, House of Yes, Gemini & Scorpio, BangOn, Winkel & Balktick, Bangarang, No Man’s Land, the JunXion), to major international venues (including The Room in Tokyo; Sound Channel and Union in Osaka; the Button Factory in Dublin; Club Love, the McKittrick Hotel, Pacha, and APT in NYC; the Rock & Roll Hotel and Tropicalia in DC; the Parish in Austin; 1015 Folsom, DNA Lounge, the Elbo Room, and Public Works in San Francisco; King King, The Echo, and El Cid in LA; the Freakeasy in Chicago; Club Popozuda afterparty for Notting Hill Carnival in London among many others), and festivals (SXSW, Gathering of the Vibes, Long Beach Funk Festival, and the ISA World Surfing Games in Costa Rica).

She has released tracks and remixes for Rot10 Muzik, Peligrosa, Boogie Boutique, Cast-A-Blast Records/Mishkin, MC Zulu, Feral aka MC Kinky, Jon Kwest, Kuenta i Tambu, Gato Preto, DJ Tack & DJ Tamalero, and Jaymay, and numerous cult-classic bootlegs. Her tracks were named best track of 2011 by TropicalBass.com, one of 2011′s Most Underrated Music by Marcus Dowling, and featured on BBC Radio 1. She has released mixtapes with Afropop Worldwide, Brooklyn Radio, Space Cowboys RIPEcast, the Armory Podcast, Brousse FM, and RVA Magazine.

She has played all over the Burning Man festival, including the coliseum at Root Society, Funky Town, Dustfish, Basshenge, PEX, Kostume Kult, Disorient, Nexus, Burners Without Borders, BMIR, Dirty Beetles/Black 22s, Black Rock Boutique, Tsunami Bass Experience, Pedal Bump, and Brulee, as well as the arts cars the Janky Barge, Icarus, the Bump Bed, A Cavallo, the Dodo, and the Nautilus. She has played prominent sets at regional Burning Man-related events Transformus, PEX Summer Festival, Playa del Fuego, Frostburn, Freeform Festival, Decompression in NYC and Chicago, and Figment NYC and DC.

Bad Tempo hails from Brighton and if you’re a music maker that doesn’t seem to be a bad part of the country to come form if you take Krafty Kuts and Fatboy Slim into consideration. Bad Tempo himself has been making music for many years dipping in and out of genres although he is more at home where Breaks and House are concerned. Here he puts together a 30 minute mix of exhilarating techy House. It’s a perfect midweek tickler!

The Supersonic Army has a new album out soon and you owe it yourself to invest in a copy, 9 tracks in total, this LP has a great analogue style sound, firmly rooted in timeless dance music sounds with a nod to the 90s sound, shades of old skool rave/hardcore,techno, house & broken beats, electro, The Prodigy circa 91-95, its all in there including a heavy downtempo/hip hop track featuring Jack Light.

AfroQBen shows up with a Free Download of “The Haunted House” just in time to rock your Halloween dance floor. With spooky vintage FX and some modern funky bass line, beats and Whodini on the acapella. Time to get spooky with it!

Released as a freebie by demand after posting a snippet on Facebook, Sirkus Sirkus did what he had to do! On fire at the minute, releasing quality tune after tune, not many people could take on a Prodigy track and make it stand up to the original. This is heavy electro at it’s best. With a breakdown what can only what can be described as as epic…this will get the whole crowd doing the truffle shuffle with hands in the air!

The Dutch sure know how to put together a good tune and this rework of King Bee’s ‘Back by Dope Demand’ is no exception. Fasta & Kid Kaio from Amsterdam and Rotterdam respectably take it into 2014 …. they have made it current and suitable for the dancefloor, whether it be commercial or underground. The electro bassline and that unmistakable riff with chopped up vocal make it perfect for those hands in the air moments

When I first heard Eez-eh by Kasabian I thought with the right arrangement it could fit nicely into a dj set. Upon rummaging on the interweb I found this mash up combining it with another awesome track – ‘Do it Again’ by the Chemical brothers. It is big, it is bonkers and i can’t wait to see it go off in a club! Not much is known about this 19 year old Scotsman …. Psyprus Sun, we salute you!
