Sooney makes his debut on Hot Creations with the ‘Back To The Music EP’

Staying true to his 90s House & Hardcore roots, Sooney gives us two bass-driven ecstatic Tech-House tunes in his unique style. Former UK chart toppers Route 94 get on remixing the title track sticking tot he early rave influences and reminding us why they once pushed back the likes of Pharrell Williams from the No1 spot. Its great to see the hard working Sooney score this release on a top House music imprint, no doubt the start of a huge rise. We certainly hope so

A Most Wanted Man – Peoples EP

Uberzone aka Timothy Wiles is an American born DJ/Producer who has been an avid producer of electronic music since the mid 1990’s when he spent some time playing in the early rave scene. He released his first album “Ideology” in 2007 to fantastic reviews and toured extensively with such acts as The Crystal Method. This mix was recorded LIVE in 2003 at the Nocturnal Wonderland Festivial.

The unique stylings of Keith MacKenzie & DJ Fixx are well flexed in this their 3rd mix for the Armory Podcast, Breaks, Bass and Trap music are highlighted in this mix.

Keith MacKenzie has emerged as one of the driving forces behind the global breakbeat scene, regularly gigging across the US and Europe. Now based in Chicago, Keith spent his formative years in the now legendary Florida rave scene racking up early credits on influential labels like DJ Icey’s Zone Records and After Dark before launching his own label. Illeven:Eleven Recordings, now in its 11th year of operations, built a reputation for releasing quality collaborations from a diverse roster of artists (Audiostalkers, Deekline & Ed Solo, Fixx, Infiniti, Bass Kleph, Gigi Barocco, Rico Tubbs, Sporty-O, Sue Cho and Whiskey Pete have all released on the label) making it a Beatport mainstay in the process. Under the informal moniker of KMFX alongside Fixx he’s gone on to release internationally on labels like Deekline’s Rat Records, as well as Punks, the venerable UK imprint formed by breakbeat stalwarts Stanton Warriors.

In 2012 Keith teamed up with long time creative collaborators Fixx and D:RC to form Smookie Illson, a new bass music alias for studio experiments that fall outside the rather strict umbrella of breakbeat music. After trying their hand at everything from electro house to moombahton (signing their first demos to Potty Mouth Music in the process) they found their footing in the EDM “trap” scene, churning out bootlegs and originals at a brisk pace and gaining steady support from fans and peers alike. Their 2013 bootleg remix of Yo Majesty’s ‘Club Action’ turned into one of the longest-running festival season selections, gaining support year after year from scene favorites like Skrillex & Diplo, Baauer, RL Grime, Brillz, and Loudpvck. 2015 saw Smookie Illson releasing their ‘Compound Riddims EP’ a highly-rated collab with the UK’s Ragga Twins on Play Me Records, as well as releases on Seattle’s Simplify Records and Australia’s Safari Music.

Over the past 15 years, breakbeat pioneer DJ Fixx has been stocking the shelves of record stores everywhere. Said by many as one of the most innovative and consistent producers in the industry, he continues to deliver some of the most sought after breakbeat tracks available. Making his debut in 1998, Fixx produced over 75 anthems on the classic Kaleidoscope Music label. Many of these timeless tracks are still played frequently today. This was then followed by Fixx’s own personal imprint, Bottom-End Records (2004-2008). Managed by Afterdark, the BER trademark produced some of the biggest anthems in the industry, easily claiming the spot of one of the top five best-selling domestic labels in the country. Alongside of Keith MacKenzie, Fixx is currently a leading producer for Keith’s illeven:eleven label. Frequent solo installments can be found on ILL, as well as collaborations with Keith under the production duo ‘KMFX’. With over 150 12-inch releases, over 300 exclusive digital releases, and twelve massively-distributed CDs under his belt, Fixx has assembled one impressive Discography. All of this resulting in one of the strongest and most loyal followings in the industry.

There is some good techno/techfunk/breaks (whatever you want to call it) coming out of Russia with Yreane and Tom Clyde leading the charge. Released on Census Sound Recordings, in my opinion one of the best labels around, producing techy tracks and in fact a whole variety of music from dubby tech to progressive, the label has being going from strength to strength recently with a strong roster of artists who are releasing top quality tunes like this. On this track (part of a two track release) Tom Clyde is joined by his fellow Russian OneWay (AKA Ivan Merkulov) to produce this rolling tech funk monster. The track builds from a very funky rhythm reminiscent of Meat Katie to break with a dirty heavy bass line that brings to mind Hedflux all the while there’s a very squelchy synth keeping the interest along with various distorted vocals. This is very much one for a good dark late night club and when that second break kicks in the dancefloor will go wild (this is offered purely as read and no guarantee of ensuing mayhem is implied – but you’ll certainly find me doing just that).

Spanish outfit The Beatkillers have made some cranking remixes of some well popular tunes over the last couple of years and most are available as a FREE download via their Soundcloud page. This brand new mix from them is “Mix Edition Number 7” a continuing series of Breaks mixes with the best tunes out there with lots of local artists and an upcoming Beatkillers remix of the classic tune Baby D – Let Me Be Your Fantasy soon to be released through Deep Low Records.

These two tracks from XEROPOINT both flex some serious musical muscle!!!! We start with the abrasive synth’s and minimal beats of ‘Whats Up’. A harder and more hedonistic take on the stripped back style of D&B. The approach here is quite the opposite of the deep subs you might be used to. The synths growl and spit venom, often rudely interrupted by hoover riffs and subtle shades of 90s rave.

‘Badman’ sounds like The Predator creeping through the jungle waiting to ambush his prey. Crunchy beats, shards of the amen break. The aluminiferous hole punching bassline on this robust number seethes with computer rage and rudeboy attitude. XEROPOINT  must have been pretty angry when he created these fearsome beasts in the lab. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!!!!
