Charlie Beale has fired up his ‘Regrooved’ series again and the first tune to be sent our way is this ridiculously cool edit of ‘Confunkshunizeya’ by, Con Funk Shun. He’s given the original the full regroove treatment and it’s now oozing even more funk than ever. It’s a great return to Charlie’s series so be sure to follow him and stayed tuned for more.

JH Nickel ‘Act Up/Shade’. 2 great ways to finish up 2016 for premier UK Bass House label, Night Shift Sound

Both ‘Act Up and ‘Shade’ are firmly rooted in the Grime/Bass/House sound with big brazen stabs, Grime MC style vocals and chunky beats. ‘Act Up’ leans more towards a clean, crisp Tech House sound with huge wobbling subs.

‘Act Up’ leans more towards a clean, crisp Tech House sound with huge wobbling subs.

‘Shade’ is a suitably tough companion to ‘Act Up’ with lazer charged synths and a menacing refrain. Subtle allusions to the mid 00’s Niche sound and even earlier UKG sound can be discerned on this blazing rhythm.

So there’s your bass fix well and truly fixed!!!

JH Nickel – Act Up / Shade

After only discovering him late on this year, Mazesoundz is someone we’ll definitely be keeping tuned into in 2017. He’s a producer who likes to experiment with different genres but has a huge taste for Funk, which can be best experienced by checking out his new remix Juggy‘s rare groove tune ‘Oily’. This is a jam that’ll spread good vibes only across the dance floor and lets face it, who doesn’t love a bit of that!
