One of my favourite mixes of the year would have to be with no doubt Stickybuds LIVE set from the Fractal Forest at the Shambala Music Festival. Such a journey of a mix full all genres to get you moving on the dance floor with a tight selection of edits, remixes and original tunes in a well thought out fashion.

Back in 2012, Roots Recordings got to release a track that has gone on to be one of the biggest and most played Jungle tunes of recent times. It all come about when four top UK producers of the scene all put their minds together in spectacular fashion. With Bob Marley’s classic ‘Sun Is Shining’ as the main foundation to the track, Andy Sim and Bevan set about using their slick editing skills on the vocal and skanks of the original, piecing them together with up to date Jungle Breaks. Aries and Gold Dubs then threw their hats into the ring by providing the sickest basslines and with all of the components put together, a classic was born. It’s popularity has been so huge that all parties felt it was time to let everyone have a chance to own it and have now decided to give it away for free. You can’t get much better news than that!

Download ‘Sun Is Shinning’ here via Hypeddit.

Italian House producer, Angelo Ferreri, has got us an absolute cracker to help us welcome in this weekend. His Disco/Tech House edit of ‘I Feel Love’ by, Donna Summer is so good that it could quite easily become a weekend anthem for many more that will come. You’ll soon see what I mean once you indulge in the glorious sounds that are on offer.

Since signing exclusively with Viper Recordings in April, Austria’s Dossa & Locuzzed have been enjoying some serious recognition as one of the industry’s hottest new drum and bass duos. With their debut single ‘Only Way / Electric Boogie’ released back in May on Viper’s sister label Viper VIP to tumultuous praise, the talented producers have been hitting the scene hard in 2016. Featuring on Viper’s ‘Bassrush 1.0’ album with ‘Ninja’, as well as the annual ‘Drum & Bass Summer Slammers 2016’ compilation with ‘Banana Split’, Dossa & Locuzzed have been gaining support from some of the biggest names in the industry along with fresh new remixes of NC-17’s ‘Soldiers’ and Deuce & Charger’s ‘Who Can You Trust?’.

Now with their first single on the main Viper Recordings roster, Dossa & Locuzzed are back to see out the end of the summer with even more fire.

‘Dance’ sets the scene with an airy and atmospheric intro before spiralling headfirst in to a catchy beat packed full of funky synths, gritty stabs and plenty of old-school raver vibe. Adding some vocal samples and plenty of drums in to the mix, the duo has created the perfect recipe for a seriously eclectic track which is a sure-fire classic in the making.

Next up, ‘Shag’ jumps straight in with a mix of swirling synths and bouncy drums, kicking things off with a no-nonsense drop that means business.

Featuring an up-tempo beat with aggressive stabs and riffs not unlike those you’d hear tearing up a jump-up dance, this first tune from the single packs a punch you’re not likely to forget.

With ‘Dance / Shag’, Dossa & Locuzzed have once again brought a diverse and varied sound to the table with their trademark mix of feel-good vibe and funky spin on classic,

hard hitting Drum and Bass.

Prepare to be hearing these guys’ sounds in your ears a lot more over the coming months!

It’s been quite a while since we’ve brought you music from Arteo on his own. We’ve featured him before dropping some Funk heavy, bass filled tunes with his good buddy Dub:ra, but with his solo tune ‘You’ll Never Know’, Arteo is serving up a suave, smooth and sophisticated slice of Funky Breaks. We must simply doth our caps to this fine fellow’s work and head for a merry jaunt on a floor for dancing at once! See you there…

Love classic rolling US style Garage? Well, you’re gonna love this EP by Upswing Project on Hustler Trax. We’re not talking dusty vinyls from the 90s here (not that there’s anything wrong with them!). No, we’re talking about 4 chilled, melodic, and soulful grooves lovingly crafted in the 92-96 era Garage sound.

In fact, Upswing Project is an alias for the talented House music/aficionado, Alex Agore. Alex spoils us here with some purist dubby Garage rhythms that will bring a huge smile to your face

Our Favourite Track:

‘Raw Groove Four’, A nice chunky Garage tune that would fit perfectly in a Karl ‘Tuff Enuf’ brown DJ set
