No breaks bangers in this one, just straight up good vibes and beats designed to send you on a journey !

” So after watching my favourite TV series of 2016 – Stranger Things, I was inspired to make a Mixtape style mix of all the beats I’ve been listening to and digging this year.

This mix was a lot of fun to make as I collated all the tracks I wanted to put in it and started to mould them together in an interesting way.

This is definitely a listening journey designed to take you through a mixture of sounds and beats.

Hope you enjoy it and Merry Xmas!! “ – DiiSTORTiiON

This brilliant new mix from the Beatslappaz from Perth, Australia (my home town) will have you dancing in the isles.

Both DJs & Producers, Juxtapose and Eyan have been working together for over a decade, honing their love of bass and beats into something special -­ the Beatslappaz.

Influenced by a blend of old-school broken beats and forward-thinking bass music, their first EP with Punks was one of the biggest releases of the year smashing through the Beatport charts and racking up over 14 million video views.

Their second EP on Punks Music, “Ready 4 More” was just released a few days ago (and in this mix) is set to rise to the top of the Breaks charts again. Grab your copy at this link : www.beatport.com/release/ready-4-more

Mark Radford ‘Collaboration

An EP of collabs between Audio Rehab bossman Mark Radford, Marcellus Wallace, Jakkin’ Rabbit, Nathan Dalton, & Stage Rockers. An excellent EP on the talent names alone. we especially like ‘Block Rockin’, a big low-slung bassy number with Hip Hop swagger aplenty

Audio Rehab December 2016 Catch Up

If you checked Peter Brown‘s Soundcloud page, you might think you’ve found a new and upcoming producer. In reality though, Peter is one of the real main players in the House music scene. In 2004 he exploded onto the scene and with his musical skills, he soon found praise being sent his way from the likes of Roger Sanchez, Eric Morillo, The Shapeshifters and Mark Knight to name just a few. His sound and energy given off from the music he makes and plays has seen him play at a number of high profile night spots around the globe with him taking up a residency at, Pacha in Ibiza back in 2013.

Here to get you in tune with what he’s all about is this edit of his of ‘Fly Life’ by, Basement Jaxx, that is so damn addictive and one you just can’t leave alone. The ‘get up and dance’ appeal it has, means this is a sure fire floor filler and one to have to hand when it’s time to kick your party off proper.
