Alibi sees two of the brightest lights from the Brazilian D&B scene, Level 2 and DJ Chap join forces under their new production moniker for their second release on the legendary V Recordings.

Fresh from mixing the critically acclaimed ‘Planet V Drum & Bass Vol 2’ album earlier this year, cementing their selection and mixing credentials, the duo have also just made a guest appearance on Hospital Records ‘Future Sound of Brazil’ project, picking up a legion of new fans along the way. Now the boys return back home to V for The Hornet EP – a beautifully balanced EP showcases the lighter and darker sides of the productions.

Kicking things off with the deep sounds of ‘Last Call’, then onto the DJs favourite ‘Hideaway’ which has been rocking dancefloors the world over. Things then get a little different as we move into the experimental half step rhythms of ‘The Hornet’, expect to see this one crossing genre boundaries! And last but no means least is ‘Fire’ complemented by the vocal talents of singer/songwriter Charli Brix, this lush D&B roller hits all the right notes in its delivery, and what a way to finish off the EP!

For such a new act, Alibi are really starting to make a name for themselves with their precision cut productions, mixing the deep with the dancefloor. Support for the duo has come already from V boss Bryan Gee, DJ Marky, DJ Hype, Calibre, London Elektricity, Break, Fabio & Grooverider, Bailey, Kasra, Ivy Lab, Hazard, and a whole load more. Get to know!

Flash Cats- Back By Dope Demand E.P [Propaganda Music]

The Fort Knox Five camp and all it’s friends deliver the best in electronic funk music today. This is long time friend of the FK5 camp Qdup and his promo mix for the 3rd annual DC Funk Parade. It includes a premier of the forthcoming Fort Knox Five tune “Don’t Go feat. Joe Quarterman” which is a collaboration that came out of the preparations for this years parade. It is set to be released Friday May 6th 2016; just in time for the festivities. Washington, DC native Joe Quarterman had his first hit “So Much Trouble On My Mind” in 1973, (of which i made an edit of HERE) an instant funk classic that was part of the capital city’s red hot 70s funk scene. Qdup’s DJ mix embodies that timeless funk that is still rocking over 40 years later. It features Public Service announcements from Rare Essence, Kokayi, Rufus Roundtree, Empresarios & Congo Sanchez straight from the heart of the Mothership on DC’s U Street, letting you know about the Funk Parade!

Old school is the Nuskool. Australia’s DiiSTORTiiON reminisces about the past and the heyday of Breaks with this new mix of Classic Breakbeat.

“So it recently dawned on me that this year marks 10 years since I had my first support gig at Ambar back in 2006 playing before Dopamine – 10 bloody years!! Since then music has taken me all over Australia and overseas and allowed me to connect with people all over the world that would have never been possible had it not been for our mutual interest in music.

So I think it’s about time I did a mix paying tribute to that awesome time in my life – the gigs/parties/after parties/boat parties and festivals.Flashing back to 2004 – 2006 I couldn’t get away without paying respect to Kid Kenobi who single handedly got me and most of the people I know into Djing at the time. I learnt to mix by listening to his breaks mixes on repeat.

So this mix is as much a tribute to him as it is to the talented artists included in it.

Enjoy!” – DiiSTORTiiON
