Future classic in the making here with Alexia Coley laying down her sublime vocals on another Soul/Funk monster. Her original is beautiful slice of Motown inspired laid back funk that will find favour with new fans and old alike.  We have the premiere of the Smoove remix to bring to you today and boy does he do good! Smoove has to be one of the busiest funksters in the whole of the scene and really adds his shine to an already quality track. Bringing the drums to the forefront with a heavy hitting, funked up rhythms he creates a more dancefloor lead version which will definitely be doing damage around this years festivals.

Press Release

“Alexia Coley is a girl who has been preparing her whole life for what 2014 has to offer. Her background as a big band jazz singer and then as lead singer for West London crew The Rotten Hill Gang has prepared her for the big stage and when opportunity knocks she always answers.

Her debut single on Jalapeno “Keep The Faith” gained Alexia a lot of attention both at home where Craig Charles on 6 Music and Robert Elms on BBC London were big fans supporting the single on their shows – and abroad where Italy in particular needed no persuasion to get Alexia on the national airwaves.

Beautiful Waste Of Time was co-written with former Rotten Hill bandmates Gary McPherson and Andre Shapps. Their previous band Big Audio was led by Mick Jones from The Clash and in early live incarnations Alexia found herself singing the song with Mick on guitar.

The song was never committed to record and so with her old bandmates support Alexia re-recorded the single with her current band and with producer Dr. Rubberfunk on mixing duties made it her own.

Her music has a classic soul and jazz vibe but with the edge of a girl who has grown up round Ladbroke Grove and seen what effect modern day London has on people. Her songs are timeless but still relate to kids growing up right now and she can just as often be found sandwiched between a rapper and a DJ on the bill as a line-up of jazz players at Ronnie Scotts.

Label mate Smoove puts the drums to the front for a dancefloor friendly remix that will be tearing up clubs and festivals all summer long.”

Ground Level Records has put out some very high quality music in 2014. Head Honcho at the label, Andy McAllister recently released the dancefloor smasher Boooshka on the label, and now returns with a freebee of equal dopeness.

The original 'Control' is considered as one of the best global bass tracks to come out this year. The original is produced by Branko of Buraka Som Sistema, alongside Bert On Beats and vocalist Yadi

Andy's remix ups the BPMs for a low-slung bass heavy workout with tough kicks and snares.

Here’s a disco-tinged refix of the Destiny’s Child hit “Say My Name” from upcoming producer WILL MOMENTUM. He keeps the vocals in tact while thickening the kicks and upping the tempo. Feeling this one, for free download.

French Dj / Producer The Swing Bot has been making tunes with funky edge since 2003. Originally producing House, Electro and Hip-Hop tracks he has now focused his sights on the joyous sounds of Electro Swing and a damn fine job he is doing to!

Here The Swing Bot takes the classic Ram Jam – Black Betty, a hit in 1977  and adds his own present day personnel touch. Keeping the original guitar riff running through the track he takes modern day bounce and bass and turns it in to a Electro Rock dancefloor stomper!

It’s no understatement that Toolroom Records is one of the strongest independent labels pushing underground dance music and it’s culture. It goes without saying that the label plays a prominent role in breaking big names and accelerating the careers of the talented artists releasing material on the imprint. The label’s success has been proven time and time again.

It should be hard to go through the world of breaks and glitch without hearing about The Glitch Mob at some point—for good reason. Formed in 2006, they released their first album Drink the Sea in 2010 with moderate success, which led to a cover story being written about them on eMusician. After “Drive it Like You Stole it” hit number 2 on XL8R8’s top downloaded songs of 2010 list, it was clear that The Glitch Mob would help popularize genres such as glitch-hop and dubstep.

Some might disagree with The Glitch Mob’s impact on musical culture, but it is hard to ignore the effect it has had on people’s lives throughout the world. Back in 2012, a man named Grant Korgan tried to recover from a broken back with partial paralysis, defying doctors that claimed he would never walk again. His friend had written the Mob about his condition and he returned from the hospital to see signed shirts, drumsticks, and their album Drink the Sea waiting for him.

Korgan put it best himself when he said “The drop hit and I started crying—pure emotional release. They pushed me to go as hard as humanly possible.” In time, with the help of his music, Korgan regained the feeling in his legs and even went on a trip to the south pole. He carried The Glitch Mob with him the entire way and planted their flag at the pole. Talk about music having the power to inspire!

The Glitch Mob has also become popular in the gaming world and has been featured in numerous videos online. Most recently, their track “Can’t Kill Us” was used for the character trailer for the hugely popular upcoming game Watchdogs. They are also a common hit for gamers in the world of poker, being used for videos by

. PartyPoker on YouTube did a quick survey of players at a Copenhagen event and found that many players prefer to

, even at live games. While their musical taste is as diverse as their backgrounds, bands such as The Glitch Mob are commonly named by players. Fans of the genre know that glitch music can be epic and motivating, and many players believe music helps them with their game, whether that is simply working out at the gym or avoiding tilt at the tables.

The band most recently released their second album, Love Death Immortality, topping Billboard’s Electronic/Dance chart. This album features the previously mentioned hit “Can’t Kill Us,” which sold thousands in the first weeks of its release. While the album is a bit of a transition from their first release, the elements of glitch-hop are still clearly present in The Glitch Mob’s latest work. While the album features ample use of vocals and has a more rock-’n'-roll feel at times, it is still definitely worth a look for any glitch-hop fan, especially those who enjoyed the Mob’s first album.

The band’s newest album is a perfect piece for live shows, and it’s no surprise that they continue to sell out concerts during their tour this season. As their live shows were a big part of what originally them popular, it is fitting for them to push their talent to the live arenas with their latest album. Fans surely aren’t disappointed, and The Glitch Mob has no problem filling up a house. The UK can look forward to them at the end of May and August as their tour takes them around Europe and the US.

If you want to hear what The Glitch Mob has been up to lately, they released a few samples on Soundcloud.
