FULL SPEKTRUM- SUPERSTAR

It’s time to bring you another huge selection of mixes that have been collected ready for the weekend in mind, 10 in total! There will something for everyone here from Deep House to Tech House, Techno, Hip Hop, Breakbeat, Bass and Electro House. It’s a top lineup of dj’s too which include Pumpkin & EVeryman, Beardyman, Lee Burridge, Evil Nine, Left/Right, Beatman & Ludmilla, Dastardly Kuts, Metha, Sebastian Ledher and All Good Funk Alliance. Let’s get this show on the road!

This mix I picked up earlier in the week. It may well be a couple of years old but this is one for all the Hip Hops fans! Pumpkin & EVeryman bring you a smooth mix of old skool jams and pure head nodding beats. It really is one that’s tuned in to the summertime days!

Beardyman took himself to the glitzy destination of Dubai to play at, Zero Gravity. This mix kicks of in an insane fashion with some straight out D n B madness but mellows down into some gorgeous Deep and Tech House sounds fit for the dusty surroundings.

This stunner dropped on Soundcloud just a few days ago and it comes from Lee Burridge playing for Robot Heart at last years Burning Man. Where into more dusty, hazy sounds here with a mix that’s just over 3 hours long with some of the most heartfelt Tech House music. Jaw droppingly good!

Sitting nicely in the hotbed of talent at Punks Music, Evil Nine are once again making huge waves in the dance music world. As you will hear here, it’s all gotten a lot darker since the days of ‘ Crooked ‘ but one thing of course remains, quality! This dark and dirty Breaks mix recorded for Decoded Magazine coincides with an interview for the magazine that you can read HERE.

Another producer to be recently signed to Punks Music is a well known name to Breaks lovers, Left/Right. He too has taken a gear change in his music production and now carries the Bass driven sound of Breaks as his main weapon with hints of Garage and 2step. This mix is a sub woofer lovers dream and is brimmed with some of the biggest basslines around. Max it out and rock the house, literally! Big ups to the ever excellent Armory Podcast for this one!

Time for something that’s simply going to get you fired up for the weekend. Beatman & Ludmilla are famed for there massive Breaks / Electro House sound and their latest Breakout Breeze series matches up to their notoriety! Let insanity ensue!

Party funkster, Dastardly Kuts brings you fine collection of chunky beats and bouncy bass in this 90 minute mix. It’s a Midtempo mashup of genres that without doubt will get a party hopping and bopping about! Get the tracklist HERE.

The Hungarian Tech Funk machine that is, Metha, took to the airwaves towards the end of last month on Petofi Radio. For this mix he delves into the world of deep and groove heavy Techno. If Techno is your thing you’re just going to love this, massively! A breathtaking tracklist which you can get HERE.

A touch of South American flair now with a mix of deep Tech House from, Sebastian Ledher. This world renowned dj shows his class in mix for the Expectancy Podcast series. Uplifting vocals and stomping beats neatly packed into an hour. Get the tracklist HERE.

The ‘ Late Night Workshop ‘ collection from All Good Funk Alliance has to be one of the coolest and slickest mix series out there! Laid back grooves a plenty from these dudes with this mix heading a long a Future Funk path. Sit back relax and strap on your seatbelt because you never been on a ride like this before! Once again get the tracklist HERE.

Viper’s ‘Headroom’ series returns with it’s 6th chapter, once again bringing together a choice collective of talent in the DnB scene, killer tunes all the way here from Raw Theory, Seismix, Bluescreens, Ekko & Sidetrack and Gran Calavera and our absolute favourite from Modified Motion & Faction ‘Lurka’ blending techy sounds with chopped up breaks and drumstep style beats, exceptional!!!

VA – Headroom EP (Part 6) [Viper Recordings]

As you will notice, this is a mix from last years ‘ Tall Tree Festival ‘ in Vancouver and was not going to be released, however, Neon Steve figured he wouldn’t get to do a new ‘ Pleasensations ‘ mix till the summer so kindly put this one up and let it go for free. This is a bonus for us music fans indeed! The mix, if you have followed Neon Steve’s ‘ Pleasensations ‘ series sees him step away from the dance floor destruction he usually creates and takes on a much more laid back approach. It’s a mix to put your feet up too with a warm beverage and just simply enjoy. Beautiful work!
