Due to other music commitments, the Hong Kong Ping Pong guys don’t find many opportunities to drop one of their now legendary mixtapes, but when they do it’s really time to sit up and take notice! As long time fans of HKPP will know and as it clearly states, this is a mixtape, so if this is our first time checking out these get ready to be taken on genre hoping magic carpet ride. The chop and change of direction and tempo is seamless as always and because of that, you cannot wait to see what’s coming around the next corner. With no indication that this mix was on the way, this Thursday has taken a surprising and very welcomed turn for the better.

**Please be aware that if you have children, this mix contains explicit language in the intro, so a listen while they’re around, might lead to some very awkward questions**

We’ve all been there, someone comes along and ask’s “so what music are you into?”. Madame Electrifie found herself in this exact position a while ago and like us here on the ward, her taste is very vast and varied, so to try and explain it all would take an absolute age. Madame Electrifie’s answer to that very question though is ‘The 5 Trick Pony’, which features a selection of mixes that showcases all of the different styles of music she loves. From from Hip-Hop to Vintage remixes to Breaks to Disco to House and D’n’B, it’s all been covered. A lot of hard work has gone into these mixes and from the quality of the music on offer and the way the mixes are laid out, it really shows and has massively paid off! To go along with each mix, Madame Electrifie has a super cool picture, giving a visual idea of what’s about to go down also. After all, that is her day job, so why miss the chance to have a little fun.

 Lined up below are the 5 mixes, which are all amazing in their own right and come complete with the always handy tracklists.

Hip Hop Hooray

The first of these 5 mixes focuses on Madame Electrifies love for the funky side of Hip-Hop and Ghetto Funk. There’s plenty of names in this mix that we’ve featured here on the ward so you’ll already know that this one is gonna be bang on point, and it is. 50 minutes of the finest beats, Breaks and Funk around.

Vintage Remix

The vintage sound of Electro Swing is arguably what Madame Electrifie is most recognized for which leads us neatly on to her ‘Vintage remix’ mix. Electro Swing always seems to come with a huge amount of happiness built in and that has been captured in the best way possible here. Effortlessly flowing from the traditional Electro Swing sound and into some vintage influenced Drum n Bass giving the mix floor filling appeal.

After their debut EP on, Punks Music, took off, Leda Stray step up for the latest mix in the ‘Punkscast‘ series and deliver once again. Just over 45 minutes of Bass influenced music that’s currently lighting up the world of the new signing to the label to get stuck into and what a selection it is. Mighty work indeed!

The new ‘Punkscast’ mix is the first of two free downloadable items in this post. The second comes from another new name to the, Punks roster, Isenberg. He’s arrived with a heavyweight re-dub of the iconic ‘Shook Ones’ by, Mobb Deep and has flipped the Hip Hop classic into a super solid dance floor rocker! Another top producer to be keeping tabs on for sure.

Finishing this latest Punks post off is the newest release from, Plump DJs. ‘Yes Yes’ has been causing quite a stir amongst the ravers out there. I’ve experienced this one live a couple of times now myself after catching the guys at two separate events and I can confirm that yes, I was rocking with the best, yes! Hands in the air music.
