Alexander Nut & Lil Silva

I typically dont post mixes on here but these two really encompass everything I like about bass music and its future . Vet of Rinse.fm and Eglo Records head honcho, Alexander Nut busts everything out from Detroit House from legend Omar S and youngster Kyle Hall to UKFunky of Roska and Julio Bashmore seemlessly slipping into Minneappolis funk with Prince. Its crazy what DJs are doing to push the limits on the dancefloor and this mix really shows what a live show could be these days whether in London, Tel Aviv or SanFran.

The second comes from dubplate pressure mon Lil Silva. His dubplates and tracks are highly highly coveted by the likes of Bok Bok, L-Vis1990, Roska, Mosca, Deadboy, Julio Bashmore, Marcus Nasty....basically any name in UKFunky or Garage has played this guy. His tracks Pulse vs. Flex and Different were released as separate white labels and sold out instantly with no represses in sight unfortunately. His remixes just as highly prized and never disappoint. Funniest part is he's 19 and influences Kode9....insane.....Detroit's Kyle Hall and Lil Silva share the same age, different genres, and yet both have recently received the accolades of Kode9..........respect....expecting some official releases soon....these mixes are in celebration of them playing in Room 2 alongside Oneman and Geeneus at the legendary Fabric in London this Friday evening March 26th......get em both

Geiom ft. Marita

Released just two days ago, on my birthday, legendary Berkane Sol owner and operator Geiom comes through again with long time collaborator Marita for this positively divine house, dub, grime, techno, funky, garage, tropical hybrid; and that's just the original mix. The refix comes from, my favorite imprint at the moment, Blunted Robots, co-chairs Brackles and Shorstuff who once again deliver gold. I have been waiting for another smash from Geiom and Marita since Reminissin' back in 2008. Though they have a had a few attempts in between then and now, this track makes them look feeble at best. I have been hearing the refix and original on mixes for quite some time now and never got a definitive release date so it seems fitting it came on my birthday so here it is my present to you, two days late......enjoy

Hot City

Though released in June of last year, these two bangers have been staples on many of the future garage/funky cat's playlists for the past 10 months and one, Sweat, is currently featured on the latest FACT Magazine Podcast by Doc Daneeka (highly recommended as well). Only vaguely garage in style, Hot City makes house music that flows ever so seamlessly into the dubstep and tropical/funky realm due to the effervescent female vocals and pounding 4/4 riddims that slay crowds around the world. This is as house as I get just enough untz to keep the late night crowd rowdy withoug feeling like the guidos fist pumping. Hot hot heat from Hot City....highly recommended....both tracks are club bangers and have the support from the likes of Sinden and Shortstuff to Husdson Mohawke and Raffetie illustrating how dynamic this bass music has become......Fans of Night Slugs, Bok Bok or L-Vis 1990, get it filthy

Egyptrixx

Relatively unknown in the US, Egyptrixx has been cultivating some underground buzz in the UK scene. Gaining notoriety from DJ/producers such as Brackles, Jackmaster and Roska, Egyptrixx has been quietly making his own version of avant-garde garage/funky. Released on the Ahhh! Real Monsters imprint, yes like the nineties cartoon show on Nick, The Battle For North America is his first effort and I must say does not disappoint. Phones and the title track are the real stand outs though Hexagon Ya is the one being seen on top notch tracklists from around the world.

Bok Bok, Brackles & Shortstuff

Keepin on this Funky kick, Bok Bok and Brackles & Shortstuff release two hot singles on Brackles and Shortstuff's immaculate Blunted Robots imprint. Being only the third release on the label, it is easy to see that in 2010 big things will come theses folks and will continue to push the envelope in the ever growing and evolving scene. Already all three releases have been receiving critical acclaim as well as the support of peers like Jackmaster, Julio Bashmore, Deadboy, Joy Orbison, Roska, Mosca just to name a very few....All these men are keeping busy and I am sure another release on Blunted Robots is slated for the near future. Definitely a vinyl pickup....

Roska

If you don't know who Roska is time to get with it. He will be sharing the most coveted spots at Mary Anne Hobbs late night stage with Joy Orbison, FlyLo and of course the queen of bass Mary herself. Though been producing music for years, it was not until recently his gained relevance in the ever evolving and fluid UK underground dance music scene. Scheduled to release his first full length in April through the Rinse outfit, Roska has been making music under his own label Roska Kicks and Snares. Until recently, those tracks were only available through his white label releases but Boomkat has recently digitized some of his work from not only Roska Kicks and Snares but also remixes and special tracks. He is one of the most innovative and respected artists out there pushing the boundaries of funky, house, garage, 2-step and grime/dubstep. Here are the 14 tracks he released digitally....chances are you had heard most of them because he is all over tracklists from Julio Bashmore to Rusko and everywhere in between.....massive

Roska - VA Roska Kicks and Snares

01. Roska – Boxed In

Mosca

The first release from the newly formed Night Slugs imprint, headed by future garage/funky legends Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990, Mosca drops two HUGE funky tracks on his debut release. Night Slugs have been putting on parties in the UK for the past two years and included acts like Joker, Cooly G, Scratcha DVA, Manara, Christian Martin, Greena, D-Malice, Roska the list goes on and on....needless to say they are some of the most influential cats in the bass game....They designated Mosca to do their first official release and it seems fitting since all the aforementioned have either played Square One live in the mix, or remixed the track themselves....HUGE HUGE shit from Night Slugs in 2010 super stoked on this label.....if you collect vinyl be sure to scoop the L-Vis 1990 Night Slugs White Label Compass/Zahonda(NSWL001) while supplies last....no repress on those bad boys....huge tracks just got that 12'' in the mail not too long ago.....enjoy

Joy Orbison

So I have been debating whether or not to continue to post the best of 2009 or wait for something worthwhile to post that was released this year. Well...there has been a few EPs worthy of posting but its a matter of taste and I don't think a lot of my readers would be into what I am currently listening to with the exception of this.....Originally set to be released in February, Joy Orbison's The Shrew EP leaked late last week and I haven't been able to purge these tunes from my head. Both are brilliant and although I am not really digging up-and-comer, Actress', remix I can understand why people are all over it.....Expect more big things from JO in 2010

Booka Shade

I have not been listening to as much straight up techno and house as I may have had in the past but I stumbled upon this gem looking through my catalog the other day and wondered why I have been so close minded....I mean to be honest it not my favorite genre of electronic music but Booka Shade throws down in a not so conventional house DJ/producer style....The duo is known for their extremely loud and rawkus live shows but does not prescribe to the typically "ootz ootz ootz" common in a lot club DJs.......they take sounds from across the spectrum of electronic music to create their unique take on house music...This album was released in 2006 I believe so its a little dated but still quite relevant......

Supra 1

Another amazing mix from Supra 1.....I don't think I have to say anything on this one although anyone who knows me knows I could rant and rave for days on any DJ/producers I am currently into.....the tracklisting speaks for itself so ill......40 mins of progressive Dubstep/Garage currently emerging out of Eastern Europe but more specifically, in this instance, Krakow, Poland.

A1 Bassline

Perhaps the most aptly named DJ around, A1 Bassline's a remix master. He usually operates in the house/electro/funky space, but finds a way to jam earth-shaking bass wobbles in whatever he's cutting up. This bass might destroy your speakers.

Two new summertime mixtapes from A1. Not surprisingly, it's all about the heavy, heavy bass.
