Walter Ego mix for British Council

Banging mix here from man like Walter Ego!

The mix comprises of all his own work with plenty of unreleased gems thrown in there. Walter Ego is raising the bar on electronic music and ain’t afraid to produce tracks that are a little different, not a bad thing in my opinion.

If you haven’t already then cop his free EP he did with Dr Calpol on the download link on this page - http://soundcloud.com/walter-ego/walter-ego-x-dr-calpol-whitney

The Whitney tribute is an absolute riddim.

Big up Walter Ego!

Mix Fix #005 - Kidnap Kid, B-Ju and 123Mrk (Future Garage)

Here’s a few mixes that have been bouncing around my head for a few months now, because I’m a lazy sod I’m only just putting them up. All these mixes are part of the (not so) new genre of future garage, at least I think they are….
Starting off with a mix from Kidnap Kid for his label Squelch & Clap. Kidnap Kid has been making noises, and playing other peoples, in the UK and further abroad playing out in Europe on the regs. This mix includes some of his own tracks with other good talent seemlessly bringing melodic vocal samples mixed with smooth drum patterns and all around goodness.
Check out the interview with Kidnap Kid all the way back in April: http://steelthiszine.tumblr.com/post/4403136377/kidnap-kid

B-Ju showcases some great tunes in this little beauty of a mix. I literally cannot get tired of this mix and every time I hear it I rate it more and more. So seemless and so much catchy electronic noise & the vocals just fit so well with the overall mix. It also features a remix of a Kidnap Kid song by 123Mrk who provides the next mix.

Also bringing sweet sweet sounds to the masses is 123Mrk with this monster mix of tuneage. The mix starts off on a laid-back pace but soon kicks it up a notch, speeding up the tempo and brining in more cut-up sounds and samples. The mixing is again top notch, with great combinations of tracks and drops put to good use. You can also download this beaut for your respective mp3 device over at the wearerebels.com website. It has tracks from the aforementioned Kidnap Kid included and also features one of my favourite tunes of 2011 the Machinedrum remix of Look at stars by SBTRKTF.

Mix Fix #004

It’s been a while, I’ve started a Uni course, life is busy but yeah enough about me:

I’ve been listening to this mix non-stop for like the last 3 days, it’s just damn good! It’s noisy but not too much in the way of nonsense, heavy bass all the way through and the last song is just….good….just really good…just really really good. If it’s out there on vinyl somewhere I want it bad. But yeah enjoy: -

Check out the blog I found it on as well: http://dubsteptheotherside.blogspot.com/

Because of Uni work and other stuff I’m probably only going to be posting one mix at a time for these “mix fixes” for a while, at least until January(ish) after which I might have a bit more free time.

Mix Fix #003

Hey again there peoples, welcome to another edition of Mix Fix.

First off big UPS to Akid on this mix, it features a lot of unheard stuff from a few producers hailing from Sheffield like Commodo & MrSly. It’s a slick mix with heavy basslines, same as always when Akid is involved, be sure to listen to “with an appropriate amount of bass”. See the previous article for an interview with Akid about his soundsystem <20HZ soundsystem, check the facebook page for upcoming events etc -> http://on.fb.me/20HzSound.

Secondly is this nice little number from Planas, the bassiest / producer from Gentlemen’s Dub Club, who are pretty skanking tbh, everytime I see um it’s good fun. Anyway on to the mix, it’s a chilled out bass-low sort of flavor, think of the that cup of tea when you got home from work, then add bass. If you wanna get something done while feeling some bass noise go for this un.

Next is a mix from DJ Rastacore, I must admit it was the name that made me listen to this mix but it doesn’t disappoint, it’s a nice mix of drum & bass, dancehall and dubstep numbers. I gotta admit the “Face Gets Splat” tune makes me do that dirty-tune-grimace everytime, it’s a nasty bit of bass. All the other tunes move along nicely nicely, with a load of bass for your ears, enjoy! And if your gonna be at Bestival & fancy getting down to some bassy sound go search him out.

Nice for some hip-shaking, body-movin drum and bass with a little twist if you can fit that in. Nothing amazingly special about this mix but it has some nice grooves & I enjoy passing my day listening to it. Less up-&-at-em attack drum & bass, more chilled out sunshiny day with barbecue vibe.

Thanks for listening!

Mix Fix #001

Welcome to the first bumper edition of Mix Fix, a somewhat regular look at some mixes i’m currently enjoying & liking.

So it briefly felt like the summer was here & I felt a craving for some Hip Hop, especially as I do  alot of driving these days for work & Hip Hop is generally good driving music. After searching around a bit I found this little beut, to be honest most of what I found was agreeable but this one was the one I liked best. Hip Hop grove goodness, enjoy!

On the idea of summer tunes check out Reuben G Spring 2011 Dancehall Mix if your enjoying the sun & want something to shake your body bits to. Featuring old & new tunes, bangers one & all, get some shaking done!

I recently felt myself craving for some “Future Garage”, to be honest i’m not quite sure I knew what that genre actually meant at the time but after searching soundcloud for it I found the below mix. Bass with a difference, the difference being the bass is the same but the bleeps & bloops are a bit different. I especially like the last couple of songs. Enjoy!

I know I might have said that the summer could be here but I just can’t get this mix out of my mind & everytime I listen to it I feel better & enjoy it the same as before. Been really feeling MJ Cole’s productions & I think this mix still works even in the summer. Enjoy!
