——New iBreaks Tunage——-

AHH Yeah, iBreaks adds up the mutinous one to the line-up and turns out some tunes that will make us all wonder…..What took so long?

Dj Mutiny - Sign of the Times: This one takes it back to a time when house wasn’t cool and most of us still brought glow sticks to the club. Funky intro biz full of arp’d up hooks and shuffled drums get ya ready for a epic drop into a tune that is truly a tribute to the old school. This can only get better once you factor in that Mutiny had a hand in it, and it does. Shortly into the tune a nice B-line with a touch of grime pokes its ugly head in and gets this tune going the right way. The tune does build into a survivor, it takes a bit tho. This isn’t a tune that im nuts about, it is however a great tune in the sense that it is a very modern approach to some slightly less popular forms of breaks for this day and age.

Dj Mutiny - Here I Come: This ones got a bit more of a abrasive approach w/ Jimmy Hendrix samples and a touch of funk spattered on top of a punchy beat. The bass on this tune is very soulful and the beat to boot. The tune has a cool hook running thru it, all be it very simple, its still very effective. Im not sure if I like this tune, or if I just like breaks way to much. Either way…this One’s my pick of the 2 and im stickin’ with it

Mutiny flaunts more of his ability to turn out tunes you never thought you’d here him make, and he does it with style. This release is due to hit stores on September 22nd and your gonna want to give these a good listen. Prolly more than just once…and your gonna want to hear the whole tune…..so your just gonna have to buy them

—–New Botchit RmX Bizzzz!—–

…By now we should all be aware of Atomic Hooligans newest album ‘Sex, Drugs and Blah Blah Blah…’. Also, we should all be aware of the tune w/ more Acid than the long haired dude you met at the last festy you were at, and more glitch than the matrix on mushrooms “Electro aint Electro”. This go around you can pick up the original AND to mighty fine Rico Tubbs RmX’s all in the same release

Atomic Hooligan - Electro Aint Electro (Rico Tubbs Remix): This tune starts out with a nice hype 4/4 break and some hollowish bass. Up to the task of keepin you rockin in your headphones during the mix is some electro flavored vocal stabs and some nice atmospheric keys. Full on repetitive vocal demands like “get your ass on the floor” command you through the breakdown and when its drop time, Rico’s got plenty of bouncy bass, and stabby Edits to help make the dancefloor your bitch yet again . This is a great RmX for this tune and I personally can’t think of a more choice Remixer. BIG TUBB’S ACTION HERE FOLKS!!!!!!

Atomic Hooligan - Electro Aint Electro (Rico Tubbs ‘Rave’ Remix): Just the combo of all those key words in the tune title make me excited! Rico takes his remix and pumps it up with a lil bit of candy for this double header remix release. This version has some EPIC keys in it and really good charisma with any type of set. The bass has a bit more of a warm feel to it and the atmosphere has been doubled up on this version!

Botchit keeps the Biz big and keeps the tunes even bigger with this release! These are two GREAT remixes and if you doubt that at all just consider this, I even went as far as to post this Electro house release on NSB……Nuff said!

Moston & Malente - Do the right thing (orig):  This is a Tuuuuuune!  Every aspect of this one screams “crowd rocka!”.  This is a vocal filled electro monster of a tune that screams “Do the Right thing”, which is dance your ASS off!  Deeeeeeeep bass and synthy hooks continuously make M&M stand out as some of the best in the game, Very well done!

Moston & Malente - Do the right thing (Alt Mix):  Here we have ANOTHER slammin mix of the orig, this time a bit more jacked up and the B-line has gotten a bit more of a fidget rerub.  This release is just plain bad ass with out even getting into the remix portion of the release….Splank is definetly on to something here

Moston & Malente - Do the right thing (Twocker RmX):  The Fidget gods have smiled greatly upon these guys and this Remix is perfect proof!  This is possibly the most solid Remix you could ever hope that a major fidget producer could turn out for a release that already has 2 solid Electro mixes…..GOLD!  This starts with a rock solid 4/4 beat complete with the same vocals that even at this point haven’t gotten annoying yet.  Its not to long before your jammin to a full on electro masterpiece!  The B-Line is way to complex, the percussion is simple yet jackin’, and the tune has some great presence.  Twocker has always been a fav of mine, this is why…..

Moston & Malente - Do the right thing (Clark Able RmX):  new guy to the scene steps up amongst heavy hitters such as these and holds his own all the way down to the last kick!  I’ve had the pleasure of hearing a few of Clark Ables tunes and they have such a proper original sound that you really can’t deny this kid what he’s earned.  This is more of a quarky, still jackin electro tune that again…amungst the solid mixes mentioned prior to this… you really couldn’t ask for a better RmX.  He goes his own direction with the vocal and does a Great job with it, not to mention the feel this tune has….its Another GREAT mix

Splank steps up and slams out one HELL of a release!  All of these tunes have something for the Electro head in all of us and it wont be hard to imagine hearing at least one mix of this release on a regular basis.  Here’s your chance, Do the RIGHT THING…..and go pick up this release on Sept 15th

F-Word - Scream for Daddy (VIP MiX):  This song is the SHIT!  F-Word really nailed it with the origional, it  has been in my sets since its release!  This time they beef up the Bass, toss in a solid atmosphere to back the tune and REALLY step up the edits in the tune.  Bass Reflections has always turned out solid releases and this one is BANGIN!  This tune has always had just what you need to get the dance floor up in a hurry with “Scream” vocals andthe kind of B-Line that demands attention.  You often hear of tunes being “the one to go to the bar during” well this is the one to BRING THEM BACK.  Hands down the best release on Bass Reflections this year.  YOU WANT TO OWN THIS TUNE.

Ottone - 69:  Here we have a Slammin tune from Ottone who has always turned out tunes with class.  This one starts off with a very catchy “we gonna get this booty, HEY” and some nice bass stabs.  This vocal has be rinsed for ages, but in the sense of only being in the mix and not after the breakdown…it makes perfect sense.  There is trails of it after, its in good taste tho and the tune really benefits from it.  This is another dance floor jammer and when the 2nd break down comes into the picture…..these ravers never knew what hittem.  This is a excellent tune with a lil something for everyone. Its glitchy, its heavy, its bassy, its super danceable, its a MONSTER TUNE.  Be sure to check this one out as well, you wont regret it!

Bass Reflections sign’s a super hot release on this one andas always, you can find it at most any digi shop.  This is a wonderful way to get the end of the year release schedule going.  You definitely don’t wanna miss what Bass Reflections has in store.  KEEP AN EYE OUT!

Queens English is a UK Hip Hop group who have a new album set for release called “EQ”.  This was my first time even hearing of them and so far I have listened to the album 2 times all the way thru!  This is a wonderful album full of crafty turntable work, extremely catchy lyrics, and a great range of track styles.  This 17 track album comes correct with all types of tunes from the catchy and mellow ”Just” to the abrasive styled “Triple F”.  I find this album to be very versatile in the sense that it has pretty much something for everyone.  Even if UK hip hop isn’t your thing, theres a song on this album you’ll like.  The beats on the album are at most times simple, yet very infectious.  I strongly recommend checking this album out and be sure to stop by their myspace @ www.myspace.com/queensenglish  and theres some pretty cool videos you can check out right here…..

With more and more albums coming out this year, theres going to be a few that absolutly step the game up.  Polar Red bosses 601 tossed us a sampler to thier forthcoming album and it absolutly looks to be one to remember!  After a year slaving away in the studio, Polar Red bosses 601 get set to release a teaser of what to expect from their forthcoming album Dirty North!

601 - Dirty North: This tune is absolutely wicked! It has a nice deep breakdown and has just the right amount of funk thrown in to it. Nice snappy drums and a serious groove throughout the whole tune make it very dancefloor friendly! The second break does a great job of working the tune up to a wickedly produced head banger of a tune . Well done indeed. This is one hell of a teaser to an album. Im officially excited.

601 - Back Then: This tune starts off on a more chill approach. full on pad action and some hats to keep the pace, before a funky ass B-line and some laid back drums move in and get the tune movin right along. This one’s got a nice thick texture it and some great floaty hooks to it. I like the change up from this to Dirty North, It shows a real handle on lots of artistic approaches to the album. When the tune drops out of the breakdown at @ 3 min its super funky and becomes a really moving tune. Im officially even more excited about the full album.

601 - Defnikki: This tunes a mover from the get go. Proper solid breakbeats, a choppy vocal, and some staby edits get it movin into a full on vocal packed breakdown w/ one hell of a B-line that moves in before a drop into a electro style 4/4 affair…nice cross over biz here! The second breakdown keeps the pace w/ a 4/4 beat all the way thru the drop and it isn’t til later on that the tune switches back to a breakbeat to close things out. This is a excellent tune and does a great job of switching things up. Very well guys. Very well.

Filthy beats, heavy bass and a nod to the old school are the order of the day, with the many influences that have shaped the 601 sound over the years proudly on display! Already causing a buzz with those that have heard it, Dirty North is going to do some serious devastation! Available Exclusively from Beatport the 25th of August. These 3 tunes do a WICKED job of showing off what can only be expected to be a MASSIVE album! I my self cant wait to see what the album is like and I’m pretty sure thats gonna be the vote around here too.

Myagi-Shapeshifter (MalenteRemix): Malente turns in a nice mellow RmX, or so one would think.  Blippy / Glitchy rhythems and a stripped down drum loop start this tune off. Don’t be fooled tho, When this tune drops after its “pretty” break down its FULL ON WOBBLE WARFARE!  This is one of those great bitter/sweet types of tunes that progressivly gets dirtier, and more distorted and ends up a monster of tune!  Malente has done a great job of steppin up the game on this RmX and any fan of the orig by Mr. Myagi himself will not feel complete until this is in thier crate.  Wicked tune!

Myagi-Shapeshifter (RebelSketchyRemix):  RebelSketchy steps up and brings this tune in a whole new direction w/ spacey vocals and one hell of a groovy intro.  Big, BiiiG break down biz on this tune full of catchy synth work and excellent edits.  By the time this tune fully drops out of the break its a full on groovin’ breaks RmX that is sure to get a crowd hyped!  This RmX brings the Album Sampler to a full on total package with something for everyone.  RebelSketchy does not disappoint yet again.  Well, WELL done!

Myagi has brought the full on fury with this batch of RmX’s by some of the best in the industry!  Wether its full on wobble house your lookin for, or a nice groovy mother of a breakbeat, hes got ya covered.  This album is slated to drop closer to the end of the year and you can get your grubby audiophile hands on this sampler a bit earlier than that.  Keep an eye out folks….ITS SOME BAD BIZ FER SURE!

THIS IS A 3 CD MASTERPIECE FROM THE FOLKS AT BROKE!  THEY HAVE NEVER LET US DOWN BEFORE AND THE CERTAINLY DONT ON THIS ONE!

CD 1 - The Mix

Anyone who’s ever heard a Autobots mix knows exactly what to expect from this, and you wont be disappointed. They have been putting out quality mixes for ages and with such a proper arsenal of tunes, this mix is great for a long trip in a car! Dope.   The Autobots have  way of mixing like no other and it always makes for a JAMMIN CD!!!!

CD 2 - The new tunes
This Cd is all the unmixed tunes that are fresh to the scene. It includes the previously released tunes :

The Autobots & Timmy Schumacher Ft Mc Kyla & Bex Riley – Attitude
Unbalanced Jack Ft Crown Jewelz & Killa Benz- Flaming Tongues
Agent Alvin & Dunsta – Panelbeater
Affinity – Exodus W/ Agent Alvin RmX
Antiform Ft Tiki – Got To Be You
Antiform Ft Tiki – Got To Be You (Agent Alvin Rmx)

Along with this batch of stompers…

Agent Alvin & Dunsta - Polevault Bandit: This one starts of with the energy that you could only expect from these two. Heavy rolling beats and stabby guitar style skanks have tune starting out with a tasty vibe. The break introduces some heavy bass and some unexpected vocals wind it up to a full on dance floor destroyer full of growling bass and uplifting keys. The second breakdown is where this one really shines and you can expect a big reaction from it once it gets rollin’ again. This is a pretty dope tune for sure.

The Autobots & Screwface Ft Navigator – Apocalypse V.I.P: I don’t know many people that didn’t love this tune when it came out. Batman themed synth strings and the typical broke bass line biz made this one EPIC tune. Well, now there back to either make this one a reborn club anthem…or Destroy all the fond memories we had of it….lets see. Imma be absolutely honest, the second the vocal that for god knows what reason they decided to throw in here came in, I wanted to turn it off. Its short lived tho and the edits and added elements that have been added to the tune are a rather nice revamp to a tune that I absolutely loved when it came out. The vocal comes back a few times and it kills the whole tune for me. Its not even really one of those vocals that’s on the boarder..it just sucks. I suggest checking this one out for sure, cause like we all should remember, this was a wicked tune in its day. Im just not feelin it.

Far Too Loud & Specimen A – Headcase (Screwface Remix): Yet another bad ass tune redone for this massive release. Familiar vocals spattered throughout the intro, this tune works its way to a nice funky build and drops into a rather well done “prolonged” build before the standard screwface beats and bass fully drop. This tune screams screwface, with drummy edits and driving bass. At about 4 min the tune finally turns the corner that it seems its been getting at for quite a while. All in all this is a nice remix and a good job of preserving the orig elements of the tune has been done, while still adding the standard screwface flare.

Antiform Ft Ethical & Neesh - Grip: After such an epic, vocal driven tune as “got to be you” I was very souped to see what this tune had to offer. Nice tight drums and familiar key stabs bring this tune to a spacey breakdown with a vocal callin all the ladies out. This tune will go down well here in the states as it seems a lot like a booty. Not quite my flavor of tune, its well done tho. As far as the tune goes its a STOMPER! I would be so bold as to demand a dub of this one, I really like the tune. Vocals gots to go in this reviewers opinion tho.

Antiform Ft Mc Twincam – Crash: Some refreshing DnB to switch things up a bit. I dig this tune a lot due to its Dirty/Pretty vibe. Groovy vocals from Mc Twincam and Antiform supplies a great tune. Full of driving bass and exceptional DnB flavored drums. I can see this one doing a good job for the club heads and you might even see some bewbies. Good job on this one.

That sums up the extent of Disk 2. Over all this is a great bunch of tunes that’s sure to have something for most spots in a set. I definitely suggest checking this out. Good work all around.

Cd 3 - The archives

Cd 3 is some thing I was really excited to have. This CD hands over most of all the tunes that, if your anything like me, you only had on wax. Im glad to finally have these tunes at my disposal as I don’t usually carry my vinyl’s to the club anymore. This Cd even includes one new number, a mash up of Ctrl-Z – Space Dementia and The Autobots & Deep Impact - The Spanish Tune which is rather nice. Other back catalog tunes on this Cd include:

The Autobots & Screwface Ft Navigator – Burn
The Breakfastaz - Melody
Far Too Loud – Shock Treatment
The Autobots & Deep Impact – Bomba Latino
Ctrl-Z, The Autobots & Screwface – Karma
The Autobots & Deep Impact – Bullet Time
Wavewhore Ft Bex Riley – Funk Pill
The Autobots – Seconds Out
The Autobots Ft Teri & Christian Olde Wolbers – This World
Entity Ft Mc S.A.S - Coming On Deep
The Autobots & Screwface – Flesh EATER (GENERAL MIDI REMIX)

This album comes out in July and you DONT want to miss this.  With such wicked names on the bill this album is amazing!!!!!!!!  KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN NOISE PORN!

as a bonus, heres the video for Antiform - Got to be You…….chk it out

Modular Records just got in touch to remind us that Ladyhawke’s single “Paris is Burning” is out August 23rd. Ladyhawke is not only darn good looking - she’s also a handy songsmith and dapper vocalist.

Paris Is Burning (listen to it above) was written while the wounds from a delirious weekend of assaults on the senses on the River Seine were still fresh; an outrageously fun, footloose summer jam that mixes tumbling drum fills, cheeky, melodic piano and vocal interplay, and an uplifting, whimsical chorus to euphoric effect.

She’s already picked up support from the likes of The Independent and Annie Mac on Radio 1, so “watch this space” is the best advice we can give you!

Just got sent some pretty sweet breaks from Edinburgh label Pyrate Music. If you like deep, growling breaks with a mellow rolling bassline, interspersed with some ragga sounding vocals, you’ll like this track from Mikey Magic called “Volume Electronic.” Have a listen

It got to number 7 in the Trackitdown breaks charts, and you can see why, right?

Officially established in 2006 as a small net-label, Pyrate Music’s Dee Mond is the main releasing/remixing artist. Pyrate Music’s reputation is growing quickly and the recent release of the Sharks EP, featuring Espion, Squatter, Mikey Magic and of course, Dee Mond, showcases their finest talent.

So if that sounds like your cup of tea, get hold of the much vaunted Sharks EP and get more from the label here.

Also got this mix sent over from our friends at Welcome To Dance Club which ticks all the boxes - download it, iPod it, rinse it. There’s some deeply sinful tracks on there which I’ve been loving for ages, and some new stuff which is fresh.

2. Fake Blood - Mars
3. Santiago and Bushido - For What (The Bulgarian Remix)

 Afghan Headspin bring us the first of what I’m sure will be many WICKED releases! With the intent of bringing us music with an attitude these guys have lined up just that for this first one Absolutely Incredible!Mars - Beast….Right from beat one you can tell that mars IS NOT messing around on this tune! Complete with snarling, roaring, fear of god invoking samples this tune is just what it suggests. When I tell you that during the breakdown i felt as though I should grab some kind of protection…..thats because i was truly a bit chilled. By the time the tune drops you really don’t know if you should be scared of the beast….or the BASS! This has got to be the grimiest, dirtiest, fuggin’ balls to the wall tune that I may have ever heard…..I LOVE IT! Big, Big Biiiiiiiig ups to mars and the boys at Standard on this one. This tune gets my official “Big Balla Breaks of the year” Award….and its only June. You MUST hear this tune.
