Careless EP - Dusky



Dusky's Careless EP got released back in September on Aus Music but man it just does not get old. I could literally listen to this ALL DAY son. Vocal samples that hook you so easily, chunky dance floor bass, and that dark Dusky sound that gives the boys an ominous edge. Play it agaaaiinnn.

Brown Bread - Mak & Pasteman



Hailing from Leeds, the Mak & Pasteman boys frequented Subdub often in their younger years which ended up heavily influencing their sound. Forthcoming in November on Naked Naked, they've smashed it once again with this heavy bass, tech-house beauty.

Shadow Child


Shadow Child, real name Simon Neale, has been dominating alotta air time on my ipod recently. Having moved on from 'Dave Spoon' to break the creative boundaries associated with the name, Shadow Child's bass heavy tech house has been tearing up dancefloors all over the shop. This new project burst on the scene with the Dirtybird release 'String Thing' in early 2012 and has gone on to prove the change of name was no mistake. The uplifting trademark sound born of Shadow Child is instantly recognisable and annoyingly infectious in tracks like '23' feat. Tymer, his remix of 'Annie's Song' and obviously the huge Hot Natured remix of 'Reverse Skydiving'. Most recently and possibly my favourite to date is the euphoric remix of Movement's 'Feel Real' with stripped down and seductive vocals complemented perfectly with the aforementioned distinguishable, deep bassline which has cemented him in the proud place of my new obsession. I salute you Shadow Child/Simon/Dave.

The Gettup - Eats Everything & Justin Martin


One of the finest collabs of the year so far, Dirtybird superstars have come together to produce this stormer of a record on Claude Von Stroke's label. In spite of the fact that Eats Everything and Justin Martin come from opposite sides of the world (West Coasts of the UK and US respectively) it hasn't stopped them being a collaborative force to be reckoned with, having brought us 'Feather Fight' earlier this year and with a full-length album in the pipeline for 2014. 'The Gettup' boasts a catchy chopped up vocal sample that builds into a storm of bass that will have any listener out the door and on their way to de clube in seconds.
