This one is getting a lot of play around here recently although its been out for some time now. Night Facilities captured the essence of Adele’s original and brought it to the dance floor quite nicely.
Big things coming from the Trouble & Bass camp this year. Drop The Lime continues to be the evangelist for the label and the New York City bass music sound. Not to mention working with electronic music’s elite producers on the upcoming Machines Dont Care project . Another DJ/Producer that we have been really excited about is Boy 8-Bit. At the end of March he released a track called “Fog Bank” on Trouble & Bass with remixes from Jack Beats and Acid Jacks. Keep an eye out for this guy. He has a laundry list of new productions and remixes on the way!

Big thank you goes out to Paul Devro and Mad Decent for sharing this one. A lot of people were disappointed that Richard “Aphex Twin” James did not do a proper live set with all of his hyper drum and bass gear. Instead he opted for a DJ set that spanned hip-hop, acid house, and drum and bass. We weren’t able to make it this year but it sounds like he still got a warm reception. Enjoy!
Keep an eye on Kenny Mitchell. This guy is working behind the scenes on some exciting projects with some familiar faces on this blog. “Do U Feel Me” is a track off his latest EP “Back in the day” on Next Dimension Music. Its a deep jackin’ track with a few recognizable vocal samples splashed in for good measure. Definitely some hip-hop influence here coming from his home town of Brooklyn, NY. Look for an exclusive DJ mix to be posted soon!
We want more Jaxx!! Getting anxious for the new full length to hit the streets sometime later this year. In the meantime we will have to settle for a remix. This one is getting some love on Radio 1 but havent seen it talked about much in the blogosphere for some reason. Either way, here is a little taste of Basement Jaxx for you. This time around they have given Adele some Jaxx flava.
This is classic!! Herbie Hancock introducing Quincy Jones to an early version of music software (1983). Peep out the touch screen action! Thank you to the good folks at Curb Crawlers for the heads up on this one.
