RIP Dress 2 Sweat / Numbers power moves

OK I admit I'm biased. But ever since their first release of booty, bmore and club bass edits, Dress 2 Sweat has been one of my favourite labels. Earlier this month myself and L-Vis had the pleasure of dropping the final ever Dress 2 Sweat release in the form of the Night Slugs EP.
D2S isn't over however - it's across-the-board party aesthetic will last on as they amalgamate with sister labels Stuff Records and Wireblock to form Numbers Records, a move that will see them basically taking over Glasgow/ the world. All is explained at www.nmbrs.net

Our aforementioned 12" comes with a CD mixed by Jackmaster that showcased the label's 12-strong catalog, showcasing the label's early roots in bmore and booty edits, thru to hybrid ghetto house, bassline and finally our own material, whatever genre that is.
To celebrate the release, the end of an era and the start of a new one, here's the mix for free download, for anyone haven't reached the vinyl!

Baobinga

Baobinga's new material, both solo and alongside DJ ID, is bangin. It's got both the subtlety and dancefloor payload needed to withstand the current hybrid-bass climate. In fact Baobinga and ID's version of United Groove is my current choice to drop!

In this mix Binga lays out his vision for the perfect contemporary rave hybrid sound, bangers alongside the mash ! Lets go>

JAM CITY in the mix for Lower End Spasm

I post this mix with great pride!
Jam City's aesthetic is completely unique and so on point. He takes a stripped-down but psyehcedlic path through house, grime and juke, via synth-drone, afro-electro and warm vintage boogie-funk.

You won't have heard many of the tracks in this 30 minute epic before.

Listen out especially for Jam City's own productions and edits scattered throughout.

NIGHT SLUGS CARNIVAL AFTERPARTY!!!!

BOK BOK'S BIRTHDAY YARDCAST

LETS GO!!!!

This Saturday I'm celebrating my birthday by inviting round some of my favourite DJs, and we'll be streaming live audio/visuals from the Night Slugs South East London bunker.

DJs playing will be Oneman, Braiden, Manara, Girl Unit, Jam City, Greena, myself and other guests passin thru.

Lock in and join the fun at www.ustream.tv/CHANNEL/BOK_BOK from 5pm GMT onwards


WHAT'S A YARDCAST?



Several weeks ago DJ Oneman started streaming live sets from his bedroom at www.ustream.tv/channel/yard-sessions. With little or no prior notice he would hit the stream button and jump in the mix, only after announcing it on Twitter of course. Oneman coined the term "yardsessions" for these broadcasts, and when I saw that I knew he was on to something.

I had to borrow the idea from him.

So - a yardcast is a spontaneous home/studio broadcast. It's is a phase-shift in braodcasting, what the emergence of interent radio was to FM stations.
But unlike the (relatively!) clockwork rotas of Rinse and Sub FM, the yardcast format is less like a radio show and more like a live event. It may be dissembodied, but what the 'event' of the yardcast loses in physicality it gains in universal accesiblity. We're not limited by budgets, venue curfews, commercial concerns or geographic location. Everyone can join in this party.
Unlike the institutional regidity of station broadcasts, a yardcast slots perfectly alongside tweets and status updates into the real-time continuous, ongoing stream of discourse.

That's the pompous, but nontheless important part over.
The rest is a big all-day party you're all invited to.

Mos Dan's top Wiley

It's safe to say we're big Wiley fans, not just of his music but of his epic carreer and personality.

When Dan told me he was convinced to put together his Top 10 Wiley, I just shook my head at the sheer scale of the task.
We'll he's actually done it, over at FACT's blog!


damn

night slugs 11 / radio with Kingdom

When Kingdom was in town for the Night Slugs summer party last month I was luclky enough to convince him to come DJ back 2 back with me on my Sub FM show.

There's no CDJs in Sushon studios (serato 4 lyf lol) but after a few retweets we were kindly accomodated by INVERTED AUDIO
We were late to the session and had to rush setting up, so one deck would only play Serato and the other only CDs

We were forced to play one track each, but this 1 for 1 thing ended up really pushing and pulling on this set in a cool way. There was a mad thunderstorm in the background btw with massive hailstones, it was june.

TONIGHT!!!!!


We're proud to invite one of the most forward-thinking house producers in the world Christian Martin, founding member of the unstoppable Dirty Bird soundsystem alongside the Claude Vonstroke.

We think Cooly G's cyborg deep and tech is the perfect match for Christian's subversive music
I'm thinking of this night as kind of a soundclash between US and UK wrong-but-right house.

Join us at East Village. We'll also be giving away the new Trouble & Bass compilation CD!

Jackmaster in the mix for Lower End Spasm

Blackdown writes about a new wave of DJs in his Pitchfork Column:
a small but innovative cluster of producer/DJs, from Ben UFO to Oneman, Brackles to Braiden, Alex Bok Bok to Grievous Angel, Shortstuff, Martin Kemp and Joy Orbison...

I move to add Jackmaster to that list - one of my favourite DJs and the curator of both the influential Wireblock and Dress 2 Sweat labels. Along with the Numbers and LuckyMe collectives Jackmaster has defined Glasgow as a glowing outpost of global gutter music. And like some of the DJs listed above, Jack's ear for cross-genre party bangers has been taking him deeper of late.

This mix is hard! Recorded live and executed to perfection. We're proud of this one, enjoy:

SUPRA 1 in the mix for Lower End Spasm

The latest episide of the Lower End Spasm podcast comes from Krakow's SUPRA1, new members of our NYC family the Trouble & Bass crew. They recorded this mix live especially for us, seamlessly charting the territory between that str8-to-the-floor "heavy bass" sound and the deeper vibe that Night Slugs and the Spasm have been subtly moving towards this year. In other words a perfect summary of what we mean when we say "gutter house & heavy bass". LETS GO!!!
