Ahead of the FWD/Rinse party at Matter in London on Friday, Lucky Me’s Rustie has dropped a tasty half hour mix, dipping into all sorts of goodness from the mellow vibes of Fourtet through to some Ramadanman deepness, via Hudmo’s wonky R&B and Brackles’ driving dubstep.

Shad - Yaa I Get It
Download: Shad - Yaa I Get It (.mp3)
Every once in a while, a track drops that just does that ‘classic Hip Hop’ sound so well that I get swept back to a time when I was in love with the genre and it all seemed so fresh. Shad’s ‘Yaa I Get It’ takes me there with it’s tight rhymes and punchlines, over epic, orchestral samples and splashy drums.
I ain’t...

Hovatron - The R&B Remixes
Download: Hovatron - The R&B Remixes (.zip)
The first time I came across a Hovatron remix was back in the summer of ‘08, when the Patchwork Pirates dropped a promo mix, and for me, the stand-out track was Nas’ ‘I Made You Look’ (Hovatron Remix). It still sounds big, so check it out 25 minutes in. Full tracklist here.
Now, 18 months later, the wunderkind from...

Download: Naughty - Quicktime (Roska Remix)
I’m not going to lie, I’m not too clued up on the UK funky scene! But Roska has been making tracks that I’ve started to hear all over the place! Some swing more towards house, some towards garage and some almost dubstep. This remix is a funky / garagey feeling track with some nice vibes for a spring day. His album is out now, so if...

Mount Kimbie - Serged (Falty DL Remix)
Download: Mount Kimbie - Serged (Falty DL Remix) (.mp3)
This has been knocking around for a minute online, but it’s straight-up quality so it needs to be repped regardless! Released as part of a remix package on Hotfush, Planet Mu’s Falty DL, has taken on Mount Kimbie’s ‘Serged’ and twisted it into a deep, fuzzy, vacuous (in a good way), 2-step roller.

DJ Zinc - Crack House Mix
Download: DJ Zinc - Crackhouse Mix (.mp3)
It was a loss to Drum & Bass when original badman Zinc got bored of 172 bpm breaks. But D&B’s loss turned out to be 4x4’s gain. Now I’ve never been a real fan of house, but having checked out Zinc’s own brand of ‘crack house’, I quite like it. It’s basically fidget house, but with his junglist influences...

Samiyam has to be one of the most unique beat makers out there, coming in with a stupidly dope live set with cuts to match, his music is definitely some of my favorite. This beat, courtesy of the great XLR8R, is forthcoming on All City in their LA 10” series. The release is split with Ras G and the whole thing is sounding seriously fresh. Nod ya head;...

I had previously not heard of Approach before seeing this new download on Bandcamp, but decided to give it a good listen. It’s some seriously soulful future funk business, with vocals from Reggie B. Definitely makes for a wicked release and the B Bravo remix and instrumental definitely tops it for me! I’m a huge fan of what B Bravo has been up to in...

So I wasn’t sure whether to post this a couple days back, but I haven’t been able to stop listening to it so I’m gonna!
Calling DJ Dials’ work on this track an ‘edit’ is a bit of an undersell. Yeah he’s sampled Hymph Mngo heavily, but he’s also programmed his own drums,...

Bastille you say? Yep it’s new, but I think before too long you will hear that name bouncing all around the musical world.

I recently caught up with him to find out what’s been cooking and...

This tune has so much emotion to it, it’s one of those songs you can just put on and sit by yourself and wonder what the hell you’re doing on this planet. The whole new Bonobo album is totally amazing in my opinion, which is the same for all his previous albums beforehand, the guy is a musical genius as far as I am concerned. If...
