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 clear for all to see, and featuring a bunch of guest vocalists from the UK scene, like JME and Ms Dynamite.

Check the mix HERE. Production is on point as you’d expect.

By the way, props to Zinc for having had the balls to switch things up.

Bastille - Bare All Mix

Download: Bastille - Bare All Mix (feat. inja)

Bastille you say? Yep it’s new, but I think before too long you will hear that name bouncing all around the musical world. The younger brother of Drum ‘n’ Bass stars Nu:tone and Logistics, Bastille has had some things up his sleeve for quite some time now. I recently caught up with him to find out what’s been cooking and grab an interview for Media Contender, based in LA. This mix spans a variety of tempos and styles and I challenge anyone to get through the mix without getting at least one of the tracks stuck in your head for at least a week! Enjoy and be sure to read the full interview here.

Dopeness from Kwatro x Robot Koch - read on…

Kwatro x Robot Koch
After introducing the ‘Kwatro x Spinners’ series with a stunning mix by Dj LeftOoo, we are now proud to feature a mix by the the rising muchacho grosero Robot Koch. This huevón is shooting at us with a lot of unheard dopeness, collected during his triumphant tour trough the us and Mexico since early january.

We don’t release the tracklist on principle, because we are convinced that it is much more interesting to be surprised by the selection. Where is the fun if you already know? But in this case, he told us, he received so many untitled music files, which he partly used, so he couldnt provide a tracklist anyway. I am still curious about some artist and tracknames in this mix, so if you know the complete tracklist by listening to it, you are a real music geek, but a real music lover too.

Top up your spanish skills to know what ‘muchacho grosero’ and ‘huevón’ means. Shouts to lovely Graciella and my homie Rob. Did you realised the dope Artwork? Outstanding again and i am just waiting to get a 96 on canvas!

Just got around to listening too it after saving it from soundcloud a few days ago and it’s worthy of all your ears, beautiful chilled out dubstep vibes from the likes of Scuba, Data, Greena, Joe and more. Mixed together by Appleblim for Apple Pips.

Bitesize Beats - Synthesize Me Mix

Download: LA MIXETTE vol24 / BITESIZE BEATS “Synthesize Me” (.mp3)

If you peeped our first podcast you will have heard how dope Bitesize’s mixes are, so we had to link you all to his new one for La Mixette! Musique Large is a blog you should be checking on the reg as they are dropping fresh mixes most weeks, here is what they had to say..

So, now let’s introduce BITESIZE BEATS from Nottingham / UK. His huge beat “Mixette” called “Synthesize me” will give you a large impression of his dj talent. Heis a veteran mixmaker, starting out doing guest mixes for Ninja Tune’s legendary Solid Steel show in 2003, and has been played on XFM, BTTB and Electronic Explorations, among others.

Styles have changed over the years from the early cut + paste hip-hop/breakbeat stuff to the more recent psychedelic beat journeys, also taking in electronics, dubstep, ambient, soul, downtempo etc (often in the space of a single mix). Mixes are constructed in Ableton, all tunes being cut up, rearranged, re-edited and layered to within an inch of their lives…
