Hostage is from Scotland

Been very much into my disco house and bass induced electro recently. Some fab remixes and stonking choons working their way into my cd wallet, so i'm gonna share my love for bouncy beats with those of you who won't be out on the town tonight.
Had it a while back but a good example of some disco house mixed with ze bass (originally called 'I Get High')
Shinichi Osawa isn't from Scotland, but I've always been rather tickled by his productions. Here is a very Fake Blood - Mars sounding track called - EEAA
One more for the speakers in your life; M.A.N.D.Y & Booka Shade - Donut (Boy 8-bit remix) Listen for the immense drop on 3.58, it's worth the wait.

Don't joke

Well done to L-While for booking the Joker at the next Dubstep City night in Poo's (a sweat pit of a club usually only screeching out cheese/indie/metal/crossfaded pop arse crap).
Joker's Myspace has enough choonage to keep your ears ringing for a week or two so click the link to enjoy some nice grimey beats.
I'll be honest and say i've ever been to a Dubstep City night (sorry Leon), as I'm either working or washing my feet/face/hair. But Joker does kinda do it for me Dubstep wise so it does tempt me a little bit.
Keep those teeth clean kids.

Something good from the 80's?!

Even though I am old, I don't remember the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood track - Power of Love, from the 80's, but apparently it is/was a big deal.
I'm also a sucker for lovely house music with a vocal and a melodic beat...... "tosser". I hear you shout, as that is what I would also say, but this remix which could be old like me (I do not know) is goooood. I recently found it while surfing and was pleasurably surprised and actually very much enjoy it. The Billie Jean tribute/steal is obvious and the vocal stays true to the original so it's mildly successful as a track. Well done Players Please.

Go Go Dubstep + Hip Hop

So I was listening to Drake - Forever (Nero remix) (trust me you want to download this) and at last I thought, someone has realised that the wonky beats and bass that we always associate with Dubstep can go so screamingly well with some rap shiz. There are so many highly requested average hip hop/rnb tracks around the 140 bpm dub mark that could have some wonky bass beats shoved up there arse for proper dancefloor action... maybe i'll try this myself (the remixing that is). The Dubstep I am so naively into, usually involves some vocals. A hot lady i.e. Ellie Goulding (+ Jakwob) would be a good example. The deep Dubstep really doesn't do it for me, I love deep house, dirty electro and the like, and can dance like a retard to it for ages, but Dubstep of this sort is just soo slow! I don't know much about Dubstep if i'm honest, but I do take time to find the bouncy stuff (usually remixes done by accomplished dub artists) that always sound good on the dancefloor. So I challenge those reading this (it may only be me!) to listen to this dub track and not nod your head, tap your foot or get up and fully wonk about - Turboweed enjoy
