An artists impression

Like the picture?

Just dropped is a wonderful Deadmau5 remix of Pendulum's new one, Watercolour.

Now Pendulum aren't Drum and Bass and admittedly I don't really like much of there stuff as mentioned before, but this new one has jumped up and grabbed me ass in a very pleasant way.

I think it's the vocal that really gets me, but the drops and lean towards DnB also please the ears.

Feast your ears on these...

Nutritional Drum and Bass

Yippee!

Over the past week at varied gigs in Bath I have come across some new (to me anyway) D&B, which is rather pleasant.

Firstly after a tip or two from a drunken gentlemen in Club XL, this almost year old but lovely track from Logistics took my ears on a nice liquid trip.

A super duper exclusive remix by one of my favourite if a little commercial D&B producers Blame now...

TV Rock's - In the air has been out for what seems like years but has had a release and a re-release with tons of remixes in the past month. Stop the press though, this D&B mash from Blame definitely rocks my screen.

This next dude is from Slovakia. And he shares his name with a nutritional supplement. Which makes internet surfing not only interesting, but also informative.

Everything I've heard on his Soundcloud and My Space page I love. It's exactly my kind of Drum and Bass; just close enough to your face to get you pissed off, but with a story to tell and a pleasant tone so that you don't want to hit it. Right on the spot if you ask me... which you didn't.

B-Complex - Beautiful Lies

A Slower Beat Per Minute

Nu Disco. Apparently is music with influences from the 70's or 80's and it works, whether its synth heavy or disco-esk it doesn't really matter. Obviously it's been around for a while but some releases recently have caught my ear. Zane Lowe recently spouted about how happy he was that people were catching onto the slower bpm variety (110-120) of Nu Disco, so heres a selection of what's in my bag at the minute with Zane in mind...

Gorillaz - Stylo (Louis La Roche remix) (112bpm)

First single off their new album, with the very joyful Louis on duty here. He says "I made this inbetween working on my own stuff, just a bit of fun" - So enjoy and don't take it too seriously.

Danger - 00h00 (Feat Vyle) (112bpm)

Very popular with my speakers this track. Danger bounces and bends the electro pop through a lovely 5 mins very easily. Was in the Choon Chart for a long time.

Azari & III - Reckless with your love (119bpm)

I discovered this while getting bored listening to Axwell's Top Ten tracks of the month. More 80's pop than 70's disco but top vocals and well balanced track that never lets go of you.

Symbol - Love Juice (Danger remix) (117bpm)

Big love to Earmilk for their continual love of electronic beats.

Enjoy... and let me know what you think of the choons.

Hammering Political Incorrectness

Are you English? Was over thinking again the other day while watching the Rugby, and wondered why if the government are so keen on making us all 'European' do the four home nations still sing their individual national anthems? Shouldn't we have a British anthem? Or even a European one....? O dear, this opens all kinds of questions up to me, perhaps though if you could answer the first one, I will sleep easier.

Right, onto the music.

Here are some songs that will make that sunshine we are having (In England anyway), even more pleasurable and are also being hammered on the dancefloors i'm gracing at the minute.

Rude Boy by Rihanna has that annoyingly catchy feel to it, but not the original. No no, far too drab and slow. Luny P who hails from Australia has created a wonderful 'Booty Breaks' remix however. The TC remix i'll find shortly, but for now this just gets people moving and shaking whenever and wherever I play it. Download it, listen to it and find out more about LunyP on soundcloud......

Rhianna - Rude Boy (LunyP Booty Breaks Mix) by lunyp

Jason Derulo. I won't say anymore. Afrojack though I will tell you about. His remix of Watcha Say has had for me hugely different reactions but I love it, I'd play it 3 times a night if I had three different crowds in front of me. It messes around with the original but keeps the vocal we all know, while hammering us with a heavy and vibrant electro beat. The last third of the track however is for me the best when you get both at the same time.

He hails from Holland (feels wrong saying the Netherlands) and has recently done remixes of PokeHerFace and Show Me Love, but as well as the Watcha Say remix, here is a flavour of his own work.

Watcha Say (Afrojack remix)

Funk the Streets - Afrojack

Don't forget about Drum and Bass

A few new Drum and Bass Delights for you today peoples.

While I've been busy with my usual love of electro, and discovering the many different dubstep remixes that people do of every feckin La Roux or Ellie Goulding track, I've pretty much forgotten about Drum and Bass...

Is it not a winter thing maybe? Seasonal? Or the fact that not much decent has popped up at all over the cold months.

Anyway I can't understand this loss of love, but these next tracks should help both you and I regain our 'summer' spring in our step that involves a bpm much higher than anything else.

Blame - On My Own feat. Fudah Guy&Tinchy Stryder (DnB mix)

-----(Link removed by request)

The first is a fresh new track from Blame. I like Blame, he is one of those producers who's name goes standardly well on a remix package and his own tracks always find their way to my hard drive. Yeah it's not crazily different but it's easy on the drum and bass ears. There is also a Drumsound and Bassline remix which I also recommend but the D&B one from Blame himself wins as the top track today.

It's almost cheesy this one especially with the addition of the Stryder. It kinda works though.

Pendulum - Watercolor (You Tube)

I don't like Pendulum. I couldn't tell you exactly why, but there is something not very Drum and Bass about them. It's probably the fact that everyone requested Pendulum at Flirt for years when saying they wanted D&B and although I hear their live shows are awesome, I think their commercial success has kinda ruined what love I may have had for them.

Cheers to facebook and Ben McAleer for settings my eyes to this. Ben needs your votes. So vote. Vote.

Anyway... new track... thoughts?

I'm not sure if I actually now re-love D&B at all. If that's all I have to offer.

Ah well.

MC's can kiss my nicking nippy

So it's been a week since I last posted and the rain has been replaced with the sun. Good job world.

Onto the choonage and Uffie. This track was released wheeeeeey back in December but the remixes below are a nice little package that add nicely to an already tasty original.

Uffie - MC's Can Kiss (tube of the you link)

Uffie - MC's Can Kiss (Starkey redid) mf

Uffie - MC's Can Kiss (Zombie Disco Squad) mf

All three are juicy, yes?

Now here at Messentialbibeats I like to post new stuff, old stuff and maybe stuff that (overuse of stuff in that sentence) I've mulled over for a short while and decided that I've now fallen deeply in love with.

These next two tracks I saw and before listening knew they would be good.

Major Lazer - Bruk Out (Foamo remix)

The album from ML still gets pumped in my room and in Clubs on a regular basis and I always enjoy a bit of Foamo. I enjoy this track no less. Good solid dirty stuff to get you deep and down tonight. Also check the Mad Decent label if you like, they give out good shit.

Wolfgang's 5th Symphony - Original Mix

O Wolfgang Wolfgang, how I love stuff like this. It's geared for a big room, but sounds good anywhere. The cuts from and into the classical keep the longish track fresh and it packs a nice punch too. The breakdowns are of course sublime and some nice vocal intervention midway through as well.

BONUS: Pikasso's Splice dub - Teardrop

Enjoy your Marvellous Monday
