Freshers

It's just about half time for me during freshers week. 5 nights down and 4 more to go. 
So to help your ears and my head survive what is undoubtedly a tough time for us both, I'll quickly share some choons the interweb has drawn my attention to recently.


Wolfgang Gartner - Illamerica (preview) (click for download link)
Gotta Dance Dirty provide the musical pleasure here. It's absolutely quality although definitely not 320k. When this gets released I'm buying it, no doubt. Highly energetic it doesn't take long to get going does it?! Even the drops are strong, giving that overall feel of a banger. Wonderful.


This video from the guys over at Squeegie is rather tasty too.


Soundcloud is wonderfully good fun and nicely social as well. Jimi Needles has been tickling me with some cool cuts recently, heres an older remix of his. It's proper infectious.

Eerie is a great word

Jakwob has always been so good at the atmospheric Dubstep that I love, oh so very much.
This track is sublime in the way it controls your tapping fingers, stomping foot and/or swaying head, which by the way kick off straight away.
It kinda wobbles professionally from eerie voices and instruments to electronic beeps in a way that not many other dubstep producers do.
At Glastonbury Jakwob really hit the hard and deeper dubstep as obviously the crowds were there for that and not any remixes they had already heard a hundred times. But its this kinda track that gets me and Jakwob does it so well. Can I call it funky soulful classical dubstep please?!

From start to finish, this next track will always have 100% of my attention.
McMess over at The Smoothest Gooch kindly shared some new remixes of an already super mixed track and arguably Skream's first remix of 'In for the Kill' by La Roux, allowed the masses to indulge in a bit of dubstepping. Many moons later and some more mixes are out. Danger's Ocean Remix (click to download) is slow but by no means does it lack punch. Like a lesson in French electronic house and sublime vocals, it also reminds me greatly of something older, which I can't put my finger on. Pure gold.


Tensnake - Coma Cat (Treasure Fingers Remix) by Mister Bibby


I shall reduce my wordage for the above track.
I played it twice the other night at the Earl of Manvers because I couldn't bare having three hours of my life inbetween listening to this.
I hope you'll feel the same.
