Bib-beats

Holy Jesus, it's been a while since I've posted, so straight to the musical madness.


So my Magnetic Man craze I think has passed...


Robyn I can give or take though, but A-Trak my ears get along with very well. Check out these two from the man himself.

A-Trak - Ray Ban Vision by Mister Bibby

Before I head out these days, although Robyn and A-Trak tickle me, Dada Life usually please me more.
Chemical Jump are always knocking out juicy choons and this one ain't any different. 
Staygold- Video Kick Snare (Dada Life Remix)

I'm not sure if I totally missed this last track I'm gonna share with you barstard people, when the original came out ages ago, but apparently I did. Maybe I was too busy looking at porn and not my beatport shopping trolley...
Anyway, here it is.

Rusko - Hold On (Oliver Twizt) by Mister Bibby

Turns out it's not on Beatport... good times!


Mister B

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. 

Dizzee Rascal vs Dizzy Gillespie ft. KRS ONE - Dizzy Sirens (Jimi Needles' Big Band Cocktail) by Jimi Needles

Enjoy

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?!



Jakwob - Here With Me - Offical Video from James Jacob on Vimeo.


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.

Quickie

So just a quick one before I head out on the tiles.
Hope you all enjoyed Manila Killa's choons and the quick words they had on the blog?


DJ Fresh, in my mind is commercial Drum and Bass, as I know who he is and what he does! 
So to kick off this quickie post, here is a new track from him that really sucks you in with its quick and bouncy beginning, pulls you through the bush, spits in your face, and then sings nicely to you.
Standard stuff but its good, can just hear it blowing a speaker or two in XL...


DJ Fresh - Factory by Mister Bibby

The second choon I wanna share with you is one I'm listening with intrigue to, over and over and is suprisingly (I'm not keen on mash ups) a mash up I can't wait to play out. 
The beginning and end of the song will be familiar and even a bit boring to you, but it's the middle that I like. Kind of the opposite of reading a book, or what is true about a jam and peanut butter sandwich.
SHM vs Daft Punk – ONE More Time (Ilyass E. Edit)
Thanks to everyone at Earmilk for shedding some light on it.
I'll make sure I keep track of IIyass too...


Thats it for now... 

Manila Killa

Been listening to Chris Lake's Essential Mix and it has been pretty standard so far. Nothing crazily good I mean, just a 'does what it says on the tin' kinda feel, but hey, its only Chris Lake so what do I expect?!

Anyway you flippin puppies, I mentioned in the previous post that i'd contacted Manila Killa after also posting one of there choons on here, and those fine fellows got back to me sharpish.

So the q&a goes something like this...

Put a Bibeat on it said

I'm from England, you're from the US. What would you perceive as the biggest difference in their perspective 'dance music' scenes?

Manila Killa

Manila Killa 

I actually just moved back to the motherland, Manila, Philippines recently, to finish up my last year in high school! It's been a great experience so far, as I get to enjoy the horrors of their academic IB program! Back on point - I think the main difference between the two dance music scenes in the US and the UK is the conservative level of the music. The United States are fairly new to the scene, and are therefore experimenting with their sound. But soon the United States will have its place in dance music. Unfortunately, I could be wrong (I am only 17) and I haven't experienced as much as I wanted to. The only show I've been to was to watch Deadmau5 perform for Washington D.C. back in November. It took place near a rundown neighborhood, but soon it will be that America will appreciate dance music as much as the UK does, to the point where everyone can conveniently enjoy it.

Who is the real Manila Killa?

The REAL Manila Killa is me, who is responding to this message (Chris Gavino). In the past year I worked with my close cousin in the States. He helped a lot with the ideas, and I mainly worked on the productions of the songs. And since I am also back in Manila, I am able to work with my close Indian friend, who has no musical experience, but whom I'm sure can share a lot of curry for our late night studio sessions! Music is just a hobby for now, but I hope it can develop into something more.

Which of your featured Soundcloud creations/mixes/mash ups took the longest/really got on your ball sacking nerves and why?

The featured Soundcloud song that I think took the longest was my recent remix of The Glitch Mob's "Drive It Like You Stole It" featuring a rapper and friend who I've known since the 6th grade. Marionik is his name, and he will be doing big things in the future (He's only entering his 2nd year in high school!). The reason why it took the longest is because it was catered for another person to do vocals over, and this was the first time I had ever collaborated, so I wanted it to be perfect.

Manila Killa

Many thanks to Manila Killa for his input and quick response. I wonder if Deadmau5 will answer some questions? Rusko? Hospital?

Ronson, Manila Killa and Stanton Warriors

It's been a genuinely long time since I've posted some music to the world, slash 2 ppl (Hi Dad). 

So on this very rainy afternoon before dinner I will rectify this situation with three songs.

The first is by a duo known as Manilla Killa. This track is one their first creations and it's epic but on a subtle scale. It doesn't blow your mind, but it takes you on a journey and this makes it listenable x200. Hopefully I'll have a quick Q&A and some more musical goodness from them soon, but for now listen to this, a lot.

In Still Time (Drafttt) by Manila Killa

The second track this evening is about a year late for the masses of zombies wandering through chart land.
I would however, go so far as to say that this remix by Stanton Warriors is better than the original. Big beats and breakdowns match the Dnb original by Sub Focus, but add longevity to it I feel. See what you think.


SubFocus - RockIt (Stanton Warriors Edit) by Stanton Warriors

Last and by no means least is newer track given a going over by U-Tern.
The original I will not shy from shy away from saying is irritable like that hair in your beer you can't bloody get at cause you've had 7 already. You end up drinking it or pouring beer down you trying to avoid it.
My good friend McMess of SmoothestGooch fame, suggests that Russ Chimes' attempted remix is better, but U-Tern just hits the Nu Disco smooth but bouncing vibe for me.


Mark Ronson & The Business INTL - Bang Bang Bang (U-Tern's Disco Dub) by U-Tern


If you're in Bath tonight, Central Bar is the place to be. Jeremy Guscott was there last week so I can promise he won't be there this week.

Sunday @ Glasto

...and so by Sunday we were sweating our balls off but looking forward to beating the Germans.

We sadly only caught 5 acts throughout the whole of Sunday...

The first was Paloma Faith who was weirdly wonderful

The second act was directly after Paloma, on (as you can see) the Pyramid stage.

We only stayed to watch Norah Jones because both me and James bought a ridiculously large Pizza and Curry respectively.

'Come away with me' features below...

Then the football happened, we drank lots and trundled off to hear the end of what sounded like a fabulous Faithless performance.

Stevie Wonder. It was fabulous. We sung, we danced and although I wouldn't say he was amongst my top three performances of the week, that is only because of the high expectation that he duly satisfied.

We went on to see Snap! perform some horrendous euro pop, before pleasing the crowd and doing Rhythm is a Dancer for us.

and Glasto 2010 was over.
Glasto is a real festival where there is a sense of community. Unless you get your tent ravaged by burglars then everyone is your friend. 
May not god bless Glastonbury but someone else, of much higher and greater power.

Saturday @ Glasto

So onto Saturday, and with the whole place anticipating a footballing victory on Sunday we went to see the Lightning Seeds first thing. Now the lead singer is a little old and his voice was never really super amazing but here (click for link to video) is a video of a wonderfully acoustic version of 'Three Lions'.

A quick visit to the Dance Village to see Parker who wasn't really on his game, but then one of the highlights and Lissie. I was sent a promo of her new album just before we left for Glastonbury and was clever enough to listen to it and then  make plans to see her. For she has a magical voice on CD but its even better live. Plus she is gorgeous, so if you're bored of Ellie Goulding being beautiful then listen to some Lissie.

Start with this track... 'Cuckoo' is one of many good ones on the album 'Catching a Tiger'. (MF Links)

 Lissie - Cuckoo by Mister Bibby (Soundcloud)

Jakwob (Video link) was very good, but also on the tiniest little stage so was mega busy. 

So I trundled up to the acoustic stage to see ole Eavis chat to Radio 2 favourite Johnny Walker about the festival so watch 'A very poor quality video clip of the interview'.


The early evening passed me by as I wasn't too fussed about the line up, but set off out again to see a very poor Kelis performance which we all ignored and then set off in different directions. I stuck with the danceness and had a very good system of dancing, then pissing, then drinking... and so on and so forth most notably to A Skillz (Video link), then to Kissy Sell Out and also a bit of High Contrast (Video Link)

and so goes Saturday....

Glasto, a place where it helps being tall.

The man who lends you soap in Glastonbury is god. Much like the man Eavis who created the festival.

It's been over for a week already, but here is my quick musically led story, mashed full of pictures, video's and choons of my second trip to Worthy Farm.

We got there on Wednesday, England were shit. Won't be talking about them again.

Thursday night saw an Annie Nightingale Pussy Parlure, kick off proceedings but she had an awesome line up, so huge queues meant we went straight to see Beardyman who may be in Bath soon... keep your ears open for that! (Video - Beardyman @ Glasto). He was good but we also recently saw him in a more intimate venue in Bristol where I would say he was better. So enjoy the choon below, which was done with a more than capable beat maker who goes by the name of A-Skillz.

A-Skillz & Beardyman - Got the Rhythm by Mister Bibby

I think Thursday ended with alcohol and random wanderings, so i'll move straight to friday...

Rolf Harris @ Glasto 2010

Above is a wonderfully nostalgic video of Rolf Harris performing on the Pyramid stage first thing on friday, which was both packed and bathed in sun.

Quickly zipping across to the John Peel stage, we all watched Miike Snow. Who weren't amazing live but were extremely delightful, breathing fresh life into an album that I love. The video Miike Snow @ Glasto 2010 is just a quick snippet of the original, which was remixed by Caspa and available for a quick listen/download here on Soundcloud.

Friday afternoon/evening was all about the West dance tent though... where Boy 8-bit did a very good job of kicking off a fab line up.

After a quick poo and a fill up on liquid, I trundled back to the dance area where I caught some Example. Boi was he crap. His MC-ing and chart music bored me very quickly.

So I was pleasantly surprised by Chromeo who were in one of the other 5 tents in the dance village. Much better synth vocals and electro beats from the duo. Shame they were on at 5.15 in the afternoon!

Rusko next, and although the tent was busy at 6pm and everyone was loving the heavy choonage, I didn't fancy dancing near a few hundred gurning teens who loved the sound of a 140bpm beat a bit too methodically for my liking.

So I headed over to see Nneka, and boy were they good/hot.

Their rendition of the well known Chase and Status remixed 'Heartbeats' (Soundcloud Link Here) was awesome... go get some of their choons and enjoy the magical vocals and chilled reggae beats.

Fake Blood next up. He had earlier joined Boy 8-bit for his set and was taking the piss out of the red haired dj for being too serious when mixing, which reminded me a LOT of my rather serious face when I DJ.... but in Boy 8-bit at least I know someone else who also looks as stern as I do! Fake Blood just rocked it really, not much else to say.

Finally and by no means least on Friday night I had to go and see ole Norman. He is awesome live and he didn't disappoint me. Red flare, Chase and Status just before, and his own awesome intro are all in the videos below.... enjoy.

Chase and Status P1

Fatboy Slim P1 (Doesn't 'Praise You' sung like that just give you goosebumps?!)
