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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Soundcloud, Mixed in Key and That Horse Race.
I've been DJing for about 4 years now and have owned the 'DJ tool' Mixed in Key for 2 of those years. So why the fuck haven't I used it properly till now?! It works amazingly well and although I would prefer to be able to hear keys in my head myself, if it improves sounds then I shall continue with it.Soundcloud is something I came to just after this christmas, and boy is it a little gold mine. Some of my favourite artists don't have a Soundcloud but those that do have links to Beatport, iTunes or to free downloadable tracks. It's a great way to preview songs as well and the interface is simple and easy to use. Sign up, 'follow' your favourite musicians and it just spreads. Some of the more unknown producers also post a lot of stuff to Soundcloud and although there is a lot of shit, like I said... dig for that gold and you'll find it.
Last year I managed to pick out the 100-1 winner of our fabled and Grand, National horse race. Admittedly i've been betting on the race since I was able to read, so my strike rate isn't all that good, but here are some musical long shots that will also be very big winners for you.
Ok, so Ellie is here. I know McMess from The Smoothest Gooch liked the Russ Chimes remix, so here is a little twist to it and an example of Soundclouds' greatness.
A lot of love to Chemical Jump who with this post (Click here to go to the amazing songs) provided my set in the backward town of Chippenham with a lot of bass heavy choons. Of particular note from the post linked above are 'Dirty Talk' and 'Four Floors'. BIG stuff from Diplo and Laidback Luke.
One last treat is from Nero. Dan Stephens and Joe Ray continue to bring the sound of Dubstep, D&B and whatever else, to the cream of the UK's crop. Which is Illustrated by the fact they are doing three under 18 gigs in the Southwest including one in Bath in the coming weeks. Under 18's fucked on cheap cider, pills and Vodkat, wandering the streets after there bedtime... sounds like a perfect scenario for my housemate Will.
Enjoy that sun by the way. It'll be gone by June/Summer.
