Price-Slime E.P

Price is a German born producer creating music that nods at the 4/4 Garage sound but with a Future Garage twist.

Price now living in Southampton decided to go to university to study 'Urban and Electronic Music' where he's improved his knowledge of the industry and more importantly his productions!

With past releases on the legendary DPR Recordings(home to Groove Chronicles, El-B and Steve Gurley) we find him now with his latest release on the L2S Recordings label.

The 'Slime E.P' is clear evidence of his progression as a producer.

Lead track 'Romper Stomper' goes in hard with it's 4/4 Garage vibes and that 'old school' vocal!


'Touched' has a swung beat, some nice contemporary synth sounds and a creepy bass that sends shivers down my spine!


'I don't worry(Dark Dub)' with it's vocal chop that sounds so familiar and dark sounds reminds me of Zinc in his Bingo release days!


'Contempt for All Humankind' is a post Dubstep kinda vibe with a fantastic percussive sound, soft synths and his signature deep underlying bass.



You can buy the 'Slime E.P' from HERE, HERE, HERE AND HERE

Last Japan

Swindle making a beat.

Swindle is probably the most original and exciting producer coming out of the new wave of Grime producers.
He was recently showing a crowd how he goes about making beats with Logic.

If I could work as fast as him I'd be a millionaire!

Biggup Swindle you fucking legend!!!

Crystal Fighters...

Hello just a quick post.

Crystal Fighters are a band I'm aware of solely on remixes I've picked up by Brackles and Canblaster to name a couple, but I caught Zane Lowe last night playing their new single Follow and this is a TUUNE!!!


I am going to make the effort to actually go and watch them at The Plug in Sheffield in October.

Round Table Knights and Roskaaaaa

I was searching through Soundcloud today to find any new exciting music and stumbled upon this little mashup of Round Table Knight's-Calypso and Roska's remix of Zed Bias-Neighborhood

Last weekend...

Just thought I'd share a memory with ya'll....

Friday saw me and 4 mates driving down the M1 to come watch me DJ with Lil Silva at Stealth-Nottingham.

It was a trial to see if they liked what I played and if so they wanted me back....

Well we got there(exhaust hanging off the car) in one piece and I played and it was DEAD!

It got to 12 and there were like 30 people in! We knew Bigger Than Barry was on in Sheffield, so we wen't back home!

I was really frustrated as the night was tagged as Garage, Funky etc... and I thought this will be perfect as there aren't too many nights in Sheffield where I can play what I want to play!

I didn't stick around to see Lil Silva but I'm sure he would have shared the same anger I did!

I still don't quite get why the night was so DEAD? Good DJ, good night club 'girls go free'(which incidentally is the name of the club night!)...

Makes me appreciate Sheffield and it's many successful nights!

Here is a song that is helping me vent my anger right now!....


Biizziiie

Sorry I've been a bit lazy on the posts, I'm currently sorting out my near future with work and traveling. My life is a bit hectic right now with the DJing, producing, working, laughing, eating etc.....

Hold tight for some...

Interviews and reviews with Toddla T, Canblaster, Mista Men, Brenmar and Roof Light.

And some more free music from the above and more...

For now take a listen to TLGB(The Living Graham Bond) I caught Marco Del Horno's latest podcast and TLGB was the featured artist.

His B-More influenced club tunes aren't usually 'MY BAG' but I can hear a few underground influences in there that got me, take a listen to his last single Winter Hunter.

Fis-T Night Hunter

Rinse FM's Oneman set up his own label '502 Recordings'

Tomorrow(6/9/2010) will be the first release on the label from FIS-T, entitled Night Hunter.




DJ Oneman has real ear for moody, dark and atmospheric music, I expect his releases will be of the same high quality of this debut.
