CALM Takeover Topman – Hervé VS Baxta

Last weekend Oxford Circus Topman in London was packed to the rafters with some of the biggest names in dance music for the CALM (or Campaign Against Living Miserably) takeover. Hosted by Eddy Temple Morris and Zane Lowe, shoppers were treated to an all-star lineup including Dan Le Sac, Mistajam, Kissy Sellout, Rob Da Bank, Huw Stephens & The Loose Cannons to name but a few.

Cheap Thrills boss Hervé also went back to back with our man Baxta and did their bit for the campaign, which provides a free, anonymous and confidential helpline for young men suffering depression or simply having trouble dealing with life’s stresses, rather than shouldering the burden alone.

If you’d like to know more about the CALM campaign, head over to their website and get involved with a very worthwhile cause.

Matta ‘Apart EP’ Out 17th October on Wicky Lindows

Matta drop their next release exclusively on Beatport on 17th October 2011 with another release on the Wicky Lindows label.
The 4 track EP comes with a remix of ‘Apart’ from Loop Stepwalker alongside the original version as the lead track, backed up with 2 more Matta originals in the form of ‘Infatuation’ and ‘Empire’.
‘Apart’ is a deep, rumbling roller with a 2 steppy skip to it, ‘Empire’ is typically ferocious Matta fayre which gets straight down to business with no fuss (or much intro)…. this is shaping up to be a big release.

The release is available everywhere from 31st October, but preview 2 tracks here:

Apart – Matta

Empire – Matta
