HeavyFeet

Effortlessly combining a party rocking blend of house, garage, breakbeat, ghetto flavours and drum ‘n’ bass, HeavyFeet are at the forefront of the bass music phenomenon. As the duo continue to roll their ever-evolving sound out through a string of bass-heavy releases on some of the coolest indie labels around, Party Like Us, Nightshifters and Passenger, as well as leaders in the game, Skint, Trouble & Bass and Bingo, 2010 is looking like their biggest year yet, with remixes dropping for the likes of Zinc, Drop The Lime and Deekline, as well as the birth of the own label. Watch this space, the bass is coming!

There’s supposedly sunny weather on the horizon and a much needed boost in
temperature may just help HeavyFeet with their current studio-tan complexions!
Fortunately, their fourth release is here to offer the perfect accompaniment to those lazy
summer days when the good weather vibes do finally arrive.  With recent airplay on
Radio 1, 1Xtra, XFM, Kiss and Galaxy FM, and widespread media coverage courtesy of
DJ Mag, IDJ Magazine and The Times Online, Stamp! Beats is gearing up for what is
sure to be a successful summer ahead.
Sheffield has delivered some great vocalists over the years (Steve Edwards and Pete
Simpson to name two) and now breakthrough Steel City singer, MC and beatboxer, Jon
Rice joins this list. ‘Saving Me’ sees HeavyFeet take on the bubbling broken beat scene
to great effect, focusing on pulsating, chromatic synth chords, chunky, live drum breaks
and an array of traditional broken beat instrumentation as Rice (recently compared to
London vocal starlet Ben Westbeech) belts out a wonderfully simple, jazzy vocal hook.
HeavyFeet’s own Club Dub is a further take on some of their favorite dancefloor
flavours, tackling bashment, funky and breaks with their typical heavy drum sound and
ever present sub bass. Southern Fried Records’ men of the moment, Black Noise,
deliver a suitably styled summer anthem, complete with sampled disco vibes, funky club
drums and select cuts from Rice’s catchy vocal line…  it’s got Ibiza written all over it!

STMP003 - Release Artwork

It’s that time yet again, another great (free!) offering from the HeavyFeet camp with their 3rd release on new label Stamp! Beats. With the last release “War” ft Jenna G still receiving support and praise from all corners, this track comes hot on it’s heels providing perfect summer vibes.

‘Now you may think you know it all, but in truth son, you don’t know shieeet’ – Bubbz delivers some well remembered words of wisdom to the young men of today via Young & Dumb, the brand new summer-tinged single from HeavyFeet, which makes reminiscing about school days cool, quirky and down right naughty!

Amidst old-skool hip-hop beats, a catchy melody line and a rolling, laid back bassline, Bubbz drops one of his finest trademark tongue in cheek vocals yet, encouraging smiles and summer time fun all round. The Club Dub encompasses stripped back Dutch house style drums, repetitive synth hooks and choice cuts of vocal over a pounding sub bass.

Dance music’s favourite ex-pat, Nick Thayer, rounds off the package with a storming main room mix, featuring a thumping, garagey drum groove, injected amongst snippets of the original vocals and melody, this time with the addition of one of the nastiest, heaviest basslines heard this side of 2010.

So don’t delay, download today!

HeavyFeet ft Jenna G – WAR EP out now on Stamp! Beats

4. May 2010

AAA1

HeavyFeet are back again with another great package on their new label Stamp! Beats…

If you thought the first release was hot, HeavyFeet take no prisoners in delivering the second installment on Stamp! Beats. ‘War’ features fellow Mancunian and Dn’B vocal legend, Jenna G, collaborating on this future anthem.

Inspiration is taken from classic 2-step garage sounds, culminating in this deep, atmospheric groover, as Jenna’s unmistakable voice soars over the rolling synths like a sonic force amidst the calm. If Carlsberg did club mixes… a massive bassline, euphoric dubstep breakdown and epic vocals; HeavyFeet deliver a versatile remix guaranteed to smash dancefloors worldwide. Pittsburgh-based Kastle, with his debut EP forthcoming on Seclusiasis, brings an eerie, arpeggiated, future-garage-meets-dubstep remix, which will undoubtedly appeal to the fans of intelligent, cutting edge dance music.

And you lucky people can grab the original mix here for free (as with every original mix in this series!)

You can also have a listen to the mini-mix of the release on the soundcloud player below…
