Schlachthofbronx lend a tropical vibe on the remix tip for the new Disco Trash Music release ft Spoek & Big Space, “Bumper Cars”, adding to their already formidable reputation as Germany’s hottest DJ’s.

And it’s hard to argue when you see them rocking crowds like this… from their recent Live set @ Roskilde Festival, Norway. (apologies for the poor sound quality… these guys play LOUD!)

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!

Download the original mix, here, for FREE!  -  Club Dub & Black Noise remixes available now at Beatport…

New signing to Faze 2 Jeuce have been destroying crowds with their live set up for some time now, but for those whose venues cannot accomodate a full live act, fear not, we would never leave you wanting!  We’re also pleased to offer you Jeuce DJ shows, a 2 man DJ show which is equally as capable of destroying dancefloors as their live show.
With remixes for Hadouken, Ellie Goulding, Crookers and Ladytron available in good record shops now, and their original tracks coming thick and fast, Jeuce are making big noise in the dubstep world.

Check their ‘One Part Jeuce’ mix below for a taste of what these guys can do with a set of turntables.

Following the success of “Heavyweight Champions of the World” (Rico Tubbs vs Calvertron) on Trouble & Bass (April 2010), Rico Tubbs set off to the colonies once again for a packed run of USA dates last month. This time round saw Rico hit some of the rowdiest spots in LA (Dim Mak/Avalon), San Francisco and of course the Trouble & Bass party in New York with label mate Calvertron.

As you can see from the videos below Rico delivered the goods in his usual fine style…

Stay tuned for more Rico Tubbs releases on own label Bass=Win coming soon…

With a truck load of releases about to come out on various labels including Functional Records and their own Bass=Win, (including Atomic Hooligan original tracks, dubstep remixes of Atomic Hooligan tracks and Atomic Hooligan remixes of Bass=Win artists) the Hooligans have put together this short, sharp mixtape of whats rocking the Hooligan record box right now.

The mix is a typical mixture of bass heavy sounds that you would expect to hear from Atomic Hooligan, but with some new sounds thrown in for good measure, demonstrating once again that the Hooligans remain at the cutting edge of the dance music scene and an essential booking for any self respecting clubnight.
For a full tracklisting, click ‘more info’ below

Not content with releasing tracks for you to buy, Atomic Hooligan have also uploaded this FREE TRACK for you to download:

With tours of North America and Australia lined up for the end of the year, alongside all the releases, the 2nd half of 2010 is lining up to be another big year for Atomic Hooligan.  We’re taking bookings now for August – December shows around the UK and Europe.

Faze 2 are pleased to welcome OLUGBENGA from the awesome Metronomy to our roster.  The multi-talented OLUGBENGA is vocalist/bassist in the band and, as you will hear from his mixes, also a talented remixer and DJ.
Playing a mix of indie, electro, dubstep and more, mashing up styles and tracks using Ableton Live and utilising his talents as a remixer to create some very different sounds, OLUGBENGA’s DJ sets are a unique blend of tracks that you will have heard before in a way that you have never heard before, which have made him a popular booking for events such as London’s Bangers and Mash and brought him to the attention of those that matter at BBC Radio 1.

Check out his BBCBBBBBABY mix here:

“Ayoba” is a slang term used by South Africans to express amazement. 

It is derived from other slang terms, like “Ayeye” or “Ayoyoyo.” It was originally meant as an approval/appreciation of good dancing, although the exact origins of the phrase are unknown. It is thought to have roots in Johannesburg township culture. It is however, uniquely South African and expresses delight, excitement, agreement and approval. It is also used as a greeting.

So now you know! Out now on Man Recordings…

It’s been a while since we last got a mix from Finnish wunderkids Sharkslayer, a busy production schedule has taken precedence, with remixes out on Kitsune, Southern Fried and of course Discobelle Records in the past couple of months.

But with their Aussie tour with Dutch duo Mightyfools looming they’ve kindly delivered another great mix for your listening pleasure. Full tracklist after the jump, but if you want to check out what’s hot this month in the Sharkslayer camp be sure to click over to their Beatport “Easy Prey” chart.

Cherry on top moment… here’s two free tracks… Enjoy!
