To celebrate the release of Reso’s new mix CD, Reso In Da Mix, Z-Audio have kindly given away Reso’s remix of Mike’s amazing Brass Eye track. This one is a true dubstep classic which helped define Reso and Mike at the same time, so don’t sleep on it too long. And keep your ears locked for Mike’s remix of DJ Enfusions Spiritual Technology (Flytronik7/Fly Beat Music) dropping on download stores very, very soon (or just nab the promo here)

UK Funky has been one of the fastest growing scenes to come out of the UK recently, and Geeneus, of RINSE FM fame, is taking the lead. The soca rhythms that flirt to a 4/4 garage beat really nice things up. Sometimes it goes a bit cheesy, a lot of the time it’s deep. This version of Inner City’s Good Life by Geeneus and Katy B shows the depth at which the style can go. Nicer than Tom and Barbara at an organic vegetable convention, and deeper than Margot’s hands in Jerry’s pocket.

We love Major Havoc here in the Fly Beat office. The man can do no wrong like what with that heavy release UBO and the “on fire” remix he launched for 2 Bit Thugs - Drama. He’s also stacked full of generosity as he proves by dropping this footwork rave off of Ludacris’s How Low. Better than the original IMO, this will give your feet blisters fo’ sheazy!

 Download it from the Major Havoc Soundcloud below.

A couple of years back, Baobinga had a little feature in iDJ magazine where he was asked to define his music. He quite simply called it bass music – A term perhaps a little bemusing to the breaks community in which he grew. This obvious name however turned out to be quite the epoch as within a small length of time bass music seems to be the umbrella term of choice for some of today’s most exciting artists.

Another big turnaround for musicians in general is the advent of the free album. In a sense, there just isn’t that much money in recorded music anymore, so in an attempt to expand artists fan bases, free albums are primed and pimp to the new era of digital music digging enthusiasts.

ID & Baobinga’s free album ‘Bass Music Sessions’ dropped this week, and it couldn’t have came at a better time! The co-op ran bassmusicblog.com has grown into the essential blog of choice for many underground party goers, producers and DJ’s and this album defines what the varied forms of bass music are all about, from the kuduro led Man Down to twitched out but mellow drum and bass of The King . Get your mittens on it here and spread the low end laden love.

Now this is just nice! The rhythms and sounds of cumbia are becoming well known in DJ circles, and in the home region of South America (Colombia being the motherland) there are as many sub-forms of cumbia as there are types of breaks music in UK. So you can imagine there’s a lot to get schooling on if you’re a European native.

However there are already plenty of European DJ’s and producers who divulge in the global street music sounds. Belgium’s Tupolev Sound Crash for example have re-riddemed the popular sample filled tune Chase the Devil by Max Romeo, and also dropped a mix on their Soundcloud. Essential listening, and hopefully a taste for a bit more digging.

Flore has dropped a heavy remix of her latest release – Feel Me feat Shunda K of Yo Majesty!. Transgressing tempos between kuduro and a drum & bass track this is sure to throw any dancefloor into a frenzy. The vocal floats really well over the bass, pulling your head away from your feet in a way that feels almost euphoric. Most notably this remix represents the barefoot sound which just keeps churning out really interesting club tracks at the moment. We love Flore for sure, and with an imminent album heading for the shelves via Botichit & Scarper, this girl is one to watch in 2010!

Botchit and Scarper have e-mailed us with this dub heavy down trodden slugger from London based Frenchman Son of Kick. This is a bit different from SoK’s usual bass heavy club sounds, focusing more on the vocal element. In fact if you picked up that Chase and Status and Snoop Dogg track earlier in the year, and was perhaps a bit eeeee?! about it, then this one actualy does the whole hip-hop meets dubstep thing some justice. No Fixed Abode is the vocalist in queston waxing lyrical about the less brighter side of Christmas… though chips and beer doesn’t sound like a bad xmas dinner to me.

Son of Kick is one of the growing producer on the barefoot tip, much like our own K.GoL. With releases on Botchit and the Stanton Warriors Beats label he’s got the wobble breaks tip down to a tee, and continues to expand his sound. Keep and eye on him for 2010 if you haven’t got him on your hype list already!
