With flawless mixes and a sound that blends tech, soul and classic house vibes with splashes of hipster beats, Bruxism (aka Major Havoc), is possibly my number 1 mix tape pimp atm! I look forward to a Bruxism mix in much the same way I always look forward to a FabricLive mix CD, but Raky always hits the nail on the head with his delivery, mixing in and out of mellow vibes and dance floor beat – plus they’re free so I’m never out of pocket, lol. This one I can see being on my iPod for months and no doubt will be returned to on regular occasions. Big up the man in Bayonne!

J.Blaze is on it again with another mix. This time he takes a disco drive with some nice switch ups and blends.

I’ve just received a fantastic mix by an elusive blog calling itself Ravedigga.com! I couldn’t really tell you much more than that, other than if you are into basseyraveytribalhouseydubstepbeats and more then this is surely a space you should be getting ready to follow.

Check out the pre-launch site and mix here http://www.ravedigga.com/

Pete Jordans new mix, What I Do In Dark Rooms, doesn’t fully disclose the whole truth. If it did then he’d surely find an arrest warrant with his name on it. What it does do though is showcase the best bits of his production and forthcoming releases.

Download Pete Jordan – What I Do In Dark Rooms Mix here, and don’t forget to follow him if you have a Soundcloud account.

Jason Sparks has reworked his classic Gangsters for Botchit & Scarper. Euphoric chords always catch my attention as anyone that has heard my mix tapes will know. This is just the sort of thing I like to finish up on. Flore and Reso take things in a different direction with some driven and twisted dancefloor fodder, respectively.

You might remember when the label was just getting going, we spoke highly of Booty Ben, and had him lined up for a remix of La Bestia Pop. Unfortunetly, that never came through, but Booty Ben is going from strength to strength. Check out his latest Bottoms Up mix, to put some party in your pants!

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.
