Description of Unknown Dancing In The Dark (Dubstep Refix)
The massive Dancing In The Dark track gets a huge rework, this one absolutely devastating floors wherever it gets played, and it's been getting support from Crookers to Kromestar!
Another reggae classic gets the treatment this week it's the turn of Johnny Clarke and his classic "Rude Boy" to get re-jigged into a 140 bpm dub-wise dubstep smasher!
The Weevil Series consists of three 12" records, released through the middle months of 2010. It is not meant to be a new label nor is it part of any other. Instead of catalogue numbers, all three records have a "protagonist", each one of three development stages of a weevil - Larva, Pupa, Adult. The records are produced in a hand-numbered and stamped limited edition of 300 each. The final part of the series will be available in mid-September, completing the trilogy in emphatic fashion with 3 more un-named journeys into rolling sub-bass waves and industrialised atmospheres initiated in a clandestine Berlin studio. A1 is a four-minute beatless wash of drone, echo and vibrating static, propelled by a pulsing throb like blood pumping behind the listener's eyeballs. A2 is a metronomic sprial through escalating layers of rhythm and backwards edits, and finally B1 is a towering manifestation of oscillating low frequencies and rumbling beats that could be described as "dubstep" in the same way that Everest is "tall" or granite is "hard".
Another mark on the map of the Weevil Neighbourhood. After the recent excursion into the intensely droney yet fragile and unstable musique concrete of Repetition/Distract, the enigmatic German label continues charting the unknown terrain with eyes closed and ears wide open. This vinyl release coded BLINDFOLD comes as a mid-tempo two-tracker from an artist who wants to stay anonymous. A side 'All Those Colours...' is a dub-techno inspired piece that contrasts laid-back soundscapes with a broken beat and hectic hi-hats that converge with large rooms of reverberation. '...We Cannot See', the counterpart on side B, contrasts static drum work with shuffling breaks and early hardcore sounds with noisey drones that frostily cover more or less the whole piece. Very limited pressing.
Randa and The Soul Kingdom released 'The Things' swinging funky disco 12 (FSR092) on Freestyle Records early June 2011, a pretty straight ahead affair produced and guitar scratched by one of the busiest men in the music bizznizz: Lance Ferguson, the man responsible for Freestyle soul-jazz organ trio Cookin On 3 Burners, as well as The Bamboos & Lanu projects on Tru Thoughts Recordings. For this booty style remix they have taken Randa's outstanding vocal and completely reworked the track into an electro funk bomb. Toughening things up but losing non of the funk the mixes aim straight for the dancefloor.
Another cheeky bootleg white label, this time the "Hoxton Whores" get sampled to devastating effect! This is one sure to have the dancefloor going bonkers!

Forget Magnetic Man it's all about Iron Man. No I don't mean the superhero, well maybe after this release he can be considered a superhero One of the top boys in the scene appears under a new alias. These three tracks have some heavy bass and enough bleepy synths to keep any listener interested!
Big bad heavy 100% dance floor smasher business. Laced with old samples from the depths of the underground, this one mixes the old and the new, with devastating effect.
All the big boys get mashed together to make one hell of a bootleg!! Trentemollers "Want 2 Need 2" gets spliced with Claude Von Strokes "Who's Afraid Of Detroit" and "The Whistler" alongside a healthy dose of Aroove Armada. One not to miss!
