MEGAMIX RETURNS

THE MEGAMIX IS BACK!!! I’m sure you all know the drill by now, but for those of you new to the concept here’s how it goes:

Each Night/DJ gets a 30 min slot to burn out the purest heat, all killer no filler, sweep the floor and get the party juiced in good style. The final hour results in an every man for themselves, Back 2 Back, No Holes Barred, All Holes Plugged…Megamix!!!

We’ve lined up another cracking night filled with Manchester’s premier disc jockeying power:

NAÏVE MELODY: This year has been epic for NM, with some bookings that can only be described as that of “legendary” status…. Smagghe, Weatherall, Twitch & Wilkes, Baldelli, ooooft! Anyone putting together parties like this knows what’s up so we don’t need to tell you that they’ll crush it proper!

EAT MY BEAT: Batty Bass, Wonky House, Tropical Techno, whatever you want, these boys can bring it… if there’s a party that needs starting they’ll be sure to do the job reeeeeeaaaaaaaaal nice!

TRAMP!: Tramp was one of our favourite Manchester Nights ever, but since its death William has gone on to make a name for himself in his own right as one of the best djs in Manchester, and deservedly so. Regular bookings alongside the biggest boys in the business has seen him tearing into the biggest clubs and even taking over the reigns of the world famous OPTIMO for the night and also warming up for some guys called 2ManyDjs!?

NOWWAVE: These boys know their stuff… they’ve put on pretty much every band that is cool and even those that didn’t even know they were cool yet. They’re so far ahead of the curve one of them once managed to high five an apparition of himself from 2 weeks in the future? Needless to say they can handle themselves behind the wheels of steel, (Especially when asked to stand in for Scratch Perverts on the main stage of Parklife?!?) so get set for some serious party throbbers.

STOP MAKING SENSE: Every time I see these lads play they smack it… Tropical Dubs to Spaced out Techno to Pumping Disco, these boys’ will be heating it from the depths of their collection for you dancing pleasure.

CONTORT YOURSELF: Yeah that’s us… we’ll be going in strong and fast jackin’ out the house party rhythms and durty disco thumpers.

All In Two Sixty Dancehalls

We need to draw your attention to the KILLER new EP form the TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS. In this iPod generation the LP and the EP have fallen by the wayside, disregarded as tight wads cherry pick their favourite tracks rather than shelling out on a whole release? But belive us when we say this is well worth the £5.20 it will cost you on Beatport as there’s truly something for everyone here!

Garden (snippet) by T-E-E-D

First up we have GARDEN, which is a lovely little poppy number with a great vocal, perfect for summer days riding bikes through meadows with that girl from school you always had a crush on.

Blood Pressure (snippet) by T-E-E-D

Then we ramp it up to 140bpm jackin’ the hell out of the dancehall, mucky murky beats, jump up vocals courtesy of Riko, rave synths, sick!

That One (snippet) by T-E-E-D

then we get a killer bouncy, kind of future garage, tropical house wobbler… probably my favourite on the whole EP.

Dipper (snippet) by T-E-E-D

and finally, in a completely unexpected move, we’re into some late night techno reminiscent of POPOF with a rad loose kick and plinky plonky rhythm that seals the deal.

Like i said something for everyone, so go forth and purchase!

TIGERSUSHI: X YEAR ANNIVERSARY MIX

After JOAKIM smashed the cave last time round we’ve had a bit of a renaissance with Tigersushi digging out out some of those old foot wide plastic things and listening back to some of their tunes we used to rinse. So its great to see they’ve put together a pseudo retrospective mixtape featuring only Tigersushi releases mixed by the 14 hands that make up their stable: Principles of Geometry, Nakion, DyE, Krikor, Joakim, Tigersushi Bass System (Alexis Le Tan) and Discipline.

If you’re looking for bangers you’re not gonna find it here but its a great little mix that really gives you a taste of what their all about.
