TOO HOT CITY

HOT CITY is so hot right now… He’s up there as one of my favourite producers of 2010, hitting the nail on the head with a bass heavy jackin’ garage sound that carves the dancefloor to pieces. He’s just dropped his latest single “Another Girl” on Moshi Moshi of all labels, and to promote its release he’s giving away this bootleg version of “Freakin Hot” by Another Level… Yeah its a lot!

Another Level – Freakin Hot (Hot City bootleg version)

Catch the full release directly from the MOSHI MOSHI site in all formats. PLUS he’s rumoured to have his first full length LP dropping 2011 on Moshi Moshi so watch this space… until then and as a bonus here’s a couple of his other productions from a while back that have seriously been heating up the dance floor.

Dan Black – Symphonies (Hot City Remix)
Hot City – Headwork

PARTY KILLER

The original Hugh Grant of the dancefloor is back… David E Sugar played for us over 2 years ago and pretty much crushed it. He had some banging singles at the time and Kitsune were all over him like a rash. But since then everything in the E Sugar camp has been distinctly quiet, which is why we’re happy to catch this ace new single and word of a full album in due in October. Having previously had release on the aforementioned “Fox” and CoYo Fave’s Greco Roman, its safe to say he’s lining this one up for the poppier end of the dancefloor. Party Killer drips with lazy jangly guitars reminiscent of Talking Heads, great vocal hooks, saddling up against the likes of Hot Chip and Friendly Fires, what’s more it comes with a killer video.

As much as we’re into kicking back to the original the dance floor wants more, so this is where previous CoYo guests Renaissance Man step in treating us to a full on blissed out tech house monster, with all the trademarks and trimmings that has come to make this pair one of the most in demand remixers on the block!

TLGB WINTER HUNTER MIXTAPE

A while ago we told you to keep an eye out for this lad… at the end of the last year we were hammering his “Drinkies” track with its daft samples and wonky bassline, but now he’s back with another great release and special mixtape to accompany! The lead track showcases his pop sensibilities with a shimmering vocal from folk singer Fiona Bevan. Having been likened to Erykah Badu and Joni Mitchell Fiona Bevan last year impressed on Channel 4’s ‘Orange Unsigned Act’ with Alex James of Blur describing her voice as “spine-tingling”. B-side ‘Skimmer’ sees Graham exploring more familiar territory with his trademark rough and rumbling beats, vocal cuts and a huge synth line. The release is aleady being supported by the likes of Edu K, Foamo, Malente and more with a remix package from Bare Noize, Blaze Tripp and Shooting Horses to follow sortly.

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.

SATURDAY 7TH AUGUST 2010
11:00 till 3:00 at the Roadhouse, Manchester

SOLO JACKMODE MIX

I hate the term “Midget House” that everyone seems to band around when talking about SOLO… It seems that every other day someone’s invented a new genre that last until 4pm that afternoon. What ever you want to call is SOLO is making some killer tunes and has been for the last few years, getting releases out on Sound Pellegrino, Exploited, Southern Fried, Ninja Tune and Deadfish to name a few, but this mix really nails home the direction he taking his music right now. With a frustratingly vague tracklist SOLO blends together jacking house, tropical thumpers and a few of those “oh so cool” retro vocal samples that sound like their out of 1950’s downtown speakeasies.

We’ve wanted to get him up to the cave for ages, but never been able to make the dates work so its good to see the lads over at Prostitutes & Policemen have bagged him up for their freshers special when the new terms starts alongside Glimpse, Julian Jeweil and a Manchester debut for COYO Fave Harvard Bass!

Until then get stuck into this mix recorded exclusively for JACKMODE.

STEAL DRUMS

The Martin Brothers are back again with another smasher on Dirty Bird that’s gonna drop real soon… We absolutely RINSED “Dum” off TheRocket Surgery EP, and pretty much all the tunes on that release even the bonkers “Capacitron” gets an airing now and again. But this is equally powerful, as with “Dum” its got that killer hook that grabs you by the plums, making you pay attention and as ever the production is second to none. The Release is backed up with remixes from Julio Bashmore and Riva Starr, the latter including a dub mix too!

Here’s the official blurb: “dirtybird continues to lay down new music that doesn’t sound like every other house label. Love it or hate it we stick to our San Francisco basslines. (and we love it)

The Martin brothers have released some of the biggest jams ever on dirtybird. Now, the 2
brothers (Justin and Christian) return with another creative track featuring their signature marriage
of big bass and cool melody. One listener suggested it sounds like a “Happy Japanese village that
gets crushed by Godzilla.”

Remix riders come from the dirtybird stable with Julio Bashmore & Riva Starr taking the reigns.
Riva’s jacking renditions are the clubland answers for those too afraid to rock the original. Whilst
the Bashmore mix is a lush reinterpretation flush with 808s and shimmering melodica”

SBTRKT + Sampha

SBTRKT and Sampha blew me away last night… i mean im fully into Holy Ghost (who they supported) and it was amazing to see them play as their full 4 piece live band but what preceded them was something altogether more futuristic, just made what they were doing seem a little old hat.

Thier new EP on RAMP is killer! Lead track “Break Out” is a blippy little number with 8-bit grooves and deep housey moments all stitched together with a soulful vocal courtesy of Sampha himself. The B side is all together more mellow and laid back dishing out perfect for summer vibes. you can pick the EP up from Phonica on vinyl or Beatport for all the digital geeks, and its highly recommended.

For a little bonus check out this SBTRKT rework of Radiohead:

REDINHO

We need to draw your attention to a rising talent that goes by the name of REDINHO who’s been snapped up by NUMBERS with his debut EP waiting in the wings ready to drop very soon! I dont know what catagory this falls under, but it totally sums up the NUMBERS ethos and is testament to their tastemaking. A kind of ménage à trois of future garage, bass heavy electronica and soulful pop moments…. what ever you want to call it, the new EP is DOPE and well worth checking when it drops, not to mention keeping an eye on him for live shows coming up near you soon!
