UNBELIEVABLE TEKKERS
Teki Latex may not have come directly to your attention before but he’s been a MASSIVE influence on the sound of our night for the past 2 years. Yeah, i know he’s the guy from TTC but more importantly he’s the mand behind both INSTITUBES and SOUND PELLIGRINO. In our books that deserves an massive round of applause… two of the most forward thinking, influential and consistently on point labels there is.
Anyway enough of us sucking him off… Check out his latest single below which dropped a few months back on SP and has killed it in our sets ever since, and if that’s not enough check his new promo mix. This dude know’s what’s up and’s got the skills to pay the bills… keep em peeled as he might be dropping into a cave near you soon! Until that day enjoy these.

TRAMP! CLASSIC TRAX
1. Brooklyn Express- 69
This was a huge TRAMP! disco smasher that I still play on a regs.
2. Splack Pack- ‘Shake dat ass’
Probably the funniest piece of get ‘nasty ass’ ghetto booty shakin bass music I have ever heard. One of my dancefloor weapons I play when I’m drunk.
3. Chromeo ‘Needy Girl’
I could not do a list without including this track. Electro lover funk for the spandex generation.
4. Outkast- Ghetto Musick
This just makes people go a bit silly. Outkast are way ahead of the hip-hop curve.
5. Venom & Damage- Deeper
This is a new selection I have chosen, been going down really well in recent DJ sets. Uk funky with epic rave piano chords.

All round smasher and NUMBERS boss Jackmaster just dropped this slice of dirty euro disco pop decadence the other day on the Numbers Podcast. It’s been going down a treat at COYO headquarters so we thought we’d share it with you lot. While we’re on the subject you should keep an eye out on his twitter ( @iamjackmaster ) as every now and then he jumps on board USTREAM and just gets oiled up and just plays out some of the tunes that he’s into, exclusive promos, re-edits and forthcoming tracks from a whole host of red hot labels. If you’re hooked up you can follow his station here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jackmaster-radio, if not just keep them peeled… oh and he’s coming back to Manchester, albeit on a school night playing Hit’N'Run on the 25th Ocotber so stick that one in your diary! Until then get stuck into this mix:

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
£4 b4 11.30 / £5 ADV or W/FLYER / £6 After

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING
So… French DJ/producer Brodinski was trying to decide what to put on his next mixtape when he had a minor freak-out, realizing he was presently obsessed with too much music to limit his wares. So he cut down his endless faves into two halves and gave the whole an appropriate moniker. But even presented separately, you can see how his lobes intersect—with the electro side a crushing techno coaster and the Southern-leaning hip hop side twerking mightily between scratches, clearly Brodinski is no shrinking violet when it comes to beats. – THE FADER
We highly recommend both these mixes so get downloading… full tracklists can be found here: http://best-of-everything.tumblr.com/
