Shortly after posting one of Duffstep’s latest tracks it came to light that he also has a very solid mix doing the rounds in the shape of a podcast for San Francisco’s Big Up magazine. Featuring tracks from the likes of Lone, Pariah, Falty DL and many more Duffstep’s mix more than adequately shines a light on the steppy tech future sounds of now. Particularly tickling me sweet is the inclusion of ‘Pineapple Crush’ by Lone. Solidly referencing the first era of rave with it’s acid splashes and hip-house tinges ‘Pineapple Crush’ sits in this mix like it’s zesty name suggests it might – up front and attention seeking.
We have posted about Kashmir Kid before and posted up a mix or two and now his first release is finally available to buy! Kashmir Kid makes his debut release on Goldielocks’ label Gut Instinct with ‘Return To Bombay City’. Already gaining support from DJs such as Swindle, Redlight, Klose One and Seb Chew who gave it’s first airplay on Rinse FM just hours after hearing it.
Sarah has been chatting to us about KK for a while and we will be doing some bits with him in the near future, so watch this space! He is of British and Pakistani heritage, Kashmir Kid makes electronic music with an influence of Dubstep, UK Funky and Future Garage, all with his signature Eastern subtleties hidden within each track. A product of Pakistani immigration and Goldie’s Inner City Life set to a backdrop of post 7/7 London, KK makes gritty inner city music for those slightly more conscious of concepts and themes.
If you haven’t heard it already, give it a go here, it’s defo worth a listen!
A very worthy cause, with an intergalactic cast of performers on the night.

Definitely liking where this guy is heading with his sounds. Check this out, “Can’t give you love” is his latest Soundcloud offering and to date remains unsigned (not for long I imagine). With a slightly tougher edge than some of his more mellow peers on the techno-edged evolutionary path of Dubstep, you can almost feel the main room sweat dripping off this one. Close your eyes and pump it up. Trust me. This one’s got more Jack than the White Stripes.
OK, so, ideally I would have a direct link to the track in question, but I searched the web high and low to no avail. I even tried uploading the mix from which I first heard this, but that didn’t work either. I have no other choice but to suggest you go direct to the same source I did. It’s worth it. If you are in anyway unfamiliar with the ridiculously solid body of work by 808 State then you’ll be doing yourself a favour anyway. But, as this post is generally about one specific track I have to insist that you skip through to Track 26 (starts coming in to the mix at about 51:12) in Dunfyboy’s 808 State Mix. I’m talking about a serious remix of an already serious rave anthem; Cubik. Widely recognised for it’s distinctive cascading synth stabs, the original tore up warehouses and dancefloors the world over when it was originally released as a B-side to one of 808 State’s singles. A few years later Jon Carter gave it the Monkey Mafia treatment and released, what you will hear, sounds not too dissimilar to the vibe in some of The Bug’s work from a few years back. Heavy ragga undertones with punchy, aggressive programming that wouldn’t sound out of place in some of the tougher edge Funky sets I’ve heard of late.
If you have any trouble finding it, it’s the track directly after MC Tunes ‘The only rhyme that bites’, and if you don’t know that then here it is for your guidance…
PS Dunfyboy has a lot of other decent genre and artist specific mixes that are worth some serious ear time. Check it out.
Dunfy: If you’re listening mate, can you hit us with some Soundcloud love
Imran Khan, not the cricketer, an Indian rapper based in Amsterdam. A friend of mine called Hiten put me on this tune and I thought it was a bit of a joke to begin with but I can’t stop listening to it! I have found out that he is a huge mainstream artist in Holland and that the Asian community in London have also picked up on this seemingly huge star. Massive production if you ask me and if speak Punjabi you’ll probably like it more!
This Friday you can catch me and Ouzo spinning at Fruit Loop alongside Sinden’s new signing Wafa, Snitch and the Fruit Loop residents. Tropical house and bass time!
WOW! Here’s something. One EP, Three tracks, one short film, three parts. Great idea, great execution. Watch it, starting with part one and you’ll see what I mean. Happy Friday people!

Kaptain Cadillac sent this to us, so we thought we should do the right thing and share it with you! Not sure that this is really my thing but I know Footwork is getting major hype and if you new to the genre this seems like a pretty accessible mix to delve into. With the release of DJ Nate’s first album on Planet Mu, you can expect to hear a lot more from this genre, my ears are peeled.
