GET SOME UK UK MUSIC, ART AND CULTURE

A big release form a label that went about their business in a very admirable fashion last year, L2S have dropped Whistla‘s latest EP, Pillowtalk. Whistla was one of the biggest players in the revival of 2-Step in 2010 but it is the remixes of this track which are the real deal on this release. Duncan Powell’s (a GET SOME favourite) version is a great refix, straight up house & garage, as it should be. The rest of the remixes come from Submerse, VVV, Para, KMA, Mr Pud and Itchy Robot. Check some of them out below.

Here are my top 5 producers from the last twelve months, listen and enjoy…
PEACE&OUZO

PARIAH – ORPHEUS
Nice nod to a soul classic by Thelma Houston ‘please don’t leave me this way’, great vocal, great sample, great producer.

DUNCAN POWELL – CAME INTO VIEW
Love this guy! I think Duncan Powell used to be on of MJ Cole’s sound engineers, he obviously picked up a few things along the way…

VVV – BACK TO LIFE
Another great producer with a nod to the old school. The thing that is most interesting about this guy is that he is from Austin, Texas. The Us is definitely doing it right now…

XXXY – SING WITH US
Hailing form Manchester, XXXY (pronounced EXY?) has managed to fuse Funky, Dubstep, 2-Step and house and is one to watch over the next twelve months too…

Sing With Us

PANGAEA – BECAUSE OF YOU
I really think this guy is one of the most underrated producers around. This track is from a colossal EP called the ‘Pangaea EP’ and is a belter. I could have filled this whole list with Pangaea productions, more of the same please…

I am totally feeling Duncan Powell right now, I love everything about his sound. His new EP, ‘Came Into View’, is great, a real nod to the old school. I just hope there is more to come like this. Here are a couple of tracks to sample, I hope you like them as much as I do.
