We’ve been loving Jamie Grind’s music for a good year now, when he first passed us a promo of his track ‘Same Old Me’, all chopped RnB-ish vocals, garage inspired drum patterns and blissful synths. Yesterday Jamie gave away four unreleased cuts via his Facebook, (unofficially titled the SOPA/PIPA EP) and including the aforementioned ‘Same Old Me’ and two great tracks we hadn’t heard before: ‘Don’t Think’ and ‘Don’t Feel Right’. Go get!
The Get Some team has grown once more with the addition of another contributor and DJ, Richard Aki. Expect to see posts about a wide variety of events around London, the latest releases in garage, house, funky and dubstep, and anything else I think you should have in your life!
You can stream and download my recent mix here, including some old garage classics right through to this year’s best in bass music from the likes of SBTRKT, Joy Orbison, Pearson Sound, Mosca, S-X, Blawan and more. Catch me DJ’ing at Rhythm Factory on December 15 at Change Your Tunes! (http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=214383191967332)
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!
This track has creeped into my set over the last couple of weeks and I love it! Original Face is a new artist to me, please feel free to correct me on this, and this release comes out on my favourite label of 2010, L2S. They are putting out a lot of records at the moment, some not so good but the rest are amazing! They seem to target 2-Step / Future Garage (or just just bloody Garage) producers and have really focused their energies on being THE label of the revolution. Some amazing work going on there, please keep it coming. Have a listen to this…
Happy Friday people, the weather is good, bank holiday coming, GET SOME takeover Sunday, life is sweet, right? I have been playing around on Soundcloud and I stumbled across this young chap, Submerse, no not the label, the artist. Don’t know much about him, or where he is from but the boy is making some very nice UKG/Future Garage. Have a listen…
