Never one to disappoint, Manchester’s XXXY builds a fantastic re-work of Voltron’s Don’t Stop. Loving the vocals on this one. Forthcoming on Discobelle.

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 have fond memories of the first film. I guess it was to me what Star Wars was to earlier generations.. It had a brilliant bleakness to it. The never-ending dark landscapes, ominous music and characters you cared about. Rare for Disney. The new one looks like it has potential but I don’t want to over hype and then be made to eat my own words. It deserved mentioning that Daft Punk are doing the soundtrack which I think is a good thing. There have been many a ‘leaked track!!!!!!’ on the net, but I think only one of them is legit. Roll on December!

Of all the ‘leaked tracks!!!!’, whether official or not, this one is my favourite.

Onto more musical matters but keeping with the futuristic theme. Peverelist is the latest artist to mix for Fact magazine. There is no tracklist, just music, including what sounds to me like unreleased tracks from the man himself.
peverelist, fact 132

If that’s your thing then be sure to check out rising Manchester based producer xxxy.

Their first compilation CD is released on the 8th February and features exclusive tracks from some of the most exiting players in the 140 bpm genre smashing bass music scene. I swear we should just call it 140 and be done with the whole ‘future tech-step psy-jungle funky wonk’ ridiculousness. Artists read like a who to watch for in 2010 list: Hot City, xxxy, Untold, Julio Bashmore and many, many more.

If you weren’t stoked enough, the minimix we featured at the start of the month is now available for DL.
