Mobius 'Thugs' - OUT NOW

 


Ape is back and for this installment we have the pleasure of presenting Mobius and 'Thugs'

'Thugs' is a massive dirty party smasher with huge sub, rollin drums & snappin snarez that lead you to its wicked breakdown and then out the other side to the immortal lil hip hoppin' sample 'We're not against rap.... But we are against them Thugs' and then... Blap!!!!! Smacks ya in the face like a pissed up Vinnie Jones in a pool bar.

Packed full of bad attitude and growlin synths this is one sure to send them peepz on tha dancefloor into a bowel droppin' fury!

Think tearout meets booty breaks and you'll be only halfway to the monster that is THUGS!!

For the Remix we've drafted in those dirty northern monkeys the 601 boys!!!!! And by my nan's meat pie mining hat have they brought the rave!!

Flipping the original and throwin it back with some full on mental dancefloor magic. Wicked original ragga-tinged beats lead to fat bass & tearing synths that will undoubtedly destroy any floor you care to put ya dancing feet on.

Mastered by Tarekith

Ben and Lex 'Wind It Back (Riva Star Remix)' [Silo]

 

SILO RECORDINGS 005 (SILO005) PRESS RELEASE
Distribution: Z Audio (www.zaudio.co.uk)
Release Date: Monday 3RD November 2008
A: Ben & Lex – Wind It Back (Riva Starr Remix)
AA: Cybass – Shake It (Afghan Headspin Remix)

Continuing its return to the fray after a 2-year-too-long hiatus, Silo is back and making up for lost time with this second set of heavyweight remixes!

First up this time it’s west-country meets the med as party starters Ben & Lex (Funtional/Ape) come face to face with Riva Starr (Dirty Bird/Southern Fried). What we get is a truly massive piece of solid fidget house, bumping and shuffling its way though bongo rhythms and supa-funky horn edits with the wobble factor cranked up to 11. Hotness not to be missed!

Over on the flip things get a bit more dark and deadly as Cybass (Under Construction) meets tech-edged breaks outfit Afghan Headspin (Mechanoise/Ape)… aka Resonant Evil (Renegade Hardware/Gain). The previously unreleased ultra-funky ‘Shake It’ gets a deeper twist-up here, with the Afghan boys turning in a bombshell full of their signature tight cybernetic drums and basslines, injected with more than just a hint of old skool rave-up flavours. White gloves at the ready...brockout!

Top remix from the man like Riva Starr on our tune :) getting plays from the likes of D.Ramirez, Simply Jeff, Trevor Loveys, Plaza De Funk, Sokolov, Dopamine, General Midi,Micky Slim and many many more

The Good Living Remix EP

 


This release snuck out the other week or so.. haha I didn't even know is was due out till lexy gave me the slab of vinyl :)

The 12" features our collaboration with Aldo Vanucci with 'Ravers Party' while the digital release also features our remix of 'Naive'

New four track ep from those good looking fellas at Good Living.First up Kidda remixes one of the fav tracks from Aldo Vanucci's Straight Lift album "Holla Down".

The beat was originally scheduled for Jay Z's Blueprint 3 but after the Jiggaman nicked Kidda's Monster Munch at Glastonbury, the Brighton Soul Breaks Maestro offered it up.Then comes our Mexican friend with a leftfield take that grows on you more and more with each listen, so far we are up 3,427.

The B side sees label honcho Scott Whyte step out from Vanucci's shadow and show us where the Vanucci sound should have been going. More to come from this man, hurrah!

To give us all a happy finish Plymouths 14th best dj team up with Exeter pin up producers Ben and Lex for a reggae breaks track that though outside of Good Living's comfort sound has been receiving such attention it just had to be committed to vinyl.

(Plus 2 digital only bonus remixes from Ben & Lex and Scott Whyte).

Not 100% sure where its available yet but you can buy it from DanceTracks or for more info check out the Good Living Records Myspace

Egerton House & Swan Lake Weekend

 


Couple of weekends ago Me and my wife went to London for a posh weekend staying in the Egerton House Hotel and went to see Swan Lake at the Royal Opera House.

I'm too lazy to write it all up but Swan Lake was ace and the hotel was mega posh, in fact this is a photo of our room :)



To save my lazyness here is the review that Becky wrote for the local paper :)

WHEN my parents-in-law bought me tickets to see the Royal Ballet for my birthday, I vowed that this time I would do London in style.

And style is certainly a word you would use to describe the Egerton House Hotel. This five-star boutique hotel nestles unobtrusively in the heart of Knightsbridge, just a short stroll from some of the city’s most popular attractions including the Natural History Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

The Egerton is a member of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, winner of the AA small hotel group of the year 2007-2008 accolade. Originally two grand townhouses, it has been sympathetically refurbished and upgraded with fine fabrics and antique Italian furnishings.

It is also home to a collection of original artworks by artists such as Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and Matisse.

Slightly flustered on arrival (why anyone in London would bother owning a car, I don’t know), the hotel staff couldn’t have been more obliging. Our car was driven off to be parked, while we were shown to our room and served a welcome cup of tea.

There are 29 rooms in the Egerton, all different but all offering the same level of luxury, including hand-stitched mattresses, down pillows and duvets or 16-thread Egyptian cotton sheets, a well-stocked minibar, an iPod docking station, Wi-Fi, cable TV and air conditioning.

Lovely touches included the personalised welcome card from hotel manager Sandra Anido, fresh fruit, complimentary bottled water and some rather decadent chocolates.

Our room had a glorious four-poster bed, a huge flat-screen television and en-suite with the most inviting bathtub I have seen for some time.

After a luxurious soak, my husband and I wandered down to the intimate dining room for a pre-ballet cocktail and light meal.

Head barman Antonio Pizzuto is reputed to make the best martinis in London, served with a theatrical Italian flourish, so it seemed churlish not to indulge as we waited for our food.

I ordered the glazed goat’s cheese on a bed of sauteed vegetables with basil sauce while my husband decided on crispy calamari with homemade chilli sauce. Both were excellent.

Declining the staff’s offer to order us a taxi, we sallied off to the Royal Opera House — just a short tube ride away — dressed in all our finery for the evening’s performance of Swan Lake, a truly magical experience.

On arrival back at the hotel, we were impressed to find the bedcovers turned down, chocolates on the pillow, slippers laid out beside the bed and a candle lit beside the bathtub. There was even a card with the next day’s weather forecast for our information.

Declining Antonio’s tempting offer of another martini, we settled on a bottle of champagne in our room and reluctantly decided that ordering anything from the extensive night menu might be an overindulgence too far.

Consequently we both had a good appetite for breakfast the next morning, after perusing the Sunday papers.

Served in the delightful breakfast room, we had a choice of continental breakfast or an a la carte meal. I opted for the continental, which included cereal, fruit, yoghurt, toast and pastries, while my husband made short work of a full English breakfast with all the trimmings.

It was with real regret that we checked out of this home from home, but I sincerely hope to visit again soon.

Back Again With A Double Helping Of Myuzyk

 


Hurrah. I have a slight amount of spare time again ;) last week was possible the most stressful I've had in ages and thus no posts :( Loads happened as well so this week should be a double bumper of mindless posting.

Stressful? all due to the complete incompetence of the marketing department at work. But I can't even be arsed to waste my breath ranting about them so while I collect all of last weeks raves, radio shows, new releases and flyers for this week I'll leave you with a double helping of new releases on the awesome Myuzyk label.



Falls & Regis - Done Up Like A Vicar
MZYKN010

F&R have stepped forward from the shadows and delivered a collection of seven tracks ranging in tempo and character. Several of the compositions show their love for beats that operate on certain dancefloors, elsewhere are contemplative moments and downtempo. Amongst the MPC beats, samples and bass lurks a comic darkness which influences the overall sound in this release, which in places seems to translate real life experiences into music and words. The opening track, 'Congratulations You've Made It', is lead by a mantra that the listener will find themselves repeating - "Don't do drugs, Keep your nose clean. Go to work, do a good job."

Download



dep - Nothing To Undo : Nothing To Redo
MZYKN011

Danny Peck has combined field recordings of his immediate surroundings as well as programmed beats and instrumentation to create a personal and involving album. There are experiments and more traditional approaches to electronica in this album that show an open minded and mature artist at work. 'Nothing To Undo : Nothing To Redo' cohesively houses explorations into techno and downtempo with attributes of glitch, distortion, loud and quiet, artificial and real altogether across thirteen tracks. At times it sounds like a film soundtrack, other places it sounds like an audio diary. This engaging artist album is a very welcome addition to the Myuzyk catalogue and we hope you enjoy it time and again.

Sneak Peek

 


Ooooh I'm so excited about a new project me and Lex are working on. It's all a bit top secret at the moment but as soon as I get more designers on board and the new site is up and ready I'll be telling the world so you wont miss out :)

Fingers crossed I'm thinking about a Jan/Feb launch so keep some Christmas money handy for some spending.

The design shown is from Falmouth based graphic artist Morphosis, more designs from him come launch day.

Beatz and Bobz | Hyper | 03/10

 

Constantly at the cutting edge of dance music since the turn of the millennium, Hyper is a DJ in world-wide demand. From the Far East to Australia, across the breadth of the United States and throughout Europe, hissets are never less than perfect, blending blistering beats and ripping bass with a panache that is the envy of the dance world.

His second album SUICIDE TUESDAY is released in the summer of 2008 and marks the next stage of Hyper the band.

The album, coming out on Hyper’s KILOWATT RECORINGS label features the ever-present talents of Hyper and Jim Davies (guitar/Vox) but adds the fresh and exciting vocal talents of Axe-girl and Odessi. 5 months pre –release, the albums tracks have been heard on CSI and Ugly Betty TV shows and as of April ‘08 first single CENTRE ATTRACTION is receiving huge acclaim even before any promotional campaign begins. It’s going to be a great 18 months for the band that oozes pop sensibilities, punk energy and electronic style. Catch ‘em while you can.

Ignore all that tho as me and Lex will be djing for 3 hours this Friday... epic warm up tomfollery from us then ;)
