So I have been away for many months, after being scarred away from the blogspace by a warning from MSTRKRFTs label. They removed a post I put up for you people and thought better of it.
After a couple of prompts from friends and my ever expanding musical taste I thought Id hit the blog again and put out some good free music and reviews, tips on the hottest club nights in Nottingham and Derby.
With many big releases since last time I spoke, I have taken a more tech-electro or elechno (as I have descirbed it to friends!) stance within my sets. I still love the breaks and electro vibe, but find its being ruined by poor productions being pumped out on the big blogs. Dubstep is also another genre that has come onto my screen in the past few months, I am preferring the laidback 'liquid dubstep' rather than the more popular 'jump up' that is very big at the moment.
My stand out track in the new dubstep scene is from a little know producer, who I hope can be booked in Derby soon, named Jakwob. Initially put on to him by my friend Dan ODell, who is in Leeds at the mo & an indie man through and through. His tracks are emotive yet still have the heavy drops and basslines that make dubstep so addictive.
His talent is clearly being noticed, with his signing to Coda Agency and his tracks getting plays by all the big underground DJs on Radio1 & KissFM. This track is an old one but a good one, with a remix by Jakwob of Ellie Goulding's 'Starry Eyed Suprise'. This track has a huge bassline half way through and the vocal sends a shiver down your spine, a proper late night banger!
