One of my stars of this year, Coat Of Arms, have delivered another remix following their phenomenal mix of Viadrina's 'Luna'. This time its for the relatively unknown Adriatique & Thyladomid's new single Feeling Good, its got that gorgeous analogue feel they always nail with that undercurrent of Bristol bass which characterises everything that Daniel pearce, aka Eats Everything works on. Alongside Coat of Arms partner Chris James he's been responsible for some of the smashes of this year, most notably the huge 'Is This Something', supported by the likes of Jamie Jones, need we say any more? Wrap your ears around this bad boy....
I really don't know what's going on in Bristol right now but it keeps churning out some of the most cutting edge house music out there right now. I'm a little slow on the uptake of this EP but i'm really feeling Bowski's unique weirdly chilled style. Favourite track from this is definitely 'White Russian'...
Following in the vein of the disco sound we're loving right now, this is a fresh cut from Kitsune's Jupiter and someone I've never heard of Kassav. Its a funky slice of nearly tropical disco, not quite apt for a cold British Christmas, but phenomenal nonetheless. If this is your vibe then watch out for Ian's phenomenal disco mix dropping any day now.
Just stumbled upon this track whilst on the Crosstown Rebel's soundcloud page. I'll be the first to admit that i'm not the biggest deep house fan around simply because it can all get a bit boring and repetitive but then a tune like this comes along and completley blows me away, you need this tune...
2011 was massive for deep house as a genre and 2012 is looking like it's going to be even bigger. One of the pioneering labels Crosstown Rebels have really set the benchmark, topping Resident Advisor's poll of the best labels of 2011. This latest release sees Art Department back on top form...
New remix from manchester based HeavyFeet, you might remember their tune 'I Will' which i was absolutely creaming over for a long time. Same pumping electro vibes here, perfect for rocking a dancefloor, love it.
Continuing the theme of Bristol completely dominating the house scene right now, some of my favourite producers, the Waifs & Strays have turned out another banger, this time in the form of a remix. Having been literally addicted to their previous productions, 'Yeah Yeah' and 'Body Shiver' in particular, its safe to say I was excited for this one and it doesn't disappoint.....
Fresh from The Magician's latest Magic Tape is this Plastic Plates remix of Sneaky Sound System's 'Friends'. I dunno how he does it but Plastic Plates seems to create impossibly funky vibes with anything he touches and this is no different. Getting released soon on Rec Room...
Joris Voorn is undoubtedly one of my favourite ever electronic artists, his melodic take on pumping tech house is rivalled by no-one. He's is also one of the very few producers who i can safely say has never produced a bad tune, which is why i couldn't wait for this to be released...
So its finally dropped, after hyping the preview on our show and on here DJ Slan has dropped the full version of his debut track "Nebula" and as predicted its a banger, but don't just take our word for it, listen below:-
If you're a fan check out his Soundcloud or catch him DJing at Night Kids on Fridays and on monthly rotations at Candyboxx Wednesdays as well as at a host of other nights in Edinburgh, where he tears it up with his big room house sounds!
By now you will almost certainly know of our obsession with Alex Metric and the theme continues with his remix of the excellent Miike Snow's latest release. Debuted tonight on Pete Tong's show its a textbook Italo-infused slice of house from the man behind Open Your Eyes as well as phenomenal remixes for the likes of Gorillaz, Ellie Goulding, Fenech Soler and more. Give it a listen below and get ready to have a new favourite tune, Metric kills it again!
We've already waxed lyrical enough about Joe Goddard's anthem 'Gabriel' but that was before this remix! The Aston Shuffle are an Australian duo who put out some pretty funky electro but for this remix they've completely mixed it up, using steel drums to give the song a whole new vibe. I got this on an Edwin Van Cleef mixtape, which is also well worth checking out. Its out soon on the phenomenal Greco-Roman label, make sure to get it as soon as!
And here's the mixtape I found it in, full of plenty of other bangers, I've linked up a download for Volta Bureau's 'Alley Cat' which is absolutely killing it right now for so many DJs.
Chad Valley – Fast Challenges James Blake – The Wilhelm Scream (Poindexter Remix) Moullinex & Peaches – Maniac (Instrumental Mix) Edwin van Cleef – Falling Joe Goddard – Gabriel (Aston Shuffle Remix) Kenna feat. Shimmy Hoffa – Chains Royksopp – What Else Is There? (Thin White Duke Remix) Sneaky Soundsystem – Big (Oliver Remix) Edwin van Cleef – Nala Oliver – Memories Of The Future Chemical Brothers – Believe Volta Bureau – Alley Cat Surrender – Conflicted
Just a quick one today about two of Britains fastest rising bass-music producers. Nu-garage phenomenon Mosca has been tearing it up with tunes such as 'Bax' bringing together the best of house and garage to create undeniably funky beats and if you don't know who Julio Bashmore is by now you need to sort yourself out! This meeting of two pioneers of the scene brings predictably excellent results.....
I've just come across this preview put up on the Fool's Gold Records website. This massive collaboration between A-Trak and bassline master Zinc is set to be an absolute smash...
This is my final post of a pretty blog-centred day, I've had this beauty lingering in my Itunes for a week or two and somehow it got lost. Until this evening. Oh my god. Tensnake cannot produce a bad tune, this melancholy (how else do you approach a Radiohead remix?) slice of 2-steppy disco is perfect for a Sunday evening, giving Thom Yorke's vocals, if possible, even more power with phenomenal percussion. My obsession with Tensnake continues........

Hot tip feature on Huxley:-
Known to his friends as Michael Dodman, Huxley is making massive waves in the house scene, with releases on labels such as Act Natural and Matt Tolfrey's phenomenal Leftroom imprint. Alongside collaborators Ethyl & Russo or alone, Huxley produces garage edged tech/deep-house with undeniable funk. His recent track with Russo, 'Reality Check' has had me hooked for some time and I have no doubt you'll feel the same way, intelligently using a hip-hop tinged vocal to tip an already killer beat into overdive its a certified peak time banger, don't just take my word for it, check it out below.....

If you're a fan of The Juicy Show or are anything approaching a regular user of this blog then you'll know all about my penchant for Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Richy Ahmed and the whole Hot Creations camp. They've just released the second edition of their Hot Waves compilation which showcases some of the upcoming artists they come across. Its packed full of phenomenal tunes from Hot Creations regulars such as Russ Yallop, Lee Foss and Robert James through to relatively unknown artists such as Jakkin Rabbit and Ashley Wild. The selection of 19 tracks captures the deep house sound which Jones and so many others are championing right now with big, funky basslines and hip hop infused samples, proving just why they're on top of the world right now. Released last month it is definitely worth your time, I've had it on steady repeat this weekend and it's just getting better and better!
So far my standout tracks have been the opener, Jakkin Rabbit's analog banger 'Blame', the always excellent Wildkats 'Perpetrating' which I played on Fridays show (online soon) and Ashley Wild's 'Riding In The Red', which has one of the coolest basslines I've heard pulsing throughout the entire track. Having chosen those 3, to be honest you could pick any track as a favourite and have no opposition from me, I cannot speak highly enough of it!

Although we don't have the show we do have this 'behind the scenes video' of our Ustream feed of our mix-off with Slayer Slan after smashing out Nebula on the airwaves, hilarious scenes (the music goes off in the studio when mics are up so it jumps around a bit)
And finally we're moving onto a new Facebook page, check it out here and tune in on Friday when we'll be back gracing the airwaves!
We're on air in ten minutes with a maaaassive show! We've got new Luca Lozano, Aeroplane, Huxley and a brand new EP from Julio Bashmore on Futureboogie which we received about 3 hours ago!

Teaser - Kelis - Bossy (Alan Braxe & Fred Falke Remix) - tune in for more tonight!
Hospital Records has become synonymous with the freshest, most cutting edge D'n'B around. They have pioneered the majority of the biggest names around, smashed pretty much every existing festival and brought D'n'B to the masses. Judging by their latest releases, they have no intention of letting up. In true Hospital fashion, to celebrate this milestone achievement they're releasing a double compilation CD of brand new material including a brand new VIP mix of High Contrast's 'If We Ever' as well as a history of Hospital mix by Cyantific. Even if D'n'B ain't your thing, get on this and see why this label has dominated for so many years....
We're massive fans of Maxxi Soundsystem and Danny Daze so this is a match made in heaven. It was released on Nurvous and is a certified banger, turn it up!
The phenomenal Maya Jane Coles delivers another slice of deep house perfection on Hypercolour, this is only a small snippet so stick around for the full version. She just posted it on her Facebook and I'm already hooked, simply phenomenal!
Annie Mac dropped this tune last night on her show, from The 2 Bears aka Raf Daddy and Joe Goddard and it continues in the vein of their previous garage tinged house releases. Great work on vocals by the excellent Joe Goddard. This should whet your appetite before their album 'be strong' is released on Southern Fried on January 30th, expect big things!
Here's a quick post about an Australian artist called Flume who has recently been drawn to my attention and makes some prime tunes. To me it seems like a slightly more upbeat poppy version of SBTRKT-esque chilled 2 step vibes, so so lush. My favourite tune is Over You Ft. Anthony For Cleopatra which is getting played on the Juicy! Show tonight, 8-9 on FreshAir.org.uk...
I stumbled across this tune recently from one of my favourite pop/funk/disco Treasure Fingers, this video only went up on youtube a week ago but you'll no doubt agree he's back to his best...
I've just subscribed to The Rebel Agency podcast, which is the agency covering the Crosstown Rebels acts, so it's got pedigree..... The podcast consists of a monthly mix from one of the artists signed to the agency, this month was the turn of Visionquest member and all round deep-house connoisseur Shaun Reeves and he smashed it! The Didier Sinclair tune is my favourite but to be honest they're all phenomenal:-
The fantastic Italian 5 piece that are Reset! have dropped a new tune, which we gave a play on our first show back on Friday. It comes in the form of a remix from newcomers 909 and has an amazing piano line to it. Currently there's only a radio rip available but rest assured when the full version drops we'll be getting it on here!
So on Friday night we had the great pleasure of returning to the Fresh Air studios and broadcasting our first show of the year and it was fantastic to be back!
We've shaken things up a bit this year with more focus on interviews and our local hero feature, we had a snippet of our Kissy Sellout interview, which you can listen to here and Laurence Nolan delivered us an excellent deep mix in preparation for his set tonight at Hawke & Hunter alongside Azari & III for Heavy Gossip & Ultragroove, listen to the mix below....
1. Trickski - Good Time To Pray (Feat. Ernesto) (Axel Boman Remix) 2. Jordan Peak Brutal Life 3. Lula Circus - Pumpin Groovin Moovin (Pezzner Remix) 4. DJ Assasin - A Face In The Crowd (Intellidred Mix)
Unfortunately for us the show only recorded for 45 minutes so the Juicy! chart and our encore tune by the excellent Jodi,Menz & Hosta are missing but they're included in the tracklist so you can get an idea of how things panned out. We also went deep for 3 tracks before Laurence's mix with some fantastic tunes from David K, Subb-An & Christophe, check it out below!
Tonight is our first show back of the year! We're 2 weeks behind the station launch but we've been off trying to skydive and seeing Eric Prydz tear up newcastle.
This year we're occupying our usual 8-9 slot every Friday night of term and as per, you can listen in on Fresh Air Radio
Then catch all our interviews and past episodes on the Juicy! Mixcloud.
Speaking of interviews, we caught up with Kissy Sell Out just before the Edinburgh leg of his UK tour, listen to the full interview here...
Hot on the heels of the phenomenal Benoit & Sergio's remix, comes Juicy! favourite, Tensnake's interpretation of one of the standout tracks on The Friendly Fire's new album 'Pala'. He brings his textbook nu-disco groove to an already excellent tune and proves why he is quite simply the best at what he does, check it out below!
Ok so a few weeks back we got asked to compile a podcast for The Edinburgh Evening News, which was a welcome opportunity for us to put together some tracks from a slightly deeper side of our tastes. It's just dropped today and here it is, we aimed to keep it funky and not too deep so that it was more dancefloor orientated, have a listen and let us know what you think.
1. Thought We Were Alone (Feat. Milosh) (Gadi Mizrahi & Eli Gold Money Vs Gold Remix)- Lucky Paul [Somethinksounds] 2. Something Special - Miguel Campbell [Hot Creations] 3.Orange And Blue - Burnski [Air London] 4.Something for the Weekend (Lee Foss & Robert James Spirit Remix) - Ben Westbeech [Strictly Rhythm] 5.Can't Leave You - Maceo Plex [Crosstown Rebels] 6.Body Shiver - Waifs & Strays [Hot Creations] 7.So Real (Huxley Remix) - Combo [Rebirth] 8.Shes Slow Motion - MANIK [Ovum] 9.Too Much - Art of Tones [Room With A View] 10.The Sound Of Violence (Franco Cinelli Remix) - Cassius [Cassius Records] 11.Lovin' Together - Coat Of Arms [Pets Recordings] 12.Heartbreak - Waifs and Strays [Leftroom] 13.Missing You - Cera Alba [Hot Creations] 14.Still Jackin - Audio Werner [Hartchef Discos] 15.Different Morals (Mat Playford Rework) - Luca C & Brigante ft Ali Love [Southern Fried] 16.Envision (Ame Remix) - Osunlade [Innervisions] 17.The Pleasure Victim - Groove Armada [WORKit] 18.The End Of It All - John Tejada [Palette Recordings]
Just came across this phenomenal mix today from one quarter of one of house musics biggest acts, Visionquest. Alongside Lee Curtis, Seth Troxler and Ryan Crosson, Shaun Reeves has been responsible for a string of hits and a label which has released tunes by the likes of Laura Jones, Dinky and David K. This mix showcases the deep, funky style which has made them such a phenomenon, with tunes from Midland, Matt Tolfrey and many more, it's essential listening....
Thomas Gandey, also known as Cagedbaby, has just dropped an absolute stormer of a track to be released on Southern Fried Records, it's called 'The Piano Track' and its got that textbook Gandey disco groove, with a fantastic, atmospheric piano riff in it. With no download to be found, you'll have to be satisfied with the Soundcloud preview, well worth a listen!
If this sort of thing is your vibe then get yourself down to Heavy Gossip & Ultragroove's Halloween Ball tonight, I'm playing solo from 12, with the freshest house and disco cuts, get on it!
If you're anything like a regular user of this blog then you'll know how wild I go for anything Tim Green touches, from his early work like 'Old Sunshine' and 'Make Me' with Emerson Todd as well as his huge remix of Cassius '99' through to the more recent stuff like his pumping remix of Argy's 'Unreliable Virgin' and the phenomenal 'Lemon' and it's safe to say he's not bucking the trend anytime soon. His new jam is a disco infused tech-house banger, 'Cherry'. Without a doubt one of my favourite tunes of this year and sure to be a staple in our sets over the coming few months, check it out below:-
Its released on an offshoot of Damian Lazarus's excellent Crosstown Rebels imprint, called 'Rebellion', you need this in your life, go out and get it and, if you're anything like me, then sit in your room with it on repeat!
So we've just finished off 2 mixes, one for the Edinburgh Evening News Clubbing podcast, which we'll be dropping later, the second is our brand new promo mix for Winter 2011. We've gone in on an electro tip for this one, aiming it more at the students and packing it with acapellas to make it more dancefloor orientated. It features some fantastic disco from men of the moment, Plastic Plates, Aeroplane (who has just dropped his In Flight Entertainment Mix), The Magician and Joe Goddard, before moving onto more fidgety sounds courtesy of Foamo and Say Yes To Another Excess (otherwise known as StopMakingMe and one half of The C90s) before finishing off with Fake Blood and Brodinski, in a whirlwind 40 minutes. The cherry on the cake however is that the mix features one of our productions, Ian's, as yet untitled, jazz fuelled banger, big look!
Have a listen, leave some feedback and if you like what you heard we're available for bookings up and down the country (preferably Edinburgh).

Just a quick one today from me, about the fantastic new release on Visionquest, by David K, Pete Tong gave it the ultimate seal of approval 2 weeks ago, making it the essential new tune and it's fully deserved! As with any Visionquest release the production is fantastic, its got a really nice, moody vocal and phenomenal bassline, turn it up and get hyped for the weekend!
Bonus - Simon Baker - Grey Area (Burnski & Robert James Remix) Hot Creations rising starts Burnski and Robert James give Simon baker the treatment, taken from his Fabric promo mix (listen below), well worth checking out:-
It's just under 2 weeks until radio broadcast starts back and we're both getting anxious to slot back into Fresh Air's Friday line-up. So to tide you over until the show starts back here are a few tunes and a mix...
This is some really funky tech house, reminds me alot of Ray Foxx's 'The Trumpeter' which was massive not too long ago. Don't know much about this guy but he uses loads of flutes and trumpets in this tune, absolute banger.
Monkey Safari are two German producers from Halle with some groovin deep/funky disco house vibes and they've just come out with this really chilled release 'Son'
Next up are two real curve balls from Foamo. Although he was a pioneer of the fidget/bassline movement, both of these tune have a real balkan feel to them. The massive basslines are still there but are no longer the focus of the track, i sincerely hope this is his taste maturing because i'm loving what i'm hearing
Finally is a mix i picked up on Resident Advisor a while back, some absolutely amazing deep tunes in there, well worth a listen... Om:cast 18 - J.Phlip 'i luv u 4 eva' by OmRecords
So a month or so has passed and we've seen Fake Blood, Annie Mac, Maya Jane Coles, Tony Lionni, James Zabiela and so many more absolutely kill it in Edinburgh and there's only more to come

Rising big house star Hardwell hits The Liquid Rooms for Say2Me's Edinburgh debut and we have the pelasure of warming up alongside one of our best friends, Arslan (Slayer Slan). Hardwell was last in town supporting Tiesto, so he's obviously got pedigree and his releases prove that, get on ti!

I'm writing this, still very delicate from a massive party last night, Zabiela & Maya Jane Coles smashed it! The Liquid Rooms was rammed and the Musika faithful were loving it! Zabiela stage dived at the end and the crowds adulation was clear,truly phenomenal! Aside from that theres been a host of new tunes cropping up, a lot of which come from Jaymo & Andy George's Thursday night INDJWT show which is essential listening!
Some big news now, Hardwell has just been announced as the guest for Say2me's launch night and we've got the pleasure of being on warm up duties alongside one of our mates, Slayer Slan. the big night is the 24th October, at one of our favourite venues, The Liquid Rooms, and with tickets as cheap as a tenner there's no excuse not to come down!
Having just supported Tiesto in Edinburgh and produced a string of laaarge club bangers and remixes Hardwell is on fire at the minute, if you don't believe us then check out his mix for his radio show On Air below for a taster of the carnage that he'll bring with him.....

Surkin - Ultra Light - Finally a 320 of this massive tune, such a cool beat from French Housers and Marble heads Surkin.
The Rapture - How Deep is Your Love (A-Trak Remix) - A-Trak's finest work since Heads Will Roll, this isn't a 320 but it should whet your appetite for the full release, anthemic! Also check out his 'Dub For Mehdi', available for free download, just hit here!
Waifs & Strays - Body Shiver - Yeah Yeah has been my tune of the last few months and Bristol houser's Waifs & Strays continue to dominate with a fantsatic new tune. featured on Jamie Jone's FabricLive compilation, high praise indeed!
Fake Blood - Medieval - Another one we've been waiting forever for, a phenomenal bassline, which will rip The Liquid Rooms a new one on Saturday night, get on it!
And now its time to go a little bit deeper...
Burnski - Orange and Blue (mrtzc link, follow the instructions, trust me. it's worth it)- Beautiful deep house from rising start Burnski, sounded unreal at Heavy Gossip last Saturday.
