We've been a bit lazy recently so though we'd reignite things with a monster pack of disco to banish those Sunday Night Blues and get you all in the mood for a monstrous week of sessioning, should be big.
We played our first big gig as the Juicy DJs on Friday night at the Caves in Edinburgh, which was phenomenal, thanks everyone who came down and supported, it was a top night, if you didn't come heres a little taster of what me and Ian love -

So our posting has been terrible to say the least over the past month or so, but we're gonna get our arses back into gear to provide you lucky lot with our favourite tracks from all over.
In this instalment of the Juicy! show, we're joined by special guest Kit McBride and we're getting all exited for the Pete Tong and Afrojack gig at Ocean Terminal. As always we've got shitloads of cracking new tunes and questionable craic to go along with it...
It's been ages since legendary french label Ed Banger Records have released a compliation CD but they've come storming straight back with Let The Children Techno. It's got eeeeerrrverything from disco to dub and a shed load of unreleased things. Ed Banger have broken people like Justice, SebastiAn nad loads others so you know you're looking at the future of electro. GET ON IT.
Our posting's been fairly week recently so hopefully this one'll make up for it!
First up is 'Autosave' by Fedde Le Grand and Patric La Funk, it's getting mad love in the blogosphere at the moment and for good reason, massive hands in the air house, class...
Second is a tune that jack introduced to me and we played it on episode 9 of the Juicy! Show. I just can't get enough of that big bouncing disco bass line...
Third is Nightriders - Hey (Nom De Strip Remix), another song that falls into the category of more repetitive disco (disco-tech?) its a banger anyway...
Tensnake is a rising star in the dance music world producing arguably the best disco house in the world right now, he emerged onto the scene with his summer smash Coma Cat, which was played everywhere and if you havn't heard it you need it in your life -
But aside from that he's been churning out top quality disco left right and centre recently, including probably my favourite tune at the minute, we opened Juicy! on Friday with it, it's Tensnake's gorgeous rework of Aloe Blacc's funky 'I Need A Dollar', safe to say it's a beaaaut
And last but certainly not last his remix of rising stars Azari & III's 'Reckless With Your Love', another smooth slice of disco to transport you to somewhere sunnier, get involved
Catch me and Ian at Shanghai on Monday 10-12, Ian all night at the Lane on Wednesday and me warming up at for Bedbug and Foamo at CabVol on Friday, enjoy Tensnake to kick start your week xx
Team Juicy! in this week's episode we've got brrrrand new EDX, Kim Fai, Spencer & Hill, Sigma and Krafty Kut's new production which is nothing short of huge. We had a few technical issues with the monitoring which is why the levels are a bit off at the start. GO. GO. GO.
Plus, Me & Jack are playing our first proper set as the Juicy DJs this monday at the Valentine's Safe Sex Ball @ Shanghai sooo if you're around edinburgh, come down and support!
I've been building up my collection every since stumbling across their Digitalism remix about 2 years ago. They're new track 'Loving Someone Else' has been getting a bit of air time on Radio 1 and so it's only right that you hear where the two Welshmen came from. In short, they're called VanGuard, they make bouncy French House and it's energetic enough to rival the likes of Louis La Roche and Fred Falke.
This is just what I've managed to get my hands on, so chances are, you won't find much else lurking around the blogs...
Here it is, the first Juicy! show of 2011! this week we've got brand new Avicii, Dada Life, Chase & Status and special guest for the 3v3 showdown Anton Stalker. Lezz goo.
So here's a brrrand spankin' new track from bassline monsters Dada Life, it's getting played on the first Juicy show back this year. Boom. 8:30 - 9:30 on Fresh Air Radio
So I've finally got my head down in the studio to finish off the new Niveaux Sociaux track Miami Love, and as you'll hear, with the new year, I've taken an 80s discohouse approach to my productions. I'm glad to say the exclusive first play on FLY.FM got a great reception and I hope you guys like it just as much as they did!
Would like to give a big thanks to Andy Foster for the Miami Love artwork.
We've just been confirmed in our same time slot this term on FreshAir which is clearly massive news, so tune in this Friday at 830 for more brand new tunes and slightly less good quality patter.
I've finally got round to recording a promo mix for myself, so hopefully you'll be seeing and hearing a lot more from the Juicy! boys out and about over the next few months. Its meant to encapsulate a whole night out, starting out with funky disco and electro pop before getting progressively harder and more in your face, check it out here, any feedback appreciated.
This features my first Juicy! Bootleg which I'll be posting later, to back up the monsters which Ian has been making and posting, which are available here and here, I'd strongly recommend you get your hands on them and play them out, safe to say they're large.
Finally you can catch me DJing this Friday at the final Fuse at the Lane with the giant that is Congorock, get involved for what promises to be a farewell to remember x
We've just reapplied for a second spell on Freshair for the Juicy Show and to celebrate here is a tune guaranteed to be huuuuge in 2011, from two artists we absolutely love at Juicy, the behemoth that is Steve Angello and the ever brilliant Alex Metric. Rumour has it this tune is going to be touched up with some vocals from a very well known artist so hang around for that, but right now you'll have to be satisfied with the original mix, not such a bad turn of events as it turns out:
Us here at Juicy! absolutely rim Avicii and for good reason, turning out massive club bangers for fun. But now he's teamed up with Austin Leeds & Nick Terranova to produce this mammoth tune...
Aaaand Avicii's been playing his edit of Sweet Dreams in pretty much all of his sets, but it's not been released yet so Boomkin's stepped up to the plate and delivered a cheeky edit to keep us ticking over untill Avicii releases the real thing...
Right, i'm back from holiday despite loosing all my clothes somewhere between France and Edinburgh so we can get this blog malarkey rolling again.
2011 will be a class year.
Me and Jack are Djing more and more.
Pollock G-list is getting bigger and more notorious.
Juicy! Radio show is only getting bigger with the Student Radio Awards and interviews with big DJs in our sights already getting best specialist programming at the Fresh Air awards.
Juicy! blog is only getting more and more popular, getting on 1,300 views last month despite only being going properly 3 months.
We've got some fucking class names coming to Edinburgh. Afrojack, Pete Tong, Boys Noize, Erol Alkan, Sub Focus, Netsky, Sigma, Doctor P to name a few.
We're back for the next term and that means more Juicy! for you, me and Ian are back on the airwaves for your listening pleasure this Friday, get orrnn it - Juicy! Fridays on Fresh Air 8-930.
Got some massive disco to whet your appetite before then though,
First up is a collaboration between 3 artists who need no introduction, La Roux (Elly Jackson), Chromeo and Ducksauce on the remix, this is large, you need it in your life - Chromeo & Elly Jackson - Hot Mess (Ducksauce Remix)
Finally a tune thats been stirring up a lot of noise on the blogs, Louis La Roche's edit of Duck Sauce's new tune, this is lahhhaaaarrrggeeee (low quality link) - Duck Sauce - Goody Two Shoes (Louis La Roche Edit)
Punks Jump Up have entered 2011 with a heavy techno bang! The new single Blockhead (Kitsuné) reveals a more bouncy, youthful side of the English electro-punk duo, complete with remixes from Zombie Nation and Hey Today!, you'll want to grab this one before it's gone!
Happy New Year Juicy! people. What a fooking class night, Djing, getting dumped on my head, spending next to no money, it had it all. 2011 is set to be a banging year, for juicy! and electronic music in general. I'm off away tomorrow so this blog may be a bit quiet but stick around because it's getting smashed soon after,
As a special pre-NYE treat, I thought I'd fire this little belter up here. Switching from retro to club banger and back again, hopefully we'll hear more from A.Skillz in the upcoming year, I know I'd certainly like to!
Nero have handed their potential 2011 smash hit 'Me & You' over to the dark horse of French ElectroHouse; Danger. I think we've all been huge fans since '14h54', and despite taking an alternative route to a heavily sidechained bass, he still makes them just as punchy!
Right, I've been working on this far too long now and now it's feels just right. This is my brrrand spanking new promo mix i'm gonna spray all over edinburgh, it's basically just a big fuck off mix of all the tunes i've been playing out as well as acapellas and samples spread over 3CDJs. Plus if you stroll right down to the bottom you can get your hands on a few of my exclusive bootlegs used in this mix. Get Orrrn It!

Seeing as it's christmas and we've just passed 2000 views on this blog (not bad considering we've only been properly going for a few months) i've decided to upload and share some of my own bootlegs that i use in my DJ sets...
Not only is he a class producer and live act but a philanthropist aswell, get your present from Deadmau5 this christmas in the form of this track Limit Break....
We've just hit 2000 views, which is brilliant, so as a special christmas treat/celebration heres a stack of tunes to keep you going until new year, when you should get down to City to see DJ Ian Billet (Juicy) smash it with Kissy Sellout & Pendulum, a night not to be missed, especially if you've been missing your weekly fix of Juicy! on Freshair.
First up is a tune that has been tearing 2010 up, featured on Jaymo & Andy Georges Mixmag CD recently, its the catchy, techy, downright weird Djedjotronic remix of I Am Europe, do not miss this one - Gonzales - I Am Europe (Djedjotronic Remix)
Next up is a massive new remix from the prolific Joris Voorn, whose set at the Liquid Rooms for Musika on Saturday 18th December was without doubt one of the best nights I've ever been to, he finished what had been an amazing set on this phenomenal remix, well worth a look - Stephan Bodzin & Marc Romboy - Callisto (Joris Voorn Remix)
In my most recent post I basically declared my love for Alex Metric, who is set to have a massive 2011 and this tune is another one backed by him, guaranteeing its quality - Evil Nine feat. El-P - Stay Up
Moving on is this disco banger from Dan Castro remixing the Basement Jaxx, without doubt one of the funkiest tunes I'v heard all 2010, featured on the last Juicy show of the year - Basement Jaxx - Flylife (Dan Castro's Eivissa Remix)
Finally a tune from two DJ's me and Ian idolise, releasing their first production as a duo (other than remixes), with legendary grime star J2K on vocals and subskrpt on the remix, stormerrrrr - Jaymo & Andy George feat. J2K - Hold Me Back (Subskrpt Remix)
Thats all from us, thanks for all the support in reaching 2000 hits, hopefully there will be many more milestones to come, have a sick Christmas and New Year and stick around for bigger and better things from Juicy! next year xx
We've all heard Black Eyed Peas' abysmal attempt to rip off dutch house, and by the looks of it, so has the man who pioneered dirty bits, Afrojack. Nothing more to say except he's shown them exactly how it's done... Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) (Afrojack Remix)
We here at Juicy! are massive Afrojack fans. So you can imagine how excited i was when i found out i'd be getting my hands on 9 brand new Afrojack tunes. Very recently he released some unreleased tunes lingering around his hard drive in a collection called Lost & Found.
Been waiting for this one for ages and its finally dropped, both of these songs are from his new EP 19.5 They're both classic Pryda tracks that have immensely long build ups but the drops make it completely worth it...
I can't actually believe Avicii hasn't done an essential mix before, but it's fucking quality. He might not be the best looking DJ/producer around but 'Bromance', 'My Feelings For You' and 'Tweet It' are testament to just how good he is as a producer.
Essential Mix Tracklisting...
Avicii — Jailbait (w/ Faithless ‘Insomnia’ Acapella) Tim Berg — Abow (w/ Kings Of Leon ‘Sex Is On Fire’ Acapella) Swedish House Mafia — Miami 2 Ibiza (Instrumental Mix) Pocket 808 — Ghostship (Hook N Sling Remix w/ Eurythmics ‘Sweet Dreams’ Afrojack — Pacha On Acid Bingo Players — Toms Diner (Acapella) Steve Angello — Teasing Mr Charlie Avicii — Swede Dreams White LabelAvicii — Penguin Avicii — Unnamed Robyn — Hang With Me (Avicii Remix) Armin van Buuren — Drowning (Avicii Remix) Tim Berg, Axwell, Michael Woods — Can You Feel Bromance Is Dynamik (Tristan Garner Edit Vs Axwell Edit) Pendulum — The Island (Steve Angello, An21, Max Vangeli Remix) Dune — Heiress Of Valentina (Alesso Remix) Avicii & Sebastien Drums — My Feelings For You Axwell — Nothing But Love For You Otto Knows — Hide N Seek Marco V — Reaver Steve Angello — Knas Vs Insomnia (East & Young Bootleg) Tiësto & Diplo — C’Mon Congorock — Babylon Tim Berg — Bad Things Thomas Gold — Agora Tim Berg, Norman Doray & Sebastien Drums — Tweet It (w/ Empire Of The Sun ‘Walking On A Dream Acapella’)
It's been a while since his 'Fix Your Accent' EP having re-released 'I Think I Like It', but Fake Blood is back with one bouncy drop! This comes courtesy of Jaymo & Andy George's MixMag CD, but no doubt the original 320 will be hitting the blogs soon..
Soo the official Fresh Air broadcast has broadcast for the semester has ended but me and jack are so comitted to the session we've put on another show for y'all...
Theres been a couple of really good remixes of the legendary Rolling Stones floating around for a while now so I thought I'd share them with you all.
First up is the brilliant Soulwax's remix of You Can't Always Get What You Want, its a bit more laid back than a lot of Soulwax tunes but still delivers, well worth a look -
Next up are two fantastic remixes of Gimme Shelter, which in itself is amazing, I really like how theyve kept a lot of the songs original components in these mixes.
Not sure when or if this is being properly released but Jaymo & Andy George played it on their radio show last week and it's class. It's the sort of song you just know the clubs will go wild for, NUFF CHAT...
Sooo exams are quickly approaching and getting back revision reminds me how badly it sucks. So to pick up my (and your) spirits here's a selection of massive feel good house anthems.
The only option is to play these loud...
Funkagenda - Lmaoblade (Original Mix) - i just can't get enough of that breakdown with that synth/string combination at 4:00 and the build-up that follows.
We have'nt been posting enough d'n'b on the blog so I decided I'd rectify the situation, anyone who tunes into the Juicy! Show - Fridays On Fresh Air, 8-9:30 on Fresh Air Radio , will know that me and Ian love nothing more than a cheeky skank to a slice of drum and bass, so here we go....
First up is a producer who should need no introduction, DJ Fresh is one of the biggest producers on the scene at the minute, earning himself daytime airplay along with specialist support with his massive tune gold dust. This time he's teamed up with (relative) newboy Sigma to produce this absolute banger. This was my top tune in me and Ian's vs. and despite views to the contrary from esteemed station managers I reckon it sealed it for me, safe to say its lahhaaarge
Next up is Danny Byrd, his album Rave Digger has been on everyone who's anyone in the music world's speakers and for good reason, this time around he's remixing the talented Plan B to great effect -
Can't believe i forgot about this, released in november sometime. Got some verrrrrrry trippy techno beats in there, not exactly an easy listening album but a stormer nonetheless... Get it quick!
Skream's just retouched Katy B's massive collaboration with Ms Dynamite to massive effect, dubbing up the original to give it a whole new level, we played it on the show tonight and it went offff in the studio and on the facebook (tune in - Fridays 8-930 Freshair) this is only a 128 and it does'nt do it justice, keep your eyes peeled for a 320 - Katy B & Ms Dynamite - Lights On (Skream Remix) - 128
Wow. I've just come across this Los Angeles based producer called 'Them Jeans' on Erol Alkan's forum and some of his productions have absolutely blown me away. From the looks he's had releases on Dim Mak, Top Billin' and Mad Decent sooo ENOUGH CHAT, THIS GUY IS SHIT HOT....
