Jack's April 2011 Chart

Thought we'd start compiling a chart for each month as we go through, just to wrap things up and give you access to what we think are the ten biggest tracks out there. We're going to do a joint one each month but as this is the first time, we thought we'd do individual ones just to double the fun!

We're probably going to move it to Resident Advisor at some point, then forward it to the blog, but for the minute it's just an unofficial blog-post, so give us any feedback or hit us up with your charts on justtoojuicy@hotmail.com or on twitter/justtoojuicy.

Obviously our tastes are very ecclectic and that'll be represented in here, the tracks may not necessarily have been released in the month of the chart but if we've discovered or loved them then, then that's where we'll put them. This month has seen the release of Pete Tong & Riva Starrs Future Underground as well as hype over the new 2 Bears EP, Bear Hug. We've also seen Seth Troxler, Riva Starr and Funkagenda in the Essential Mix and been to see Alex Metric, Jaymo & Andy George, Boy-8-Bit, Diplo, Sinden, Riva Starr and The Magician meaning that house has featured heavily this month, which I'm sure you will be able to tell.

Here we go.....


1. Joey Negro & Gramophonedzie - No Sugar [Z Records]

2. 2 Bears - Be Strong [Southern Fried Records]

3. Julio Bashmore - Battle For The Middle You [PMR Records] - slow on the uptake of this, absolute monster!

4. Hot Natured - Forward Motion (feat. Ali Love) [Hot Creations]

5. Toddla T - Take It Back (Feat Shola Ama & J2K) [Ninja Tune]

6. Guti - All The Girls [Desolat]

7. Adam Port - Symphony [Snatch!]

8. Alex Metric & Steve Angello - Open Your Eyes (Tim Mason Festival Remix) [Positiva]

9. Peter & The Magician - Twist [Kitsune]

10. Metronomy - The Bay (Erol Alkan Extended Rework) [Because Music]

Juicy! DJs - BBC Introducing

 

Here at the Juicy! blog we like to keep you up to date with all our goings on and this one is a bit special. Some of you might know i'm originally from Carlisle, i love the place but there's never much going on untill Radio 1 announced they were bringing the cream of modern music's crop of talent to an airfield 5 mins from my house. 

But that isn't the best bit. 

Throughout the week leading up to it, loads of R1 DJs are living in and around carlisle and they're throwing a series of free parties to mark the occasion. The one everyone want to go to is on thursday night at Concrete, free party, first come first served. It's gonna be ram-jammed. I've been asked to play, not sure of the set time quite yet but Jack's heading down with me as well. 

Guaranteed to be an absolutely wild night so get down early.  

Naturally we can't leave you without any tunes so here's a delicious lil' remix... 

Something Good Can Work (The Twelves Remix) - Two Door Cinema Club

Juicy! Interviews: Sinden, Dillon Francis & Judge Jules

 

It's been a mentally busy week here at Juicy! we've had interviews with some of the biggest names in the industry, we've chilled, partied and met the likes of Diplo and as per usual revision has been sacraficed. Just to pre-warn you lot this blog will go a bit quiet in the coming weeks as we stumble through our exams.  

But enough, let's crack on with the important stuff... 

 

Last night (5th May) saw the people behind the Red Bull Music Academy bring an absolutely storming line-up to Edinburgh's Liquid Rooms. Major Lazer and Mad Decent co-founder Diplo headlined with support coming from Mega Mega Mega player and Kiss FM broadcaster Sinden as well as LA based moombathon champion Dillon Francis.  

Dillon kicked off proceedings, simmering at 110bpm, getting the groove going in a way only moombathon can. Quick note, Dillon opened with a tune that sent me absolutely wild, Nero - Me & You (Danger Remix), Kit posted it ages ago and it's the best nero remix out there. Sinden & Diplo rocked up about 12 just in time for the start of Sinden's set. 

As expected he brought the crowd up another couple of notches in his trademark style that has gained him so much attention on Kiss FM. For me, The Count & Sinden's 'Panther' was a real stand out tune in his set and the crowd reacted in a similarly animalistic way. After Sinden, Diplo took to the decks. 

I don't like to gush but that man has some mad skills. What really impressed me was how he kept the crowd guessing, he'd be hammering some really underground primitive dutch whilst teasing in Lil' Wayne's 'A Milli', of what i saw of his set my favourite bit was when he mixed in Missy Elliot's old school classic 'Get Your Freak On' into Afrojack's mix of Pon De Floor. Wild.  

After Sinden's set, the carnage began. What was supposed to be a calm, serious 10:30pm chat with Sinden turned into drunken 2am patter with not only Sinden but Dillon Francis, Clouds, their tour manager and the lovely people behind Red Bull Music.  

It was fairly wild and we found some interesting stuff but i don't want to spoil the interview...  

Sinden & Dillon Francis Interview - Juicy! Show by Justtoojuicy on Mixcloud 

Moving on to our shenanegans in the day on thursday when we got the pleasure of a phone interview with none other than Judge Jules. 


Whilst he's not really our genre, it was amazing to interrogate a DJ, broadcaster and producer who's been smashing the scene for so many years now, he's doing his 12th year of residencies at Eden, few can make a more impressive claim than that. 


I don't know what it is but we always get some interesting results from our interviews, prepare to hear about how he goes about searching for new music, why he feels like a door-to-door salesman, having Pippa Midleton & Prince Harry on the decks, why he'd like to chill with Mario Ballotelli & the Dalai Lama and why his ideal night out would include sipping snakebite on a park bench.

Massive thanks to Judge Jules, Diplo, Sinden, Dillon Francis, everyone from Red Bull Music and all the management who made these interview possible, they were deffinetley worth all the effort!

Evil Nine - For Lovers

As anyone who checks this blog or listens in on FreshAir, me and Ian love Evil Nine, so when I heard that they had set up their own label, I was beside myself with excitement.

They don't appear to have signed anyone, but hang around for them to start, I have no doubt that whoever they get will be huuuuge, they have never failed to deliver in the past.

But to keep you going, here's their forthcoming single,

Evil Nine - It's You

And their smash from last year, 'Stay Up', a weapon for any DJ's record box:

Evil Nine -Stay Up

Stay posted for more news, reviews and revelations about For Lovers, I can assure you we'll be following it very closely indeed.

Liquid D'n'B - Wreckage Machinery

 

There's just about enough time today for yet another blogpost, don't know what it is but we're firing them out at the mo. Anyway, I'm taking a little detour from the musical niche we are slotting ourselves into to bring you something a bit special... 

This is Vienna based Liquid D'n'B artist Wreckage Machinery. He has produced a solid stream of releases for a few years now but it was his remix of 'My Soul' by Zoom that really caught my eye. Although he does produce more brutal tunes now and then, he really finds his stride when combining the ambient soundscape-esque elements with striking piano progressions and the classic skipping percussion. And as a bonus he hammers the sub-bass so when you crank it up on a good system it sound sabsolutley lush. 

Paul SG - Grey Skin (Wreckage Machinery Remix) 

Wreckage Machinery & Logan - Waves 

Wreckage Machinery - Long Gone 

Last but not least...

Soundcloud Update: Tunes, Mixes & More

First of all apologies for neglecting Juicy!'s Soundcloud Sundays for the past two weeks, i can assure you this was not intentional as two weeks ago we were wrapped up in finishing our promo mix and this sunday just gone we were hammering the interviews at Heavy Gossip & Musika's Day Of Rest. It will be back this sunday however!

Naturally, Soundcloud has been spewing out more content than the female population of newastle on a saturday night and after sifting through it, i've found some absolute gems i wanted to share with y'all...

First up, the group VillA (no, that's not a typo) of whom we at Juicy! are massive fans do monthly mixes. Reaching almost 1000 plays in a day is testament to just how good their tune selection and mixing is.
VillA 'in the mix' May 2011 by VILLA Soundcloud

The stand out tune for me in this mix is Todd Terje's new banger 'Ragysh'...

Todd Terje - Ragysh (Original Mix)

Second is track that lasts barely a minute but it's the one i was second most buzzed to find. Tensnake released this snippet, not sure what it's from, maybe a new single? maybe gauging people's reactions to an idea? Whatever it turns out to be it carries the undeniable old-school laced disco that has become his hallmark. Super exited to see what this turns into...
You Know I Know It (Snippet) by Tensnake

Third, a release from Jaymo & Andy George's Moda label. Mustang's storming downtempo remix of Monarchy's indie electro hybrid 'I Won't Let Go'...
Monarchy: I Won't Let Go (Mustang Remix) by itsmodamusic

Finally, to crown this Juicy! Soundcloud update we have the latest April 2011 Mix from none-other than Disco-don Vito, masquerading as Aeroplane.

I don't usually have much to say about the artists themselves but i really don't think Vito has the right to call himself Aeroplane. Not gonna lie, i love all the stuff he produces solo now aswell as back in the glory days of Aeroplane when it was Vito and Stefano, now The Magician. After they split, both their styles changed somewhat and only The Magician had the courage to re-brand the style of music he was creating. From what i've seen Vito is still riding the wave of popularity created during his partnership with Stefano albeit with a new sound. It almost feels as if Stefano has been shortchanged in this scenario and i don't like that because he's a fucking gent. Find out why here.

Enough of me chatting shit, here's Vito's latest mix and it's absolutley awesome.
Aeroplane April 2011 MIx by Aeroplane (Official)

And he was even kind enough to supply a tracklist...

1.Alex Winston - Sister Wife ( Moonlight Matters Remix )
2.Crimea X - Liubov ( Daniele Baldelli Remix )
3.Peter Visti - Be A Vise Man
4.Adele - Set Fire To The Rain ( Plastic Plates Remix )
5.Montauk - The Gum Thief
6.Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You ( Copacabana Remix )
7.B.C. x Delivery - Return To Me ( Munk Remix )
8.South West Seven - Absolute
9.Azari & III - Hungry For The Power ( Art Department Remix )
10.Shit Robot - Losing My Patience ( Unabombers Android Re-Fix )
11. Aeroplane - My Enemy ( Rex The Dog Remix )
12. Pro Logic - Stardust

James Blake x Lynx

James Blakes melodic, experimental, bass smash 'Limit To Your Love' has been given the treatment by Lynx, making it a liquid drum 'n' bass monster. The increased speed costs the song some of its subtlety but its more than made up for by the phenomenal sub-bass and piano, get this in your library regardless of whether you're a d'n'b fan.

Guti - Sunkissed house

I know this is the second in succession, but I'm on a roll tonight, digging the depths for new beats. Until about 3 weeks ago I hadn't heard of Guti, since then he has blown me away with his quality. I was introduced to him by his collaboration with Dubshape which Pete Tong featured on his disc of his Future Underground compilation with Riva Starr. If that wasn't high enough praise, The 2 Bears then spun it on their show on Ministry of Sound entitled Follow The Bears, which I highly recommend you check out.

Without further chat, here it is, this featured on our new Promo Mix, mashed up with a John Dahlback acapella, but this is it is in its' stripped back instrumental glory:-

Guti & Dubshape - Every Cow Has A Bird [Juicy! 'Juiciest Cut']

The man himself then reappeared, this time on the Beatport charts, with a new song, equally fantastic, South American influenced house, perfect for a sunny day!

Guti - All The Girls

Jamie Jones - Celebrating 6000 hits in style.

Firstly I'd like to thank each and everyone of you from the UK to Ukraine (we're worldwide now) for taking us to 6,000 hits, hopefully it's a continuing upward trend as the Juicy! blog brings you more of the freshest beats, mixes, clubbing news and interviews.

Secondly the Juicy! show will be airing this Friday, fresh from interviewing Sinden the previous day. We will be playing out the interview on air as well as banging out some of our biggest tunes and going in the mix live on air for the first time this year, giving you a taster of what we think is going to be filling the clubs this year, if our promo mixes weren't enough for you.

To celebrate hitting 6000 we've got a treat and a half for you, Jamie Jones on the remix of the new sultry, disco masterpiece from Azari & iii, this is a tune for after, afterhours, one of the best, yet darkest things I've heard:-

Azari & iii - Hungry For The Power (Jamie Jones Remix) [Direct Download]

If you're a fan get down to The Liquid Rooms on May 15th for Musika to see Jamie Jones for what promises to be a phenomenal night.

And as a bonus, to celebrate Jesse Rose's announcement for Karnival on 27th August, here's a gem of his given the remix treatment by the master that is Mason:-

Jesse Rose - Non-Stop (Mason Remix)

Day Of Rest Review, Riva Starr & The Magician Interview

On Sunday 1st May, two of Edinburgh's biggest house nights combined forces to produce 11 hours of music spread across 3 different rooms. We got the absolute pleasure of being able to interview not only house music don Riva Starr but also disco mafioso The Magician, both were really top guys and the interviews turned out suprisingly well! But before them, i'm going to do a cheeky review of the whole day...


With the doors opening at 2pm, Heavy Gossip and Musika's day of rest was always going to be a marathon session of sun, house music and to my suprise, loads of hot girls (must be the house music). Just before his set at 6pm (he had to go on earlier because he was playing his Snatch! night in london which was a shame). It was weird, i walked into the office to find of the biggest names in dance just finishing a drum arrangement on his new remix which featured a 1970's cartoon cat singing about marijuana.


And this is the interview I, and then Jack later, did with Riva Starr...

Riva Starr Interview - Juicy! Show by Justtoojuicy on Mixcloud 

Safe to say his set delivered, it was truly a lesson in how to DJ, build up a crowd and keep the energy going for 2 hours. it was strange to see that he had literally everyone in the room up on the floor going wild. 


After Riva finished, Jordan Cochrane & Lawrence Nolan took over and kept the groove going. We went to catch 30 minutes of Retro/Grade's set downstairs before heading to the office again to set up for The Magician's Interview. 


He arrived dressed in a full suit carrying a wand with The Magician engraved down the side, we didn't know what we had let ourselves in for. Turns out he was an absolute gent, really open about all our questions and didn't mind wasting his time chatting to a duo of wanna be DJs!  

But anyway, here's the full interview with The Magician... 

The Magician Interview - Juicy! Show by Justtoojuicy on Mixcloud 

After the interview, we went to the the basement for his set and what would turn out to be the highlight of the evening. It is completley clichéd but i mean this in all seriousness, it was one of the best sets i've ever been at. Not only did he play some of the most underground yet ridiculousy funky disco i'll probably ever here, he had everyone going wild for the full 2 hours of his set. It was also really refreshing to step back from] 128bpm house and submerse into old school styled 120bpm disco. A few of the songs i did recognise were... 

Daft Punk - Around The World (Must have been some sort of Magician disco edit) 

Tame Impala - Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind (Erol Alkan Rework) 

Tensnake - Coma Cat  

Basically, it was fucking class. 

To end the evening in style i listened to the 500th Essential Mix by Aeroplane which really demonstrates really well The Magician's style...

Exclusive Dirty Secretz + Avicii + Sidney Samson

Dirty Secretz have been smashing it lately with a whole ton of brand new remixes and originals. For those of you who've never heard of 'em before, here's a extract from their official site...

"Dirty Secretz are no longer the secret they once were. Rewind two years and you’ll find two personas polar opposite to each other. Ying and Yang, chalk and cheese. Jay had been making her name in the clubs with her DJs sets whilst Richie had been locked in his studio refining his skills and producing his own tracks, remixes and reedits. A chance encounter at a club they were both booked to play threw them together and their differences soon proved to be a combined force to be reckoned with."

They've been asked by Ministry of Sound Radio to put together a 15 minute mix of their own exclusive new productions... Let's see what you think of 'em!



Tracklisting
1. Dirty Secret vs Underground Movement - Shake (Original mix)
2. Dirty Secretz & Will Clarke - Hazlo (Dirty Secretz re-rub)
3. Danny Jayye feat. Vianne - Coasting (Dirty Secretz mix)
4. Dirty Secretz - Beta (Original mix) (320 Download)
5. Dirty Secretz - The Movement (Original mix)
6. Felix Leiter - Sky High (Dirty Secretz remix)
7. Dirty Secretz - Discopolis (Original mix)

Oh, and one more thing, here's a couple of songs I've been hammering in clubs...

Armin Van Buuren - Drowning (Feat. Laura V) (Avicii Remix)

Steve Aoki & Laidback Luke - Turbulence (Feat. Lil' Jon) (Sidney Samson Remix)

Much love,

Juicy! Loves............ The 2 Bears.

To celebrate the fact that the 2 Bears mixed one half of the brand new Southern Fried & Tested compilation (number 3) I decided to dedicate a blog post to the furry duo. The 2 Bears consist of Raf Rundell and ex-Hot Chip frontman Joe Goddard and are now creating music influenced by everything from Detroit techno to reggae. Their original productions are widely supported by everyone from Annie Mac to Seth Troxler and they hold a weekly radio show on Ministry of Sound entitled Follow The Bears.

They are releasing a new 4 track EP entitled Bearhug on June 20th to back up previous releases Follow the Bear and Curious Nature, both of which came with fantastic remix packages.

So without further delay get your teeth into some of their amazing tunes:-

The 2 Bears - Church (Midland Remix) (Direct Download)

The 2 Bears Minimix For Annie Mac (Direct Download)

The 2 Bears - Mercy Time (Supabeatz Remix) (Direct Download)

Juicy! Summer 2011 Promo Mix

Here it is, probably one of the most important blog posts that we're going to be doing this year, our first proper promo mix as the Juicy! DJs.

The demo is split into 2 parts, the first part was mixed by Jack, a more laidback section, featuring gorgeous disco from the likes of Villa, Tensnake and Aeroplane, mellow house and techno from the likes Soul Clap, Round Table Knights and Nalin & Kane and finishing on a storming remix of Swoon by the masters that are Lindstrom & Prins Thomas.

The second part, mixed by me is a lot more upbeat, massive tech bangers from the likes of Johan Dresser, Joris Voorn, NiCe 7, Adam Port & Riva Starr before moving into funky electro from Style Of Eye, Evil Nine, La Zebra & Surkin.

But before we get to the mixes i just want to mention Saturday just past when, as the Juicy! DJs we played 12-1 before Alex Metric at The Liquid Rooms.

It. Was. Insane.

Not only did we warm up, we played 2:30 - 3 as well when Metric finished. I've honestly never seen a crowd go that wild in a long time also, Metric was also an absolute gent.

But enough about that, let's crack straight in with the mixes...

New Gramophonedzie, Joey Negro & Nu Garage

Just stumbled upon this brand new funk/house beat from Joey Negro & Gramophonedzie called 'No Sugar. Absolutley buzzing to see Gramophonedzie smash his homeland at exit this year, no doubt this gem'll get dropped...
Joey Negro and Gramophonedzie feat. Shea Soul - No Sugar preview by gramophonedzie

Secondly, us here at Juicy really think the emerging Nu Garage scene has really got the potential to blow up. As this track from Artfulmark shows, producers are taking mid-90's garage template and combining it with everything that's good about the current electro scene, take this beat as proof...

Juicy's Soundcloud Sundays #4

 

Many apologies for being a whole two days late, but better late than never! Not gonna lie i'm nursing a horrific hangover at the moment and sweating vodka simultaneously so this week's Soundcloud Sundays is going to be short and sweet. 

#5 Grandtheft - Let Me Out (U-Tern Remix) 

Remeber U-Tern's fantastic disco remix of Mark Ronson's Bang Bang Bang? Well he's back with this brand new remix and it's absolutely killing it, he seems to have this ability to bring the best elements of classic disco into his productions. Such a funky beat. 

Grandtheft - Let Me Out feat. Alixe Turner (U-Tern Remix) by U-Tern


#4 Ell-Er - Overheating
Next up is some seriously deep berlin tech vibes with a twist. Ell-Er, by taking tech house back to 120ish bpm, has created something awesome and strangely danceable.
Ell-Er - Overheating (Original Mix) Teaser by Ell-Er

#3 Synkro & Indigo - Reflection
Next up is something a bit different. 'Reflection' is half ambient soundscape and half minimal D'n'B. The breakdown and subsequent build up are amazing and you're really caught off guard when the subbass comes back in, phenomenal.
Synkro & Indigo - Reflection - EXIT 031 - AA by Exit Records UK

#2 D.Ramirez & Kristoph - Feeling High
If you're a Juicy regular you'll know just how much me and Jack love anything toolroom knights do and D.Ramirez's new banger is no different. He always creates these amazing collages of sound from loads of different samples yet retains an innate funkiness in everything he produces.

#1 Breakbot - Fantasy Feat. Ruckazoid
Number one this week was an absolute no brainer. Breakbot's last production 'Shades of Black' released through Ed Banger's Let The Children Techno compilation is easily one of my top tunes for the year and this follows in the same vein.

I was searching for the magnificent Jamie Jones on the remix of Azari & iii's new tune Hungry For The Power and I came across this fantastic mix, by Bxentric, tunes from such talents as Essential Mixers Retro/Grade, house legends the Juan Maclean and the man himself, Jamie Jones, check it out for an hour of the most upfront and gorgeous disco house vibes, beautiful.

The April Jockey Club by Bxentric on Mixcloud

Unsurprisingly, given their pedigree, I found out that they are Moda residents and their first single was chosen to be featured in an Aeroplane monthly mix, expect big things from Bxentric.

Their remix of disco magicians Flight Facilities - I Crave You

Check out Bxentric now and expect big things, these boys are incredibly talented.

A Cheeky Few Bootlegs!

I haven't posted anything in a while and for good reason, I've spent the past 3 weeks cooped up in my bedroom with Ableton at my side, hastily preparing for Uber's official after party for Radio 1's Big Weekend in my hometown Carlisle. Luckily I've snapped up the chance to play alongside the likes of Annie Mac, Erol Alkan, Kissy Sell Out and the returning Moda lads Jaymo & Andy George.

Here are just a few of what I've been firing together...

Axwell - I Found King Of Hearts (Kit McBride Bootleg)

Daft Punk - One More Aerodynamic Time (Kit McBride Bootleg)

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem (Kit McBride Bootleg)

(I apologise for this last one but because the punters wanted to hear it, I had to make it bearable!)

Much love,
