Juiciest Cuts: Bart B More, Umek, Stefano Noferini, Glitter, Audio Jack & More...

Just wanted to share some of the tunes that've been tickling my fancy recently...  


#1 Bart B More, Drop The Lime & AC Slater - The Bass (Original Mix) 
Three of the biggest names in bass music and even a song called 'The Bass'? You know what to expect. 


#2 Dirty Loud - Disco Records (Glitter Remix)
I'm really loving this pumping techno bassline feel at the moment (see Loops Of Fury - We Unfold then Andrea Bertolini - Speedmaster (Magitman Part 1 Remix) for what i'm on about) Absolute banger. 


#3 DJ ADHD & Piotr Grymek ft. Kasia Malenda - Set Your Clock (Blinders & Bream Remix) 
Real funky, old school sample driven, disco-esque house. Brings true summer vibes to a rainy august day, 'set your clock to the good time'. 


#4  Umek & Stefano Noferini - Complementary Access (Original Mix) 
Two tech house heavyweights collab for a mammoth late night banger with a huge build up, really needs to be played loud. 


#5 Audiojack - Mind Games (Original Mix) 
The synthline kind of reminds me of Juicy! favourite Stay Up by Evil nine, might explain why this track sounds awesome. Super funky pumping house which'll without doubt get you grooving.

Lime & Pink - Burnski Dub


Kris Wadsworth's gorgeous analogue anthem Lime and Pink has received two mixes from rising star Burnski, I've gone for the dub today, a beautifully stripped back, rolling piece of house music with an almost two-step kick, this is one you need to have in your collection!

Kris Wadsworth - Lime & Pink (Burnski Secret Garden Dub) [Direct Download]

More Burnski for you, this was included on Soul Clap's phenomenal Social Experiment 002 compilation featuring the likes of Lee Foss, Art Department, Miguel Campbell, Jozif and, of course, Soul Clap themselves. Burnski and Robert James' collaboration on Malibu is a phenomenal, deep, piece of house.

And finally here's a preview of the new Miguel Campbell jam, 'Baby I Got It', its such a funky slice of house, perfect for what should be an Indian summer...........

Waifs & Strays - Yeah Yeah


Just a quick one from me about rising Bristol house duo Waifs & Strays new jam, 'Yeah Yeah', they've already released on Leftroom and 'Yeah Yeah' is continuing their ascent, with radio 1's Heidi dubbing it ‘the dirtiest house track I have heard in a very long time’.

It certainly delivers and you can get your hands on it right here:-

Waifs & Strays - Yeah Yeah [Juicy! Juiciest Cut!]

P.S - Bonus track.

Fellow Bristolian Julio Bashmore turns in a phenomenally groovy remix of Christophe,

Belladrum 2011

 
The majority of the summer's antics are over bar creamfields, me & jack are back and the run-up to the start of uni is well and truly on. From here on in we're just gonna be getting hyped for second year, slotting into our residencies, getting back on the airwaves and spending the majority of fresher's desperately trying to creep on below average birds.  

But first, I travelled farther north than ever before to the middle of nowhere scotland to DJ at Belladrum Festival... 

 

The We Own lads were hosting the Mother's Ruin stage, which turned out to be a tiny DJ booth lofted 20 feet above the rubble of an old house with a 30k Elektrikal system hoyed in for fun, easily the best location i've played to date. I was spinnin' as the sun set 9 - 10:30 on the Saturday and despite the pissing rain, the scots were true to their nature, chanting 'HERE WE, HERE WE, HERE WE FUCKING GO' at any given chane. It was baaannngggiin'....  (iphone cameras are shit quality but you get the idea)


Here's some of the tunes i was hammering through the Eleltrikal system, anyone who's been to one of their events knows it's all about the bass! 

Heavy Feet - I Will (Original Mix) easily my fave tune of this summer, massive grooving bassline makes your feet move. 

Loops of Fury - We Unfold (Original Mix) (can't find a d/l link i'm afriad!) thought this was Waves by Boys Noize & Erol at first, it's crazy good. 

Jaymo & Andy George - Midnight (Original Mix) from their Tension EP, massive fakeblood-esque bassline driven electro.  

Get Hooked (DCUP Remix) - Nightriders  Proving once more he's got so much more than cheap Americano tunes.  

Stress (Auto Remix) - Justice Proper old but sent the place crazy.

Dribble - Muffler Finally, the curveball at the end, brand spanking new D'n'B from Hospital records new compilation. 

Big Thanks to the We Own (facebook) crew and the Elektrikal Sound System crew for throwing down such a crazy party.

New Bauchamp, Guti & Taras Van Der Voorde

Juicy! has been away for ages now and in order to rectify this the next few days will see a blizzard of posts, mixes, tunes and reviews. To start off with the Juicy! DJs have been booked to Play Karnival with Jesse Rose and Sugarbeat & Musika with Tiga on the 27th & 26th of August, with 5am festival licenses they promise to be biiiiig. With Ian at Creamfields I'll be playing both solo and in celebration of my return to the decks I'm working on a mix to drop tomorrow.

In the meantime here are some tunes full of summer vibes to get you grooving:-

If you follow us on Facebook or Twitter you'll have seen me hyping this tune from Bauchamp, who you may recognise for his role collaborating with The Round Table Knights on last summers anthem Calypso. Working solo he's delivered an equally brilliant tune and here it is, in wav format to do it full justice!

Bauchamp - Don't Care

bauchamp // DON'T CARE (hq 320 aiff for DJ's) by bauchamp

Next up the excellent Guti remixes Ray Foxx's phenomenal 'Trumpeter' making it a smooth, laidback house jam, well worth checking out.

Ray Foxx - The Trumpeter (Guti Remix)

Finally rising star Taras Van De Voorde has his new beat, 'The Game' transformed into a building piano laden anthem courtesy of Santos 909 & Piano Roll.

Taras Van De Voorde - The Game (Santos 909 & Piano Roll Remix)

Juicy! Introduces... Compuphonic

Juicy! people, i've stumbled across this belgian electro producer called Compuphonic whilst bumbling through RA tonight. His Emotion EP he did with Kolombo was picked up and released on Tiga's Turbo Label so you know he's got pedigree. It's hard to put a finger on the exact genre he produces and puts in his mixes; without doubt he leans heavily towards deep house but he brings it more upbeat with disco elements throughout which makes something really quite unique which i'm loving it at the moment.

My fave 3 tracks of his...

Compuphonic - Ovale (download link)
Compuphonic - Ovale by Compuphonic

Compuphonic - Dirty Dancing (download link)
Compuphonic - Dirty Dancing by Compuphonic


His Emotion EP that got picked up by Tiga... (download link)

Finally his banging spring mix...

Strip Steve - Summer Nights Mix


So we're back. Exit was absolute carnage, we got Aoki's rave raft and a mate of our was almost killed by a dragon. No joke.

I've got a massive exit post in the works that i'll drop tomorrow sometime, it's just taking an absolute age to put together because there's literally so much to put in it. But when i was getting back into the loop of all things musical i stumbled across this mix from 20 year old french house/techno wizz kid who's been tearing up the scene recently. I was a bit skeptical at first as i assumed it would just be nonesensical heavy techno but oh my daiizzz i was blown away by the majority of the tracks... especially his new tune 'Freaks' which is on BNR's Miami Noize 2011 compilation and i'm still trying to get my dirty mitts on it.

Deffo worth a listen...

Bag Raiders - Snake Charmer

We don't usually post just about one song here on the Juicy! blog but for this banger i just had to make an exeption. Bag Raiders have always made really funky upbeat electro/disco that tended to be fairly bass heavy but with this tune they've really pulled it out of the bag (sigh)...

It's got everything, whistles, bells, bass and an unbelieveably catchy hook line, i got it yesterday and already i've listened to it about 20 times...

Juicy! Presents... No. 19 Music

 
Today I want to introduce a record label that has been putting out some seriously good music from a while now from some producers we've been raving about like Soul Clap, Lee Foss, Jamie Jones, DJ Sneak and Art Department. Also interestingly the name No. 19 Music comes from the philosophy behind the label... 

"The No.19 brand/concept was created based on ideas expressed in article No.19 of the declaration of human rights - "Freedom of Expression". The principles and values underlying article 19 of this declaration - the protection of free expression are: promoting the search for truth, enhancing social and political participation, and enabling self-fulfillment and self-expression" 

Below are some tracks from the producers that they're championing at the moment...  

Miguel Campbell is a producer that prides himself on his french electro styled disco that is influenced heavily by early daft punk sounds and it's crazy good, perfect summer vibes.
Miguel Campbell - Metro Line by Gouranga

Miguel Campbell - The Metro Theory EP

Miguel Campbell - I Can't Get Enough

Also Soul Clap, who are signed to No. 19 have just released a compilation album called Social Experiments 002 featuring a shit ton of new music from pretty much everyone from the label, it's absolutely amazing. Higlights include... James Teej - Galaktik, Miguel Campbell - Kiss & Tell, Deniz Kurtel - The L Word. If you're looking to get into the deepish underground house you'll do no better than getting this compilation...

Get it here... Soul Clap - Social Experiments 002

Juicy! - The Red Bull Mixtape w/Toddla T & Clouds

 

We've been quiet on the blogging front over the past week, and for good reason. Exams are over, summer has offically began, the countdown to Exit festival has started and the Juicy! DJs got invited down to London by Red Bull to cover a project they're working on...

The Red Bull Mixtape Vol. 1.

The idea behind it is really quite simple, take 9 of the most promising up & coming artists representing each area of the UK, throw them in a state of the art studio with Steel City's Toddla T, compress it all into a Mixtape for free download over a period of 10 days then spray it all over the internet.

What do you get? Probably one of the most exiting musical projects we've seen in a long time.

After having got completley wired off all the free Red Bull we could drink, we stole some time with two producers making some serious waves within the techno scene, hailing from Perth but now based in Edinburgh...  Clouds

We talk about all sorts of stuff, getting signed to Fake Blood's Label Blood Music, getting headhunted by Tiga's Turbo label, how their heavy party techno mixes with Toddla's dancehall vibes, exciting pints of beer and why they'd love to hear Daft Punk play tunes from an old jukebox in their local working man's club. Listen to it below...

We've also started to ask everyone we interview for their current top 3 tunes they're hammering out in their sets...

Clouds Top 3...

Adam Beyer & Jesper Dahlback - As If Dubs

Altern8 - Frequency (Djedjotronic Edit)

Dustin Zahn - Stranger To Stability (Len Faki's Podium Mix)

Next up, we got the pleasure of meeting DJ/broadcaster/producer, none other than the self titled 'boom DJ from the steel city'... Toddla T

Not gonna lie, he's a gent, and nuts, and this is one of the funniest interviews we've done to date. We get the low down from him on all sorts of stuff, his label Girl Music, his collaboration with Roska - Toddska, where he's looking forward to playing the most over the summer, why he likes to drink Guiness and Red Bull, eating waffles and chicken and finally who would win in a fight between Toddla T & Mr T.

I swear we chat more and more shit each interview, check it out for yourselves...

Toddla T Top 3...

Des Demure - Variable

Toddla T - Take It Back (2 Bears Remix)

David Heartbreak - Chavvi

Stay glued to the Juicy! blog and we'll post all about the Red Bull Mixtape when it gets properly released along with loads of photos and videos from the whole 10 days. We didn't get a sneak preview of the tracks they were producing so we're super exited to hear what each collaboration has turned out like!

Big thanks to Leroy, Nick, Shannon, Mike and everyone else at Red Bull and of course Toddla T and Clouds for being such gents.

Remember to follow us on... Facebook & Twitter for all the latest and greatest in tunes, interviews, news and patter....
