Go buy my remix of “Mitte Riddim” by Tvyks & C.Monts, out now on Meanbucket records. It’s a seriously bass-heavy bashment/house tune with some disco throwback elements to it. The original was one of my fave UK Funky tunes from last year, so I’m really pleased that I was able to be a part of the remix EP. It’s available via iTunes, Beatport, Juno Download, and pretty much everywhere else.
The new vid for “Bussin Down” from me & DJ Spinn has been getting a LOT of attention:
first PITCHFORK premiered it: (pitchfork link)
ABSTRACTOR were the first to repost: (abstractor link)
then DISCOBELLE reposted it: (discobelle link)
the next day saw THE FADER picking it up: (fader link)
as well as LOUDERSOFT: (loudersoft link)
and XLR8R: (xlr8r link)
awesome UK bass blog THE FAT CLUB put it up as well: (fat club link)
shortly thereafter RESIDENT ADVISOR caught wind of the vid: (RA link)
followed by CHICAGO READER, as part of their Pitchfork Festival lineup announcement: (reader link)
finally the friendly folks at PALMS OUT SOUNDS blasted it: (palms out link)
but perhaps the most glowing review was from FACT MAGAZINE: (fact link)
