Lane 8 - I Got What You Need (S.P.Y Remix)

Irresistible tune, Hospital favourite S.P.Y steps over to Ministry of Sound for the remix of Lane 8's 'I Got What You Need'.

Everything SPY touches turns into gold dust, and this is no exception to that statement. 100% my kind of downtime music, can't fault it - this guy has produced some of my favourite remixes this year, and in cases improved some of my favourite tunes that I didn't think could be improved.
 This is the kind of tune you could lay back and chill to on a rainy day, but by the same means has the potential to get a crowded room moving. Versatile and thoughtfully produced.

Keep posted for S.P.Y's 'Back to Basics 2' forthcoming on Hospital Records.

Wiz Khalifa - We Dem Boyz (Fourward Bootleg)

For those who weren't aware, it was the D&B Soundclash this week over on Radio 1, a huge celebration of Radio 1 & 1xtra's continuous support of dnb over the last 12 years which saw four of the leading drum labels go head to head in a series of rounds in which the hosts, Crissy Criss and Mistajam, as well as the listening public decided the winner of each round and ultimately the whole soundclash.

It was Hospital vs Shogun vs Viper vs Ram and it was epic - if you missed it, listen back here.

This track comes from the Bootleg round which saw an artist from each label bootleg a track of a different genre - Fourwards bootleg for Shogun Audio of Wiz Khalifa's 'We Dem Boyz' was my personal favourite bootleg and is now available as a free download. Heavy.

Neon Jungle - Louder (Hamilton Remix)

RAM Records' Hamilton on the remix for Neon Jungle's latest single 'Louder'. Feel good vibes on this one. People might reference this kind of drum track is a guilty pleasure, mainly because its a remix of a pop tune which largely features the original vocals, but I'm feeling a lot of pleasure and not so much guilt. Not the usual weightiness that you'd expect to hear coming from Hamilton, but a tune nonetheless.

DJ Hazard - Bricks Don't Roll

Next up is a naughty little tune from DJ Hazard which will be recurring in your head all day from the first listen. Came across this banger at Boomtown (a festival I highly recommend, probably the best I've been to) - heard this tune get dropped in a couple sets over the weekend and had everybody going in, I wasn't aware of the track at the time but came back home to find it was Friction's Fire track of the week on Radio 1. If you circulate the rave scene, expect to hear a lot more of this.

'Bricks Don't Roll' EP is available August 25th via. Playaz; purchase here.

Jess Glynne - Right Here (TC Remix)

TC on the remix duties for Jess Glynne's latest smash hit single 'Right Here'.
A simplistic but every bit effective approach; keeping the hook of the original in tact, but reinforcing it with a heavy, rolling bassline, TC brings out the darker side to Jess Glynne's tune.

Free download.

Rockwell - INeedU / 1_2_3_4

I'm aware these tunes have made the rounds now and most people who keep focus on the DnB scene or have gone raves over the past couple months have probably heard Rockwell's most recent double-release on Shogun. 

Despite INeedU and 1234 sounding nothing like each other, they have received equally mixed reviews namely because of how different they sound, especially coming from a DnB and Shogun veteran.

I for one though like the release, and have expressed my support of experimental music coming off drum labels, it's good to see versatility and the ability for producers to stretch the genre in new ways - also i've heard 1234 get dropped in a couple sets and it makes me get a bit silly really.
Out now via. Shogun Audio - purchase here.

Redlight - Cure Me (DJ Die Remix)

As of late my summer has been picking up momentum, I've been making a lot more plans and heading out to a lot more events/festivals since returning to London and ultimately the frequency of blog posts has taken its toll. The summer isn't over yet so I can't promise this won't carry on, but to make up for this i'm trying to do a resurgence of tunes to make up for the long, awkward gaps.

Kicking off with this tasty little remix from DJ Die of Redlight's hit 'Cure Me' - wasn't a huge fan of the original but this reinterpretation does the trick for me, a sultry intro cut short by a barrage of jungle breaks all kept infused with the soft melody of the tune. Blisstening.

Released on the 'Cure Me' official remix EP; purchase here.
