Hyroglifics & Kolectiv - Tize

All eyes over to Dispatch Recordings for this latest release from Hyroglifics & Kolectiv - 'Tize' is a menacing and ominous track.
Hyroglifics first release via Dispatch, teamed up with the Kolectiv trio to produce a dark, techy monster of a track. 
Really hoping to hear this and more tracks like it get dropped at the Dispatch Recordings - Cern album launch party at Plan B, Brixton this Friday.
Released alongside two other productions (Terra / The Fear) from each respective producer in the collab. Available now to purchase here.

Submorphics - Long Been Gone


Submorphics debut single on the Shogun Audio sister label SGN:LTD. 
'Long Been Gone' and its B-side 'Rosewood' deliver a clean and emotive liquid production style that cannot be slated.
 My favourite release from Submorphics, and looking forward to more tracks to come like this.

Shannon Saunders - Sheets



Make room for some new fresh, young, female British talent. 20-year-old Shannon Saunders delivers with her catchy, memorable and melodious debut single 'Sheets'. 

Major affiliations unnecessary, the track has already proved to be hugely popular online, and in keeping steady with this level of production we can expect to be hearing a lot more from this young talent in the coming months.

London Grammar - If You Wait (Shy FX Remix)



Carnival weekend is just around the corner and theres nothing more suitable to get you in the right spirits than Shy FX's new remix for London Grammar's 'If You Wait'. 

The track has been completely transformed, with a reggae baseline and the signature trumpets and percussion, Shy FX has cemented himself an end-of-summer anthem that can't help but make you nostalgic.

Catch Shy FX headlining at the Digital Soundboy Stage (Sir Lloyds Stage - Tavistock Road) at Notting Hill Carnival this Monday alongside the rest of the DSB crew and some other ridiculously big names.

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.
