Baobinga drops 7 fresh dub riddims

Manchester breaks bot Baobinbga has just dropped sample of seven new two-step dancehall fused riddims on his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/baobinga

Baobinga's set was one of my highlights of the Breakspoll afterparty this year. You can sample some recent mixes on Trash Menagerie:

Looking forward to his set with ID at Glade this year!

Breafastaz: Guest mix on Breakzlinkz

Breakfastaz have been a bit quite lately.. their Myspace page is looking a bit like it did last year! Anyway, new things may be rumbling in the bass boys jungle as they've turned up with a fresh April Promo Mix featured on Breakzlinkz. Let's hope so, their remix of Freestyler's 'Warrior Charge' is one of my favourite dancefloor tunes and if this mix is anything to go by they are well and truly back on form with some proper mash up genius...

Freeland: Do You Cope with badass remixes and new album on the way

I'm at risk of turning into a walking advert for Marine Parade.... the new Freeland single 'Do You', out today, has four incredible remixes on it by some of my favourite producers at the moment Joker, PANtYRAiD, Moonbootica and High Rankin. Listen to the full tracks on Discobelle who have also got their mitts on this new mixtape with tracks off the forthcoming album, Cope™ and a new Alex Metric tune. Sweeeet!

Adam Freeland went to Brighton and all we got was this lousy mix tape (Direct link)

Now & Them was a huuuge album for me when it came out in 2004(?). You can pre order Cope™, his first artist album in 6 years, from FreelandFM

How do you dance to dubstep?

Labyrinth: In the Woods

Second recomendation from Spiral Matt - deep atmospheric dubstep from the US by a guy called Labyrinth on Pangea Productions/Pure [Perception Records. Starts off very melodic and floaty while the bass progressively ramps up underneath. Very nice...

Greg Hunter - Dubsahara

Not long after I saw him last, my mate Spiral Matt sent me some links to some good downtempo mixes. I subsequently lost them and now two months later I've had to ask him for them again. Turns out it was well worth it. The first was to the latest incarnation of one of the true greats of down tempo world music, Greg Hunter. Along with Simon Posford and Youth, Hunter was one third of the classic ambient dub project Dub Trees.

Hunter's latest project is dubsahara which he describes himself as 'mystical Persian loops' and does pretty much what it says on the tin. Perfect music to evoke dreams of those balmy summer nights that will be hopefully soothing us in the next few months!


This mix is pretty lush:

Greg Hunter - Telefunkn mp3 57mb (Direct Link)

From the website - www.dubsahara.com - you can also download the last dubsahara LP (new one on the way this summer):

Metasurfing - Cloudshaped - LP

and Hunter's mix from the Inspiral Lounge at Glade last year:

Roll on the festivals!

Mary Miss Fairy and the murder mystery

Had a sweet bank holiday weekend on a mate's farm in Wales. Barns, BBQ, soundsystem, woods, friends and camping... what more do you need? A pair of CD decks would've been handy but it didn't spoil the fun and we had many a wicked set to put on instead; including this epic techno / electro / breaks mix brought along by the lovely Mary Miss Fairy.

As far as I know no-one was actually murdered over the weekend. Just brain cells and good taste...
