Lee Coombs - Eclectic Sessions 1




A new project from our man Mr. Coombs. Let's give him the mic to explain ....


"Something a little different this time. I get sent and buy loads of music that i can't really play in the clubs because it's more chilled out or down tempo or too old etc.


So, I'm doing a series of mixes featuring some of these and favourite old skool tunes mixed up in an Eclectic stylee..


Its just for fun so don't expect weeks of work compiling the tracks and making sure they are all remixed and re edited like my mix compilations! It's just really what ever tracks i came across at the time of digging in the digital crates"

Meat Katie & Dylan Rhymes :: nu bombz on Lot49



Lot 49 Label bosses Mark Pember and Marvin Beaver join forces to produce this eponymously titled EP, their first full collaborative single since the release of 2002’s ‘Moist’ on the seminal Whole Nine Yards imprint.

‘Roll Player’, the first of the two original cuts that feature on the release, is a piece of superb bass driven techno. Tight drums and off kilter electronic riffs produce a hypnotic effect and the simple but highly effective arrangement draws you deeper down the rabbit hole with every bar. The original also comes with a big and bold breaks remix from production duo Specimen A, who ramp up the volume and press home with distorted synth lines and swirling FX. Epic stuff.

Second of the MK and DR originals comes in the shape of ‘Long Acre’, a pulsating and techy cut built around a tough repetitive groove. Its attention grabbing main riff is ballsy enough get any dancefloor moving yet the track retains a deep and underground vibe from beginning to end. This is a brilliant piece of techno from these two musical heavyweights.

The remixes for ‘Long Player’ are provided by Mike Hulme of Introspective fame, who delivers a great piece of pacey Moroder-esque warehouse techno and Dylan Rhymes who gets to grips with his own creation, turning in an excellent re-edit that stays true to the original.

Carl Cox “Another good release here from Lot49. Mike Hulme’s remix of Long Acre is the winner here. Like the original of Roll Player too.”

Laurent Garnier “good pumping tunes for kicking the shit out of the crowd, this works for me”

And finally our favorite comment

Matt Walsh “Not a bad ep from someone who is essentially from the "breaks" scene.. not for me though I'm afraid.”

Available now exclusively on Beatport for 2 weeks


Nathan Fake :: On The Mix (May '09)



Always had a soft spot for Nathan Fake's gear, ever since his 'Outhouse' mix (which I still consider one of the finest moments in electronic dancefloor music). So yeah, sometimes he does to verge on clevverclevver IDM a little too often for these ears, but having said that, this is a cracking mix from him, as part of the DJMix Podcast series.

1. Julian Fane - Disaster Location (Planet Mu)

2. Ex-pylon - Prolotouswings (n/a)

3. Avus - Wide Mouth Frog (n/a)

4. Four Tet - Ribbons (Domino)

5. Autechre - Basscadet (Warp)

6. Boards of Canada - ? (?)

7. Ariel Pink - For Kate I Wait (Paw Tracks)

8. AFX – I’m Self Employed (Rephlex)

9. Arthur Russell - Arm Around You (Audika)
10. Carl Lozito Jr. - The Great Bear (n/a)

No resting on their laurels at U&A as Zodiac Cartel's chart-topping early-summer anthem 'We Don't Play That' now gets the remix treatment from no fewer than 4 top-notch electronic wunder-kidz. Best of all, they are
