Riva Starr ReChunks 'In The Groove'

Nero - BBC Radio1 Essential Mix

Came across this absolutely fantastic mix from dubstep superhumans Nero. Which our very own Elite Force added his touch to with his revamp of their stunning remix of MJ Cole's 'Sincere'.

Spot this though, there's some killer tunes on there. Apart from the Skrillex, but that's just me. P.S Did anyone see Skrillex & Mau5trap dominate the Beatport charts a few weeks ago? I found it kind of odd; but it's nice to see it getting back to normal.

Biscuit Reality re-fix Riva Starr

Debutantes on the Techfunk Manifesto, Biscuit Reality has a creampie to offer to all the sweet toothed, eyeball-popping enthusiasts of the techy sound.

The duo has recently done an enormous Noze/Riva Starr remix of 'I Was Drunk'. Being a great fan of schnapps, both of the guys do know what they're raving about - clear sound design with an absurd twist of humour make them a perfect complement to the ethos of Noze.

Also, they've just launched their fancy little website (www.biscuitreality.com) the other day that contains soggy imagery about candies, cakes, confectioners and other sweet crap. Get updated about what's going on behind the white overalls and dubious beards...

'Hard Flaw' (Acperience 2010 Elite Force Revamp) *FREE 320*

This track is one of the reasons I make the music I do. I can remember exactly where I was on the dancefloor back in 1992 when I first heard this acid anthem. I'd been into acid house for 3 years or so, particularly the pHuture-style raw filth that to me was the PUNK of it's day. Acid House liberated people and politicized them in a way that's hard to understand nowadays ... going out dancing at the weekend was more often than not a political act, a statement of intent. This actually came out after the Criminal Justice Act became law in the UK (if I remember rightly) so it didn't necessarily soundtrack the rucks & riots & outrage that came with liking & consuming this music, but for me it was a symbol of that joyous moment of total abandonment where you forget everything and simply allow yourself to DROWN in the music. This is acid house at it's finest - an organic symphony of machines.

This version is dead simple. It's about letting the track breathe and evolve how it was always intended too. It's not about meddling, it's about gently giving it a slightly different context - a lot of work went into getting the production elements to sit comfortably and in bringing out certain elements of the original and using the stereo field to decent effect to do this. It's not rocket science, it's just an excuse to dig out this gem and play it in a current context.

Mike Hulme - Live in Manchester (Oct 2010)

U&A stalwart & modular freak extraordinaire, Mike Hulme has been getting plenty of attention of late thanks to an awesome new single soon to come on U&A Recordings. The single features 'Set The Controls' (check out the awesome Burning Man video) and the psychedelic symphony that is 'Sweet Inspiration'.

A remix competition to mix 'Sweet Inspiration' began earlier this week and full information can be grabbed from the WEBPAGE, not forgetting the essential 44Mb of top notch WAVs, which believe me are well worth having even if you're not planning on entering. You can DOWNLOAD THEM NOW.

So back to the business in hand, and this wicked live set was recorded little over a week ago at 'Our Friends Eclectic' in Manchester, where Mike smashed the place apart at this rare hometown show.
