When Last Did You Jack?

I've forgotten where or how i got this next track but it's been in my school playlist for about a week and it's getting regular rotation. It's quite bad quality but regardless, it's so bouncy and reminiscent of early house. It's quite an epic tune if i really think about it because there's no way of avoiding this beat, you just gotta jam to it. I'm gonna keep my eye out for any more Salvatore Freda work, pretty sick

Immerse Yourself

So while i somewhat patiently count down the days to h2o, I'm downloading as many sets as i can because in the space between now and then I'm writing so many tests. Anyway back to the music, today I've got a remix by my favorite producer in the world, Martin Stimming. I got this song from the Milton Jackson and Shur-i-kan Dark Energy Radio February Set. It's got Stimming's natural feel to it and it's a poignant build up to a reservedly joyous climax. It's a beautiful track, very mellow while you can gently sway and even dance to stimmings ubiquitous drums. Enjoy

Pink & Blue

I just had to post this video of Andre 3000's - Pink & Blue off his 'The Love Below". Pure Pure Talent! Big up to Lwazi for the heads up

It's Coming..... H2o!!

It's that time of the year again, h2O dance extravaganza. This time round you're gonna flip when you hear all thats in store for you disco dancers, tile breakers and head boppers. First Up, this is really NB, early bird normal tickets are only R200 and early bird v.i.p R300, pretty decent for all you getting.

The interantional Acts include: Kid Massive!!!!!, Jeff Doubleu (What!!!), Bobina, Yasmin and Don 69. This is an event you really dont wanna miss, seriously.

So diarise the 27th Of March now, cause you're gonna lose your face at H2o. For those of you who prefer to roll in style VVIP tickets are off the chain this year, they include: a wake up call, free drinks all day and your own party penthouse!

Exclusivo!!!

After a lacklustre previous album, Bookashade is back with what promises to be a quality LP. I've got an exclusive first track off that LP and it's very promising, dark, alluring and hypnotising. This is house music!!

Bookashade - Regenerate

Deeper than Deep

I'd really like to sincerely apologise to all those out there who aren't deep fans but i'm going throught a bit of an obsessive phase, so excuse me. Last week i was blown away by BlackSheep, Brad S and Troydon at the Woods, so deep all the way. Now i've got a track that literally has the same effect as smoking a blunt, it's so instantly relaxing, you'll want to listen to the whole thing. Let Showboat take you on a magical ride.

Showboat - Haze

Mixcloud

This is the best place to get and upload mixes by established and upcoming producers and dj's, it's got tons of sets featuring some of the newest tracks, go check it out. Mixcloud
I've got a set i particularly enjoyed by Elliot Wright, really nice deep/deep tech rythms, enjoy

Shameless

I've been really getting into sets again, i'd forgotten just how good sets are for finding new tracks. Luckily i've been open minded and trying out sets of random dj's to my great surprise, there's some great track selections out there. This particular tech bouncer-ama is so uplifting simple its irresistable, get it, Sacha Braemer will make you go loco.

Sacha Braemer - Go Loco

Grey Area

Greetings citizens of the blogosphere, I'm back once again with a few tunes that'll hopefully be the soundtracks to your busy days and heavy nights. For the next while there will be a focus on mainly deep/deeptech/minimal but worry not fidget-electro heads, i'm looking for a fellow blogger to take charge of looking for tracks of that nature only. Anyway first up I have something somewhat new from producing ace Riva Starr, it's a rolling bumping tune with lots of quirky personality, give it a try

Riva Starr - Black Cat, White Cat
