Fidgets Torch Bearer

While in the thick of exams I got an awesome gift in my facebook inbox from a chap by the name of Sean Taylor, what a goodie! As you might have noticed, despite the blogs namesake, there hasn't been much fidget on this here blog, because it all started to sound the same. This man's production skills have managed to convince me that there is still some hope for the genre. He utilises very catchy almost classic vocal samples, while delivering grotesquely bouncy beats that force you to dust off that old two step. I'm quite excited to see more from this talented lad.

Inter_Stellar Zulu

A few days ago, a close friend and I were talking about the good old days of Natural Groove (one of the most epic South African clubs). One thing that stood out in my memories was arriving and immediately wanting to jam, because the residents had a way of setting the most relaxed vibe. This track is one of those mood setting tracks that immediately sounds like you've heard it before. Its deep, its soulful while being upbeat. Try it on

Zoka Matic - Drum Study (Afrilounge Remix)

Bodie Marlo

Tracks like Bodie Marlo work for me because they actually have the effect of making you forget about your surroundings and completely engulfing you in a hypnosis effected by alien repetitive sounds. I'm in love with this track, there's nothing particularly earth shattering about its originality but the emotion carried through is amazing. Chopstick & Till Von Sein are your pilots, don't bother fastening your seat belts because there's no way you're gonna get up.

Beautiful Surrender

I finally heard this song out at the Monica Kruse event, which was beyond epic. The best part was that, even though i listen to this track on the regular, I was suprised at the beautiful calm surrender it brought as i floated away on its deep beats and simple vocals. If you look in the dictionary for what house is, you'll probably find this song title there too. Maya Jane Coles has managed to produce a whole EP with the sound that originally defined house.

Contender for Top Track of 2010

I know its pretty daring to put up such a title as we all different tastes and opinions on what tracks have been epic this year. I'm sure a lot of you will side with Tensnakes - Coma Cat, and while I'm a fan, this track blew me away. It just does it for me, the chunky, distorted build up sends you into an erratic anticipation of the drop and while its a subtle break, what is subsequently delivers, leaves you lost in figuring out how your feet are moving to the funk.

Erdbeerschnitzel - I Wonder

Jesse Rose & Riva Starr

Now here are two artists who don't need much introduction, both having achieved much success in their careers. Now they've come together to create an absolutely joyful teaser to all the good times you'll have this year end. I especially appreciated the disco old school vibe, but its a definite must for those get togethers' before hitting the town. Give it a spin

Jesse Rose & Riva Starr - Start The Weekend

DUb-bing Out

Now here's a track I've been looking for, for quite some time. Basement Jaxx dropped it on my birthday and it completely floored me, especially since I'm not the biggest dub_step fan. Its a Caspa remix and it does the original complete justice. Let its simplicity sweep you away


Art Of Noise - Moments In Love (Caspa Remix)

Phonetic Jazzophone

I discovered a long time back that I study (well cram) best while listening to music, so the following will be a collection of tunes that got me 'in the zone'. First up, and this came as a complete surprise, Homework have brought forth a complete banger comlpete with old school feel and vocals but with a new almost urgent energy. This track is sure to drive any crowd into complete frenzy, and perharps most endearing is its almost jazzy influences in places. Enjoy it
