Lethal B - POW 2011 feat JME, Wiley, Chipmunk, 2 Face, P Money, Ghetts and Kano [Radio Rip]


'Not short of controversy, Pow 2011 is following a similar path to the original but with Sway and Maxsta unhappy at their omissions the song is complete and ready to debut.

We hesitate to commit to anybody definitely being on the song, but the line-up at last check was Chipmunk, Wiley, Kano, JME, Ghetts and the newest name P Money; but we’ll know for sure soon enough.'

Jay-Z - 99 Problems [The Prodigy Remix]



Plan B - Love Goes Down [Doctor P + Danny Bryd Remix]



Plan B - Love Goes Down [Doctor P Remix]


Plan B - Love Goes Down [Danny Byrd Remix]

Doctor P goes in HARD!

Atlantic have been releasing some great remixes with all the Plan B albums and have put each on soundcloud.

Looks like they could be getting released as a album and I can't see why not.

Below are all of the B remixes in a nice little set.



Danny Bryd also produced a excellent remix of 'Miami 2 Ibiza' by Tinie Tempah vs Swedish House Madia and I thought this defiantly deserved to be posted.

Shy FX feat Kano, Donae'o, Roses Gabor - Raver [Breakage Pattern Moschino Remix]




Spotted over on Annie Mac's soundcloud and is a free download on her website.

Always love hearing remixes by Breakage.

Cee-Lo Green - Bright Lights, Bigger City [Video]


'"Bright Lights, Bigger City" is the latest single from Cee-Lo Green's The Lady Killer, which was released today via Atlantic. The video is what you'd expect from the title: bright lights, in a bigger city, with Cee-Lo riding around and checking it all out. Cigars are smoked, champagne is poured, and there's an espionage subplot that doesn't make very much sense. But it all looks very good!' via Pitchfork.





Wretch 32 feat. L - Traktor [Video]


'Wretch 32 is the UK's newest urban star. Already established as a hugely respected underground artist, Wretch has worked with the likes of Tinie Tempah, The Streets, Chipmunk and Bashy and is now coming at you with his solo material.

Aggressively addictive debut single 'Traktor' is already building up unstoppable momentum, having been Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World.'




Didn't think much of this when I first heard it, but the beat is big. Nice video too.

Was also I little surprised to see Wretch get signed up by Ministry, along the touring with Chipmunk couldn't of done any harm.

Out 16th January 2011 on Ministry of Sound/Levels Recordings.

Below is my favourite Wretch cut, from his first album and the full track that he did with Sway for The Devliery 2 mixtape.

True Tiger feat. P Money - Slang Like This [Video]


'True Tiger are a UK based production/DJ collective who have been producing and DJ'ing since 2004. They have their own record label, True Tiger Recordings, on which they have released over 20 singles. They recently produced 'Jungle' one of the highlights from Professor Green's debut album.

'Slang Like This' is a hard hitting club anthem that has been tearing up club bass rigs & radio around Europe since the summer. The single features P Money, a 22-year-old MC from South East London. "The track brings society together in terms of using Slang. I go to a lot of different areas to perform and one thing all different ethnic cultures can relate to is my slang, and that's how the idea of the tune came about" says P Money.'

Noticed a few times that some artists have been releasing videos, on youtube, weeks after the singles release date. It may be the fault of the label not managing the artist properly or maybe deadlines aren't getting met on these video, but it doesn't make any sense to me at all.

Shy FX - Raver feat. Kano, Donae'o & Roses Gabor [MJ Cole Remix]


'Shy FX is without question one of the original pioneers of the Jungle and drum and bass scenes and a true innovator for dance music across the globe. His career has spanned almost 20 years, cementing his name in both underground and mainstream folk-law. Shy continues to maintain his legendary status, true to his art-form and staying relevant and at the forefront of eclectic dance music.

Following on from his production on Wiley & Naughty Boy's 'Never Be Your Woman' single (which charted at no. 9 in Feb 2010), 'Raver' is the street single and debut offering from his forthcoming studio album 'Larger Than Life', due for release in 2011.

Gorillaz - Doncamatic [Joker Remix]


'While on tour with N.E.R.D., the Gorillaz premiered their latest song “Doncamatic (All Played Out)” featuring British singer Daley. A spacious rework of producer Joker has now emerged transforming the tune into a club friendly frenzy.' via Hypetrak.


Gorillaz - Doncamatic [Joker Remix]

Bit late posting this up, but it's been a grower. Found myself vibing to this on the train home earlier.

Love all the layers of deep base that goes into Joker's tracks and the spacious synths that he comes up with makes some excellent dubstep.

Would have to say I do prefer it to the original, Joker is a very talented producer.

For those that haven't heard the original, mentioned above Gorillaz's track, here it is...


Gorillaz - Doncamatic


This post gives me an excuse to post up some of my favourite tracks made and remixed by Joker.

Tron is a classic, you really do need a decent system to appreciate the base and the snap of the snare, One of my favourites.


Joker - Tron


Joker and Ginz - Purple City


Example - Watch The Sun Come Up [Joker & Ginz Remix]


Simian Mobile Disco - Cruel Intentions [Joker Remix] feat. Beth Ditto


Sub Focus - Could This Be Real [Joker Remix]


Professor Green - Just Be Good To Green [Joker Remix] feat. Lily Allen

Below of my personal favourite track to be previewed from the new Ye album, the albums opening track 'Dark Fantasy'.

Tinchy Styder - Game Over [Video] feat. Giggs, Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Devlin, Example and Chipmunk




For me, I think Tinie takes this. He brings energy to the track.

I actually feel the tracks kinda drags a little bit, but it's great for the scene. Maybe Giggs shouldn't of been first off the bat, he completely slows down the track with his flow, although he and Green deliver the best punchlines.

The beat is on point, love the drum patterns, but maybe they should be decreased their bars.

Was a bit disappointed with Example's verse, I've heard him spit those rhymes on about three separate tracks now and Chippy comes in with bare zzzzz's.

I'm sounding a bit negative, but don't get me wrong. I DO love this track.

Below is Sway's effort, who puts in a extremely good effort and I rate this very highly. Zane Lowe knows exactly what he is talking about.

Asher Roth - Next Hype [Freestyle] [Radio Rip]




Via Semtex.

Takes a while to get into it, but this is sick.



Nelly Furtado feat. Wiley - Night Is Young


'Here’s the latest remix from Ms. Nelly Furtado, it’s titled “Night Is Young” and features the UK emcee by the name of Wiley. The single first made it’s debut in early October in the UK but to little effect. But certainly, this version with the addition of Wiley should definitely be a serious contender on the music charts and dance floors.' via Hypetrak.



The 4th quarter means it's 'Best Of' time and this is included in Nelly Furtado's forthcoming compilation.

This was mentioned on Wiley's twitter a little while ago and follows his collaboration with Juelz Santana.
