One weekend off...

The first weekend I've not been partying in months and only now, with no usual Sunday hangover can I start to look forward to this Saturday's Spectrum. The fact that I've abstained this weekend is going to make it even sweeter...look out for a more detailed post about the event later in the week.

In the meantime though, I've spent a lot of time on Soundcloud this weekend sniffing out some hot local music and here's a few of the best:



Firstly something strangely therapeutic from Monograph Record's ESQ, 'Meet Me' is the new single and while there's a hard electro undercurrent to this song, a lovely series of bleeps & blips dance over the top making it quite an introspective listen. Most importantly this is a free download from Monograph Records so go show some support!

Staying on a 'chillectro' tip (have I just coined a new genre? - let's hope not) Megamegaman has given El Mondo's track 'Tywyfflyd' the remix treatment with a sound that is comparable to a Gameboy hitting puberty (a compliment if your reading this Mega). Get lost in six minutes of spiralling vocals & cosmic digitising...

Next: Some big fat fucking dubstep. A remix of Tempa T's 'Next Hype' by Kid Robotik. The accapella has been knocking about in various forms for some time now but I think it's found a true home on Robotik's grime-step instrumental. Prepare to pull a heavy screwface as Tempa's flow gets nasty and Robotik's sub bass get's even nastier. Menacing to say the least....

Last but not least a fully energised remix of MC Freeflow by the Dirty Basement boys. With a big fat pulsating bassline, an infectious piano loop which nestles comfortably in the background and vocal chops that bury inside your head like an exotic insect this is an out and out peak-time monster lying in wait. Look out for the full release on Yeah Man Records very soon!
