Summer's last gasp....



Ok, it's Saturday afternoon, I've just enjoyed what I genuinely think will be the last few hours of sunshine this summer and now it's time to blog some TUNES! Starting with this:

BLOG BURNER:

This week's official Blog Burner comes from a match made in heaven. Friendly Fires & Azari & III have made a late contender for tune of the summer in my opinion with this deep slice of sun-soaked disco magic. Shimmering synths and burning basslines make this near-perfect. Pick it up on the forthcoming addition of 'Suck My Deck' mixed by Friendly Fires and hold onto summer that little bit longer...

Friendly Fires & Azari & III - Stay Here



Ok, it's no secret now, dubstep is OFFICIALLY mainstream with Katy B hitting No.5 in the charts last Sunday. Here she joins Magnetic Man on their new single 'Perfect Stranger', the original is already primed for the top 40 with a pop hook which has massive potential. Here's Benga's grimey version for all the heads...

Magnetic Man ft/Katy B - Perfect Stranger (Benga Remix)



Tune of the summer? In my opinion the answer is yes. With Tensnake's 'Comacat' an official 2010 anthem and enjoying daytime airplay left, right and centre it was inevitable we'd get some fresh remixes for the official release. Here Round Table Knight's take the 'Calypso' formula and produce a peaktime monster in the process. If only I had it in time for Creamfields!

Finally, we end with an anthemic slice of liquid dubstep from Jakwob. This track has been floating about for most of the year in various forms but is only now getting the full release it deserves. An epic soundscape in all respects you can expect this to feature in my sets for the foreseeable future. LOVE IT!

Jakwob - Here With Me
