LOCAL HERO:
Towards the end of last week got a little hectic so I'm currently re-posting all the stuff that should have gone up (I'm actually writing this on Sunday, mental eh?) including our inaugural Local Hero award which this week goes to Spectra mega-pal B.Tone. Yet again the new Heartbeats compilation comes up trumps with this dubbed out, thunderous mix on Dirty Basement's ridiculously titled 'Funky Ass Boom Bap'. B.Tone's highly addictive minimal take aims it straight at the dancefloor with an 808 which will knock you off your feet. Nasty.

Almost every week we get a new cut from Quahaze and they never fail to impress. Master of all things deep & funky, Jan Rybacki has got his sound nailed. Dreamy synths, grooving basslines & floating arpeggios roll without hinderence in this seven minute cosmic journey. Word has it that there is an album in the pipeline as well so keep your ears eh, pricked, I suspect there are great things to come.
Quahaze - So Real
Next up Pasty Thirtytwo gets grimey on 22 year old Baltimore rapper Rye Rye. With a bassline that sounds like a tricked out snail rocking a subwoofer on it's back, this filthy re-rub compliments Rye Rye's nasty lyrical style perfectly. I reckon this would probably make Baltimore's hardest hood rats shit themsleves on the kerb if you rolled up with this blasting out the lowrider. You know, if that's what people do in Baltimore.

Finally, Slow It Down have been up to their re-editing hijinx again with this quality re-rub of early 80's funk sisters Krystol. After deconstructing the original and injecting it with some additional spunk, this is the type of slow-grinding, groove rider which will see you rocking a pair of parachute pants like you've just graduated from Bayside High. Smooth grooves yo.
