Local Hero: Peace - Stay Nervous

So as we round off the week in fine style with some utterly sensational local music, we must apologise for not making it down to the Subcity Studio's for our radio show this week. We went on a little holiday to London last weekend and it left us a shadow of a former selves... and by that I mean we went in too hard and have spent most of the week on a major whitey. Normal service will resume next week, so do not threat....

As for tonight, we suggest either working up a sweat at Thunder Disco Club & RPZ's late night workout at Stereo, jumping about like a crank at Jungle Nation with Scratch Perverts or getting a full time skank on at Subfriction's second party at Blackfriar's Basement, either way your in for a big one...

LOCAL HERO:

Peace is back yo, and he's come correct with that signature sound which gets us scratching our heads at just how to categorise it. Part Dubstep, part Breaks, part soundtrack to space exploration in the year 3000, 'Stay Nervous' brings together a cacophony of noise and filters it into a beautiful slice of drum-rolling power. Catch Peace supporting DJ Falcon & Fred Falke (yes, you read that right) at Naive on the 26th.

Having heard this dropped live by Mia Dora at Subcity's 'Who Da Best?' party last month, I can tell you the general reaction was a mixture of contorted screw face and unanimous singalong. Using the timely vocals of Olive's 'Your Not Alone' and welding them to a devastating Dubstep riddim, this the sound of Mia Dora simply flexing their muscles as they take classic vocals and make them unquestionably theirs.

This is the year of Slow It Down. After covering them in our 'Get To Know...' feature early in January, they've appeared on numerous blogs, caressed many a dancefloor and are now tinkering with their own material. Master's of the re-edit, they simply possess the magic touch when it comes to rolling out the grooves, and this edit of The Biz is a perfect example. Five minutes of pure Paradise Garage for a Friday night down the local discotheque.

Uh Oh, here comes the pain! Digital Stitch is about to go loco-Hacienda on your ass and there's nothing you can do about it. If your after a slice of 2am, dancefloor chaos, here is the tune that's going to take you there. A driving, ascending breakdown that eventually drops with a sound reminiscent of a lawnmower running over a small animal. You better practice your gurn-gob for this one because we're predicting widespread facial disturbances.
