So Massive
2007-09-24 03:25:00
OK, so, the Crookers Massive EP finally got released through Pottymouth. Of course it's a grand release, Bumblebees is definitely one of my favorite tracks of the year, i've been waiting for it for way too long...You can buy it thru beatport, which finally accepts paypal. Only thing is, is that you need to have funds in your paypal account, which means it doesn't just grab it out of your bank account like most places, probably cause there can be a delay, i dunno. Anyway, it's still paypal on there, aka no credit card needed. (p.s. with the massive release, if you want the original horns release (uses the jump around horns in the break/build section) then wait for a few more days, as there's a differnt version up at the moment, but Amato informs the horns version'll be up soon.)Also check out this dope track i got in my myspace mail from this kid Foamo. Don't know a whole lot about him, and it seems this is the only track he has floating around at the moment. It's been played...

50 ways to Brabe
2007-09-13 03:30:00
So here's the Brabe post! Been sitting on these gems of tracks for a while now, and am now happy to chuck em up for everyone. I got onto this guy, like it seems a lot of people now have, after The Bulgarian raved about him and put some tracks in his Discobelle mix.Anyway, if i had have posted this right when i got the tracks, i wouldn't have the info that labels have been hitting up Brabe trying to sign him. So where i woulda been like i can't believe he's not signed, i'm now like if you wanna sign him now's the time... He is in a project with René van Munster, called Bootlickers (that's both of them in the pic above). They've got an EP due soon under South African label Downsouth Records.What really trips me out, is that he's only been making tunes in reason for a year! Spose the fact that he's trained in violin, piano and jazz-trumpet is helping out, but damn! I can't wait to hear all the rest of the stuff he does in the future. Be sure to check his myspace for now, as ...

I felt it was about time i did a post on Afrikan Boy. You just know he's gonna blow up. I can't get enuf of the Hussel track he did with M.I.A. on Kala (PS Kala is like the best album of the year by faaarrr, no doubt!), the beat was so Switch (although it's produced by M.I.A, Diplo and Switch), and the rhymes fit in all too well.Anyway i was watching the episode of "Spike Jonez Spends Saturday With", on VBS.tv (on recommendation from Palms Out), where spike was doing an episode with MIA. She's starting up a new label, Zig Zag ("when life is a straight line you gotta zag it"), and Afrikan Boy is her first signing, so she takes spike over to his house (part 3 and 4 of the episode). In part 3 they show Afrikan Boy's new track "One Day I Went to Lidl" and i was all like woah!...He's got some mad flow, and a damn cool grimey style. I like his kinda Africanish flow and style, and feel like it's different than your average Grime. Would have something to do with what M.I.A. was talki...

Gaiola Das Popozudas
2007-09-08 10:50:00
This track is meant to be a big hit in Brazil at the moment. Gaiola Das Popozudas is rhyming about dudes coming over to her house and not bringing rubbers. The vocal is being used in the version 5 of the Man Recordings awesome Funk Mundial series, along with a Makossa & Megablast beat (hear it at their myspace). Expect digital release on September 28th.Apparently there live shows kill it. It looks like it from the video above... got some serious porn'd up dance moves going on there.Gaiola Das Popozudas - Late Que Eu To Passando (alt link)

my mix-tape brings all the boys to the club
2007-09-04 11:50:00
Have gotten a couple of pretty hot mix-tapes in the mail in the past week. Two completely differnt styles too.The first, by DJ Beware, has been at a couple of blogs, which i got sent from Daniel Haaksman, owner of the ever awesome Man Recordings. With "the best picks from all Man Rec releasesin 2007, including Baile Funk Masters 1-3 and Funk Mundial 1-5" on it, and all cut up in true style. A real hip hop vibe going thru it, some nice turntable trickery, which accounts for some really smooth and well thought mixes.DJ Beware - Man Recordings Megamix 2007Tracklist:DJ Edgar - Be Goes OnDJ Edgar - Coraçao Do FunkDJ Sandrinho - Pumpere Upu003cdiv styleu003d"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0p x;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px">4.

Prince William
2007-09-03 18:50:00
Damn, i just gotta say, this post is too much awesome. Annnd it's not about prince william, hooray!First up, Leaky Holes In Your Brain went down a treat on saturday, big up to everyone who came down. The beats were fresh, Buffer did some dope masking tape, and new VJ crew Projector Obscura had some mad visuals going on. It was pretty nicely packed most of the time, the dancefloor was good, people were getting down, the dance room was at least full pretty much the whole time. Dude i had a fucked up experience tho, my computer was sitting on this cushioned chair for obviously too long, and the fucker overheated and crashed on me mid set! Was fucked up! Dancefloor obviously died for a bit, and i had to chuck on some random records then a CD or two before i loaded everything up again, so that fucked shit up and i was pissed, but things got better quickly, the rest of the set was good, people still hung out, and Loot came on to do some saving...

Mixburn Vol.1
2007-08-31 03:39:00
The first release of the Mixburn series!!I think i've mumbled about the fact that this was gonna start up on the blog. Basically it's gonna be an ongoing mix series, where i'll be asking Melbourne DJs i think are pretty damn good to do a mix for the blog. They'll say a little bit on it, i'll say a little bit on it, it'll be good. It'll act as a bit of a Melbourne talent (/DJ talent) showcase, and will provide some bitchin, yes bitchin, mixes for your ears. It'll happen on close to a monthly basis, depending on when the mixes come in though. I've got a couple more people making some now too, so expect some more hotness.Ok, on to it. This first mix comes from, now fellow scatterblogger, DJ Paz. He's been bumpin clubs since as long as i've been going to them (and some more), and has definately established himself in the Melbourne scene. I've always admired the way Paz can really keep on top of stuff. He's known about a whole lotta movements, and bought up a whole lotta rec...

No one ever talks up Fatboy Slim anymore and it's so infuriating! If it wasn't for that bastard I'd probably not be a dj now. Not saying that he changed my life or anything, but he's pretty magical. With all the shit thats getting revived these days why am i the only one comfortable with reviving Fatboy Slim? Bring back big beat. Now.

(3 is a mix!)
2007-08-26 16:15:00
Straight up it is. Got this one exclusively for the blog from my mates in Italy, 3 Is A Crowd (you might remember their Nchlinez edit). The mix is well bangin too! You all know how i'm a bit of a mix nazi with what i put on here (to those who have been sending me mixes that i havn't posted, doesn't necessairily mean i don't like them, it can often just be that i don't think they fit in with the blog). This mix however, is going straight to my car stereo (which means there'll be repeat action). There's a bunch of nice remixes, edits and original production by the boys, which basically just indicates to me that people should keep their eye out for future stuff. If they keep going the way they are i'm sure they'll get signed sometime soon. Check out their DJ sets if you're over in Italy (obviously not the night above as it's a year old, i just liked the flyer) .Anyway as an added bonus they've also hooked us up with some tracks to be on the DL.

Scattermish has told me to help build the Melbourne hype. Here is part one.The once infamous Scottie B, Unruly CEO and Baltimore Club DON, is coming to Melbourne.I am a big fan of Baltimore Club music, and you can hear me pound some out Saturday Nights at Revolvers "THE LATE SHOW" with Dj Ransom and crew. Ransom worded me up on this years ago, like he does with heaps of stuff, so lets say it is because of him Scottie is heading our way.I sent Scottie a list of 16 questions about Baltimore Club music and his involvment, as well as a request to post one of his tracks. He was quick in response, and gave me permission to put up some of his heat.QUESTIONS: SCOTTIE B ?FROM BALTIMORE WITH LOVE?1. IS BALTIMORE CLUB A FORM OF ?BREAK BEAT?

Got a nice bit of hot Cole in the mail today.He's done did a remix of the Soulja Boy track that is sending some states crazy over in the US i hear. Soulja Boy has a pretty strange and kinda relaxed roll in his rhyme that can work to some great effect. Cole has done a really good job at turning this into a housey banga! You gotta love those big chimey kick stabs, they always make me feel like slamming my hand down to the ground.Check the original if you ain't heard it.Cousin Cole and Willy Joy are apparently working on a mix tape of many of the various Crank That remixes out there. Also look out for his folk remix CD with Pocketknife Tamborine Dream due out sometime in OctoberOn another interesting note, Soulja Boy has an album Get That due out Oct 2.Soulja Boy - Crank That Soulja Boy (Cousin Cole Remix) (alt link)

Yep time for some more celebration, because.... FINALLY when you search for scattermish on google, it doesn't say "did you mean scatterfish". Hoorah, that's been annoying me since day 1, and it would seem that now i've got more google rep than the scatterfish toy does. And who are we in life with out google rep? nothing, nobody, that's who.So in light of me enjoying having my head up my arse, i thought i'd put together a little mini mix. Nothing too special, just a wee bit of fun i thought i'd chuck together, not really thought out much at all, i just like some of these songs at the moment. That Kill Bill track by LA Riots was a great idea, so i chucked it up for YouSendIt download.scattermish - Upity Downers Mintro Mix (alt link)Tracklist:Worthy- Irst_te (Claude's R U Thirsty Mix)LA Riots - Kill BillMr V - Put Your Drink Down (Bob Sinclar Remix)Bag Raiders - Fun PunchTo My Boy - Model (Sinden Remix)

Man i'm such a hater these days. Hmm actually i've been a hater for a while, everyone hates, just now days i find it a whole lot harder to get over or ignore. For example, i hate going to shit clubs too much lately. Like the crowd at these places can really get to me, i keep feeling like such a fucken snob, but geezus, some of these crowds are horrible. And man, so many DJs around here fucken suck, like really suck, it's annoying. I'm just like, how the hell do they get jobs, and keep getting them? There's more to DJing than being able to beat match. Everyone can beat-match, especially in genres where every tune is made at the same speed. But you'll go places, and see people just like leave a 6 minute track to play the entire way thru, and then just mix it out, in like the last few bars of the outro. I know there's a time and place for DJs who "don't really mix" or "have great track selection" (not quotes i choose to abide by), but when you go out, to a DJ night, you expect ...

Heads up that Duke Dumonts long awaited EP, Regality has been released. It has that pimp track Lean and Bounce, his awesome remix of Debbie Deb's When I Hear Music, and a new track Final Level. You can get it thru DJ Tunes, or a bit cheaper thru Beatport.Also i was trying to get the new Crookers remix of Armand Van Helden's I Want Your Soul, and got the ever annoying beatport thing where it says "this release is not available in your territory". Which i think everyone agrees is the most annoying and backwards thing, which is just to do with distribution issues with the label i think. But not to worry, cause there's a way past this.1. Go here, and download Hide IP.2. Install and start it up, and it will automatically find a proxy server that masks your IP.3. Usually it's a good idea to find an proxy server in the US since they will most likely have distribution rights over there. So keep getting the program to search until you find one. Then you can save that IP in the Hide IP op...

Yeah! A pure fresh new joint of hotness right here. Digital Manges (manges is greek for gangster) formed only recently. As it is written, "Friday night drinks and shenanigans has produced Digital Manges" ;p.The sounds are fresh for club bangin. I can definately feel some sorta South American party influence, some almost dnb'y bass push, and some dubstep-ish club anthem phat production. Basically all those words = a nice formula in my science book.Anyway check it out, scatterblog exclusive! and it's good quality. I'll keep you updated on any future stuff.

Got this lil bit of heat recently, coming from 3 Is A Crowd 's DJ Froz. It's a nice little figeted club edit of the Crookers track Nchlinez ft Dargen D'Amico, who raps with Phra (apparently the rap is about Phra invitiv D'Amico out to a party to rap with the crookers. D'Amico is all cool and about to leave but then he feels uncomfortable cause he hasn't freestyled in a while and thinks other can will beat him in a battle).The track is really cool, and will fit into my house-hop kinda sets. It's originally off the Crookers Mix Tape. Froz has made it fit for DJs and extended it a bit and added his own little touch of fidgety goodness for the edit.Also if you're looking for any new Crookers releases, a couple have just come out. There's their remix for Diabolico Coupé which you order with PayPal over at this lavorare myspace page (i'm hoping my copy gets here by the weekend).
