Philly Kuduro
2009-09-21 10:02:00 Another certified banger that came through our blog inbox recently was this lead single off Zakees's upcoming EP titled Ku Ku Bass/The Rise of Anburley. The guy makes tough african club music but with his Philadelphian upbringing strongly audible, sounding like Dj Sega mixed with Dj Znobia. Your probably better off just following the link rather than having me give you anymore simplistic comparisons. Just know thats it's hot and there is plenty more to be expected over Coming months. Zakee's EP is out later this year through Green Owl Records.Zakee Kuduro - Sane Eba. (ysi) More About: Philly
On The D-Low
2009-09-18 08:56:00 I've been working on the new blog layout, adding the finalising touches - by the way if you haven't heard us mention, we'll be launching a new website and the label at the same time, around Oct 24th (Rob Threezy show @ The Espy), so you'll have to update your rss feeds. Or you might have heard us mention it a million times, well now it's there baby... Anyway so i was working on the "Scatterblog Radio" part of the website where we will have all the podcasts and mixes and etc., was writing in the dates of my mixes, and realised the last one i'd put up was from all the way back in 2007!!! What the hell right? 2 years! - which is especially weird because a lot of the readership from here used to follow my mixes... So anyway i have recorded a couple of mixes in the last couple of weeks. I wasn't going to post them because they aren't really finished and not really properly crafted, but are rather a few tracks i'd worked out to go together to play live. These mixes are just one t...
A Night Slugs Sweat
2009-09-15 17:40:00 I've totally gotten into mix tapes again. I'm finding lots of good ones again and i'm finding a lot more with some purpose and energy. I'm totally into one's that are either genre-specific, or you know, sound-specific, so i go for them a lot. I still cant stand those sorta "april mix" style things usually, you know, whatever hot tunes are in the blog charts for the month, unless they're from some1 i already know and respect, usually. I'm obviously looking for a range of tracks/artists i don't know in a mix, but just enuf that i do know to draw me in. I'm also into just good mixes and mashes in a mix - but that's kinda hard for me to know, so doesn't usually dictate weather i will bother downloading and listening to a mix. This mix from the Night Slugs fits in with just about everything i've mentioned above. It's on a grimey throwback/bringback, uk funky sorta vibe. It has a bunch of energy, and the mixes keep you pinned throughout. It's also mixed by and features a wh...
Pied Piper
2009-09-14 18:28:00 Had to get onto posting this tune as soon as i heard it, and i was pleasantly excited when i found out it was from a sydney dude on an ozzie label! Tom Piper has obviously been hard at work, cause he has a discography that's already huge, remixing the likes of Sidney Samson, Bass Kleph and Ursula 1000. His latest remix, of Danny T's "Chico" has gotta be up with as one of my favourites. It's got all my boxes ticked for what i want in a song - a droney but bouncey synth (middle drop), some kinda weird horn or tuned instrument that sounds non-western freaking out (third drop), some marching drums, some congas and it changes up so i got cue points galore... What more could a little girl want? Pipe it... Danny T - Chico (Tom Piper's CrackCrack Freshness Remix) You can grab the whole release here, via No Frills which also comes packed with a Hump Day remix. And be sure to check out his newer release with another Scatterblog favourite (who i can't believe we haven't done a post o...

Dirtybeats.
2009-09-08 10:13:00 This one turned up in our blog email box recently and to be honest it was the title alone that prompted me to hit the download link. Alone In The Jungle turned out to be totally off the nose and I immediately went into a frenzy trying to find more online info. All I really found out is that they are a production and DJ duo from Tijuana Mexico, that smash parties with a bazillion dubplates. Anyhow the Dirtybeats have a pretty interesting myspace so excuse my slightly lazy research and check it out.They sent us a bunch of cool remixes but their original production was the pick of the bunch.Dirtybeats - Alone In The Jungle (ysi)
BeatauCue
2009-09-06 18:41:00 Oh man, so glad i just found this in the promo box, i've been hanging to get my hands on the BeatauCue remix of "Pon de floor" since i heard it on that essential mix...Anyway beatacue was the dude who did that reedit of pon de floor - like adding his own drums and bits over the top of a rip, and making it sound good. Then all of a sudden he has an official remix of da thing and it's like explosion time.He just does enuf on this remix - just changes up the hook and adds a little bit more drumming, and it redoes this tune all over for me... Hands in the air...Major Lazer - Pon De Floor (BeatauCue Remix)Be on the lookout for his remix of Peanuts Club (big release) too....and if you feel like a mix he's got one here.

2009-09-03 07:34:00 The Last few weeks I've been djing at the freshest Thursday night in Melbourne 'Hangtime' at Ding Dong Lounge. They got me to do a mix tape for them about 3 weeks ago and i thought i would post it up here for you all to check out!

Schlachthofbronx
2009-09-03 06:23:00 I just wanted to let you all know that the new Schlachthofbronx album is super dope and you should all go buy it at beatport or even juno. Here is one of my favourite tracks off the album, also watch out for the album vinyl drop on Sept 18thSchlachthofbronx feat Doubla J - Di Finga (mediafire) (yousendit)One of scatterblogs favourite artists Douster does it again with this wild tune "King Of Africa", i cant wait for this to be released!
Sneaky Edit
2009-09-01 09:19:00 This is a little edit I put together which has been serving me well in my slower club sets. Recently several batches of second hand Cumbia have come through my local record shop providing a gold mine of samples. Thanks to Ms Butt for putting this one aside for me.

From Angola with love Pt2.
2009-08-31 08:51:00 I'v come across soooo much Kuduro music lately that I couldn't help but put some more up. This stuff is pure fire in the club, just listen to the percussive frenzy that is Tira Makossa. I could spend the next 40 years programming drums before ever getting close to this, ah well. Noite E Dia is one Angola 's most successful Kuduro vocalists having put out two collaborative albums with legendary producer Puto Prata plus many solo releases. I'v had the distressed auto-tune stuck in my head for days now. Noite E Dia - Tira Makossa. (ysi).Came across this gem by Dj Vielo from France and was instantly taken by the simplicity of the synth and drum arrangements. You can really hear the european influence, which certainly isn't a bad thing, just a more stripped back sound is how you'd describe it I guess. Dj Vielo - Decale Mon Afrique. (ysi).

From Angola with love.
2009-08-17 07:51:00 If some douche-bag was to make awkward conversation with me at a dinner party by asking what kind of music I'm into, I'd probably mumble something meaningless and stare at the ground. To answer truthfully though, am I allowed to say "regional music"? Like Philly Club comes from Philly, Baile Funk is from Rio, Bubbling from Holland and Kuduro takes root in Angola . They'd probably think I was a total jerk and walk off but that stuff really interests me. I'd say it's because there is such an overwhelming amount or music available via the internet I find comfort in the cultural significance of regional styles. It doesn't hurt to remember there is more to music right now than pasty dudes nerding out with Ableton in their bedrooms. Anyhow recently I went out on a hunt for Kuduro tracks and thought I'd share some of the kill. Enjoy. Ize' - Tronku Di Mundo (ysi)Nilcaps - Show Kuduro (ysi) More About: Love , With Love
Blip Blips Are The New Wamp Wamp
2009-08-12 06:07:00 It's weird, i'm getting tired of all the blips and blops and whoop whoops in songs, just as much as i am getting completely obsessed and overtaken by them (3:30).So, this remix of the Crookers effort on the Funk Mundial series by Rene Kuppens has totally shot up to my favorite track of the month. The drums are so huge and remind me of a brazilian drumming group - then the track gets so twisted with that laugh hook. Been playing it like every set - kinda hard to get a really crazy response for it by everyone all the time, but mixed right it jaaammms.Totally stole this tune from the Beatjunks blog (best blog source for dutch house that i've found).Crookers - Funk Mundial (Rene Kuppens LOL Remix)Ralvero is another dude who just kinda jumped up outta nowhere - as so many of these artists are for me. This remix of De Bos (grab release here - Funkovic mix is dope too) is my favourite of his, and it's just pure dancefloor hype - sharp drums, white noise, pulling and pushing kik, plenty...
Maybe So, Maybe No
2009-08-12 04:25:00 Mayer Hawthorne "Maybe So, Maybe No" from Okayplayer on Vimeo.A style that we normally wouldn't post her, but considering i'm listening to this album on repeat obsessively, i figure it needs a shot...The voice of Mayer Hawthorne is just so fucken cool, best word to describe it really. Totally soulful, but still totally individual. His album is out on the seemingly forever great, Stones Throw - who also did the first single as an awesome heart-shaped 45.I totally recommend the album (pre-order it here), am in love with every song, except maybe the title track... "Maybe So, Maybe No" from the vid above, and "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" are my pics of the bunch.Mayer Hawthorne - Your Easy Lovin' Ain't Pleasin' Nothin' (alt link)

King of the Mixtape
2009-08-05 07:09:00 This Saturday night the Espy front bar will be transformed as king of the mixtape game DJ Benzi takes over with full Scatterblog support. If you've spent the last few years locked in your grannies attic then you might not know but this guy has the mixtape world thoroughly on lock. I first became aware of the heat behind him a while back when Turntablelab were selling the Juke Jams mix and since then his output has shown no sign of slowing down. Entry is free so there is really no reason we wont see you there, unless of course your reading this somewhere far far way from Melbourne. Thinking back to that Juke Jams mix here's a sneaky little moment that will serve as a good introduction for some and a refresher for others. This is Rashad's version of Move Back, which Benzi dropped exclusively.Dj Rashad - Move Back (ysi). More About: King , Mixtape
Pick It Up
2009-07-28 03:36:00 About a month ago i had the pleasure of going into the studio with Nick Thayer, producer extraordinaire and all round nice guy! We had talked about getting together for awhile to make a track and i was glad it finally happened, i picked up so much in the time i was with him and after a couple of days we had something completed. It is essentially a club version of Fatman Scoop's Faith Evan's sampling Chic sampling 'Be Faithful', and i wont lie we were listening to alot of nadastrom before hand!We have got a lot of love with this tune from local and international DJs and it has been doing damage to dance floors wherever i play it. Here is it tagged and serato ready, hope you enjoy it!Nick Thayer & Mat Cant - Pick It Up (direct download)Also you can hear it on Nick's latest Mixtape "Thizz Disco Vol 3", the tracklist is amazing and i'll post it in the comments section for anyone that's interested.

A little bit emo
2009-07-22 04:52:00 I've been meaning to do an emotroic post for ages- probably just long enuf for it to be sad. I'm still trying to make it into a genre in my traktor crates too, even tho i only ever imagine myself making like one mix tape and never actually playing it out. Even so, i'm holding strong, and me and KB made a track that was gonna be released as a Manges thing, but since that project is now kaput (well after our second release comes out anyway) it's just gonna be a collab thing, anyway point being it's totally emo... Emotronic is kinda a lame name, and really, it's kinda weird to try and label it as a genre even tho it's been around for ages. Basically i've stolen the name emotronic from Duke Dumont, i was calling it emo-dance (much lamer) until i heard tronic, which i think first came about with his remix of "Two Doors Down". The way i'm generally categorising it is with songs that have big chords; really evolving and adventurous/story telling like arrangement; big, emotive soun...
One From The Vaults
2009-07-20 08:22:00 Going back a few years to when Man Recordings was first blowing up and Bonde Do Role were making their debut on Mad Decent, the sounds of Baile were blowing my young mind. I don't play so much of it out any more and so completely forget about this track until recently when sorting out my crates. It's the first club track I ever finished and features high school friend Jim Elson on electric guitar, with me doing the drum programming and mix. Cop it in all its un-mastered, under produced, teenage glory. Shits getting nostalgic up in here. Lewis CanCut - Chachacha (z share)
hey HEY hey
2009-07-16 16:29:00 3 dudes that we love, how could we not post this tune?Laidback Luke has that deep new dutch sound that's so huge (and is doin so many supa collabs right now). Diplo is an ultimate DJ superstar. L-Vis 1990 has got that new sound that's awesome drone, club and tribal... Ok, ok, enuf fan-boy shit. Check the track if you ain't. I gotta say i do love playing the original, just for the second breakdown and drop with that "comin and comin and goin, and drop" sample (Rye Rye yeah?), and the second drop is more hectic (as it should be). This L-Vis remix is probably my favourite track off the release tho. Enjoy...Buy it here.Oh and p.s. despite the rumours, L-Vis didn't make this with Switch, it was all by his little self. That's the second time Switch has got hype credit yeah? (aka with diplo on the Get Off release)Diplo & Laidback Luke - Hey (L-Vis 1990 Remix) (alt link)
Stagga
2009-07-09 07:01:00 Enter Stagga... I can't quite remember how i managed to stumble over this guy, but what i do remember is how refreshed i felt after i did... Dub-Step is definitely a sound that is experiencing that flood/saturation that all good underground genres eventually experience. There's producers popping up left right and center and there's a lot of stock-standard same-old same-old stuff being put out. So, fuck that, and enter Stagga. I first heard his track 'Robotomy', and it really grabbed me. It's not thrash out bass, it's not too duby, and it's not so out there that you can't get in to it. It does have deep bass, it's got a great hook (phone-call on blast), fun samples (Futurama!) and a swingin dubstepa rythm - really a fresh sounding track. It's not throw your hands up kinda stuff, but shit, it's catchy as fuck.Stagga - Robotomy (zshare alt)The radness doesn't stop there, we got another track, Timewarp.

Tight Whites.
2009-07-07 07:39:00 This 12 came through my local over the weekend and grabbed me straight away. I'd never heard of a Birmingham based producer named Emvee until now but this record served as a pretty decent introduction. I'm kind of stuck when describing the sound which is a good thing but if I had too, i'd say it's a mix between minimal garage and uk funky. The a side is solid but i'll put my bets on the flip which is laced with that world feel I can't get enough of right now. Vinyl and download of the full release are available through Juno.

ZZK Stay Winning.
2009-07-01 08:52:00 Going by what I'v been posting so far this year, there's no denying I'm a big fan of what's coming out of Argentina at the moment. ZZK records are just killing it in the tropical beats department and show no signs of slowing down with a totally bullet proof roster of artists. Not so long ago they released their second edition ZZK sound, a compilation of work perfectly summing up the signature sound they have come to represent over the past year. I'm not going to offer some crazy exclusive blog track, that'd be over-kill cause all you need to do is to visit their site where you can buy any tracks you like off the comp for $1 each which is pretty damn fair. I just can't help but share something though so lets have some heat by Sonido Del Principe. This first appeared on Bersa Discos vol4 and immediately blew me away with its slow rave sound. It's now come back on ZZK vol#2 which is good because no one should be allowed to sleep.Sonido Del Principe - Cartagena. (ysi). More About: Stay , Winning

(I'm sure you've read us give heaps of love to this series, as it just produces hit after hit, and is always forward thinking.) The release description says it's by Ghengis Clan, who "...is the new project by a well known London based crew of producers which prefer to stay incognito." I'm gonna go ahead speculate that that group of producers is Mowgli/Solo/Riva Starr/Zombie Disco Squad, as they all produce together, and have studios all in the same street in London.
