Kingdom – Mindreader EP

February 5th 2010 by Yang | Tags: , | Tweet this post

Mindreader and You have been banging on a lot of mixes for some time now and now Kingdom’s debut release on Fool’s Gold is finally out. His productions are absolute dancefloor stompers and lie somewhere in between bassline, house and UK funky. It’s actually pretty cheesy, especially with the trance like vocals, but the fat riddims will just make you dance instead of wondering whether or not it’s ok to dance to. Some remixes in there as well from big names like Todd Edwards and Night Slugs duo Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990. The L-Vis 1990 remix is my favourite and what do you know… it’s up on RCRD LBL for free!

L-VIS 1990 United Grooves remixes & more

January 23rd 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , , , | Tweet this post

L-VIS 1990 his United Grooves on Mad Decent was a pure banger. As I remember, Rotterdam had to get into it when he played Lowriders but after a bumpy start it went mad. Now there is the remix album with some great remixes by big names: Baobinga & ID, pure dancefloor pleasure, 2step-ish. Buraka Som Sistema, they take it into a latin straight-up rave as we expected! MJ Cole, makes it happen into a street bass funky groove hitting Croydon.  Cosmin TRG turns it into a Latin carnaval rave including the inevitable whistles….

it all the way from London to Paris and we can do it, we all can groove with it….. GO!!!! Free remix by L-VIS1990

Het did also a short mix for BBC redlight

Baobinga Ride It w/ Untold RMX

January 4th 2010 by SIMcommander | Tags: , | Tweet this post

Yes! Baobinga rides again on his second one on Build Recordings! We wrote about Baobinga’s first one on his own label and this second is as impressive! The caribean cowbells are taking the lead with these tipical seventies arcade fire synths. Sliding smoothly between club house, bassline and UK Funky. The Untold remix is as in your face as can be.

LOWRIDERS 2009 list

We have made it. All the Lowriders finished their 2009 list. Some small because they planned to move during the holidays some long, like the SIMcommander, as always!
We had a busy 2009 and met a lot of great people at Lowriders, Dropp and Raw Rhythm and made friends for ever. Had great dinners at home with artists, got drunk with them, the works…!
As you might know by now we are starting a label with some twelves and EPs coming up with great talents, some friends! We will be partying again at WORM, doing collabs with orgs and peops we like, will be in the UK and discovering and sharing interesting new music. We will also start a series of exclusive mixtapes and interviews with people we know and like.
It will be a busy and interesting year, again!

Check the individual lists of Coco Bryce, Yang, Beatnologic, Ruwedata, C02Ro and SIMcommander.

SIMcommander 2009 list

As allways making lists is asking for trouble. I really try to keep up during the year   (I even have a file on my desktop the whole year on named toplist!!). What do I listen to, what stays on my turntables, ipod. Sometimes I listen to a track to long so I bore myself (stupid) and some tracks stay in my head forever.
This year was great for the abstract beats and everything that developed from this. Dubstep as a genre is becoming problematic: to harsh, not subtle, to much copying formulas and then again people like Kryptic Minds (just didn’t get my list, place 21) and some others like Akira Kiteshi were amazing but Skweee really did it for me. The adventure is great, going from funk to idm-ish to dubstep-ish! But the most amazing track was Sluga’s rework of Pharoah Monchs Simon Says. All lists in no order…! Read more »

Top Billin: Playboy Anthem (Rico Tubbs VIP Mix)

December 4th 2009 by Yang | Tags: , , , | Tweet this post

TB_playboyanthem_1500pxRico Tubbs just put this track up as a freebee. The original “Playboy Anthem” will be released on Top Billin together with a bunch of other remixes. The track starts out with typical oldskool garage drums, 90s rave piano riffs and high-pitched vocals and eventually moves into a heavy wobbler. This will smash the dancefloor!
