Drop 'n' Dukie

So here's one I missed... which is odd, since it involves one of my favorite bands going, the mighty, mighty Dub machine known as Fat Freddy's Drop. Apparently, Ninja Tune operative and confirmed Russian DJ Vadim did this whole remix EP without informing me. Which just goes to prove that Russians are dicks. Actually "remix" doesn't even quite describe what he does to these songs, as he's also added vocals from a female singer and a rapper. Interesting...



If you like this one, all 6 tracks are available for DL. And you can hear the Drop's amazing singer, Joe Dukie, in this week's radio show...

Batman Don't Make Beats

But Robinn does! Well, not Batman's totally-not-homosexual sidekick... but this new producer with a debut album out on the mighty Compost label. See what I did there. I'll give you a second for your mind to get un-blown...

... Ok. So, not a lot of info on this guy out there, so let's let the music do the informing. See what I did there? I AM ON FUCKING FIRE TODAY, PEOPLE! Anyhoo, real nice future bass niceness and a free DL...



And here's the part where I plug Shuffleupagus Radio. New episode tomorrow. Don't sleep! Especially if you are at the controls of some heavy machinery...

His Barck is worse than his... never mind

One of the main men in Jazzanova, Alex Barck is set to release his first solo album, called Reunion. He gave it that name because he recorded on the Island of Reunion, which is located off Madagascar and for some reason is technically part of France. So that must be amazing for them. I'll bet they totally brag about that at parties... Anyhoo, the whole thing is streaming on Soundcloud right now, and it's a super-deep trip. This one featuring vocals by Christine Salem is my favorite, I think...



And that segues rather nicely into the fact that the latest Shuffleupagus episode contains a Jazzanova remix. Boom...

Patchin' It Up

A saxomaphone/clarinet player, a tuba player and two drummers. Acoustic. Rocking an Afro/Caribbean Jazz vibe. That's interesting. That's also Sons Of Kemet, the latest project involving Mr. Tom Skinner, who's quickly becoming a favorite around here. Now, I should probably give you an original, but this remix, by Brownswood operative Alex Patchwork happens to be available for free download. Do I look out for you kids or what? Enjoy the Acoustic Afrobeat Dubstep (you heard me) vibe...



And here's where I tell you to check out Shuffleupagus Radio, an important part of any nutritious breakfast.

The Deets

It's always nice to find a quality, proper Deep House long-player these days. And Swiss producer Sam Geiser, aka Deetron seems to have provided us with one right here. Can't think of any clever dick jokes to relate to this post, so just have a listen...



And Episode 6 is now in the mix...
